TUE MURDER IN CANNON-STREET.-ARREST
OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER.

Yesterday morning Colonel J. Fraser, the Commiasoner
of the City of London Police, despatched Sergeants Moss
and Hancock, detective officers, to Windsor, in order to
apprehend a man named William Smith, who, from a clue
which has been obtained, has been arrested upon suspicion
of having committeed the horrible murder in Cannon-
street. The two officers in question arrived at Windsor
in the forenoon, and at once proceeded to the Clewer police
station for the purpose of obtaining the assistance of Mr.
Inspector Reece, an active and intelligent officer of
the Berks Constabulary. In company with a man
named Terry, who is en acquaintance of Smith's, and
was taken from town to recognise him, the three
police officers proceeded to Eton, where they were
joined by Mr. Inspector Dearman, of the Bucks con-
stabulary, and the whole party then went to So. 6, Eton-
square, a turning leading out of High-street, where Smith
lodged with bis mother and sisters. The house was at
once surrounded, when it was found that the accused was
not in. He was, however, fetched 'from a neighbouring
workshop by police-constable Clark, and immediately
arrested by the City police. The clothes which the pri-
soner was wearing at the time he was taken into custody
were found to be partly spotted with blood, and were also
ascertained to have been worn by him during a recent
visit to London. Accompanied by Sergeants Moss ,
and Hancock, and Inspectors Reece and Pearman, the ac-
cused was taken to the Windsor station of the Great
Western Railway and thence to the City, to await
his examination. The prisoner, who is supposed to
be about 2S years of age, has, it is understood, been
in the employ of Mr. Taylor, the stationer, in the
High-street, Windsor. He, unfortunately for himself,
bears a most disreputable character, having been con-
victed several times, once for felony, and on the other oc-
casions for drunkenness. From what has transpired with
respect to the murder of Mrs. Millsom, it would appear
that a letter written by Smith has been found in the box
of the murdered woman. This furnished the clue which
has led to his apprehension. The accused, when arrested,
was shown the letter in question, and on being asked if it
was in his handwriting, replied in the affirmative, but stated
that he had written it at the instigation of Terry. who,
however, denies it.
