Prisonor Ordered io Gr.ol to Await

Surrender.

The public intorcst felt in the charge of

Hrirder preferred against IV. 11. Lennox Maxwell, alias D'Aujruier, was evidenced oi July .'5 by tlio i.nn:o:iso crowd who assembled in Iho Resident Magistrate's. I'ourt to listen to tho proceedings. Tho j.oi-tionof tho room devoted to tho aecommo- Hition of the public was packed from floor ti ceiling, and amongst thoso present •were a number of womon. Since his 1 ist appearance, Maxwell had oncouraged h's hirsute growth, and now appoaved with a full but short board. Ho gazed with a nonchalant and indifferent air at tho pcoplo in tbo body of the Court, and iiid not appear at any time to take a very ileep interest in tho proceedings. His Worship, Mr H. G. Soth Smith, was on the bench. Mr H. Williamson conducted the prosecution, Mr W. J. Napior defended tho prisoner, whilo Superintendent Thorn- Fin roprcpented tho police, Mr Gamble, U.S. Consul, was also present.

Crown Proscoutor's Address.

Mr Hudson.Williamson opened tho case for Iho prosecution, lie Bnid tho jirisonor was brought before tlio Court under the Extradition Act, 1871, and an application was made to commit tho licensed to prison to await surrender under extradition. It \vn& necessary for tho prosecution to show that the crimo referred to was committed, Rnd that the man before the Court was tho jierpetrator. If the evidence pointed to lhat conclusion then His Worship would be inked to commit tlio prisoner, pending his mrronder to tho American authorities. Tho i:rime preferred was that of murder, which was tho first of tlio extradition crimes re ferred to in tho Extradition Treaty. Ac cording to that treaty, it wa^ provided lhat each covenanting country should deliver up persons charged with murder and iiss.iult with violence. Soction !) of tlio Act provided that the Commissioner should hear tho evidence in tho same manner ns if tho prisoner was on his trial for murder com mitted in England : and if it waa not suffi cient to sustain tho chnrgo, it was his duty to order tho rolcasa of tho prisoner. They would submit the warrant of tho Sheiill for the arrest of tho accused, and than would placo tho depoatioi)3 boforo tho Bench. These deposition showed that tho body of tdo murdered man was found in v trunk in tho Southern Hotel, St. Louis, State of JJis- B juri, and afforded proof that the body was lhat of tho deceased Preller. Tho discovery of the body was mado by tho chambermaid, Margaret Cuddy, who had tho trunk con ♦ -lining it removed to the sido walk by Tony Kreitag, porter. It was opened by Charles Hiogor, arid the body found stripped of tlotbinp, except a pair of linen drawers. Mr I'yan deposed to tho state of tho body when it reached tho morguo, whilo Sir J.uedeking, analytical chemist, had told them that tho lungs woro saturated with oh'.oroform. That a murder was committed waa established by these facts. Then tho question aro*o—Who was the murderer? and tho depositions of Noble, Hunt, Stith, P.rown, Cuddy, and Castlo would go to 6liow that prisoner was that man. The prisoner and Preller woro together about 3 p.m. on the Sunday on which the murder occurred, and it would appear from tho jividenco oi Katie Clark that Preller did not >il«op on his bed that night. Tho ovidonoa i.f an export identified tho writing in the trunk as being tho samo as that of Max ■well. As to how tho murder waa committed, they had tho evidence of Fernow, who sup plied Maxwell with four ounces of chloroform on the afternoon of tho day on which tho murder was committed. Evi denco was given to show that tho trunk in which tho body was fo md bolonped to Maxwell, while tho staterrjont of Allington, oaptasn of the waiters, throw some light on tho conduct of prisoner on the night of tho murder. Tho motive for the crimo ap peared to be of the