HORSE MAIMING AT GREAT WYRLEY.
Received September 16, 8.43 a.m. LONDON, September 15. The police have withdrawn the charges against Morgan, a young Butcher, of maiming horses at Great Wyrley. The prosecution was a fiasco. Received September 16, 10.33 p.m. LONDON, September 16. The presiding Magistrate, in discharging Morgan, remarked that the Bench considered that the accused himself was responsible for his arrest ny a foolish statement made some time ago that he was not averse to committing a crime in order to help to clear Edalji. The police admitted that there was no evidence to oecure a conviction. (There were recently two or three cases of cattle maiming in the village, which caused great excitement coming as they did so soon upon the release of Edalji, a solicitor, who was convicted in 1903, on charges of having committed similar outrages.)
