Tall GIKL : COMMITTAL OF A 81A11111
FOR WILFUL MUNDIZ.—On Tuesday a young man, a
seaman, named George Ivamy, of Pools, wss committed
by • coroner's jury to take his trial at the next Dor-
chester Assists for the wilful murder of Anne Hancock,
aged about 16. The girl, who earns her living us char-
woman, wee keeping *imperil b
with the prisons_,r,
and, from the evidence Teo, there can e
no doubt that he was salons of her. Early
op Sunday morning they were seen together,
and • man named Seedy etated thet about one
o'elciek he aa• leamy with a young woman, who
undoubtedly we. the deceased, walking across the
Quay. They were then talking roughly to one another,
and !veiny said, ",How is it that you did not bide at
home," She made no reply, and he said, "I have been
watching your manceuvres. I will have nothing more
to do with you. You had better go with that bloke
where you have been before." The deceased ran awsy,
and the prisoner followed her and seised her. Sandy
then says he waked away and saw nothing more either
of prisoner or the deceased. Previously to this it also
appears that the prisoner had a quarrel at his
mother's house in the fitrand, he apparently having been
shut out, and the deesesed then went up to him, and
pulled him away, upon which a struggle took place
between them. About two o'clock on Sunday morning
Mrs. Caine, the wife of a pilot, was awoke by bearing
loud screams and a splashing of water. She opened
the window and looked out, when she still heard the
serums, mingled with what she believed to be the voice
of a man. Almosit immediately afterwards, and whilst
pertiallly dressing herself, she again looked out of the
window, and saw • man whom she could not identify
walking very quickly from the direction whence theories
pvooe.ded. Mrs. Caine sailed reputedly to him, and the
was certain he heard her, but he look no notice, and did
not stop for an instant. An alarm having been given,
She body wee dinged for and found. There were
several marks of violence upon it, and it was the opinion
of the medical men that deceased had been submerged
during life. The prisocer on being charged persisted
that he was at home and asleep at bill-pest twelve
o'clock, a statement which was quite oontradieted by the
evidence, for after the body of the deceased had been
recovered and given into the care of the police, the
prisoner was on the quay and spoke to Oates, the man
who dragged for the body. He Inquired what was the
matter, and Oates told him a young woman had been
drowned. Prisoner then saw the body, wbich was in •
boat covered with a sail, awl directly afterwards he
jumped off the quay apparently with the intention of
drowning himself. He, however, quickly emerged from
the water and reached the quay @gain by means of what
are known as the Broad-steps. Oates remonstrated with
prisoner on bin conduct, and he muttered something,
which was not heard, and walked away. After hearing
the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilfal
murder" against the prisoner. lesmy was taken before
the magistrates on Wednesday, on remand. The evidence
was =Wye, recapitulation of that given at the coroner's
inquisition, but it was here deposed that the prisoner
had threatened to kill her and any man he should see
talking with her. The magistrates committed the
prisoner for trial for the capital offence. Be was removed
to the Dorset county prison on Thursday.