most sordid kind, tho unly apparent reason being a desire for the possession of a -few hundred dollars which Preller had in his possession. Prellor appeared to have been the cashier, while the accused seemed.' to have vary little money. The identification of the prisoner was rendered complete by the discovery in lits possession of field-glasses and spectacles with the name of Aloe, optician, St. Louis, upon them, pencil, blotting book containing several blots of his signature, a diary sup plying the dates of his arrival at and departure from St. Louis and arrival at 'Frisco, a diploma, dressing-case, dose book, and shirt and flannel, etc., which had evidently been cut from a body. These, and also a quantity of cuffs and handker cbiefa.had the initials C.A.P. worked upon them. A portrait of Maxwell in his robes fia a medical studont would also assist to prove his identity, while a diamond ring found on tho accused's finger would be identified by Detective Traooy as having been purchased by the prisoner in St. Louis. He thought this formed a chain r>f circumstances sufficiently damning for His Worship to say whether or not the murderer was identical with tho man bofore him. Detective Tracey's Evidence. Detective Jas. Tracey, detective of tho Metropolitan Police.City of St. Louis, State of Missouri, deposed that ho had been stationed at St. Louis for IS years. Ho knew tho Southern Hotel thero. Ho was in St. Louis from tho 31st March to tho sth April, and knew of two persons named I'rollor and Maxwoll staying thoro then. Ho knew tho prisonor in tho dock as Walter IT. Lennox Maxwell, a lato guest nt tho Southern Hotel, St. Louis. He romombered a murder being discovered there. Tho duty of investigating tho case devolved upon him, and he attended tho inquest. Ho was acquainted with all the ■witnesses, and identified tho doeijxnents produced, including original warrant of tho Sheriff of St. Louis for Maxwell's arrest. (Signature verified.) (Warrant road.) The Depositions. Mr Hudson Williamson thon submitted the depositions, which included tho state ments of upwards of 20 witnesses. Continuation of Evidence. Dotec'ive Tracoy was thon recalled, and identified tho signature, verifying tho truth of tho depositions, and also tho seal of tho Court, certificates of tho Judge, clerk, &c. Tho towels produced woro iitnilar to thoso used in the Southern Hotel, St. Louis, and wore marked with the name of tho hotolkeepcv. Hs examined room 144 of the hotel, and found two volisea there Ono bore tho namo of Maxwell on a tag (produced), tbo addros3 being "Walter Lennox Maxwel', B.s. Cephalonia." He produced a portrait of prisoner with tho words, "With the complimonts of AY. Lennox Maxwell," written upon it. Wit nesses at the St. Louis inquest had eeon tho picture, and had acknowledged tho likonoss. (Mr Napior objoctod on the ground that this was not evidonco.) Messrs Johnston, Alling ton, Anno, and Stith had recognised the portrait as that of Maxwell. Detective Twohey deposed thatthearticles produced in Court and referred to in a previous witness's evidence, were found in the prisoner's possession at the time of his arrest. Mr Napier said he failed to ccc that any thing had boon shewn to prove that His Worship had jurisdiction over tho prisonor. Certain documents must be produced before His Worship had power to deal with the caBO. Ha quoted from " Best on Pre gumption " to show that nothing could be presumed in a question of extradition. Clark, who was the principal authority on extradion, saidthe Police Magistrate could not deal with a case unless the order-in- Council was produced, while nothing had been shewn to prove that any arrangement existed between England and America for the surrender of fugitive criminals. There fore he contended that His Worship could not deal with the case.

