Wilful Murder near Wolverhampton.

Yesterday a coroner's jury returned a verdict of wil-
ful murder against the young man John Jeavons, ho
had been arrested on the charge of having caused
the death of three colliers, by cutting the rope by
which they were descending to work at the colliery,
and of which he himself was the engineer. Jeavons
had been previously committed for trial for wilful
murder on the same charge by the magistrates at
Bilston, in whose division the offence occurred.
The evidence against the prisoner was conclusive
that he had given expression to his determination
to wreak vengeance upon the butt), or con-
tractor of the pit, because he complained of
him to his employer, Mr. Wright. Somewhat
similar threats had been uttered respecting one of
the deceased, who was a brother of the butty.
Happily, however, for the butty, he did not descend
into the pit with the first company, which was corn •
posed of deceased. The prisoner was shown to have
been on the colliery until a late hour on the night
before the outrage was fatally revealed, and he
brought no evidence to rebut the statements that
had been made against him. On the contrary, he
made a statement of the most improbable character
to the effect that the engineer who succeeded him at
the pit remarked to him " They can't do anything
to you for the rope. It was I who cut it."
The principal testimony given against him yes-
terday was to the effect that after Mr. Wright had
complained to ..Lim of not having done his duty on
au occasion some days before the murder, he further
threatened the butty, and added "If I know when
lam going to leave I will do the devil," On being
asked whom he meant, he said " the butty,"
The Coroner called the attention of the jury to
the strong circumstantial evidence that had been
given against Jeavons, and to the fact of his not
having tendered any evidence to rebut it.
Afcer consulting about 40 minutes, the jury found
that the rope had ben maliciously cut by Jeavens,
and the coroner entered the verdict es one of
" Wilful Murder" against the man named.
