THE FENIAN ASSASSINATION IN
BLOOMSBURY.

The following appeared in our latest edition of yesterday
evening :

The prisoner John Groves was to-day again
placed at the bar, before Mr. Vaughan, charged
with being concerned in the murder of Edwin

Henry Stephens—l live at 47, Seckford-street,
Clerkenwell. On Saturday morning, the 28th of
September, about one o'clock, I was standing at the
corner of Orange-street and Kingsgate-street, oppo-
site Vernon-place. I had just left some friends, and
was crossing Kingsgate-street, when my attention
was arrested by a report of firearms. I ran in the
direction of the sound and went on until I caught
Farber as I thought'. He was running towards me.
I ran up to Farber and seizA him. This was in
Vernon-place. I asked him what was the matter,
and he asked for a policeman as his friend had been
shot. I let go my bold, and I went on down
Southampton-row, and then towards Bloomsbury-
square, where I met Al'Donnell, who was running
towards me. Ile staggered, and I caught him in
my arms. 21'llonnell told me to take his hand-
kerchief to stop the blood and then go for a doctor.
I afterwards saw 111‘Donnell taken away in a cab.
I did not see any person running before I caught
hold of Furber ; he was the first person I met
running in an opposite direction.
The other witnesses not being in attendance, Mr.
Poland applied for an adjournment.

Mr. Vaughan thought it only fair to the prisoner that
his counsel should, under the circumstances, now have an
opportunity of putting some questions to the woman
Jenman.

Mr. Poland said the witnesses he proposed to call did
not carry the case against the prisoner further, and as it
was thought desirable that Mr. Sleigh should cross-exa-
mine the witness Jenman, he would accordingly call her.

The witness Ann Maria Jenman then entered the wit-
ness-box, and repeated with great exactness the evidence
she gave yesterday before Dr. Lankester, the coroner, and
which appeared at full length in our first edition yester-
day. Having stated the matters she knew in connection
with the case, she referred to the two letters she had
written on the subject, and also gave hor evidence again
in detail with respect to hor identification of the prisoner.
She stated to-day that a number of cell doors
wore opened, with them that occupied by the
prisoner Groves. After she had passed the cell
of the prisoner two more doors were opened, and then
the officer of the prison asked if she had seen any person
she knew. She replied, " Yes," and then Inspector
Thompson was sent for, and, pointing to Groves, she
said, " That's the man I saw with the beard on." On the
present occasion she added—" I am quite prepared to take
my oath that he is the man."
Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l was married at South-
sea five years ago. My husband was then a journeyman
butcher. After leaving Southsea we went to Chichester,
where we remained about 18 months. My husband then
came to London, and I eventually followed him. lam
now quite prepared to swear my husband has not had ten
situations since his marriage. I have not spoken to any
person on the subject of my evidence except going to
the Treasury, where I gave my evidence to two gentle-
men. I have nut refreshed my memory at all with
respect to my evidence. I will swear I did not read it
whilst I was in the adjoining room of the court this morn-
ing. It is true I was reading a paper, but I was reading

.13out the Frenchman who was to be hung this morning.
: cannot say the name of tho first publichouse we wont

into after leaving the Amphitheatre, and I cannot say how

far it is from the theatre. Tho publichouses we went into
were towards the City, but our home was towards the
West-end. The first publichouse my husband wont
into alone. He remained there about ten minutes,
and then we both went into another publichouse, and
stayed about 10 minutes. You may say it was quarrelling
if you like, but I don't think having a few words would be
quarrelling. My husband left me standing at the side of

the road. It was about half-past 11 when wo left the
Amphitheatre. lam quite certain. I did not say yester-
day that I saw the young men come out of the Bull and
Anchor at one o'clock ; it was about 20 minutes to one. I
can't say that it took us 20 minutes to walk to the Turk's
Head. I had no watch. It might be more, or it might
be less.

Mr. Sleigh—Did you not say yesterday at the Coroner's

nquest--

Mr. Vaughan—That is a very inconvenient way to
cross-examine the witness. I know nothing of what took
place thore from what has occurred here to-day. You had
hotter confine your examination to the evidence the wit-
ness has given here.
Mr. Sleigh amid adopt that courso.

