Yet, as in earlier cases, this type of remark went unheeded. Perhaps the desire for privacy overcame concerns for security.

There was controversy over the verdict in this murder case both at the time and subsequently. Modern science would have been able to clarify it, by the use of testing of the substances on Dickman’s clothes. However, without such tests, we are in the realm of supposition. The killer was almost certainly someone who knew Nisbet and who was at Newcastle station in time to catch the 10.27 on 18 March 1910. He probably alighted at Morpeth. He had a revolver and was motivated by financial gain. He clearly was intent on murder and had planned his crime ahead of his travels that day. All this would fit in with Dickman. But, of course, there may well have been other men who fit this profile. Although Dickman’s guilt seems highly probable, it is not entirely proven beyond reasonable doubt. A recent study of the murder, however, concludes that it was planned out in advance and the stolen money well hidden by the killer – Dickman.
