The Mysterious Murder at Sunuinghi
Park.

During the whole of last week Mr Superintendent Ire-
monger of the Berke Constabulary, has been actively en-
gaged in a series of investigations with the object of disco-
vering, if possible, the actual murderer of Mrs El'zebeth
Butler, the poor old woman who was killed in M r
Crutchley'e lodge at Sunninghill Park. Clue after clue
has been followed up closely, and the result has been that
some most important information has been obtained. No
owner has been found at Winkfield for the trammel-net
pawned by the prisoner, William Smith, and which is now
in the possession of the police. It seems, however, that on
the 15th of last month, the day of the murder, a young
man named Robert Faulkener, who had driven over from
Spital, near Windsor, to Wingfield, with a horse and cart,
on his return about 7 o'clock in the evening wet in the road
at Fern Hill two tramps, a man and a woman, who had
with them a dog. The man wore a guernsey, cord trousers,
and billycock hat, while the woman was dressed in a dark
cotton gown, black shawl, and dirty straw bonnet ; this
description thus tallying with that of the tramp who has
been apprehended, and the woman who was seen in his
company near Marlow, The tramps asked Faulkener—who
was afraid to refuse them—to give them a lift along the
road, and he eccordingly drove them as far as the model
cottages, just outside the entrance to Windsor Park, where
they got out and left him. On Thursday last Mr Superin-
tendent Iremonger proceeded to Ilollyport, on the Windsor
read, and ascertained from a labouring man named
Critcher, that about a fortnight previous, while stand-
ing near "the big elm,"
two tramps, a man and a woman,
passed by ; the woman appeared to be quarrelling with the
man, and as they went along the female exclaimed, "You
villain I you murdered that old woman." Critcher further
stated that Mr Wallis, a market gardener in the neigh-
bourhood, was present at the time, and could corrobo-
rate his statement, and on Mr Wallis being asked about
the affair it was found to be correct. Here, then, was
another link in the chain of evidence, but a greater surprise
awaited the supetintenient, fur on his return home in the
evening be received information to the effect that on the
day after the apprehension of Thomas Guest and William
Smith ('he two tramps now confined in Aylesbury Gaol) a
suit of clothes tied up in a bundle had been found in the
hedge bounding the adjoining field to that containing the
hay ricks on Mr Creswell's farm, Great Marlow, where the
tramps had slept the night before they were taken by tLe
police. The men were ploughing at the time of the dis-
covery of the clothes, and as it was thought that they
might be full of vermin they were throwa on the land
and covered with the furrows. It will be remembered that
the rick and field had been searched by the police for the
stick, which was not to be found, and it seems strange that
such an important fact as the finding a suit of clothes close
to where the two men had slept was not communicated at
once to the superintendent. Such, however, was the case,
but no time was to be lost. Mr Cresswell, on being in-
formed of the importance attached to the obtaining these
clothes, at once consented to the field being eearched, and
men were set at wink to find them, and probably by this
time they may be in the hands of the police. In the means
time, a reward of £lOO has been offered by her Majesty's
Government to any person who will give such information
as will lead to the apprehension of the guilty parties, and
the Secretary of State will advise the grant of her Majesty's
pardon to any accomplice not the actual murderer,