The cross-examination of witness was then continued. I
She said—l am quite sure it was half-past- twelve when
my husband left mo in the first instance. I cannot '
swear how long I was waiting about outside the
Bull and Anchor. It might have been 10 minutes. I am
quite prepared to swear that I heard Groves make the
observation that he would shoot some person. I did
not hear the other person make any reply, although I
was about a yard off. When I got to the Turk's Head
I saw some people having a few words. I did not
thinkit was my duty on the Friday night to tell any per-
son that one of the men whom I saw go into the
Turk's Head public-house wearing a false beard was
going to shoot somebody. I might have said yester-
day that the two men and the three men came
out of the same compartment, because I did not know
there were two compartments in the publichouso. It is
possible under such circumstances that I might have made
a mistake about the door. I have not had my attention
called to the discrepancy between my evidence and tho
Guardsmen as to the door the men came out. I don't even
know now there are two doors to tho house. I am quite
sure, however, that the whole of the five came out of one
door. The cabs drove off as the five men walked away. I
deny that I was loitering about the Turk's Head. I went up
thereto see if my husband was about ; but my chief object
in going there was to see whether the man whom I had
hoard threatening to shoot some person carried his inten-
tion into effect. Notwithstanding all this it did not enter
into my mind to quake known what was about to take
place, neither did it occur to me, after I had heard the
pistol shot, to say to any person I thought somebody had
been shot. I deny that I told you yesterday that I did
not go out much after the murder because I wished to
keep myself quiet. I always keep myself quiet. I
now say again I do not go out much, and I still
say I keep myself quiet. I have been out with the police
fur four days in search for the other men. I don't deny
that, but that was last week. What you are speaking of
relates to the week before that. I never said that I read
the first account of the inquest in Lloyd's newspaper of last
Sunday week. I read something about the Lieutenant, I
know, on that day. I wrote to Mr. Thompson and signed
the letter " Harriet Williams," and my reason for doing so
was to give information with respect to the dark man. I
did not tell Mr. Thompson anything about the murder. I
said nothing to him about the fair man. I told him what
I heard the dark man say at the top of George-street, near
Grosvenor-square. My husband allowed me to say what I
knew about the dark man, but he has forbidden me oven
up to the present day to say all I know about the murder.
I told Mr. Thompson that I wrote the letter signed " Har-
riet Williams" either on Saturday or Sunday. was
afraid, when I heard the dark man say he was with
Groves when the murder was committed, to give
him into custody. When I went to Scotland-yard I
was acting under the direction of my husband, who strongly
objected to my saying anything about the matter. The
permission of my husband to speak about the matter, and
to say what I have said, was obtained by the police. How
I know that Groves' address was in Gilbert-street was
that I heard other people say so, and the reason I called
the prisoner Groves before the Coroner was because I
heard his companion on the night of the murder call him
so. 1 could not see his face well after he put on the board.
I looked at two
I was asked by the officer of the prison whether I could
identify him, and I said " Yee
men. after I looked at Groves.. He asked me
whether I could identify the man with the light beard,
and I said yes, but I was not aware that I had picked out
the right man they had got on the charge until I was at
the inquest. I never saw .a description of the prisoner in
the papers before I gave the description I did of him. I
don't know anything about a reward being offered in this
case. You told me the same thing yesterday at the in-
quest, but then I told you I knew nothing about it.
Re-examined by Mr• Poland—I first told the police I
was the writer of the letters signed liarr„
iet Williams" on
Saturday last: I found out Scotland-yard by inquiring of
the policemen. I was taken to Mr. Thompson's private
house to give him a description of molderark man. I have
burnt the letter with respect to any
.h's.death because
I have been compelled to leave my lodgings in consequence
of giving information in this case. The person who wrote
to me about my mother's death merely signed the letter
"A Friend." I don't know who that person was. I have
burned the letter, and I cannot tell who sent it me. All
that I know about my mother's death is from that letter.
I cannot say how long it is since. I saw my mother; it is
not 12 mouths. She was then living at Diss. Her name
was Harriet Haley. I always directed my letters to Diss,
near the iailway station. The prisoner I consider the
tallest of the two mon who followed the other three on
the night of the murder. I never 'have been in the Turk's
Head public-house.
Furber, Hitehins, and Bowler were then called before
the witness to ascertain whether she could identify either
of them, but she said she could not.
Re-examination continued—l first saw the three
gentlemen (111,Donnell and his companions) coming from
the direction of the Bull and Anchor, and then they turned
into Southampton-row.
By Mr. Vaughan—l came from my husband's friends at
Chichester, when 1 last arrived iu London. There was a
good light from the public-house when I first saw Groves.,
_ WOO cllOSfiOd iu dark cl9thes) Pad ha Yi'M 9114) cit the

an overcoat. I can only say he work dark clothes. I saw
a good many people come out of tho public-house before
the throe young men went in. They then came out,
having stopped but a short time, and then the two men I
have mentioned neat 'left the house, and proceeded after
tho three up Southampton-row. I never saw anything 1A
the hand of either of the two men.

Tho examination of the witness having concluded,
Mr. Sleigh applied for the admission of the prisoner to
bail on the ground of the great discrepancy of the evidence
of Jenman and Bowler.

Mr. Vaug!.:an positively refused such a request.
The prisoner was ag Lin remanded.
