It appears the pantry at Denham Villa has been cemented since the murder to avoid the smell which had been noticed. Deeming (alias Williams) inspected several houses at Bainhill, which included a clause in he agreement to coraent the floors. It is believed the boxes sent to Plymouth contain clothes and earth which was removed from under the floor.

The bos of clothes has been found at Plymouth, some of the garments in which are stained with blood. The inquest has been adjourned. Later. It is supposed that Williams' first wife wishing to stop bis relations with another woman, insisted on leaving Birkenhead for Bain hill, and thereupon was murdered in order to leave him free to continue the courtship of Miss Mathers. (Beceiyed March 19, 12.40 p.m.) Perth, This Day, Williams arrived at Perth in custody yesterday. When arrested he declared his innocence, maintaining his name was Swinson, not Williams. The police, however, have secured large quantities of Swinson's effects, including photographs and correspondence, which, it is understood, establish his identity. During the journey to York, Williams ate and slept little, and fainted twice, but maintains a cheerful appearance and spoke confiden|ly of his ability to prove his innocence. At the York railway station he addressed the crowd, telling them he was perfectly innocent, but had been victimised by a woman at Perth. A thousand people were in waiting for his arrival. The prisoner looked travel-worn and anxious, but put on an air of bravado.
