LAUNDRUSI LOVE AFFAIR, Before Judge Lumley Smith, at the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday, Marie Dnbock, 53, an ironer, of Grea.t Castle-street, Long Acre, pleaded not guilty of publishing a defamatory libel concerning Louise De- baisiense. Mr Lister Drummond defended. Mr Bickmare, for the prosecution, said that both the complainant and the defendant were employed at a laundry in Tottenham Gate, Tottenham Court-road, and Mdllc. Debaisieuse was engaged to be married to a. young man named Christopher Deggon, who was a waiter at the Russell Hotel. They were to have been married on Christmas Day. and the furniture had been bought. In December, however, Deggon refused to see the young lady, or to answer her letters. She sent her father to see him and to the father Deggon showed the letter which was the subject of this charge and which defamed the young lady's character in a scandalous manner. The letter was enclosed in an envelope which the defendant had asked a young woman at the laundry to address. The defendant denied all knowledge of the letter. She admitted having asked a young woman to address an envelope, but said that she did so on behalf of another young- woman in the laundry. The jury found the accused not guilty and she was discharged.

Ho was conveyed to Cardiff Infirmary, where he died from shock consequent upon the injuriee.

MR LLOYD GEORGE Two-House Achievement VICTORY ASSUREn FREE TRAOE ABSOLUTELY SAfE Shipping and Ti opiates LESSONS OF THE CONTEST. Mr LloydtjeorgeogTbxrradaypaad a.visifcto tbenMa-kjet town of Llangefni, mfhelaleof Anglesey, and in a. specially erected marquee, crowded with about 4,000 people, spoke on behalf of the candidatoreof Mr EDis GrifSfo.

