THE CUT-THROAT CURATE.

A VICAR MURDERED IN BED,

(from our special correspondent.)

London, October sth

An extraordinary and apparently inexplic. able murder was committed at the quiet country village of Cretingham in Suffolk on Saturday night last, when the curate of the parish, a young man named Cooper, calmly and apparently without the least concern, entered the vicar's (Rev. William Meymott Farley's) bedroom, and in the presence of his wife deliberately cut the old man's throat from ear to ear.

For some time past the vicar, who was 73 years of age, had been in bad health, and about twelve months ago he engaged the curate mentioned to take entire charge of the parochial work. Mr Cooper lived at the vicarage with Mr and Mrs Farley, the only other inmates of the house being the groom and a maidservant- On Saturday Mr Farley kept his bed all day, and the curate also complained of being unwell, stating that he had been unable to sleep. There was nothing in his conduct, however, to arouse suspicion, and about ten o'clock at night he read prayer as usual. Two hours later, when the vicar and his wife had fallen asleep, the curabe knocked at the bed-room door. A ~ "I Want to See tho Vicar." Mrs Farley was aroused, and, in reply to her question, Mr Cooper said he wanted to see the vicar. The curate Was wearing only a dressing-gown, and lie opOtted the door with the intention of entering the room. Mrs Farley pushed him but, f and locked the door, but Mr Farley called dub to her, " Poor fellow ! let him in and see what he wants." The door was then 'opened. Tho curate came in, and walked round to the side of the bed where Mr Farley was lyirtg. Very few words passed between them, Mr Cooper simply saying, "What do you mean V" and the vicar laughing in reply. The curate was again ordered out by Mrs Farley, and he went, and the vidar then called out, "He has cut my throat." Directly afterwards the unfortunate clergy man, who was a very stout man, rolled heavily on to the floor, and there died within a few minutes, his throat having been cut from ear to ear. In 'the meantime Mr Cooper had gone into his own bedroom, which adjoined the vicar's, and was heard moaning and sighing. Mrs Farley's cries aroused tho groom, who got up and went for Dr. Jones, of Framlingham, without knowing what had actually happened. When he was away Mr Cooper dressed him self in his usual clerical attire, arid left the house. ..,'■•■ News of the tragedy reached the village policeman, and he took charge of the premises. About five o'clock in the morn ing the curate knocked at the front door, which was opened by the officer. He said that 1 he wanted to go and the policeman allowed him to do so, but, of course, took him into custody, and never lost sight of him afterwards. Later on he was" removed to ; Framlingham Police station. A

tfo Mat(ve %r 'the ASt. ~:_.!, So far as can be at presciib ascertained, the prisoner, had no motive "whatever for the crime. When questioned by the parish clerk on Sunday morning he said he first thought of doing it on the previous day. The "murdered clergyriian ■ had a grown-up family, one of his son's being a doctor in Loudon. Mr Cooper comes from Tun bridge Wells, but nothing is known of his family in this neighbourhood. He was not popular in the parish, and _there are rumours that he has shown insanity. The fact remains, however, that Mr Farley had lately advertised for another curate. Another Account. Another account conbains the fbllowing additional details: The victim of the traeedy is the Mev. William Meymott Far ley vicar of Cretingham, and the facts which have already come to light unhappily leave no doubb that he was..deliberately murdered by his curate. Parley, who was seventy-three years of age, has beCn for somo time suffering from in attack of paralysis, which has incapacitated him from doing anything but his , occasional duty at the church. About, twelve menths ago he engaged as the Bey. A- *" Gilbert-Cooper, who came from Bhr* wash Weaia, in. Sus S ex,,and was recom,, mended by the Ve'n. Archdeacon Groome Apartments were provided for him at the Vicarage, and he was received and treated a3?of the family.. the whole of the clencal-'d'utiesbf thepapsh, but does nbtseem tohavegained tbe.afTec- the parishioners He was credited with High Church proclivities, whereasi the S was an Evangelical clergyman. There does not, however, seem to have been any nuarrel or dispute between the vicar and the curate, and there was never reason to suppose that any ill-feeling existed between them- on Good Terms. On the contrary, the circumstances seem to show that very friendly relations existed bl'Slr Cooper and Mr and Mrs Farley On Saturday morning the.vicar, who had Luder the care ofDr. Jones, of JFram, Sam, was unable to leave his bed, and fccuSte also complainedof feeling.unwell, to a statement made .by Mrs Irlev she spent, the greater part of the Sing reading to her husband, the curate hS in "the dining-room, which is imnie- SffiJMlaW the Vicar's bedroom. Later had gone to step Mrs Parley joined Mr Cooper,'and, as ho complained of sleeplessness, she

