FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The girl who was said to have been taken into
I custody last night, for complicity in the diabolical
tragedy at Chelsea, is in the hafids of the police,
who, when the prisoner was brought yip to-day,
exercised their discretion, and made her a wit.
nese for the prosecution. She is of a very pre-
possessing appearance, And is a prostitute of the cotia-
monest elms, paralysed On the left side, andmaptge-
ther by deformity of mind and body a fit co ion
for the deep-dyed villain whose cold-blooded deeds
have raised a cry, ere this, throughout the length and
breadth of the land. She resided at Westminster,
and had not been long with the prisoner when the
cab arrived at the house, and Mr. Piper discovered
the blood on the bottom of the box ; then she fled,
hearing of the horrid deed, and was only
discovered last night. All the new clothes that the
prisoner bought her have been sold or pawned, and
she is now in a deplorable state. The police have
not any intention in charging her, but in their
capacity of public protectors, they have taken a very
wise' and proper course in keeping her at the Chelsea
station, so as to secure her attendance and evidence.
It does not appear, however, that she can throw any
light on the matter, but may explain the movements
of the prisoner anterior to the murder of the unfor-
tunate old housekeeper and the disposition of his.
clothes after the murder of the old gentleman, as
they evidently bore traces of the terrible crime in the
kitchen, where the old gentleman was probably mur-
dered.

The male prisoner is still kept handcuffed, and
presents the same forbidding and morose aspect,
rendered more hideous by his sallow face and maho-
gany-dyed beard and moustache. He was brought
from the House of Detention about 2 o'clock and
examined at 3 o'clock.

In reference to the discovery of the body of the
Rev. Mr. Heulin, which has intensified the excite-
ment already existing in the neighbourhood, we learn
that the police received intelligence which caused
them to renew their search for the body at Welling-
ton-square, and ultimately they succeeded in finding
the remains of Mr. Heulin secreted in a drain in
the yard which had some time ago been opened by
order of Miller, and left in an unfinished state.
The woman who was present in the kitchen when the
box was being corded, but who escaped directly the
facts of the case began to be suspected by the van-
man, has been apprehended, but it does not appear
that she is an accomplice in any way. The pri-
soner on being removed to Westminster Police Sta-
tion appeared to be in a very weak condition, and
the charge was read over to him twice before he
showed any signs of having comprehended what was
addressed to him, and on. the second reading of the
sheet to him the only emotion expreFsed was by a
slight nervous twitching of the lips. He appears to
be in a state of extreme prostration, but there is still
considerable doubt expressed as to whether he really
took poison or not; the fragments of a bottle smell-
ing of carbolic acid were found in his pocket, which
would seem to show that he had attempted to com-
mit suicide.