Discussing Use effect of Ptrtection upon agripplture, the Chancel lor instaneed thecase of IJenmark, the most flourishing-agricnttntal country in the worid, which, rather than have Protection for agricuttm-e, had chosen to accept the assistance of the Gmwrmuent in1 another way as being mease likeIy-to benefit the eonununity as a whole. Likewise it was pro- posed to set aside under theJBudget hundreds of thoosarnds to-do foriiiis eourrtry witat had "hrou^at such a targe nueasuze of prosperityto Denmark. (Cheers.) The right horu gentleman went on to categorically refute statements which were being circulated that agricul- tural land and railway land were to be taxed, and that it. was intended to abolish the Agricultural Ratings Act, Referring to the elections the right hon. gentle- man dropped the Welsh language and spoke a few sentences in English, He said; It is very important that you should have not merely a. majority, but a great majority. They were using this election in the nature of a referen- dum, and they will not merely count the num- ber of seats won, but the number of heads as well. They do not count what is in the heads. (Mucblaughter.) In as much as they are reckon- ing up the number it is of the greatest import- ance that we should swell the majority here. (A Voice Five thousand," and cheers). Yes, that is it; that will do, if you do that you will be making a great contribution to the sum total of the victory, for we are going to win a victory. We want to feel that there is real "weight behind it—a. real hydraulic power to lift -all these great measures above the highest power of the Bouse of Lords. We want weight t^ Kf-k it up, and five thousand from Anglesey will help to lift Di8esta.blist:ntabov.ethe heads of the Lords. (Cheers.) Groat Force Wanted, T beheve it will Irft a f?ood Land Bill above the Lords the Budget will certainly be lifted above'the Lords. (Loud cheers.) We want a great force behind all the great measures, and we are getting it. The-majority up to the pre- sent of votes is more remarkable even,than the majority of seats. Then, again resorting to-the vernacular, the Chancellor said We have lcet one seat in Wales, but the majority was only eight. It shows the importance of securing every~vote throughout Wales. We should like to see Wales without, a single absentee voter. (Cheers..) Two-House Speech. In the evening Mr Uoyd George went amongst his old constituents at Bangor, apart of the Carnarvon Boroughs, for which he is again the Liberal candidate. Here there was arranged a two-house assemblage for him. The first audience gathered in thePenrbyn Rall early in the evening on the understanding that after an hour and a half they would take their departureand make roam for a fresh crewd of listeners. On entering the pacfced boilding Mr Lloyd George was greeted, -as*usual, with tumultuous enthusiasm. Acknowledging another birthday gift (a set of gold studs), presented by the Liberal women of Bangor, he remarked that the service.-of the people was not always a poet of ease. Yon met with a good deal of abuse, insult, and attack in every shape and fonrvand he did not think any man would choose it as a career if he wanted to lead a life of ease. I feel," he went on, very confiden.tabout the result in the Carnarvon Boroughs. (Cheers.) I am quite confident about the result throughout the country. (Cheers.) After all we need hardly lbereminded here that the standard of 1906was quite an abnormal one, and that under no possible conditans could we expect to keep -quite up to the standard. I felt that the moment after the victory. In fact, all those who really watched the course of events felt that there was a certain Weakness even in the enocmous majority, because everything by comparsion with the majority wotrid appear to be a defeat. If you think of all the great struggles in this country, a victory on either side has not approached anything Eke one half themajority of 1906, and thereforethestandards that we ought to be judged by arc rather those of 1885 and the subsequent TJnicmistvietories of 1886 and 1900, and judged bythatstandacd you will find that we shall have a. very goodj-worktng majority. 01 Free Trade Not Obsolete. There are two or three observations I should like to make upon the contests so far. There is no criticism our opponents repeat more often about Free Trade than that it represents a set of obsolete ideas—something which we ought to have discarded long ago something which represented a stage in the development of our trade and commerce, but a stage which long ago WIe ought to havepassed and thatwe ought to have progressed to something greater and nobler, which means, of course, the taxation of the bread of the people. Well, now, the most remarkable thing about this election is that the most progresave communities have voted for Free Trade. (Cheers.) Take Man- chester. which is certainly a very remarkable illustration of what can be done by enterpris- ing, energetic people in the face of difficulties. There in Manchester they were undoubtedly suffering from a variety of causes. Their trade was imperilled, and almost the commercial existence of that great crtywas menaced by a variety of causes, amongst which was high railway rates and a number of other can&o« What did the people of Manchester do ? There were men there who said, It is due to foreign competition." Buttbey did not sit down and moan about foreign competition. They did not invite the rest of the country to put up the prices of cotton fabrics merely as a kind of subsidy to the cotton trade of Lanca- shire. They set about constructing the great canal which is one of the moet marvellous enter- prises of modern times, and in the face of every discouragement, in the face of every dis- heartening circumstance, they went on until they had completed it. And not only did they restore the prestige of Manchester's industry. trade, and commerce-they surpassed the most brilliant records of their past history in that respect. That enterprising and progressive community, which shows that it is open to new ideas, is a community which has stood by Free Trade with almost complete unanimity in the elections of the past few days. (Cheers.) '» Witsh Tmptates. Come again to oar own country. Take the tinplate trade of South Wales—another strik- ing and altogether sensational illustration of I what can be done by people who take their courage in both hands, and instead of sitting down and mourning and ,sucking their thumbs and calling out for Tariff Reform and Protec- tion fought their own battle with their own brains. What happened there ? A real blow was undoubtedly delivered at the tinplate in- dustry of Sooth Wales by the Dingley Tariff. We used to sell millions of pounds' worth every year of tinplates from South Wales to America. Then came the Dingley Tariff of 50 to 60 per cent., directed, no doubt, at the Welsh tmpla-te industry. What did they do ? They set about improving their machi- nery they set about reconstructing their business; 'they imported new scien- tific methods, and in the course of a few years they not merely recovered lost ground they advanced to a position they had never held before, and at the present moment the tinplate industry of South Wales is far and away the most prosperous in the whole world. Not only does it compare favourably ifrith similar industries in other parts of the world, it is on a firmer foundation than it ever was, more secure, more unassail- able, that is purely and simply because they cast themselves upon their own resources instead of whining and whimpering and clamouring for subsidies and protection from the State and those who tell you that Free Trade represents an obsolete idea—something it is time for us to discard, something that places us in a position of being mere defenders of an institution which is crumbling to ruin- refer them to two ot the most progressive commercial aod .industrial communities in this land, communities which have showed, themselves more open to-newideas thanahnost any others, and which have stood by JEreeqj /fraritewaad by increased majorities.

