THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1867.

with the weight. Lozenge and Wolsey, with Laneret
and Wroughton at their quarters, were now in front,
having, however, but • slight lead of Julius, in the
centre of the couree, Knight of the Garter and Iloneety
lying next on the upper ground, Lord Glasgow's colours
being prominent, with The Corporal &lightly in rear of
Julius, while lying wide on the extreme right, but beaten,
was Harry Brailsford. The race, on enterieg the rails,
was virtually reduced to a match between Lozenge and
Wolsey, the former having a alight lead, as Laneret was
struggling on in their rear, while Julius, after a genie
effort, died away under the crushing weight, and was again
headed by Honesty. Wroughton, Knight of the Garter, and
Actea. In the last fifty yards a tremendous struggle com-
menced between Sam Adams and Kenyon, and so close
was it that it was impossible to see which had gained the
advantage in the final effort, and the announcement of a
dead heat was fully anticipated by thaw who were
in a good position to judge. Learnt struggled home
third, a couple of lengths in rear of the dead-heaters,
and nearly twice that distance in advance of Honesty, who
was fourth. Wroughton was fifth, two or three lengths
from the Duke of Hamilton's colt, Knight of the Garter
being sixth, and Actaa seventh. Close up with Mr. Thel-
lumen's mare were the Straffonl's dam colt, The Corporal,
and Julius head and head, an interval of a length sepa-
rating them from Anuourer, Grey Stocking, Captain Kidd,
Leases, Blinkboolie, Ammunition, and Harry L'railaford,
in a cluster. The next division consisted of Jenne Pre-
miere, Duke of York, Montagnard, Duchess, Nancy, Jasw,
Marmite, War, and Adam Bede ; the rear division pulled
up on the post being Tormentor, La Dauphine, the Attack
°oh, Hippie, Nu, Cecrops, and William Tell. As soon as
it became known that the determined finish bad actually
resulted in a dead heat, the excitement was, if possible,
more intense than when the struggle was going on, and
the partisans of either were equally sanguine of success.
Loud cheering greeted both Kenyon and " Sammy" Adams
as they returned to weigh in. Immediately after race's
walk-over the jockeys were weighed out for the deciding
heat amidst such a scene of excitement as has never pre-
viously been witnessed on Newmarket Heath.
Deciding Heat.—Betting: 11 to 10 on Wolsey. As
soon as the wool was given, Adams. obeying instructions to
come away, forced the running at his but pace, Wolsey
lying on his left for nearly half the distance, when Kenyon
brought him up on the higher ground and took his place
on the right of Lozenge. As they came over the brow of
the hill the pair took closer order, Lozenge still, however,
maintaining a alight lead, and it was not until entering
the rails, where Kenyon came with • determined rush,
that loud shouts were raised proclaiming Sir Joseph Haw-
ley's victory, Both jockeys were now haul upon their
homes, and a finer or more determined finish was never
witnessed. At the most vital juncture of this extraor
dinary struggle, about half a dozen strides from the chair,
Adams made a resolute effort, and Lozenge just having
sufficient stamina left to answer it, landed the " chocolate
and white hoops" by a neck. Loud and prolonged cheer-
ing greeted the announcement of the winner's number, and
this was renewed again and again when the " all right "
was pronounced by the clerk of the scales.

TV BLOOMSBURY MURDER.

ADJOURNID INQUVIT.
After our report left yesterday,
Mr. Poland asked the witness Mrs. Jenman—Did you
not on the Bth of November, 18C.2,charge John Hayes with
• rape , and was not the cue dismissed by the magistrates"
Witness_l don't know whether it was or not. If he
was not punished by the civil officers he was punished by
the
Mr. Poland—Then you did make the charge?
Witness—l did, and lam not ashamed of it. I was •
respectable woman, else I would not hare done it.
Mr. Poland—Did you make a charge against anybody
else

Witness—lf you ask me anything about my back life I
shall not answer it. That is my word and hoed. I won't
have my character disgraced.
Mr. Poked—Were you ever charged with attempting to
commit suicide'

