London, England, 1864-10-27 00:00:00

walked with us on tho Sunday evening from six till nine.
George Blyth, examined by Mr Giffard—l am the hus-
band of the last witness. The prisoner used to leave home
with me when ho first lodged with us. We used to go out
at half-past 7to a quarter to 8. Daring the last week of
his continuing with us I left him at home every morning.
On Sunday, the 10th July, the -prisoner accompanied me
mad my wife in a walk to Victoria Park. On Monday
evening I did not 503 the prisoner when I returned home.
He did not come in till between 8 and 9 o'clock. When he
returned Haifa was with him. I noticed a gold chain he
had on. It was a different one to that which he had pre-
viously worn.
Cross-examined by Mr Metcalfe—l believe he hurt his
foot by a cart going over it. Ho wore the slipper on the
morning of Sunday. We walked during the whole of the
time we were out on Sunday. He wore the same things on
the Sunday that he did on the Saturday. I can't say how
ho was dressed on Monday, The coat now before me is
the one the prisoner wore when I last saw him. He was
always looked upon as a quiet, well conducted young man.
I never knew him to get into any disturbance. He told
me ho was going to America about a fortnight before he
sailed.
Elizabeth Sarah Repsch, examined by the Solicitor.
General—l reside at 12i Jewry-street, Aldgate. My hus-
band is a tailor. I have known the prisoner for nearly two
years. He formerly worked for a friend of my husband. I
saw him on the 9th of July last. His own watch and chain
I knew was then in pledge. I first saw him in the morning
about 12 o'clock. He remained with us all the afternoon,
and last recollect seeing him at our house about half-past 7.
I knew he had met with an accident. I saw him with a
slipper on, I went out and left the prisoner there with John
Haifa. Ile left one of his slippers at our house. I returned
home about half-past 8, and Muller had gone. I next saw
him on Monday morning between 10 and 11. He then wore
light trousers—on the Saturday he had dark ones on. When
he came in he sat down on the shopboard, and produced a
chain from his waistcoat pocket. Chain No. 2 I believe to
be the same. He said he had bought it in the docks, and
had given £3 lOs for it, Ho also showed me a ring with a
white cornelian stone, which he said he had also bought.
He had the ring on his finger, and said he had given 7s 6d fur
it. I noticed he had a different hat on than usually worn by
him. Ho had his old hat on on the Saturday when I saw
him. I remarked to him that he was extravagant in having
a new hat, when ho said his old one was smashed, and he
had thrown it in the dust-hole. My husband asked him
what he paid for it, and he replied 14s. 63. My husband
said " Why that looks more like a guinea hat.'! Muller's
former hat was very different from it. It had a merino
rim and was lined with blue and brown-stripped lining
The lining was so peculiar that I frequently was induced
to look at it. I have seen him place letters underneath the
lining. ..[The hat found in the railway carriage was then
shown to the witness, and she said to the best of her
belief it was the one she had seen the prisoner wear.]
Prisoner said Mathews had made him a present of the
hat. This was either in November or December of the
previous year. I never saw him wear any other, He brought
the hat on the first occasion. I saw it in a box similar to
that now produced. Oa Saturday, July 9, the prisoner,
to the best of my belief, wore the old hat (the one found in
the carriage). I know the prisoner had a single-breasted
overcoat, with a velvet collar. I don't think he wore that
on the 9111 July.
Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—The prisoner wore
the slipper th 3 whole of the Saturday, but I cannot say
whether ho left with it on or not. Prisoner was fond of
finery, and was partial about showing things, I can't say
he was fond of romancing. He told us he had told Mrs
Blythe that Messrs. Hodgkinson were going to sen I him
to America. I don't know the colour of the lining of my
husband's hat. Ihid a right, I suppose, to move Muller's
hat if it was in my way at home. That weuld enable me
to sec the colour of the lining, The hat was constantly in
my hand. I know Haifa. He has been in the habit of
coming to our house, I don't know the colour of the lining
of his hat. I cannot say whether I looked inside Mullet's
hat 30 or 40 times. I may have done so. I know
a person named John Methews. I did not see him until
after he came from New York, lam positive I did not see
him before he went. I recollect the prisoner refusing to
lend me Se. I don't think he said he could not lend it be-
cause he was going to buy a hat. Indeed he could not say
so, because he gave me the money. I said he did not lend
me the money in the first instance, because you put your
questions to me so rapidly. Ho never lent but one sum of
money. I don't expect to get any of the reward.
Re-examined by the Solicitor-General—lie had not the
same hat on on Monday, the 11th, to that I saw him in on
the Saturday. I recollect repaying the 5s I borrowed of the
prisoner. Ho said nothing about buying a hat. This
occurred after ho had shown me the hat he got from
Mathews. I have lent prisoner small sums of money, which
he has repaid. I don't think he borrowed anything during
the last week I saw him in London. When Muller first
showed me the hat I said " What a peculiar lining." I have
noticed him once place letters in his hat. I pledged a coat
for Muller to enable him to pay his passage to America.
He asked me to pawn it, I did it on Wednesday the 13th.
I pledged it at 131, Minories, I got 68 on it. I gave it to
Muller.