'proriiised that slio would read to'liim, as slie had done to her husband until he fell asleep. Mr Cooper replied, "I heard you reading to the vicar, and it rather irritated me." It seems there had been a previous conversation about' the state of the curate's health, because Mrs Farley States that in the morning her husbahd advised him to Set an opiate. Mr Cooper and Mrs Farley had siipper together and afterwards the curate read the prayers as usual. A groom named Frank Bilrier, and a maidservant named Annie Whiteman, were the only other p'ersohs'in fhe house, and all went to bed between rime arid ten o'clock. Mrs Farley had had a small'bed moved into her husband's robrri, arid placed it near the foot of the bed, in order that she might' attend to him during'the night. Her rest had been broken .on previous riights, and she believes that she 'went to sleep 'lalmosb im mediately, a. "What Is That?" Mr Cooper had previously gone to his bed-roorri, which immediately adjoins, arid nothing was heard of him until about 12 o'clock, when Mr Farley called out, " What, is that?" Tins awakened Mrs Farley, arid she then heard what she describes as, a ''rattling noise" outside the bed-room d oor. She at first thought it Was the maid rattling \v\th "a.candlestick, and got up and went to the door, which was locked on the inside'as usual. She' Unlocked it,'arid upon opening the door saw the curate standing in his dressing-gown, and holding a lighted candle in his hand. He was perfectly quiet, but;deathly pale, arid she cried out, "Good gracious ! what do you want ?" He replied ''I warib to come in," arid tried to force his Way into 'the'bed'-room. With some diffi culty she prevented him, and, having succeeded in closing the door, she turned the key, exclaiming to her husband as she did so, " Why,"he is mad." Mr Cooper called out, " I want to come, in and see the vicar." Mr Farley replied, "Oh, poor fellow, open the door arid see what he wants." Mrs Farley accordingly opened the door again, and Mr Cooper \valked_ into tlie rpom. He made no re mark, But went'right into the reom round by the foot of the bed, past the crib on which Mrs Farley had been sleeping, arid then to the side of the vioar's bed. All th?s time he had the candlestick in his right band. Nothing was observed in his left, bub that he had a razor there could be rio doubt. He approached the bedside and quietly put out his JejEfc hand in the direc tion of the vicar's throat. "What do Ifou Mean?" Mr Farley " exclaimed, "'What do you mean? What do you mean ?" The curate laughed, turned round, and walked quietly out of. the room. Before he reached the door, Mr Farley exclaimed, in a feeble voice, " He's cut my throat." Mrs Farley at first believed that her husband Was in a delirium, arid, as she could see no blood, she replied, "Oh, nonsense." She, how ever, followed the curate to his room, and while going there she heard Mr Farley call "Frank," the coachrrian, twice byname. Sheweht up to Cooper, and in as firm a voice as she 'could command, said to ' him, " What have you gob in your hand ? Give ib to me." He replied, "I have got nothing," and even then she could hot see that he had any weapon. She then went back to her husband's room and found Mr Farley lying, on tho floor with blood rushing from his throat. Stricken with horror, she ran back to the curate's rdom and said to Cooper, "Come land help me. You don't know whab you have done." Cooper made no reply, and she ran Back to her husband and tried to staunch the blood. Mean while she des patched the groom for Dr. Jones, of Fram lingham, bub long beforo he arrived Mr Farley had expired. The Inquest. A new and unpleasant light was thrown upon this dreadful affair at the inquest by a'juryman named Juby, whose questions indicated that village gossip had been busy with the riairTos of Mv Cooper and Mrs Farley for some time past. Mrs F. admitted her husband had been jealous of Cooper, but not-latterly. She had always treated the curate as quite a lad. He was very boyish in some of his ways. She knew her character had been aspersed. People would talk. Mr Farley had never struck Cooper. He had tits of temper at times, but thoy soon passed off. Mr Farley never believed tho gossip about herself and Cooper. Witness indignantly denied having been guilty of 'any impropriety Whatever with Cooper. She used to tell her husband lint . out he. was .jealous. Cooper on one occasion took tho vicar by tho shoulders and told him he ought to behave better. She never kissed Cooper. Hslic had there Would have been<no harm .in it. . She was a motherly person. She "had objected to Cooper associating with other'females, because ib wasn't good for him. . ~, r ~ ■ .... At this point the prisoner, rising, with a flushed face, interjected, " I don't think you need talk of that matter, if I may be allowed to speak." Mrs Farley, who had nob apparently noticed his presence before, turned to "him with a startled air, and cry ing out, "'Oh ! poor boy, poor boy !" went off into strong hysterics. She was carried out kicking and screaming. The vicinage servant said Mrs Farley T usfed dceitsidrially to enter "the curate's room before he>gotup, but she never stayed there long. ■.■-, . ... ,■ , .„•.":;.;,., A verdict of "wilful murder," was re turned against Mr Cooper, who merely ob served, " lean only say ib wasn't wilful." MrsFarley itfastout, unromailtic, motherly person, and if appearances,go for anything, theaccount she gives of her relations with Cooper ' Should Be 'true. Mr Juby's ques tions'at the inquest rridst certainly'angered rather than alarmed her. For the village gossip she. expressed the profoundest con tempt. ."People Must talk," she more than orice said. .... Mr Farley was so stout that for some time he had been unable to conduct Divine service. Cooper, according to report, ( neither read nor preached well. He suf iered from'severe suristroke as a boy, arid Has ever sTrice'beeh thought "queer."

