THE MURDER AT LUTON.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Piper, the deputy-
coroner for Bedfordshire, resumed at the George
Inn, Luton, the inquiry respecting the murder of
William Bradbury, aged 48 years. The deceased
was a labourer in the employ of Mr. Sowerby, of
Petteridge Bury. On Saturday, the 3d inst., he
was paid his wages, £lBs. He expended in buy-
ing clothes, which he wrapped up in a bundle. At
25 minutes to 12 o'clock he left the Old English
Gentleman, a publichouse in Luton, as that was the
last time he was seen uninjured. At a previous
examination three bonnet-block makers, named
William Worsley, Levi Welch, and James Day,
deposed that at 12 o'clock they left the Royal Oak
Inn, Round-green, for the purpose of going out on
a poaching expedition. After proceeding up the
road a short distance they found the deceased lying
down at the side of it. He was covered with blood,
and they at once returned to the inn, and said they
had seen a man who had been run over. After
some further evidence had been given, Mr. Kitt
Tomson, surgeon, said deceased died at 5 o'clock on
the Sunday morning from the effects of a fracture of
the skull. The top and back of the skull were
broken, and the wounds were caused by a blow from
a heavy smooth instrument, such as a gun barrel.
He must have been struck a blow from behind, and
he had then fallen and injured his forehead. There
were two pools of blood in the road, one on the left
side and one on the right. Between the two pools
of blood the dust in the road had been scraped up as
if by a person being dragged along. On Thursday
week Superintendent Pope arrested Worsley,
Welch, and Day on a warrant charging them with
the wilful murder of the deceased, and also with
stealing from the dying man's person a pair of
trousers, two shirts, a hat, a waistcoat, and some
money. The three were taken before a magistrate
and remanded. The superintendent said that he
could disprove the statements made by the three
prisoners. They were not the first to give the
alarm, and they were 20 minutes with the de-
ceased's body before they were discovered by a
man who had walked from Luton. On Saturday
the police discovered the clothes that had been
stolen from the dying man, in
a field near the scene
of the murder. They were divided into two parcels,
and one parcel had been
were tuckedintoaandhethde other
elhoeOr
yards from where the menfound,
portion of the clothes was placed in another hedge
100 yards from that spot.
Yesterday Benjamin Scrivener, a labourer, said
that on the Saturday in question he went to the
Royal Round-green, at a quarter to 12 at
night Oak,
;he remained there five minutes, and left with
a man named Lawrence and walked to Stopsley.
They passed by the spot where Bradbury was after-
wards found, but they did not see him lying on the
road. They left Worsley, Welch, and Day at the
inn. It was about three minutes to 12o'clock when
they passed by the roadway where the deceased was
discovered injured.

John Lawrence, a thatcher, said that on the night
in question he was in company with the last witness
at the. Royal Oak. It was half-past 11 o'clock. He
left the house at five minutes to 12 o'clock. The
inn was then about to be closed. He did not see
deceased ]ying in the roadway, and if he had been
there witness must have seen him. Witness could
see the road perfectly.
Mr. Tomson, surgeon, recalled, said that he
thought it was possible that the wound inflicted on
the deceased could have been inflicted by the iron

winch produced. (The winch was an iron handle,
said to have been used in winding up machinery).
Day,-living at Stopslex, said that he is a
labourer. On the night in question he was at the

\Vheatsheaf in Luton. He left Luton at 12 o'clock.
He went at once from there to Round-green. When
