THE HEMSLEY MURDER. HUDSON BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES Robert Hudson, who is charged with mur- dering his wife and child, who were found buried on a moor, was brought befora Lord Feversham at Helmsley Police-court on Friday morning. The orowd fought their way to ob- tain admission to the court, which was crowded. PIisoner appeared quite calm, and coolly watched the proceedings. Superintendent Silvers-ides, having briefly stated the charge, said he was not in a posi- tion to go into the case at all that day, and, therefore, after taking the evidence of Inspec- tor Dennis, he would ask for Hudson's remand for eight days to York Castle. Inspector Dennis said he saw the accused on Wednesday evening at King's Heath Police- station, Birmingham, and identified him as the man he had seen at Helmsley betwten May 21 and June 8. On receiving him into custody, he, in company with Superintendent S'lver sides, conveyed him to Mai ton. where he was 'barged with murdering his wife, Kate Hudson, and his son. Heseltine Hudson. Pri- soner made no reply to the charge. Lord Feversham asked prisoner if he had any- thing to say why he should not be remanded, and Hudson replied, "No, my lord," a ner- vous twitching of fingers at this moment being the only c-ign of agitation displayed. Prisoner was accordingly remanded until the 29th inst. On being removed from the police-court, the prisoner was loudlIy hooted and reviled with opprobrious epithets by a large crowd outeide the building, Friday being market, day, and there was a similar demonstration when he left in custody by train for York. The search for the spade, with which the grave is supposed to have been dug, has up to the present been without result. HUDSON'S STEPMOTHER INTER- VIEWED. The stepmother of Hudson, who has been in- terviewed, states that Hudson in all his letters home spoke of the good wife he had, but when he wrote saying that Kitty had gone off with another man they could only believe it until his sister's visit showed that all he had said was false. The mother added that Robert was always a srood, steady-going lad, and that there had never be^n in his behaviour anything which could make them suspect him capable of suih a terrible crime. As late as Sunday morning he wrote that he had been unable to find Kitty, and they thought that the worry caused by his wife's disappearance would make him ill. He could not be short of money, and, concluded the stepmother, "even Mrs. Brown (the mur- dered woman's mother) "could not but say tl.at Robert bad never appeared to her other than as an upright and good man towards his wife." LETTERS FROM HUDSON. Appended are two letters which were written by Hudson to his father and mother after the disappearance of his wife and child and his departure from Helmsley. The murder is supposed to have taken place on Saturday, the 8th inst. The first of the letters was apparently written two days later from Nottingham, and the second one on the following Saturday, the 15th, from Coventry. The letters, both of which are written in pencil, are as follow — The Royal, Market-street, Nottingham. June 1J. 16S5. Dear Ma and Pa.— Doubt you will be surprised at this ldtfr, but it contains bad news. My below. 1 wife has left me—eloped and, vVorse than th.tt, she has taken the child with her. She left me a note telling me she could not live with me. We had left Scarborough, and went to stay a bit at He-lmsCey,'and we're to have left there on Saturday for my aunt's, but when I was there she had gone and left me a note. I have no idea where she has gone, but I intend to find her if I spend every penny I have. I want my son (he is just a year old to-day). I have given everything up for the search—even my situation; also furniture of my house to the auctioneer to sell. I cannot find her in Nottingham, so I am going to Manchester, where I have my suspicions. I will write to you and let you know how I a.m going on, and if you want mv address you can get it through the "Sheffield Weekly Telegraph." Excuse more just now.