London, April 10.
Clive, the artilleryman, who, on being arrested at Pietermarilzburg, confessed that be murdered Miss Camp in a railway c image at London, now asserts that he confessed in order to eeoure a passage to England,
The murder of Miss Camp was one of the mysteries of 1897. A railway oleaoer at Waterloo, entering tbe carriage of the 8,25 from Feltham, found tbe body of a woman under tbe seat of a railway carriage, Her forehead had been battered in by some heavy implement. A search a’ong the line brought to light a bloodstained peßtle, clotted with hair. The body was identified as beiog that of Mbs Camp, a barmaid at Walworth. Evidently she had strugg'el hard for her life, for the carriage was in indescribable disorder, and tho sides of the compartment bloodbespattered. The olues in the bands of the police were vigorously followed up ; everything that seemed to have the slightest bearing on tho oase was thoroughly investigated, and all tho murdered woman’s acquaintances submitted to examination, But, despite the searob, and the possession of such a clue as the blond stained pestle, the perpetrator was never discovered,