Witness (violently)—l will not open my lips if you ask
me these things.
Mr. Poland—l ask you again, have you ever been charged
with committing suicide?
Witness—That is my business. lam very sorry I had
anything to do with this business at all, and I tell you that
this is the last time you will see me here or anywhere else
on this case. What right had you to bring my aged
parents into it?
Mr. Poland—Tell us where your mother, whom you re-
ported to be dead, is.
Witness—l will tell you nothing.
By the jury—l met a girl named Walker in Oxford-
street on the Tuesday, when I heard the men talking. My
husband went to Superintendent Searle and gave informa-
tion before I told him I would go. I am a native of
Ireland, but it is a long time since I have been there.
By Mr. Sleigh—l don't know whether I came up to
London when my husband was at Brighton. I know a man
named Everett, to my sorrow. He wanted to take my SW!.
He is like many other detective officers who take all they
can and then turn round on you after. I told Everett I
was entitled to some money, and he came up to see about
it, but he was not clever enough. I believe he is an officer
in the police force at Chichester. I have not brought an
action against the Brighton Railway Company but I took
out a writ against them. I won't tell you whether I com-
menced an action.

Mr. Sleigh—How many times did you make claims
against the Brighton Company!
Witness—l lost my boxes on the line. On the Mx' of
July 1 lost a box containing 181. worth of ware. I was
offered 101. They did not pay me, and I did not bring an
action against them. My husband gave me permission to
go and tell about the murder last Saturday week. He
knew I was going to Inspector Thomson, and I told him I
was going to speak about the dark man. My husband
may have expected I was going to tell all about the
matter. I don't know. He told me to give information
about the dark man, and not to say anything about the
fair man.

To the jury—I did not see the man put a false beard on,
but I saw him put his hand in his pocket, and immediately
after he was wearing the false beard.
By the Coroner—l am a milliner and dressmaker. lam
entitled to some money, which I shall receive on the 4th of
December. I should have got it when I was 21 years of
age if I had not got married.
Inspector Thomson, of the detective police at Scotland-
yard, was then examined. He said—l was at the Clark'a-
buildings station (E Division) on Sunday morning, the 21/th
of September, when Groves was brought in custody charged
with assaulting a man named Buzzer. His gave the names
of two persons as bail. I knew the persons and gave orders
to have him searched. A long dagger in • sheath was found
iu his possession. I afterwards went to his lodgings, 29, Gd-
bert-street, which is halfway between Regent-circus and the
Marble-arch. I entered a small room on the top Hoer, and
having made a search found a revolver, five of the barrels
of which were loaded. I found a quantity of papers re-
lating to the Fenian movement, and about fifty bullets
and cartridge& I afterwards got the bullet found at the
hospital. It fitted the chamber of the pistol found at
Groves' lodgings. I now believe the bullet never passed
through the pistoL There were seven grooves in the
bullet and only three iu the pistol. After Groves Lad
been identified by a man named Corydon I went to his
cell, and said, " I think it memory to ask you one question.
Before you answer pause, as it may be a serious matter to
you; and don't answer at all if you like." He said, " What
is it?" and I said, " I wish to know where you were
shortly after one o'clock yesterday morning." He replied,
"Gilbert-street." and I asked from where. He said,
"Southampton-row." I asked what part of Southampton-
row, and he answered, " Mrs. Byrne's, until the house was
closed." I took him to the hospital, to the bedside of
M`Donnell, and asked M'Donnell if be saw anybody there
whom he had seen the night he was shot. He said, "That
man is like him, but I think he was bigger than him."
Six persons, including the nurse and M'Donnell's mother,
were present. I took him to King-street and charged him
on suspicion with shooting and wounding Edwin M'Donnell
with intent to murder him. He said, • You have wade •
mistake." Groves was at first calm and bold, but after
having been identified by Corydon he trembled and seemed
alarmed. That letter (Mrs. Jenman's letter produced)
reached me on the evening of Monday, the 7th October.
When the prisoner was examined at the police cont.% his
address was given. I saw Mrs. Jenman on the Tuesday
evening. She had been to Scotland-yard, and was brought
to my house by a constable. She made • statement about
having seen the abort dark man at the corner of George-
street. She said nothing about what occurred on the
night of the murder. Instructions were given to have the
short man stopped and questioned, but he was not found.
I was with Mrs. Jenman the whole of the day on Wednesday,
and saw her a short time on Thursday and Friday. I saw
her again on Saturday. She was brought down from Fer-
ber's lodgings, and told Inspector Garforth that she knew
Harriet Williams, the writer of the letter to Farber. On
Friday night she said something about a female, but she
spoke indistinctly, end I let it drop till the next day. 10
the course of the afternoon of Saturday she made a state-
ment to Inspector Garforth, which was taken down in
writing. I saw her signature, and on comparing it with
the letter signed" Harriett Williams," I found she was
the writer. When she first came to my house on the
Tuesday she said she could not write. The witness then
gave an account of the identification of Groves by Mrs.
Jenman.