-Accept my love from your broken-hearted son, ROBERT HESELTINE HUDSON. Nottingham. P.S.—I have sent to Helmsley to have my clothes sent to you for to keep till I come. 16-6-95. R. H. H. Dear Ma and Pa,— I don't know what you would think of my last letter, but I wrote it i,1\ a hurry. Since then I have hI'd time to cool down a bit.; but, ad I told you, Kitty left me and took baby also, and I have still found nothing out about them. We were staying at Mr. Holmes's, at Helmsley, for a day or two, then intending going down to my aunt's on Saturday, June 9. We drove to Gilling for a drive. While there Kitty persuaded me to come back by myself and tell Mrs. Holmes that we had got to my aunt's, and thought we would flop. Kitty was to wait till I returned. Well, when I got back from Helmsley ready to go to my Aunt Kitty I was informed had left by an early train, but left a note for me which said she was leaving me for ever. and that it would be no use me trying to find her. 1 in- quired of the station-ma*tci* if lie knew where he booked her to, and he said Nottingham, so I went there post-ha^te, but could do nothing, so I am at a stand si ill. Now, I do not know what to do. What would you el(.? I am staying here a short time, it being a nice place. I have advertised my address to her 111 a paper that I know she takes. Write by return, as I should like to know what you think.—From your loving son, R. H. HUDSON. Address your letter to R. H. Hudson, care of George Coombe, No. 2, Market-street, Coventry. THE INQUEST. The inquest on the bodies of Kate Hudson acd; her child, who were found buried on Roper Moor, near Helhnsley, was resumed on Monday.—Alary Holmes, at whose house the Hudsons lodged, said the couple appeared to live together on good terms. On June 3, how- ever, witness believed an altercation took plai° between the deceased and her husband, b' 1 of whom left the house with their child. When Hudteon returned lie stated he had been with his wife and child to Hovingham.- Edward Trentham, ironmonger, of Helmsley, identified1 the spade, which lie stated the pri- soner Hudson purchased at his shop at the end of May or the beginning of June. Reginald Richardsons, fami servant, employed near Roper Moor, deposed that on the 15th inst. he noticed a gentleman answering the prisoner's appearance pass with a bicycle, tied to which was a spade. Subsequently, the same individual returned, but this time with- out the spade.—Barker Tyerman, labourer, Helmsley, stated that on the 6th inst. he noticed a. recently-excavated hole on the inoor, three feet lcng by three feet and a half wide, and about five feet deep. The place was about twelve yards from the road, butt hidden therefrom by a couple of fir trees. Hearing, subsequently, that Mrs. Hudson and the baby were missing, he remembered this place, which. with a little search was disclosed as the burial- ,d I)air place of the murdered pair.—Christian Robson, farmer, spoke to'meeting, on the road from Heimsl'ey to Roper, on the 8th inst., a man, and woman, and child. The woman, who was attired in a white blouse with blue strings, and had on a black hat, was sitting with the baby on her knee, and the man was standing bv.-Furth.er evidence having been given as to the finding of the bodies and the wounds thereon, which in the case of the woman, in- cluded knife and revolver wounds, death being due in each case to the throat being cut, the coroner summed up. After five minutes' deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Robert Heseltine Hudson, intimating that the verdict was unanimous.

