FURTHER PARTICULARS.

On Monday morning a cabman named Jonathan Mat-
thews was taken to the Harrow-street Station, where ho
made the following communication :—" I lire at No. GS,
Earl-street, Lisson-grove, and am a cabman. Last night,
and for the first time, I saw a placard in the Edgware•road
having reference to a murder committed on the North
London Railway. I communicated certain information to a
waterman named Amos."

The following is the communication made by the cabman
before Mr Henry, the chief magistrate at Bow-street, yes.

"I know Franz Miller. Ho is a native of Cologne. His
age, as he told me, is 2d, and for some time past he has been
employed as a shirt cutter in the firm of Hodgkinson,
hosiers, of Threadneadle.street, in the city. Seven or eight
months ago ho commenced to keep company with my sister,
and as her suitor he was in the habit of coming to my house.
1 remember one Sunday in October or November last he
came to my house and said to me, You have got a nice hat,
where did you get it from P' I told him I had bought it from
a man named Walker, a hatter, in Crawford-street. Muller
said,' Well, I should like to have one like it.' I said, ' Well,
try this on,' and he did so, but found it too tight for his head.
I then said, ' I know your size now, and I will get one for
you.' I did so, and the following Sunday he came and took
it away. Some time afterwards he came to my house again,
when I said, How well that hat wears ; I have had three
hats since then.' I laid hold of the hat, and noticed on the
inside brim a peculiar thumbmark, caused by the hat being
put on and taken cff by the hand at one particular spot.
The hat produced (the one found in the railway carriage)
is the same, and I could swear to it. Last Monday week
Muller visited my house and saw my wife. After paying
her the usual compliments he took a box out of his pocket
and pulled out of it a gold chain, which ho said he had paid
£3 10s. for that morning. Ile then fixed the chain on a
watch and gave the box to my child to play with. [The box
was produced, and identified by Mr Death, who was pre-
sent, as the one which ho had placed the chain in.]
then exhibited a ring which he had on his finger, and°7ll,i h
was similar to the one described by Mr Death. duller then

sprained his ankle. The lodger produced a pawn-ticket,
which he said be had bought of Muller. The ticket related
to the gold chain Muller received from Mr Death, and
which Muller had pledged in a pawnshop in Bow.
Mr Adams, the American Minister, way present during
the whole of the examination, and at his request a copy of
the depositious was prepared to be forwarded to the Home
Executive in America.
It further transpired in the examination that Muller
sailed from the London Docks on Thursday afternoon last
in the sailing vessel Victoria, bound for New York.
Last night at 9 o'clock Mr Inspector Tanner, Mr Death,
and the cabman started from Euston-square or Liverpool,
en route for New York by to-day's American mail. The
inspector wt s furnished with a warrant granted by Mr
Henry for the apprehension of Muller on the ehatgi of
murder, and he also carried with him letters from Bit. Mama
to the Executive at New Yyrk.