The Coroner—Do you suppose she could have seen
Groves before!

Witness—She might have seen him at Bow-street, and
there was a description of the prisoner in the papers. The
prisoners in the House of Detention could also be seen
from the adjoining houses.
By Mr. Poland—l went to Dias on Saturday, and found
that no Mrs. Haley or Mrs. Williams had died there. The
name Haley was not known at all, but there is a Mrs.
Williams, a widow, having four children. There is
nothing to show that that family is connected with Mrs.
Jenman.

By Mr. Sleigh—The gunsmith told me that the bullet,
to have passed through the pistol, must have seven grooves.
When Groves was brought to the hospital he was put be-
tween Sergeant Davis and Inspector Garforth. M`Don-
Dell knew Groves was the man whom he was to identify
I when the nurse put the hat on his head. The hat was
not put on the head of anybody else. I saw Groves in the
I House of Detention after he bad been identified by M.
Jenman. His clothes were similar to those worn by the
other prisoners. The bullet found at the hospital must
have passed through a pistol with seven grooves.
Inspector Garforth, of the E division of police, was next
examined. He said—l was with Inspector Thomson, at
Clark's-buildings, Bloomsbury Station, on the 29th of last
month, and accompanied him to the cell where Groves
was confined. I corroborate his statements as to the con-
versation which took place between him and Groves, what
took place at the University College Hospital, and
the finding of documents, at Groves' lodg-
ings. I was with Inspector Thomson on Tues-
day the Bth of October, when we saw Mrs. dea-
-1 man. On Wednesday and Thursday we were with her in
Oxford-street, looking for the short man to whom she had
referred. On Saturday, 12th of October. she made a state-
ment to me, which I committed to writing :—" E Divi-
sion, Oct. 12, 1867. Copy of statement made by Anne
Marta Jenman this day, relating to the murder of Edward
M'Donnell, on the 28th ult. I was walking along
Oxford-street with my husband at 10.10 p.m., on the Ilth
inst., when we met a woman named Harriet (supposed a
prostitute), whom we met at Brighton 44 years ago. We
had some conversation, and it turned upon the murder of
the young man being shot in Vernomplace. She said that
she knew more about it than I did. She knew the young
man Groves perfectly well, and was with him on the night
of the murder at the Bell and Anchor public-house, Hol-
born, and some words took place between the bandsman
Farber and Groves about something they had been play-
ing at ; and Groves and another young man, his compa-
nion, and herself left the house and watched Furber out
of the house. They then went towards Southampton-
row, when John (meaning Groves) declared all the way
he would shoot the young MAD Farber. They watched
him to the Turk's Head and passed him. After he had
left about half-way up Southampton-row, and when they
had got to the corner, he (John) shot the young man, but
not the one he intoade.l to shoot. She (Harriet) left him
by the Turk's Ilead public-house, and heard the report of
firearms. She saw John again about half an hour after-
wards, near to Moses and Sons, outfitters, Oxford-street.
She did not think he would be condemned to be hung,
as she would not swear against bins. The same man was
with him when I saw him by Moses and Sons. His name
is Joseph Groves, wore a large, long false beard and mous-
tache. He put it on between the Bull and Anchor and
the Turk's Head, and be took it off when she saw him the
second time. She knew Joe was not taken, and when I
said that I saw her giving his description, she said, Oh.
did you?' She said she would not swear against him, but
she had beento 12, William-street. Furber was not at home.
I saw the landlady and gave her all particulars. She bad
also written to Furber to Windsor, and enclosed his letter
in a deep mourning envelope. She had also written
to a detective, and had been to the prison. Allowed to
ass him. She (Harriet) said Groves used to wear a large
beard, but he had recently cut it off. He wore a Paris
hat.—(Signed) Anna Maria Jenman." On Sunday
morning, the 12th inst., I went to Mrs. Jenman's
lodgings with Vurber, and we saw Mr. and Mts.
Jenman. On the previous day Inspector Thomson and I
left word that if a female called at F'urber's lodgings, No.
12 William-street, she should be detained by the police.
While we were at Scotland-yard, a telegram came stating
that a female had arrived, and instructions were sent to
convey her to Clark's.buildings station. When she same