Most of the great seaports of the United .Kingdom, which mmna the greatest seaports in the world, have declared for Free Trade. (Chaers.) Moat of them, Glasgow, Newcastle, Hull, Cardiff, and Grimsby. (Cheers.) Then they say, what about London ? Well, London has been the j greatest surprise to the party managers on both ) sides. 1 know it surprised side by return- ing more Liberal members than we ever hoped for, and I am perfectly certain that i*. staggered the other side. They were bragging fu.r: ra-jaaths that when the electron came ther*> would not be half a dozen members retocaed for London on the Liberal side. I want you to analyse London a little more closely. Those parts of London which are associated with Rhipping I have in the main gone Lberal. You have parts where men simply go there to consume. (Laughter.) Consumption is their soteindustary. (More laughter.) 1 mean those in the great townhouses of the West Bod. They have gone against us they always do. But you come i to places where people live on shipping, j The two Hams, where you hare dock labourers — Poplar and Limehorae—(cheers and laughter)—where I had a pleasant little excrasionsome€ime ago—(more laughter) —and ateo Rothcrhithe--those places on the river dependent upon the shipping and trade of the Port of London, they have gone Liberal, so that the Shipping interests of the greatest seaports in the world—Southampton is another —have gone almost solid for Free Trade. (Cheers.) Mr Austen Chamberlain says what about Birmingham ? (Oh, oh.) The real answer about Birmingham is onelampcr- fectly certain he will not resent. I do not believe that Birmingham voted either Free Trade or Protectionist. Birmingham sanply stood by its greatest citizen, and on the whole one is not disposed to quarrel with the people of Birmingham. They simply stood by Mr Joseph Chamberlain. I do not believe that it had anything to do with the great controver- sies of the hour. 1 am certain that Birming- ham is as democratic as ever at heart. I am confident that Birmingham has no better opinion of the House of Lords now than when Mr John Bright and Mr Joseph Chamberlain, led them against the Howe of Lords. Mr Austen Chamberlain, in reply to the Prime Minister, said the latter must not be so certain that Tarff Reform could not be car- ried in this Parliament. Well, whatever the figures may be. Idonot believe tliat any Par- liament would venture to impose a tariff which would injure our great and stapte in- dustries in the teeth of the opposition of the representatives of all these gr^at industries. You have cotton, wool, shipping you have iron and steel; most of the great engineer- ing centres have gone the same way, so that the industries which have made Britain famous, the industries everywhere practically leading the woriod—those have declared for the principleof freedom, and I do not believe any Parliament would dare to impose duties and burdens upon our great industries in the teeth of theirsolid opposition. (Cheers.) That is why I believe that the Prime Minister was absolutely justified in his confidence that whatever may be-all in the course of the next few days Tariff Reform is what they call" off for the moment. (Loud cheers.) In conclusion he referred to the elections as a battle which, in my judgment, with unflinch- ing courage on the part of the people, wiU end only in one thing-a triumph for the liberties of the people such as wehave never seen. (Loud cheers.) At the second meeting Mr Lloyd George spoke in both English and Welshan-thepro. •pasals .of the Budget.

