THE SAFFRON-HILL MURDER.

CLERKENWELL POLICE COURT—THIS DAY.
FINAL EXAMINATION OF GREGORIO.
Mogni Gregorio, the Italian, charged on his own confes-
sion of having stabbed Michael Harrington on the 26th of
December, of which wound he died, was again placed at
the bar for final examination.
The magistrate on the last occasion said the case was
very incomplete, and before he committed the prisoner he
should require evidence to show that Harrington had been
killed, as up to that time no such evidence had been adduced.
The prisoner had confessed to stabbing certain persons,
but who those persons were had not been shown. Mr.
Inspector Potter accordingly was directed to have some of
the witnesses who were examined at the Central Criminal
Court in attendance this morning, but the difficulty that
was expected to arise was that all those witnesses would
speak positively to Polioni as being the man which actually
inflicted the wound on Harrington, of which he died.
The following witnesses were then examined :
Pietro Gugiana--I am a frame maker, and reside at 15,
Eyre-street-hill. I was at the Golden Anchor on the
evening of the 26th of Dec. last, and saw Gregorio there
between 6 and 7 o'clock. Polioni (the man convicted) was
not there. I went and fetched him from Bordesson's public-
house.

Mr. D'Eyncourt—That is a quarter of a mile.
Mr. Lewis-100 yards.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—How long did it take you ?
Witness—Two minutes. There had been a disturbance
at the Golden Anchor before I went to fetch Polioni.
There were a great many parsons took part in the disturb-
ance. I cannot say how many, but Gregorio was one of
them. The row was in the tap-room. I brought Polioni
back with me from Bordesson's, but I did not go into the
Golden Anchor, but I saw Polioni enter the house. It
took me about five minutes to go from and return to the
Golden Anchor. We did not run back, we walked very
quietly. Before I brought Polioni to the Golden Anchor
I made a statement to him.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—That statement you cannot have, Mr.
Lewis.

Mr. M. Williams—Do you know the prisoner's brother ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Was he irrthe disturbance ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you know what the disturbance
was about ?
Witness—No; I was outside the house a groat part of
the time. I did not see the landlord struck. I saw
Gregorio there in the tap-room. I saw him come in. I
don't know by which door he entered.
Mrs. King—l am the wife of William King, andreside at
28, Leather-lane. My husband is a button-maker. I was
in the bagatelle-room of the Golden Anchor on the even-
ing of the 26th of December. I saw Michael Harrington
there at about half-past six. At that hour I saw him alive
and well. After that I saw him wounded, but I was not
present when the wound was given. I saw him taken away
in a cab. I cannot say how long it was after half-past six
that Harrington was alive and well. I was knocked—
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Who by ?
Witness—Polioni.
Gugiana, recalled—Gregorio, at the time he last saw him,
only wore a moustache. He had not the beard he now has.
Mr. Lewis (to Mrs. King)—Do you know the prisoner
at the bar ?
Mrs. King—l never saw him in my life before.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Where were you when in the house—
where were you standing?
Witness—Near the bagatelle room.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—And there you were knocked down ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Look at the man at the bar, and then
then tell me, on your solemn oath, whether you are pre-
pared to swear that he is not the man who knocked you
down?
Witness—Yes. I never saw him in my life.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Who was it, then, that knocked you
down ?

