THE CAI LTON MURDER.

NOrTINGIIAM, Saturday.

At a special sitting of the Nottinghamshire county
magistrates this morning, John and Mary Watson
were brought up on remand, charged with the wilful
murder of Mr. H. Raynor, at Carlton, on the 17th
November last.

Mr. Cranch appeared on behalf of the prisoners.
Mrs. Raynor (widow of the murdered man) and
her sister were present during the inquiry, attired
in deep mourning. The mother and sister of the
female prisoner were also in court ; they were accom-
modated with seats in front of the dock. There were
43 witnesses to be examined. The female prisoner
was said to be enciente. The court was crowded,
and considerable interest was taken in the pro-

ccedings.
Ann Raynor (widow of the murdered man) said
there had been a great deal of unpleasantness be-
tween her husband and the male prisoner about a
copper which the latter used for his own purposes,
but which was the property of her husband. Her
husband was a rent collector, and he had often to
put in bailiffs when rent could not be obtained.
J. Haywood said on the afternoon of the murder
the deceased came to his shop in Broad-street, Not-
tingham, for a chain and a padlock, and told witness
he was going to lock up a copper at Carlton.
Rebecca Martin, of Carlton, saw the deceased
enter Watson's premises on the afternoon of the
murder.

police-sergeant Holland said he had endeavoured
to ascertain whether anyone had seen Raynor alive
after he went into Watson's house, but had not
been able to do so.

Herbert Stevens, a railway porter, proved find-
ing the body on the rails.
Dr. Thompson made a post-mortem examination
of Raynor's body. The face, hair, and moustache
were saturated with blood. There were several
bruises on the forehead which might have been
caused by a poker (produced), or other blunt in-
strument. On the neck there were repeated marks
of strangulation. He had examined the hands of
both the prisoners, and was of opinion that neither
of them possessed sufficient strength in their hands
to have made the marks. He examined Watson's
clothes, which were in some places torn, as if he had
bean getting through a hedge. On Mrs. Watson's
dress there was blood, which was stiff and starchy.
Dr. Davidson, of Carlton, went to Watson's
house after the murder and saw Mrs. Watson sit-
ting quietly by the fireside sewing. He told her of
the murder. She said that Raynor had been at her
house at six in the evening. On going from the
house witness met Mr. Watson, and told him that
Raynor had been found murdered on the line. He
said he had beon shaved, and did not seem at all
confused. Neither of the prisoners were at all
excited.

Dr. Alfred Swaine Taylor, of Guy's Hospital, said
he had made a report of a quantity of articles, be-
tween 50 and GO, submitted fo him by Superinten-
tendent Palethorpe, The report he had given in
was a minute analysis of the articles. He found
spots of blood upon a lilac dress, a pair of corduroy
trousers, a woman's hood, a towel, a table, and
other articles. He examined a coat of Raynor's
and a number of hairs. One hair was that of a
cow, the other that of a dog, and the third that of
a human being. The blood on the dress, the
trousers, and other articles, had the appearance of
human blood.

Thomas Marriott said he never followed Raynor
from Nottingham to Carlton, or threatened to kill
him. He had a dispute with the deceased last spring
about the premises at Carlton, but it was settled.
Police-constable Offlow stated that he examined

the fields where the body. was found. He found
heel marks and covered them over. He also found
4d. in the hedge bottom. The grass on the fields
appeared flattened all one way, as if something had
been drawn over it. He saw the footmarks com-
pared with a pair of the prisoner's boots and they
corresponded. A number of twigs were broken in
the hedge as though something heavy had lain at
the top of it. The twigs were leaning towards the
railway.
Sergeant Brown said he was at Watson's house
on the morning after the murder. Mrs. Watson
had on an apron stained with blood and he took
possession of it. The poker was bent, and he took
possession of that also. He found several other
articles stained with blood. When the fourth pair
of Watson's boots were found there were two spots
on them. Prisoner looked at them very carefully
and said, "It is not blood, is it ?" This was before
the word blood had been mentioned by any ;one.
After some further evidence both the prisoners,
who declared their innocence, were fully committed
for trial at the next assizes.
