At 6:15 p.m. on 2 May, Mahon was arrested when he arrived at Waterloo station and attempted to pay 5d to retrieve this bag. Confirming the bag was his property, Mahon was escorted to Kennington police station to await the arrival of Inspector Savage. He was then taken to Scotland Yard both for interrogation and in order that the contents of his bag could be inspected. When opened, the contents were revealed to be female clothing and a cook's knife, all of which was heavily stained with blood and grease and sprinkled with disinfectant. A canvas racket bag bearing Kaye's initials was also recovered from the bag.