Witness—Polioni.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Of that you aro certain ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—And you swear solemnly you never
saw the prisoner in your life before ?
Witness—Yes.
A number of Italians were called and proved that on the
night of the disturbance at the Golden Anchor the pri-
soner, Gregorio, only wore a moustache, and not the beard
that was now on his face.
Mr. D'Eyncourt suggested that, a barber might be sent
for and that the prisoner might be shaved.
This was accordingly done, and while the prisoner was
undergoing the process
The lithographer who had furnished a plan of the pre-
mises of the Golden Anchor was examined, and said that
in the event of all the doors not being shut he should think
that he might be heard in the bar parlour. If a challenge
had been given in a loud tone by those in the bagatelle-
room to those in the tap-room, in the event of the place
being ordinarily quiet, it must have been heard in the bar
parlour.
The prisoner, on his re-appearance, without the pro-
fusion of hair that previously was on his face, presented
quite a different appearance, and looked some five or six
ysars younger.
Mrs. King was recalled.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Now, look at the prisoner. Is that the
man that knocked you down ?
Witness—No. That is not the man.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—You are certain ?
Witness—Quite.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you ever hesitate about the per-
son who did strike you down ?
Witness—No, never.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—And that is not the man ?
Wftness—No. I swear positively he is not the man.
Alfred Rebbeck—l am potman at the Golden Anchor. I
know the last witness, and I know Polioni.
Mr. Lewis—Was he the person who knocked Mrs. King
down ?
Witnos—l don't know; I'm not sure.
Mr. Lewis—But you have said that ho was not.
Witness—l don't know ; I'm not sure.
; have I y caom u r
t not_ sureou
already Mr. D'Eyncourt—You said positively on a former occa-
sion that he was not the person.
W
Mr. Lewis—Did you sea kilow.
Mr.i t n
De sTs —ysworn positively
that he was not the man.
Michael Harrington in the
bagatelle-room.
Witness—Yes, and Polioni on the top of him. I don't
know that he was wounded. I was about to lift him off
when I lost my senses. Gregorio was not in the bagatelle-
room at all during the row.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Now, was Marazzi in the bagatelle-
room ?
Witness—No.
Mr. D'Eyncourt--Do you undertake to swear that ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Lewis—You know Marazzi. Was he in the baga-
telle-room ?
Witness—No.
Mr. Lewis—You solemnly swear that ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—You swear he was not there at all ?
Witness—Not up to the time. that I was knocked down.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Do you swear that he was not there
at all, or, that you did not see him ?
Witness—l mean that.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Which do you mean ? Was he not
there, or did you not see him ? If it has been sworn that
he was in the room by other persons, which do you mean
to say—was he not there, or was it possible that he might
have been there without your seeing him ?
Witness—Well, he was not there, of that I'm positive,
By Mr. M. Williams—l was sent out of the bagatelle-
room to get some sticks, as I was told there was going to
be a row. I went to the tap-room, and I found the Italians
all raving—holding up their hands. There was no row
then. There was, however, swearing and fighting going on.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—l must caution you about your speak-
ing the truth. You seem to be very uncertain, and just
now you said that which was not true. You must really
remember a man's life is at stake. Don't trifle and hesitate.
If you are not certain, say so ; but by all means speak the
truth.

Witness—l was told before the row commenced to get
out of the way, or I should get served out. I afterwards
went into the bagatelle-room. Harrington was then sing-
ing a song. I told those inside that there was going to be
a row with the Italians. They said, " Nevermind; if they
come in here we will protect ourselves." Some one said
to me, " What are we to do if they come In here with their
knives ? We have only got our hands." I went out and
got some sticks—about five or six. I handed them up
through a cupboard. The Italians were all at the top of
the stairs.
Mr. M. Williams—You have sworn that Gregoria was
not in the bagatelle-room when the row began. Now, if
you were about for some time getting a quantity of sticks,
how can you say he was not there at all during the row ?
Witness—l am speaking of the row in the tap-room, not
that in the bagatelle-room. When I got upstairs the
Italians were trying to get into the bagatelle-room. I saw
Mrs. King fall just as I entered. I saw some one draw his
hand back. I don't know what became of the sticks. I had
a stick in my hand.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—When you ran up to the door and saw
Mrs. King fall ?
Witness—No, not then.
13y1Mr. M. Williams—l went in and saw one on the seat
and took it up. After I was stabbed I saw the English
strike the Italians. I was stabbed before Harrington. I
went up to Polioni, and said we want no row here, and
he stabbed me in the side. I then took up the stick.
They were fighting then. I hit Polioni on the head, and
ho then ran iuio the room.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Why did you not go and tell the
landlord, in preference to going for the sticks ?
Witness—l didn't think of it.
Mr. D'Eyncourt —Did you see a man put his head down
and make a rush to get into the bagatelle room ?
Witness—Yes, and I hit him on the head before he ven-
tured. That was Polioni.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—You are certain you strncls Polioni in
e passage and not in the room ?
Witness—Yee.
