LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13.

THU& has probably never boon a trial for
murder in which the evidence against the primmer,

partly circumstantial and partly direct, was more
overwhelming than in the case which was brought
to a conclusion yesterday at the Central Crimi-
nal Court. EDWARD KARL KOHL had lived
in England for some time ; he had worked for
a butcher, and subsequently in a sugar bakery,
but had fallen out of employment, and was in
extremely poor eircumatanoes, when on his

. .
return from • short visit to his native

country, he married • young Englishwoman,
in the first week of last October, and took s

lodging-house in Hoy-stresi, Plaistow Marshes.

Wiih him there came to lodge a fellow-country-
man named Tuitoooan CHRISTIAN FORHOP,
whom he described to his English acquaintances
as " a young merchant whom he hid known in
" his own country for a long time ;" with whom,

in fact, he had been " brought up as a brother."
The truth, as it appeared in evidence, was that
had met FCRHOP on board the steamer
from Hamburgh, and finding that he waa com-
paratively well off, and bad cash and clothes, and
a watch and portmanteau and trinkets, had taken
advantage of a confiding nature to prevail upon the
unfortunate young man to oome and lodge with
him, and bring all his property to the house. To
the day of his death in Plaistow Marshes, Ft;anor
lived under Kum.% roof, and on terms so
friendly and intimate that, with or without hie
leave, Komt had pawned the young man's watch
and chain and other things. On the morn-
ing of the 3rd of November KOHL was seen, by
several witnesses, walking with FI:B.HOP along the
bank of the Thames towards the reed-bed. They
were going along • path that skirts' the reed-bed
and leads to it, and were seen together about • quar-
ter of a mile from it. Fuanor was never again seen
alive ; and in that reed-bed towards which he was
seen walking with his friend and fellow-countryman
on the 3rd of November, his headless body was
found five mornings after by a young ship-
wright lad who was out shooting birds, about ten
yards from the path leading towards the river, and
about fifty yards frdm the river bank. It was by
the merest accident that the body was found in
this unfrequented place ; a high tide would have
washed it out to sea. The body had been gnawed
by rats ; it was without • head, and stripped to
the shirt, but the boot and trousers had not been
taken off. Next day the head was found in a rat-
hole full of blood, round which the earth
had been trampled down. The head and
neck showed wounds and fractures which
a surgeon at once pronounced to have been in-
flicted partly by a knife and partly by • hatchet or
chopper. On the day when Kum. and FLIIHOP
were last seen together KOHL returned alone to
his own house about 10 o'clock, having called
upon a friend and fellow countryman by the way.
It was hard dry weather, yet his boots and clothes
were covered thick with mad ; not the mud of
London streets, but of a river marsh or reed bank.
He said be had become muddy from riding in a
butcher's cart. When asked what had become
of " JOHN" (as he called poor FURHOPN he said
he had left " JOHN " outside a sugar-bakery in
the Commercial-road while he went in to ask
for work, and that when he returned into the
street Joint was gone, and he had seen no more
of him. This was one account he gave ;
another was that he had left " JOHN" in a public-
house ; another, that he had lent " Jona " a half•
penny to go over an iron bridge ; at a distance of
some five miles from the place in the marshes
where they were last seen together that morning
at ten o'clock. Having scrubbed the mad off
his clothes, he said, "If Joins does not
" return in two hours, I shall break open '
" his box ;" and break it open he did ; and
affected astonishment at some of his friend's
clothes, which he himself had pawned, being miss-
ing. " Now, that JOHN'S things are gone," he
said to a man whom be had asked to be • witness
to his breaking open the box, " Join! Will never
" return," though he had only mimed him that
morning in the Commercisl road. But how had

the murder been committed! " Partly," said the
surgeon, who had examined the body and the
head, " by a sharp instrument and partly by a
" blunt one." One of the lodgers in KOHL'S
house had a hatchet, which KOHL was in the
habit of borrowing to split wood. He had bor-
rowed it the day before FURHOP was mining,
and he returned it the day after. The per-
son to whom it belonged remarked that the
top of it was painted red ; and he said that he bad
put the paint there to make the blade stick tighter
to the handle. On a minute examination of this
hatchet, small portions of cotton and linen fibre,
and also a very small portion of human skin. were
found attached to a part of the jagged edge. On the
prisoner's cloth es Dr. LITHEBY discovered two or three
spots of blood, andof the same paint as had bemused
to paint the hatchet. On a further search in the
reed-bed • clasp-knife was picked up between
where the body and where the head was found.
This clasp-knife, it was sworn, bad been seen in
KOHL'S possession on the Sunday after the murder.
On the day following he was twice seen at
a short distance from the reed-bed ; early in the
morning, and again in the afternoon, and must
have dropped the knife, accidentally or other-
wise, on one of these visits to the river bank.