THE SCANDAL OF THE DAY.

WHAT 'COLONEL' HALLETT DID WITH MISS 'SELWYN'S MONEY.

FU R J T HE R t> IS CR E DIT AB L E

REVELATIONS.

(FROM OOR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)

London, October 5. In the face 'of the following authoritative statements, apparently emanating from MiSs'Selwyh'iferself, and published in ttie "P.M.G." 'of TVfdnday week (since whin tlifey Have beSh fn 'no : way * sa'tisf actbrily re futed), I fear there can Ke ho doubt that Colonel, HugKes-Hallett added designs on her money to his othei sins against his wife's step-daughter. Mr Stead Iβ very clear and specific in his assertions this time. Evidently he has no fear of ah action for libel. He says :— _ If will be remembered that when we first called attention to this disgraceful afFairAve -pointed out the double nature of the scandal, ft was first of all a parhcularly shameful case of seduction ; andih the'eebotfd place it was aggravated, by discreditable money SSctilns. The former, .charge has already been byus and in all essential particulars admitted by Colbn'el Hughes-Hallett. With to the latter statement, we areiiow_ita aposi tion to give fuller particulars, for which

we venture to bespeak the closest atten tion. Our statement under this head was, it will be remembered, that, not content with ruining the young lady, he had "obtained gossession of £5,000 of her money." To this olonel Hughes-Hallett's reply was: — " Miss Selwyn some, time ao-e asked me to try to get her better interest lor the sum of £5,000 than she was getting at that "time. She covenanted, by a deed now in my possession, to lend the money for five years ; but some weeks ago her solicitors suddenly called this money in, and in less than twenty-four hours the principal, with in terest up to date; was handed to my "solicitors for transferer!ce to hers." .

