- The royal carriage did not enter through the Gateway because it was closed
- Apparently Tomás, the Gatekeeper at La Tripería, was ill, but Emilio del Gado says he saw him at the market at midday and he seemed healthy
- Tomás was seen talking to a hooded man who slyly handed him something. The hooded man and the Baker are about the same height
- Emilio also says that the royal Baker left through his Gateway at dawn that morning, headed towards La Magdalena. He seemed nervous and was carrying a bulky bag
- Alibi: the Gatekeeper was at his post. It was him who received the wounded men and closed the Abrevador Gateway at 8pm on the dot
- He doesn’t seem to be associated with the other Gatekeeper or the hooded man, otherwise he would not have mentioned them