MYSTERY OF AN ALIUS. How Twin Brothers Evaded the Police. A shop-lifter-for years had been constantly arrested, but always proved an alibi, says the Daily Telegraph" Paris correspondent. The police were baffled, and shopkeepers continued to be robbed. A grocer, who was a. long-suffering victim, put irp a burglar alarm, with a detonator in his shop. A violent explosioii occurred, and ] the grocer came with the police, and caught a ] woman and two men red-handed, laden with two fowls, two pigeons, and a bottle of rum. J The system of the thief's alibi was explained. There were two-shop-lifters, twin brothers, and so exactly alike that one could hardly be told from UM othec, when side by side. For years they had played a comedy of errors successfully. Neither had ever been caught in the act, and the tjwo had never oper- ated in the same place together. Their hunting in a couple at the.grocer's was their undoing. The police have now caught 1 them both in the act, and have seized the opportunity to examine their persons closely. The result is that they will henceforth be able to didstinguish one brother, William, from the other, Peter, by a strawberry marie on the former's chest. When the twin thieves come-out of gaol and begin operations again, the police will remem- ber the strawberry mark and the alibis. Peter will-help William, or vice-versa, no more.

81R WILLIAM CROSSMAN. The members of the Cardiff -Beard of GtJar. dians at a meeting held to-day heartily con- gratulated Sir William Crossman on his appointment as manager of the Labour Ex- change at Cardiff. The Chairman (Mr O. H. Jones), the Rev. Canon Buckley, Mr William Jones, Mr J. R. Hewellyn, and Mr Sankey all paid tribute to Sir William's useful worl^ not only on the Board, but in the city. In reply Sir William thanked the Board for their congratulations, and said he thought the Labour Exchange, when it had gained the I confidence of employer and employed, would., be of .great service to the country.

Gutter Run Down. PILOT AND ASSISTANT LOST. Information rea-hed Barry Pier Head on Thursday morning of a disaster in the Channel to the Newport and Barry pilot cutter No. 5 Excelsior, belonging to Mr John Thompson, Waterloo House, Newport, and that Mr Thompson and his apprentice, Gomer Howell, Newport, were drowned, but that J. Alpine, another hand, residing at Marion- street, Newport, had been saved. Thomp- son was in Newport on Wednesday, and recorded his vote in the Parliamentary election. The cutter left Barry on Wednesday night and proceeded down Channel. When near Breaksea Point, below Barry, the. disaster occurred. At the time Thompson, and his ap- prentice Howell were on deck, but Alpine was in his bunk. A ship ran into the cutter and Alpine just had time to climb up the side of the Pai-agon, which was passing at the time. The cutter, with Thompson and young Howell, are said to have sunk within a minute of the collision. The Paragon hung about for some time in the hope of picking up Thompson and the apprentice, but no trace of them could be seen, and up to a late hour last night their bodie3 had not been recovered. The Paragon proceeded to Newport. Alpine, however, was too ill to be seen during the day. Thompson leaves a widow, with two sons and three daughters. The sons are Messrs Reginald and Augustus Thompson, of Bath and Chester, respectively, and the three daughters are at home. Mr William Thompson, Clytharsquare, a representative of the pilots on the Newport Pilotage Commission^ is a. brother of the de- ceased. Howell, theapprentice, was the son of Mr Howell, tobacconist, Commercial-road. He was apprenticed to Mr E. Cox, of the cutter Arrow, but went on Mr Thompson's cutter in consequence of the latter being shortof hands. He was 19 years of age. He was wrecked on a former occasion when all the crew were saved. Captain Davies, of the Paragon, said yester- day that at the time of the disaster he was be- low. Owing to bad weather he had been on his feet for many hours and was very tired. He had not been called when the disaster occurred, and could give no details of it. He understood that some members of his crew saw the cutter and starboarded the helm-in order to avoid her. The latter, however, in manoeuvring was run down. Alpine, who was below at the time, ran up-on deck clad only in his-sbirt, and managed, to clamber up the side of the Paragon and thussaved his life.