Three young men, named James Lock, James Flynn, and J. Oalla "han, were on Tuesday brought before the Swansea magistrates, charged with robbing Jeremiah Sullivan of a, sirm of 4d. by mea.ns of violence on the Canal Bank- The case was adjourned.

Henry Barneby, of Breden- bury Court, and of Long-worth, Herefordshire. At the meeting of the gas and water com- mittee of the Barry District Council on Fri- day afternoon, Mr. E. W. Waite, the assis- tant wa.ter engineer, reported that the long- continued dry weather had not affected the level of the water in the council's well at Biglis. and that the water .^upply of the dis- trict, therefore, continued entirely satisfactory. On Saturday afternoon St. Andrew's Churcih Band of Hope, Cardiff, by kind per- mission of Mr. Davies, had a pic-nic at Wedal I arm. The children, numbering about 250, and accompanied by tdioir superinten- dent (Mr. Brett) and otiher workers, marched from Cathay8 National School in procession., returning at eight o'clock after a most enjoyable outing.

The bride was given away by her father. At Crickhowell Oounty-court on Thursday his Honour Judge Owen, en taking his teat, said it was with feelings of deep regret he had to refer to the death of Mr. G. Sydney Davies, the registrar for many years of that court, and he took that opportunity of con- .tradtatlng a report wfliich lie saw in a local paper the othe^ day that he had offered the registranship to anotlher solicitor. It TTMC entirely without foundation, a.nd Mr. Da.vies'» son had been appointed registrar. At a special meeting of the local managers of the LIaneIIy Intermediate and Technical College, it was reported that Mr. A. B. Wel- ford. B.A-, Cambridge, had been temporarily apixnnted one of the masters in the place of Mr. Oliver, M.A., who had resigned on account of ill-health.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge, but guilty to one of losing by neglect his equipment, clothing, and regimental iieces- saries.—'Hhe Court found the prisoner guilty, and sentence will be promulgated in due course. The annual meeting of the Cardiff Aid Com- mittee was held on Monday afternoon at the Park Hotel, Mr. Louis Tylor occupying the chair. The usual report and financial state- ment were read and adopted. It appears that during the past year 236 cases, affecting the welfare of 658 children, were dealt with by the Cardiff branch. In .'seventeen cases it was found necessary to prosecute, a.nd a conviction was obtained in each instance, Thanks to a generous donation of £ 100 by Miss Marian Thompson, there is a credit balance of JE24 odd. The efforts of the lady collectors have been increasingly successful, and their unselfish work merits the highest esteem. An extraordinary miracle was reported in Wigaji on Thursday in connection with the well of St. Winifrede, Holywell. A girl named Catherine Long, aged fourteen, of Peel Hall Dairy, Wellington-street, Wigan, has b-en dumb for a period of three years, and during the time she has been under the care of several medical men. Upon the persuasion of friends she was taken to the well. and it is said that after having been immersed twice she re gained her power of speech, and can now speak as well as previous to her affliction. She will remain, at the convent until the festival of St. Winifrede is over.

In the Queen's Bench on Monday applica- tion was made by Mr. John O'Connor for a rule nisi to order Mr. W. Stead, editor of the "Review of Reviews," together with the printer and publisher, to t-how cause why they should not be committed for contempt of the High Court, contained in an article relating to Jabez Balfour and certain other defendants of the Liberator proseclltion.-A rule was granted. and Monday next fixed for the appearance 01 Mr. Stead and his colleagues. At the London Bankruptcy Court on Mon- day a summary and observations were issued under the failure of William O'Brien, late M.P. for Cork City. The bankrupt states that his income, which has been derived from literary work, has averaged JB250 a. yaar, and returns his liabilities at £ 8,075.

Grevy by traffick- ing with the decorations of the Legion d'Honneur, her principal coadjutors being M. Wilson and General Caffaret, has been expelled from Belgium.

——— A CARDIFF SLANDER CASE. In the Nisi Prius Court of the Glamorgan- shire Assizes at Swansea on. Tuesday (before Mr. Justice Lawrance) the case of Harris vt Evan Lewis and another was heard. This was an action for damages for alleged slr-nder, in which the plaintiff was Mrs. Margaret. Harris, a widow, carrying on business at Car- diff, and the defendants, Evan Lewis and his wife, Mary Ann Lewis, of Porthcawl. Th« slander was alleged to have been uttered by Mary Ann Lewis on the 9th of January last. Mr. Lewis appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. S. T. Evans, M.P., defended.—In his opening statement Mr. Lewis said plaintiff's object was not so much to recover damages as to clear her character in public. The case was tht more painful from the fact that the parties were related, the plaintiff's husband having been the brother of the female defendant. In Novem- ber, 1893, plaintiff's husband died, and oil that occasion the female defendant came to plaintiff's house at Cardiff, and a conversation there took place in reference to a parcel of flannel which had been wrongly delivered to plaintiff's address. Some time afterwards (in January of this year), plaintiff's daughter went to defendant's residence at Porthcawl, and whilst there the female defendant told her she would "put her mother (meaning plaintiff) in jail for three weeks for stealing flannel.Mr. S. T. Evans: We have n ver made any such accusation, and we do not make it now. —Mr. Lewis That is the first intimation of a public character that has been made.—Upon this the learned judge and counsel on either side retired with a veiw to a settlement.—On returning into court Mr. S. T. Evans said that, with the assistance of his lordship, they had conic tt terms, whereby a juror would be withdrawn There was no accusation against the inal. defendant, who had merely been joined as a person who might be liable for anything hi wife may have said. As to the femile, she ha.. never used the words, or made any accusation, and she made no accusation now.—His Lord ship A happy termination to a family dispute -A juror was withdrawn, and the case car-io to an end.

On Tuesday a labourer named Walsh, residing at 22, Janet-street, East Moors, Cardiff, while. at work on the new office,, now in exiur-e. of construction at the Pier-head. Cardiff, fell from a ladder and fractured his arm. He was sub- sequently attended to by the house-surgeon at the Cardiff Infirmary.
