TRACK OF THE HARTLEPOOL MURDERER.-
Some rather important revelations have come to
few days in connection with the murder
light within the lase
of Matthew Hodgson, near Hartlepool, on the 19th of
March last. It will be reellembered that the man who was
supposed to have committer: the deed Ras described
minutely by Margaret Denton, who saw him following
deceased on the day of the murder ell) Hart-lane, with a
bludgeon in his hand, which was after wards found near
the spot where the tragedy was perpetrateei. This man
the police of the district have been unsuccess:lll in get-
ting hold of; but about three weeks ago, Margao Den-
ton was at Hartlepool with one of the farm labour erei
and on returning in the cart at night, while the driver
was absent a minute or two, her eyes caught those of a
man who was intently gazing at her. She at once recog-
nised in him the man whom she saw following Hodgson
a short time before he was murdered. The driver joined
the cart, and as it was proceeding-this man, whom the girl
eyed with such fear, came up to the cart, and, from a point
from which he could scan the girl's face, again scrutinis-
ingly glanced at her, and inquired of the driver if ho was
going to Hart. Ho received a negative reply. The cart then
proceeded on its journey, having to go a little to the north
of Hart. At the bend in the road where, on the 19th of
March the girl had first seen the supposed murderer, this
individual, strange to say, was there ; and he again put
the same question to the driver, asking if he was going to
Hart. The driver, apparently annoyed at the troublesome
inquiry,,grefitly answered him in the negative. All this
time Margaret Denton was so terrified that she dared
not breathe to the driver of the cart who this strange
questioner was, but on arriving at home she told her mother
she had seen the man who had followed Hodgson up the lane
on the day of the murder. The farm labourer who was
driving the cart when this incident occurred appears to
have had occasion to go to Hartlepool on Monday last, and
when in the outskirts of the boroughs! o was accosted by his
former questioner. He said, "Do you ew that girl that
was in the cart with you un Friday?' Yee," replied the
driver. "Did she say anything about me?". "No.
" What, did she not say she knew one nicely ?" "No, she
never mentioned you." Such was tire conversation, rued
the man left. The facts were then communicated to the
police, who during. the past week have been eoeuring the
whole neighbourhood.—Newcastle Chronicle.
FATAL TIGER HUNT.—Copt. ilmot, of the 10611'
Foot, has been killed in a tiger hunt, in the Boondie
Hills, Captains Wilmot and Dawson had bagged nine,
their leave had nearly expired, they had quitted the
hills, and congratulated each other that the trip had
ended without a single accident—when, at near sunset
of the day before last, intelligence was brought them
that a tiger was at the foot of the hill. They at once
proceeded to the spot and then walked him up; both
fired, and the tiger, severely wounded, sought refuge up
the hill. Apparently without waiting to re-load, both
officers followed, taking the tiger's own path. Shoulder
to shoulder, with a native carrying spare arms, and directed
by traces of blood and the roaring of the brute,the two officers
approached his lair on a patch of jungle on the hillside,
when from a height the tiger sprang upon them, knocked
both over, and seizing Wilmot carried him off towards his
retreat, treating the unfortunate man as a cat does a rat.
Captain Dawson appears to have discharged his second
barrel in this scrimmage, and on recovering himself and
looking round for the spare single, he found that the natliavo
had bolted,carrying the weapon with him. Wilmotie pfi_eawy.