Mr Williamson submitted that the pro duction of the Order-in-Council was not necessary, and mentioned a recent case in Wellington as an authority. Hw Worship ruled that tho production Of the Order-in-Council was not necessary. The evidonce having been read over, the prisoner was warned in the usual way and asked if he had anything to say. Maxwell replied, in a slightly foreign accent, "I reserve my defence, sir; that is all." His Worship: Walter H Lennox Max well, —You now stand committed to the Mount Eden Goal to await a warrant from the Governor for your surrender. You must understand that you will not bo sur rendered for fifteen days, and in tho mean time, you have tho right of applying for a writ of habeas corput ■Counsel for tho prisonor, after consulta tion with his client, decided not to apply for writ of habeas corpwi.

TRAGEDY AT OAMARU.

An Insane y.over Mimlors a Young Girl-

A ri:Ai:i'ui, tragedy took placo at Herbert, neir Oamarn, on Sunday night, Juno 27. Henry A. White, n youth of 20 years, shot Ada l.'a Un-son, nged 11 years, with ;i revolver, and thon afterwards shot

himself. Death was almost instantaneous ill bath eases. White was the son of a store keeper at Herbert, and Ada Patterson was tho daughter of Mr Charles Patterson, a hotelkoepor, residing at tho samo placo. The deed was committed at the hotel. Tho tragedy wns tho result of joalouay on tho part of White, who wns ratheroccentric in his habits, and who had threatened to shoot tho yirl on Saturday last. Tho act was evidently premeditated, ns Whito went into tlio kitchen armod with a five -barrelled revolver fully loaded. The girl roplied to his threat, " If you shoot mo you would be hanged for it." To this ho said ho would also shoot himself. Tho affair has thrown quite a gloom over the township. The revolvor was purchased in Herbert last week. Since it cameintoWhite'spossession ho had been practising with it at telegraph posts. On Saturday he nearly shot a resi dent who was trying to pick ono of _ the bullets out of a telegraph post. White's eccentricity went the length of wearing his hair long, and tying it with ribbons. An inquost was held at Herbert, when the father of the young man stated in evidence that his son had not been right since he had had rhoumatic fevor some years ago. Evidonco was also given to show that Whito had frequently threatened the girl, who always appeared to imagino that ho was joking. A letter, written by White tho day previous to tho tragedy, with regard to tho young girl, addrossod to Mrs .James Patterson, was as follows :—

"Herbert, Juno 20th 18S5. Tho last wishes of mo, Henry A. White, regarding the disposal of my elVocts. I desire that £100 bo given to tho family of James Patter son, Herbert, and .CIOO to Alexander Gillies, undo to tho family. Although this is not a legal will, I expect it to bo carried out as desired. Thcro will be somo monoy over tho £'200, but that can go to whoever wants it. Thcso wishes aro written under tho impression that must probably I shall very soon shoot Ada Patterson and thon myself. Thoro is no vory groat need that I should explain mat/tors, otc. Lot it sullieo for the present to know that it is simply through love and regard for tho girl that 1 should think of ending hor life hero. I believe that knowing her as 1 think I do she would load an unhappy life without mo. [Hero was n lot of writing which had been crossed out.] Suppose, then, she had never boon mine [Hero ngain a fow lines had been written, which had been crossed out.] Tho money is lodged in tho Bank of New Zealand. Tho receipt is in the littlo leather box in the bedroom.—tiENiiv A. Wuitu.

"Mo3t likely also, undo Alexander will understand my nction. Ada is of too fjeuerons and kind a nature, and too im pulsive and sympathetic and unsolfish, and too eeusiblo to tlio highest emotion to bo anything but unlmj py in this world, I have left a copy of something liko this for Charles White. Ask leave to bo sent in ; also to Mrs Patterson.".

The jury returned a verdict that the deed was committed whilo Whito wns suffering from temporary insanity.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

In dealiEg with the South Sea Bervico. the report mentions: " From particu ars which havo been compiled, it would appear that in 1883 tho exports from New Zealand to tho South bea Islanda amounted to £115.969, of which sum Auckland contributed £111,067. The imports amounted to £81,260. of which £75,841 were re coived at Auckland." .... ... On the aubjoot of Imperial federation, the Committeo state: "In last quarter's report it waa stated that the consideration of this im portant question would be deferred until it had been developed into such aform that tho bearing of the commercial aspect could bo judged with greater certainty than at that time. Sinco then your Committee hare received several printed sheets of a petition of the London Chambor of Commerce addressed to Her Majesty's Secretary of Stato for the Colonies. Briefly summarised, the potition evidences the importance of the commercial relations botween tho colonies and tho mothor country, by appending reports of imports, exports, and navigation for tho year 1883. Tho return discloses that tho exports to tho United Kingdom from tho dependencies of tho Briiißh Kropire amountod to £95.777,800. whilst tho im ports from tho United Kingdom amount to £103,618,000. Of this vast volume of traoo the Australasian colonies contributed as Imports from tho Unitod Kingdom, £32,231,000, and exports to United Kingdom, £27.113,000. makins* a grand total of £59,617,000 : whilst the British shipping onterod into and clearod from the colonies ropresenta tonnago amounting to 10 527 000 tone. Tho potition aleo onumoratos tbo various causes which would mako a federal union desirable and it will now bo for tho Chamber to. give Bomc expreeslon of their opinion upon this important nubject, Tho Committeo recommend that a reply bo sont to the London Chamber expressing approval of tho objects of tho Imperial Federation Lcaguo.'
