W ffl^£atogsford's verandah. He saw no Jjne beside in the street. Mr Broham th-an -jtold prisoner that he had seen some young iibeD (three), who said.they were near Shar- Iland's old shop when the prisoner was oppo site DargavißVs, and they saw no man run ning away. He replied, "The man had got round the corner by that time." gin Worship cautioned Detective Jef frey to he very particular as to his statements, as it was of great importance that he should be strictly accurate. Prisoner said he remembered seeing young Fitts opposite the Q.O.E. door. Mr Broham remarked that the Q.C.E was opposite the end of the hoarding, and how was it that fitts did not see the man run away. Pri soner made no reply. Mr Broham asked him if he had not been romancing over the affair, when prisoner said No, I have told nothigg , bat-the* truth. When at prisoner's house, making arrangements with him to meet Mr Broham, he asked me if I thought there was any chance of his getting a reward. I told him I thought he might perhaps, The reward was not published then. He ar/ain appeared anxious about the reward. I told him to have patience, and wait to see how things turned out; there might be an inquest in the matter. He asked if he would have to give evidence, I replied most likely he would if an enquiry was held. He said he would wait two weeks, and then make an application for a reward. I again persuaded him again to be patient, and wait a little longer to see what turned up. On the 12th Detective Ternahan and I were standing at the allotment above McArthur and Shera's place when Ternahan caught sight of a bottle lying in the allotment. I got over the fence, and found two bottles, about six feet inside the fence, which I pro duce. One of them had some gravel inside, similar to that on the footpath, neither had cork in them, both had a little kerosine in them, and smelt strongly of it. I shewed the bottle to Mr Broham, and pointed out the place. I have since searched at all the places where bottles are sold. The bottles are in imitation of Bass's ale bottles. He found a number of the same kind of bottles in a crate on Mr Brown's premises, at the back of the house. On the morning of the -17th Mr Bartley, builder, brought the bundle of rags and papers, which he had found near the premises of Messrs Must and Co. I opened tbe bundle in the presence of Detective Ter nahan. It contained pieces of lining, and dress.,alsq a piece of print,.and the ha fof a nightgown. His Worship : How do you know it was a night gown ? I asked some women, your Worship, and they told me what it was. lam no judge myself. His Worship : I suppose detectives. are expected to know everything, even to a woman's nightdress. ..-.......: Detective Jeffrey here described the conten » of the bundle, which was in: the evidence of Mr Broham, and proceeded to say: I then' went to the spot where the bundle was found by a man named Christie, and who pointed out the spot in the presence of Mr Bartley in front of the Post-office, justi inside the hoarding. We met Mr Broham, j and wept backto -thej Police-office., I ap prehended the prisoner in Fort-street at half-past eleven that morning. I-asked him to come with me to the station, but he re fused to come. I then charged him with the offence, when he denied it, and said he could prove that he was taking a music-lesson at Mr Hunter's, near Drake-street. I then took him to the station.

I obtained a search warrant on the 17th and went with Mr Broham and Detective Ternaham to Mr Brown's house and made a search there. We found in the place at the back of the kitchen, a lamp with kerosine iftAtr (produced) without a wick. .'The5 'lamp is in the samestate as now, prisoner was not present. I also found the mehsure (produced) and the pieces of skirt other things before described, and which corres ponded with those, found in the bundle. \ "i^rbss-examined by Mr Rees.: I have seen • man named KiUion, who told me that he M# a'man run rouud the corner of Fbrfc •treet. He was at the Metropolitan .Hotel corner-* at the time. He told me that the bell rang directly after. . [ f, ' ! [Left sitting.] . .-? aA\ i