R.S.P.C.A. PROSECUTIONS. Joseph Davies, horsekeeper, in the service of Messrs Cope, provision merchants, was sum- moned at the Sooth Western Court on Wednes- day for having caused a horse belonging to his employers to be worked with a broken knee. Mr Mead, addressing an officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, inquired why he had proceeded against the horsekeeper, a man incapable of paying a substantial fine, instead of the manager. The Officer t By order of the magistrate (Mr de Grey). Mr Mead I am sure not. A magistrate did not order prosecutions. Your society appealed to the public for subscriptions, got a great deal of money, and yet did nothing to proceed against persons really responsible. The officersaid he reported the matter to the head office. Mr Mead: Did -you ask whether you should take out a summons ?-No. The Magistrate: You don't seem very zealous. As I have said before, not sufficient exertion is taken to obtain a conviction of those who made a profit out of such horses. His Worship ordered the defendant to pky 108 6d, refusing costs, on the ground that the man was-too poor to pay them.

AN ERRATIC MOTOR-CAR. A rather alarming experience bcf el a party of motorists on Thursday morning in Penarth- road,4Uardiff. A motor-car (No. BO 331), in which .were four gentlemen, was coming at a rapid pace from the direction of Penarth, and when near the junction of Clare-road and Clarence-road the steering gear went wrong. The car swerved violently, narrowly missing coming into con- tact with an electric wire standard. It then ran on to the pavemeiltmissing violent collision with a low wall, and swerved again into the road, finally dashing straight for the window of a boot shop, but being fortunately pulled up in the nick of time. Attempt was made to right the car and then to resume the journey, when once more disaster was nearly the result. The motor-car collided with a hansom cab, the horse having a narrow escape. Ultimately the car was taken by short stages to amotor garage. gT

Great Crime Recalled.. LINDA MURR1 TO MARRY, ■ <-rTr«fr> One of the most celebrated crimes in Italf~ is recalled by the announcement that Signort. Theodolinda Murri, widow of the murdered Count Bonmartini, will shortly marry Professor Ergidi, of the Royal Academy of Fermo. Sig- nora Murri was sentenced fours years ago. after a long and sensational trial, to ten years' imprisonment for complicity in the murder of her husband. After spending a year in prison she was liberated on condition that she lived at the villa. of her father, Professor Murri, in Porto-San-Giorgio. The authorities granted her an uncondittomal release last May. Her acquaintajtce with Professor Ergidi was brought about through her children having received instructions from him at Fermo. He became a friend of the family, and later accompanied Signora Murri and her children on a trip to Norway and Sweden. Professor Ergidi is an ardent Social- ist, and has written & nrwrvhwr^rrf ecoomic subjects. < Signora Theodolinda Murri is the daughter of a Bolognese professor, considered the mast eminent physician in Italy. She married Count Francesco Bonmartini, the head of an old family in Bologna, but their mapriage life was extremely unhappy, despite the frequent intervention of the Archbishop of Bofagoa. Count Bonmartini's body was found in one of the rooms of his palace in September, 1902. He had been stabbed 12 times, and apparently the murder had taken place some days before. Purblic sympathy was at first manifested on behalf of his widow, but anonymous letters re- ceived by the police led to an examination of certain servants employed by 6ountess Bomnar tini,who implicated theCountesa in the murder. Professor Murri then astounded the authori- ties by denouncing his son Tullio for complicity in the crime. When arrested he first alleged that he had killed Count Bonmartini during a quarrel which arose from Tullio's remonstrance t against the ill-treatment of his sister. Coun- tess Bonmartini, her brother Tullio, and two doctors named Secchi and Naldi were placed on trial at Turin three years after the murder. The trial lasted for six months, and was filled with dramatic incidents. It was proven that the prsoiners had conspired together to kill Count Bonmartini, and that Dr. Naldi, because of his skill as a surgeon, inflicted the fata) blows. Tullio Mum.
