THE FOLKESTONE MURDERER.

Pedanies, the murderer of the two gils Caroline and Maria Back,
rear Folkestone, has nearly recovered from the effects of the wounds
he inflicted upon himself, and is still confined in St. Augustine's
jail, where he will remain until the next assizes at Maidstone. It
will be remembe7ed that the prisoner, when apprehended, was coat-
less, he wvaring the two cloak, which he had taken from the bodies
of the unfortunate victims. The coat was fourid on Friday last, in a
wood near Swerdling in the pa -Ash of Petharn. On the breast
lay the waistbelt and the wristbands of the prisoner's shirt, one of
the latter having marks of bllod uvon it. A am di cross had been
carefully made out of two pieces cf dog wood tied together with
black thrend, and was fixed in o the ground. Around this
emblem of the prisoner's faith hung the red piping which he had
taken from his soldier's t,ousers. There were two ribbons on the
breast of tire coat (obtained, it is supposed, while In the Austrian
service), but a close examination of the cloth failed to detect any
marks of blood. The position of the coat with the cross favours the
beuet that the prisoner had undergone great mental suffering, and
had endeavoure I to console himself by some religious observances.