The latter part of this statement requires correction. It is untrue that Miss Selwyn's solicitor .requested the repayment of the money. The money—which had been lent, as will presently be seen, for five years, with an express provision tha,t it should not be called in " until the termination of the said five years "--was repaid by Colonel Hughes-Hallett, before any call on the young lady's part, but after it was known that the matter had been placed in the hands of an eminent criminal lawyer. These facts hardly bear«'ou6 Colonel Hughes-Hallett's contention that the re payment "of the money may be accepted as a satisfactory explanation of the whole matter.

» An investigation of what had happened to the £5,000 meanwhile does not tend to I'emove its unpleasant aspect from the transaction. Now, on tlurl7th of May, 1887, the fortune of Miss Setyyn amounted to the siim of £41,000, the greatest, part of which was in consols. Colonel Hughes- Hallett asked the young lady to lend him £5,000, that it might be placed "on mortgage on houses in the City of London." On the 17th.of May, 1887, Miss Selwynknew so little about the mode of realising consols that Colonel Hughes - Hallett in his ovfrn handwriting drafted a letter in pencil, for her to copy and sign and send to her bankers, requesting them to sell but £5?000 of her consols. The following is. the draft, which is in Colonel Hughes-Hallett's hand writing :—

(In pencil, in Coloriel Hughes-Hallett's handwriting.) "Gentlemen,—l shall feel obliged by your selling but £5,000 (five thousand pounds) of my consols, and placing the same when realised to my credit. Also by your kindly notifying to me when you have done so.—l am, yours faithfully, ." On this same 17th of May, 1887, Colonel Hughes-Hallett accompanied Miss Selwyn to'her bankers, and obtained possession of five notes of £1,000 each, the numbers of which have since been obtained, being— 80.660 I 80.661 . 80.662 }■ April 1, 1887. 80.663 i 80.664 J A deduction of this £5,000 was made by Colonel Hughes-Halletb from' the list of Miss Selwyn's securities, which he drew up. We give below a copy of the docu ment to which is appended, in pencil, the calculation of Colonel Hughes-Hallett. The following are the terms of this docu ment :— Miss Selwyn'a Fortune.— Cash Valde> September 15,1886. £27,787 Consols £27,935 £3,266 Reduced .. '.. ~ _ .. 3.242 £2,500 £2 10s per cent. 2,225 £5,700 4 per cent, preference .. „ 6,426 £825 ordinary 1,006 Cash in hand „ - ~ „ .. 207 £41,092 On mortgage on houses in City of London 5,000 (In Colonel Hughcs-llallott's writing) £36,092 The words—" On mortgage on houses in the Cityof London—£s,ooo" are inthehand wribing of Miss Selwyn, and indicate the said loan of £5,000 to Colonel Hughes-Hal lett to be invested in " mortgages on houses in the City of L'oridon." The pencil figures —£36,092—underneath the words "mort gages on houses in the City of London, £5,000 " are in the handwriting of Coloriel Huefhes-Hallett. We regret to say that from inquiries since made it appears that the sum of £5,000 ob tained from Miss Selwyn by Colonel Hughes- Ilallett was not invested in " Mortgages on house property in the City oj London." As the numbers of the five notes have been obtained, a portion of these notes have been traced, and appear to have been paid by Colonel Hughes-Hallett to money lenders from whom moneys had been pre viously obtained by him at trie usual usurious rate of interest. It was Mr Engcl, of Great Marlborough - street, to whom Colonel Hughes-Hallett paid one of the five £1,000 notes.

Although 'this young; lady's money was safely invested in cbnspls, Colonel Hughes llallett gave no security whatever, iioi , ap parently any receipt (for the cheque was nob made payable to liis order), to the young lady for the loan. Sheparted loilh £5,000 for which he (jave her ndthiny. But he took from her a document of which the following is a copy :—

