Biography
Alfred Crommelin had been a boarder at the Rogers house previously from Dec 1840 to Jul 1841, but at the time of her disappearance he was living at 19 John St and had a roommate, Archibald Padley, who confirmed Alfred's alibi for the day Mary disappeared. The Evening Post would later make several error's in reporting that he had been arrested as a suspect and had tipped Joseph Morse - despite the same paper previously reporting correctly that he had been a family friend, that he was the person to identify the body, and that he had a solid alibi for the day of her disappearance.