we found she was Mrs. Jenman. She has never said who
was the woman who was with her when she saw the short
man at George-street. I went to Portfield, and found
Jenman's mother. She is the wife of an agricultural
labourer. I understood that Mr. and Mrs. Jenman had
been down there during the summer, and that the last
time they were there was about a month or five weeks ago. I '
found she had been interrogated before in reference to
another matter, and that she was indisposed to answer
questions. When I told her to be particular in fixing
dates, she excused herself by saying she was no scholar.
She told me she could not recollect whether Mr. and Mrs.
Jenman slept there on the occasion of their last visit.
Mr. Sleigh—After these inquiries would you belleveMrs.
Jenman on her oath 1'
Witness—No, sir.

Mr. Sleigh—*hat is her character in the places in which
you have made inquiries—ii it not that of a liar and
schemer T

Witnees—Yes, in Chichester, Portsmouth, and
Brighton.
To the foreman—l have seen Healy, the upholsterer,
who was with Groves at Mrs. Byrne's public-house on the
night of the murder. Healy admitted having been with
Groves at Mrs. Byme'd at ten o'clock. Healy is a short
man about sft. bin. He was placed amongst 13 or 14
men, but Mrs. Jenrnan did not pick him out as being the
short dark man. Farber also failed to identify
William Bowler, a cabman, who was at the Turk's
Head on the Friday night, the 27th of September, was
next examined. He stated that Groves, accompanied by
four men, left the Turk's Head, and pushed him (witness)
in Southampton-row, remarking, "You have had your
nose broken; I ,ihould like to straighten it." Witness
told him he would "skin" his nose. Three gentlemen
passed up the Row at the time, but he didn't know that
any of the five followed them. Three of the five left
Groves and the other man, and were disposed to quarrel
with him. He had seen Ferber and Hitching*, the two
bandsmen who accompanied 11'Donnell, and he could not
say that they were two of the three gentlemen who
passed daring his altercation with Groves and his corn•
panions. Groves did not wear whiskers. He did not see
Groves in the Turk's Heed. He heard of the murder on
the following Tuesday.
By Mr. Sleigh—He had not said at Bow-street that the
three gentlemen passed up Southampton-row before
and not during the altercation. He didn't re-
member that he had told him (Mr. Sleigh) that
he first heard of the murder on the next day, when he read
it in the paper. He did not remember having said in his
cross-examination that he didn't know whether he had seen&
paper or not. Superintendent Searle showed him a paper
on the Tuesday. On that day he saw a notice offenng
100/. reward. He did not read the notice. In the paper
which was given him he did not read the description of the
prisoner.
By the foreman—He did not recognise Green's voice as
that of one of the persons who were talking aboutlenianism
in the private compartment of the Turk's Head.
By the Coroner—He picked Groves out of fifty or sixty
persons in the House of Detention.
At this stage of the proceedings the inquiry was ad-
journed till to-morrow, at half-put 12 o'clock, at the
lecture-room of University College Hospital.
