The Fen.an Assassination in Bloomsbury

During the interval that has already elapsed since
the last examination of Groves at the Bow-street
Police-court the police, under the direction of
Superintendent Searle and Inspector Thompson,
have been unceasing in their endeavours to discover
the second man who was in company with the
villain that fired the shot which caused M'Dounell's
death. Every spot at which it has been thought
likely anything relative in the slightest degree to
the assassination bad been visited, and certain
facts have been elicited that it is hoped will
in the end lead to the discovery of the
actual murderer. The most important fact
that has occurred in the discovery of the police,
not very far from the corner of Vernon-place, of a
large beard and moustache, which corresponds
exactly with the description given by all the persons
who were enabled to speak of the personal appear-
ance of one of the men who followed i\l'Donnell on
the night of the murder. The false beard, which is
of a light flaxen colour, and five or six inches long,
is in the possession of Inspector Thompson, and
steps will be immediately taken to procure, if
possible, information as to the place at which
it was purchased. It is intended imme-
diately to advertise a minute description of
the article, and to call upon the hairdressers and
perfumers of the metropolis to forward a descrip-
tion of the person who might have purchased such
an article. The police have also watched for the
last few days several public houses known to be
frequented by members of the Fenian brotherhood,
but beyond taking note of the personal appearance
of some of these visitors and quietly discovering
their place of residence, nothing has yet been dis-
covered beyond the fact we have above announced.
Groves, since his last examination, has regained
much confidence, and to all who have visited him
since he has been in the House of Detention he
strongly denies any participation in the assassina-
tion of M.Wonnell.

A7TEMPTED MURDER OF A TOLICEMAN
LOUD WA7ER.

Yesterday morning the inhabitants of the quiet
Buckinghamshire village of Loudwater were thrown
into a state of considerable excitement by a das-
tardly attempt at murder committed about eight
o'clock. From inquiries upon the spot it has
been ascertained that a police-constable named, it
is understood, Deacon, keeper of the lock-up at
Wycombe, in pursuit of a man whose apprehen-
sion was desired, left the latter place by the 8 5 a.m.
train, and arrived at the Loudwater station of the
Aylesbury branch of the Great Western Railway at
812 a.m. The constable was in plain clothes, and
while the train was stopping at the station, chanc-
ing to look out of the carriage window he saw
the man he was in quest of walking upon the plat-
form. Mr. Rimes, the station-master, had just
issued a Victoria-station ticket to the man in ques-
tion, who, on being recognised by the constable,
turned to leave, and was accompanied by the latter.
As the man went out of the wicket he gave up his
Victoria ticket to George Rimes, the son of the
station-master. When the two got outside into the
station-yard the man ran away, but was overtaken
near a long wall attached to the village post-office,
in the occupation of Mr. Saunders, who at the time
of the occurrence was sitting at breakfast with his wife.
While looking through the window he saw two men,
as he thought, wrestling with each other, and as they
seemed both to be respectable he did not interfere.
Presently he saw one of them draw a knife and
stab the other, and on going to the door to render
assistance both men ran past him. It seems that
when the constable attempted to arrest the man
upon his overtaking him the latter stabbed him
several times, wounding him on the arm and various
parts of the body. Weakened by the extreme
hastnorrhage the constable was easily thrown, and
then his assailant made off as quickly as possible.
The constable attempted to follow, but was un-
able, and eventually stopped, bleeding and faint,
near the Happy Union inn, the landlord of which,
Mr. Partridge, with other assistance, got him into
a cart. Mr. Partridge then drove the wounded man
to Wycombe, about three miles distant, where the
injuries iwere attended to by Mr. Turner, a sur-
geon, and where Deacon lies in a most dangerous
condition. In the meantime, William Partridge,
a boy of about 15 years of age, the son of the land-
lord
Union, mounted a pony, and
wentor
after the
thilapempiysereant and gave information to
l
the police at Wooburn-green and Beaconsfield. As
the boy on his return came out of Beaconsfidld he met
the man who had attempted to murder the con-
stable, and who regarded him somewhat curiously.
He disappeared soon afterwards over some railings,
and the boy went and told the. Thaconstield police
of the circumstance. The man was eventually run
down and captured in the morning, and taken first
to Wycombe, and in the evening to Aylesbury. It
appears that the constable wanted him for a rob-
bery which he had committed at a publichouse in
Wycombe, where he had been. staying, and where
he had stolen a watch and some money.

THE CONDEMNED CONVIC2S WIGGINS

The exertions that have been made to procure a
commutation of the sentence of death in the case
of Wiggins have been fruitless, at least up to a late
hour this afternoon. No instructions have yet
reached any of the officials at the Home-office that
the Secretary of State for the Home Department will
interfere to prevent the sentence of the law being
carried into effect in both cases as originally axed,
on the 15th.

TAEFENIAN OUTRAGEAT MANCHESTER

The lecturer 111gAuliffe was brought before the
magistrates at Manchester yesterday, having been
remanded from time to time since the 18th of Sept.
It will be remembered that on the 18th, after the
remand of Kelly and Deasy, but before they were
taken to the van, two men attracted the attention of
the police as evincing active sympathy with the
Fenians. One of these men, AP.Auliffe, was seized
by a policeman, at whom (according to the police-
man's statement) he aimed a blow with a dagger.
It was supposed after the attack on the van that he
would prove to be connected with the plot which
ended in the rescue. The police, however, have failed
to get any evidence as to the plot except what re-
ferred to its execution, and no complicity of the
prisoner with it has been shown. Yesterday the only
additional evidence given was that the prisoner was
seen in company with the woman who brought
Kelly's dinner on that day before the rescue, and
who afterwards shook hands with Kelly on the way
to Albert-street station.
Mr. Fowler said under the circumstances he should
be obliged to discharge the prisoner, and he was ac-
cordingly allowed to leave the court.
