The Wmdsor-Rainhill Tragedies

4 | PER UNITED PKESS ASSOCIATION. I London, April 4. The police do not believe that Deeming was in Johannesburg nt the time of tlic other murders. April 5. The police consider that there is not the slightest ground for the renewal of the stories of Deeming's connection with the Whitechapel murders, or any other event in England between his departure in 1888 and his arrival in September in 1889. Many swindles, in nil parts of the country, are also, they say, wrongly attributed to Deeming. Melbourne, April 5. The inquest on Mrs Williams (nee Miss Mather) was resumed to«day, SI witnesses being examined, principally for purposes of identification of the deceased. The person who sold Deeming the cement fully identified the accused. Mr Max Hirschbelt, a fellow passanger by the Kaiser Wilhelm, and who proceeded with the Melbourne detectives to identify Wiiliams, deposed that the prisoner had said that if convicted of the Windsor murder he would write such a story of his life as would astonish the world. During the hearing of the evidence there was a large number of ladies pre* sent in Court. There is so much interest excited in England over the case that fully a column of the proceedings of the inquest hare been cabled to the papers there daily. April 6 1 Nineteen witnesses, including Miss Rounsfell, were examined to-day at the Windsor murder inquest. Nothing of an important character was elicited, the evidence for the most part proving the sale by accused of the contents of the contents of the cottage at Windsor.
