TIE MURDER 11V NOTTINGRAMSILIRE

The adjourned inquiry into this most painful case
was resumed yesterday at Walkeringham, before
the deputy coroner, Mr. Burnaby (coroner for the
district) being present.
Mr. Gee. Jones, solicitor (Newton and Jones,
Retford), appeared to watch the inquiry for the
prisoner.

- Evidence corroborative of the statements which
have already appeared was given.
John Cooper, police officer, was examined, and
said,—l received information of the murder about
seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, saw the body,
and took the cravat off the neck. In company with
Policeman Kew, went first to Mr. Henderson's
and then to John Fenton's. I said to Fenton,
" Where have you been this morning, your boots
look very wet ?" He replied, " I've been up the
garden." I asked to see the clothes he wore on
Tuesday. He said he had these (clapping his
hand on those he wore) trousers on. I thought his
mother answered, "No, John, they are in the water."
He (witness) then went into the brewhouse and
found in a bucket these (the trousers produced). I
told him I should take him into custody, when he
said, " 0 Lord, Cooper charges me with murdering
Spencer." In the prisoner's waistcoat pocket I found
two pistol bullets and five gun caps. After search-
ing upstairs I came down into the brewhouse, and
under the sink I found a tin bucket, in which were
these overalls. The water was discoloured, being
slightly red. Prisoner's boots looked as if they
had been washed.

John Kew, police-officer, gave similar evidence.
—I searched the body of the deceased, and found
there had been a dirty hand in the right-hand
pocket of the trousers. The left was turned out, as
was an inside or secret pocket. I saw some pistols
found with deceased, on one of the nipples of which
was a spent cap. While I had charge of Fenton in
the room, he picked the trousers up, and tried to
push by me to get out. He seemed agitated.
Robert Sandford, superintendent of the Retford
police, received on Wednesday morning, from Ser-
geant Cooper, John Fenton, who said he had been
to Gainsborough market, and being " near fresh,"
got home about eleven o'clock, coming along the
road as stated. He said, after leaving James Fen-
ton, ho went home, and did not, after leaving him.
see Charles Spencer. I then charged the prisoner
with robbery and murder, and he replied, " I am
innocent of the crime. The clothes I had on yea•
terday were bloody, and my mother put them in
water."
The jury returned a verdict of" Wilful Murder"
against John Fenton.