Godfrey Ferdinand Repsch said—l saw the prisoner at
my house on Saturday the St.h of July. He then wore a
morning coat and dark trousers. I know he had another
pair of trousers, new ones, but I never saw them after
the 9th of July. I recollect the prisoner coming to my
house on the following Monday. He then wore a new
hat. I said, " You've got a new hat." Prisoner said
he had had the hat a couple of months. I told him it
was a very good hat. I asked him what it cost, and he
told me 14s 6d, and said it was a good hat and worth a
guinea. Ho said he had worn it but two or three
times on Sunday. He took a watch and chain out of his
coat pocket.

Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—l have seen him
wear the clothes I saw him in on Saturday before that
day. I said, when I was first questioned about the clothes
the prisoner wore on the Saturday--I said they were a
mixture of black, brown, and every colour, and very
old. I did not ask him to come to our house early on Mon-
day morning to cut out some work. I know he was going
to America. I gave him leave to work up his clothes at
at my house on that account. Everybody who knew the
prisoner know he was going to America. I have known
Matthews fur some time, but I had not seen him for a long
time. The first time I saw him was at the inquest at
Hackney after he had given the information. I know that
two months previous to his departure for New York he
bought some new clothes.

Re-examined by the Solicitor-General—.l never noticed
the change of hat until the Monday morning. The trousers
put into my hand are the dark trousers I have mentioned.
I don't know that they were left behind by the prisoner
when he went to America.

John Haffa-1 have known the prisoner about 14 months.
I recollect the 9th of July. I was at Mr Repsch's on that
day. I recollect the prisoner being there. He left in the
evening between 7 and 8, saying ho was going to see his
sister. Previous to his departure from England I lent
prisoner 12s, on the Wednesday. He gave me a duplicate
of a gold chain as security.
The Chief Baron—What chain is that—], 2, or 3 ?
Counsel—No. 2, my lord.
Witness continued—l afterwards got a ticket of a coat
from Mr Repsch, which I got out of pawn two days be-
fore the prisoner returned from America. I sent it to
Scotland-yard for him to wear on his arrival in London.
I was perfectly awato he was going to America. I knew
he was home. I have seen him in possession of money,
both gold and silver, previous to the 9th of July. I
can't say how much, but I believe it was to pay his pas-
sage. Daring the time I have known the prisoner he has
always borne the character of a kind young man. I
have heard him say his sweetheart's name was Eldred,
and that she lived at Camberwell. When he went out
on Monday I saw him go out in a slipper. I assisted
him to the utmost of my ability to make up his passage
money. I never asked him how be had spent the money
I had seen in his possession. He did not say that he
had bought a watch and chain with the money. I will
not say he did not say so, but I ean't recollect.
Mr Robert Death—l am the brother of Mr John Death.
I recollect the prisoner coming into our shop on Monday,
the 11th. I don't think I ever saw him before.
Sergeant Parry—Aro you sure ?
Witness—To the best of my recollection, I never saw
him till that day.

Sergeant Parry—Look at the chain No. 3, There is a
link broken. Have you ever seen that before ?
Witness—No, I never saw the chain before. There is
something so peculiar about it, that if I had I should have
been certain to remember it. It appears to have been
mended. Such a repair would be sent to a job-
bing jeweller; ls. 61. would have been about the
price. Prisoner worn dark clothes when I saw
him, although my first impression was that ha
wore light trousers. The person who does our jobbing
repairs resides in Bartholomew-square. Tho chains are
generally sent to the makers for repair.
The trial was at this point adjourned until to-morrow
morning.
