The Murder at Sunning-hill Park,

Yesterday afternoon the police were still endeavouring
to discover the perpetrator of the clue! murder at Sunning.
hill Park, the seat of Mr P. H. Cru:chley. The lodge in
which Mrs Butler lived is one of those small buildings,
consisting of two or three rooms, which are usually placed
just inside the gates of the roads leading to the county seats
in the district. It. is a neat little place, with whitewashed
front, end a central door, on each side of which is a window.
In front of the house there is a pretty flower garden, sepa-
rated from the private road which leads to the mansion (a
mile or so &strut) by a low railing. The Fife of the lodge
is a rather lonely one, as it is about half a mile from Buck-
hurst-hiP, where, with the exception of a film some 'zoo or
300 yards off, are the nearest houses to the scene of the
murder.

From fu• ther inqu'ries it appears that Mrs Butler acted
as housekeeper to William Mancey at the lodge. Mancey
is in the employ of Mr Nelson, a racehorse trainer at Wink-
field, end on leav:ng home about half-past five o'clock on
Saturday morning to go to his work heard the old woman,
who was asleep in her room, and did not disturb her, and
from this time it is stated that no one seems to have noticed.
anything particular till the discovery of the crime in the
Course of the evening, when the woman was found in a
dying state by Kentish, the carrier. The murder seems to
have been committed with much brutality and violence, for
on the red brick floor just inside the door, where the pave-
ment has become hollowed with wear, there is a large pool
of coaulated blood, while ag.a!nst the door leading to the
kitchen, where the murdered woman seems to have laid her
head, there is a large stain cud splaohes of blood. The
body of the poor woman sow lies in the bedroom of the
lodge, which is in charge of Police-constable Hewitt, 15
Berks Constabulary, Who are the guilty parties is at pre-
sent a mystery ; but the police are said to be in pursuit of
two tramps, a man and woman, who were seen on the road
to Windsor a short distence from the lodge by Kentish, the
miler. There are also other rumours afloat, but till the
inquest takes place probably little will be brought to light
with regard to the pet petrators of this fou! deed. At pre-
sent it certainly would seem that the murder was not com-
mitted ;rem motives of plunder, al, though there was a
little money in the house, nothing was disturbed or broken
open. What is most singular is that the murderer or mur-
derers were not disturbed while in the act of destroying the
life of the poor victim, as the lodge is bounded by two roads,
one a private and the other a public one, along which per-
sons might be expected to pass at soy moment.