I, Beatrice Eugenic Selwyn, Aldowrie> Inverness, N. 8., do hereby agree to lend to Francis Hughes-Hallett, of 188, Cromwell Road, S.W., the sum of five thousand pounds for the term of five years from this date, with interest at the rate of 4 J. per cent, per annum, the said interest to be paid every six months—namely, £112 10a on the 17th of May and on the ,17th'of November in eaph year, until the principal is paid off. And I further agree not to call in the said loan, or any part of it, until the termination of the said five years, and bind myself to accept the repayment of the entire principal of £5,000 before the termination of the said five years, provided all interest due up to the date of the payment of the said principal shall have been paid. Given under my hand and seal, the 17th of May, 1887. . Beatrice Eugenic Selwv.n;. Witnesses: ErnestG. Terry, Percy House, Great Port land-street. Henry Smith, 7, Sterwick Road, West Kensington. It is therefore conclusively demonstrated that the £5,000 so obtained by Colonel Hughes-Hallett from this young girl was obtained for five years - iviihout any security whatever, and at a time when Colonel Hughes-Hallett required it for the purpose of paying off money borrowed at usurious interest. Who, we should like to ask, would have advanced him a sum of £5,000 without security, except : he had obtained it from the poor girl whom lie had known from a child and whdiii he had ruined ? The transaction does riot end here, for Colonel Hughes-Hallett, knowing that this young lady possessed upwards of £41,000, arranged that they should make mutual wills in one another's favovr. The financial position of Colonel Hughes-Hallett, may be jJretty well judged by. tlie , history of the £5,000, and the, debts due to the money - lenders. fie knew that she .was possessed of upwards of £41,000, of which he also knew she had the absolute control and disposal. On the 30th July, 1887, Colonel Hughes-Hallett wrote a letter to this young lady with re ference to the will lie had made in her favour, of which tne following is a copy:— " While I think of it, I : meant,to liave given you the information before, but for got to do so—l waiit to tell .you about my policies of life insurance. I have left you, absolutely, all my real and personal estate. Amongst chis estate are certain policies of insurance on my life. They are necessarily embodied and included in the words { per sonal estate ;' but the .-will does , not state where these policies. I give you the list overleaf /which ,be surea'nd take great care of, So thafc on my:iieafch rriy solicitor,-Mi", .James, Williams, of:,■ Messrs. Williams and James, Norfolk House, Norfolk • street.

Strand, May know where to get them paid. F. C. 11. H. "July 30th, 1887," Amounts. & Reliance Life Office (1, Waterloo Place, PajlMalJ) „ .. 2,600 Guardian Life Office (Fleet - street, Strand, near Child's) 2,000 Norwich Union Office (Fleet-street, Strand) .. _ 500 Tdtal £5,100 The policies to which he calls such special attention may be worth, at the present time, at their surrender value, some £200 or £300. As he has two children of his own by Lady Selwyn, the stepmother of the girl he has ruined, it is somewhat singular that if the property, however small, were to pass to Miss Selwyn, Colonel Hughes-Hallett's two children by his first ■ marriage with Lady Selwyn were by that will disinherited. We may, in conclusion, further point out that by the will which he had arranged with Miss Selwyn that she should make in his favour she bequeathed him the w hole of her fortune, as against her own relations and as against her own child by him, as yet un born.

Such are the facts with regard to the financial part of this "parliamentary scandal." Colonel Hughes-Hallett, in a later statement than the one referred to above, says "it must be understood that if I have done anything wrong in regard to the sum of £5,000 so often mentioned, I am responsible to the criminal law of England." With the criminal law we here have noth ing to do. But public men are responsible as such to other courts than "the criminal law." And we have some confidence that the above-mentioned transactions with the money of the young lady he had ruined will not dispose public opinion in Colonel Hughes-Hallett's favour. Nor will they add to the honourable and gallant member's fitness for a place in the House of Com mons, which as in morals it should not be conspicuously worse than the world at large, so in pecuniary matters should be above suspicion.

NEWS FROM STANLEY

A private letter to Lieut. E. N. Taunt, United States Navy, from Swinburne, Stanley's agent and right-hand man at Kinchasa, Stanley Pool, Central Africa, bearing date early in September, says that Stanley has progressed 159 miles further up the Aruwini fiver since the "sending of the last despatches, and has thus pene trated further than any explorer has gone before. Two camps were built at the new halting placei These camps, how evci, appear to be unnecessary, as the natives do not seem to be disposed to attack the party. Stanley and his men, the letter says, are in good health and spirits. He had sent the scamer Florida back.to Stanley Pool for more stores and men.

