German :—" Dear Mother, here are five dollars—
little, but from a good heart.—Henry Matterigh."
The fact that the deceased's money was gone has
led many Persons to believe that a murder had
been committed. Now, when the body was found
the tide was two hours ebb, and long before that
time country carts may have gone down to the
beach, as is frequently the case, for gravel, or per-
sons may have been, as one was known to be,
looking for shells. It is not improbable that the
deceased was robbed' after death. The pockets of
his coat were turned inside out, and two front
pockets in his angota shirt were ripped open. We
may add that it is very doubtful whether the de-
ceased had so much money as has been represented.
The few words addressed to his mother lead to the
belief that he was poor. His clothes were scanty,
much worn, and oi the coarsest description. He
never paid in gold, always in silver, and his watch
was silver and not g old, as has been stated.
Had the unfortutiate man been murdered there
are three ways by which the body must have been
carried to the beach, viz., past the harbour, where
police are stationed alt night, down Augusta stairs,
where a coastguard 1:4 ,stationed, or by_Dumpton
stairs, where there is a nother guard. To suppose
that the man was murdered on the beach is con-
trary to all the evidenc e ; to suppose that he -wag
carried down past the gi tard is nearly incredible ;
or indeed that it should l lave been attempted, when
the body might so muc h more easily have been
dropped over the cliff.
The facts point, we tbdnk, clearly to the conclu-
sion that the deceased returned from America a
disappointed man, reduced in means, and that
this circumstance, affecting a brain previously
weakened by disease, 'led him to determine on
suicide. At first, intending to send his mother some
little money, he changed his mind, and. endeavoured
by the means we :have described to do away with
all trace of his identity, and thus lead his family to
the belief that he had perished at sea or in a foreign
land.
Melancholy as such a solution of the mystery is
it is some satisfacition to know that what at first
appeared an atroci, ous murder can be thus explained.
No circumstance that has happened for many years
has created so deep a sensation in East Kent as this
shocking affair.
The above expl a nation is unanimously assented
to by Superintendent Livick, of the Ramsgate
police, Superinten dent Pritchard, of the harbour
police, and Supe. rintendent Stokes, who
have conducted their inquiries with great energy
and ability.
