THE 2tC.RDIER OP TWO CHILDREN eIT 11:11,-
Froarm.

Yesterday, Thome Fuller Bacon, and Martha, his
wife, were again brought op at the Lambeth l'olices
mart, to be examined respecting the murder of their two
children.
The male prisoner. impureness had undergone a very con-
',tamable change. He eeemod exceedingly downcast, and
kept his eyes filed on the floor of the dock, se if to avoid
seeing any one, but, as if suddenly :recollecting himself, he
stood up and kept staring for some moments in the direction
in which his wife eat, in the hope of getting a sight of her
but her back being turned and a high partition behind her,
he did not succeed. At this moment, and when the exami-
nation was about to be proceeded with, Mr. Atter received
from the Waterloo Station the following telegraphic contain-
Mention, forwarded from Stamford immediately after Dr. Tay-
lor had mado the disclosure before the coroner and jury at
Great Challerton on that morning : " Arsenic it; found by
Dr. Taylor." On reading the document, Mr. Atter left his
mat, approached the dock, and had some private communi-
cation with Bacon, his client. The telegraphic message wan
handed to the chief clerk, who placed it before the magis-
trate. Mr. Elliott, after reading it, addressing Inspector
Young asked if he had any mom evidence to offer against
the prisoners, and Mr. Young replied that he had not.
Mr. Elliott nest asked the professional gentlemen engaged
in the cam if they had anything to offer to the court, and
both answered in the negative.
Mr. Elliott then said—After carefully considering this

that oaiaa h ban found in the body of Mrs. 811,2011,

soner, bad beam la possession of, and dealing with, a similar

VW announcement created an evident /amnion through-
out the crowded court, and all eyes were fixed on ;the male
primmer ; but he, beyond keeping his eyes fixed on the floor
sad exhibiting a slight flush on the countenance, did noi
betray any particular emotion.
Mr. Elliott—l feel it also to he my duty to state that, in
the course of this invemigation, I received a letter, signed
" A," dimleeing eirmuostannes of • peculiar character indi-

note for her, and then auk the magistrate for an interview,
and if that was refused, for permission to send her the note
be should write. A pen, ink and paper were then given to
him, and in the presence of Cook and Inspector Young he
wrote a note, of which the following is a literal copy :
"My dear Martha,—l write these few lime to you hoping
that you will tell me the truith, as I wish to the Lord that
you will speak the truith, as it will be Best for us, as our
situation muerte, now we are placed that nothing else will

will not but give rue answer, as I should like to see you, and
likewise to speak to you. Hoping you are well. So now
more this time, with my love to you.—l remain your
affectionate husband, 1. F. Bacow."
Bacon here, at hie request, was taken before the magistrate,
and addressing Mr. Elliott, said—Might I take the liberty
of asking to be mowed to see my wife P
Mr. Elliott-1 cannot allow you to do eo.
Baron—Than may I communicate with her by letter ?
Mr. Elliott—At present I cannot allow you to have any
oonununiestion with her.
The prisoner was then led out of court.