The first race between the American cen treboard yacht Volunteer and the Scotch cutter-yacht Thistle took place on Sep tember 28th, over the inside course of the New York Yacht Club, which is \,o cross an imaginary line drawn from the judge's boat to buoy 18, off Owl's Head, Long Island, thence to and around buoy 10 (keeping outside of Fort Lafayetti), passing to the west and south of it, then to buoy BJ, passing south of it north of buoy 5, off Sandy Hook, to and around Sandy Hook lightship, turn ing it from north to east, and then return ing over the same course to westward of the home stake boat, which was anchored abreast of and to the east of buoy 15. The result was a most decisive victory for the American sloop in beating, reaching, and running with free sheets; the Volunteer outsailed the Thistle on the homo run, and beat her by 19mins. and 29secs. The total distance was 38 statute miles.

The second race was postponed from Sep tember 30th on account of high wind, fog, and rain, till the Ist of October. On that day the starting-gun was fired at 10.30, and the race was one of the finest ever seen on the coast. It was over tho outside course, twenty miles to windward and return. The Volunteer rushed across the finish line at 4hrs 23min 47secs and the Thistle at 4hra 35min 12sec, just two miles beaten in the twenty. The owner of the Scotch yacht took the defeat with perfect sangfroid, saying he came over for a jolly good fight and had got it; but his countrymen all over tho United States were somewhat cast down, as they had bet heavily on the Thistle. Telegrams from Scotland mention a keen feeling of disappointment there also, accompanied by a frank admission that their yacht was fairly beaten. They be lieve that if the race for tho America's Cup is again to be sailed, the Scotch yacht, to be successful, must adopt the centreboard in place of the keel. During , the winter a cutter between eighty and ninety feet long will be designed by G. D. Watson, the modeller of the Thistle, for RO3II, owner of the. auxiliary'steam yacht Golden Fleece. The contest will be renewed by this vessel next season. John Bell, the yachting expert of the "Glasgow Herald, "who came to America with the Thistle, says that a fifty-ton boat, called the Doris, will in all likelihood be the next Clyde champion.

Illness of the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince, now at Monrovia for the benefit of the climate, is reported grow ing worse. His trouble is obstinate laryngealcatarrh. The "London Chronicle's" Berlin correspondent, writing on October 13th, says that the Prince's state is pre carious* and that Dr. Mackenzie'streatment has failed. It is now admitted that he is suffering from cancer of the throat, and the case is similar to that which caused the death of General Grant. The Ger man physicians consider the Prince already a doomed man. The very severe caustics used have destroyed not only the tissue primarily affected, but the parts themselves. So severe has the treatment been that stime portions of the bone are now visible.

IRISH AFFAIRS.

The Mitchelstown Coroner's inquest resulted, on October 12, in a verdict of wilful murder against the policeman Browririgg, Sergeants Kirwan, Eider and Brennan, and Constables Gavan and Dorance. The, Coroner issued warrants for the arrest of the parties. The Inspector General of Constables" suspended execution of the warrants. Chamberlain addressed 4,500 persons in Ulster Hall, Belfast, On the T2th October. He "said he did not intend to submit Ulster to a Dublin parliament, because he objected to submitting Ulster's Orderly and regular life to the inventors of the: " plan of cam paign." A parliament in Dublin would be simply a Dublin American Tammany Hall transferred from New York. At the Tuam fair on October 18, thou sands of head of cattle and sheep were offered for sale at ruinous prices, but, despite the low figtircs, there were ho purchasers. .Large graziers declare that they cannot any longer, and must take'advantage of the bankruptcy daws. .... _~ ■ , Three tenants on the estate of Lord Clknricarde Svere evicted on October 20th. Patrick Campbell strenuously resisted the officels,, and during, the riitJlee his daughter Margaret was struck on the -head with a crowbar. Eight wohieri and tw.d men wete 'arretted... t A policemaij yarned Buckley resigned his place-rather, than! ipr/peoed With the work of eviction.
