MARLBOROUGH- STREET.

:THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, 1861.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

John Charles Franz, 24, a German, described as a shoe•
maker, was indicted for the wilful murder of Martha
Halliday.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine was specially retained with Mr
Robinson to conduct the prosecution. The Hon. G. Den.
man, Q.O , also specially retained, through the instrumen•
tality of the Saxon Embassy, with Mr. W. M. Best, de.
111
fended the prisoner.
• •

This case occupied the court a great many hours yester-
day, and was adjourned till to-day, but as the facts have
all been gi7en very fully, and very recently in the report of
the proceedings before the magistrates and the coroner,
it will le unnecessary to give the evidence in
detail. Tie unfortunate deceased was an elderly
woman, and .was the wife of a labouring man who
is in the service of Mr. Alcock, M.P. It appeared that
during the absence of the rector she was employed to take
charge of the rectory at Kingswood, near to which place
Mr. Alcod resides, and she was so engaged at the time she
met her death, which was on the evening of the 10th of
June last. There appeared to be no doubt that, by whom-
soever the crime was committed, the object in the first in •
stance was ?lunder, and that although in carrying out that
object the life of the deceased was sacrificed, all the facts
v ent to show that this event was not contemplated by them.
The murder appeared by the evidence to have been corn-
mitied on the evening of the 10th of June, but no
discovery tcok place until the following morning, when,
upon an alarm being given, some persons belonging to the
neighbourhood obtained access to the house and found the
deceased dead. She was in her bedroom, in her night
clothes, and 'cad evidently been disturbed in her sleep by
the intruders. Ths cause of death was suffocation. It
appeared that a stocking had been forced down her throat
so violently, as to carry along with it her tongue, that death
must have taken place almost immediately, and it appeared
that in order to avoid the possibility of her giving any
alarm her hands and her feet also had been tied with a piece
of strong cord. No property, or at all events only some
articles of trifling value, appeared to have been removed
from the premises, and the suggestion to account for this
was; either that the robbers were disturbed, or that, finding
the unhappy woman was dead, they became alarmed, and
precipitately retreated, without carrying their original object
into effect,but upon the room where the body was found being
searched there was found a pocket-book containing papers
that had evidently belonged to a foreigner, whose name was
represented to be Joha Charles Franz, and also a letter
showing that he had made an application to Mdlle. Tiet-
jens, the eminent vocalist, for assistance to enable him to
return to his own country, and that she had, very kindly, di-
rected him to make an application to the proprietor of an
hotel in London, who, on her behalf, would have assisted
him to carry out his wishes. This formed an important
point of evidence in support of the prosecution. The evi-
dence in support of the charge against the prieoner con-
sisted of a number of minute circumstances,- all of which,
according to the theory of the prosecution, tended to show
that he was one of the parties concerned in the murder.
The first portion of the evidence was brought forward
with a view to show that on the same day the murder
was committed the prisoner and another man, both
of whom were recognised as foreigners, were seen
in the neighbourhood where the crime was committed, and
evidence was given that on the same day the murder was
committed the prisoner and another man went to the shop
of a tradesman at Reigate, which is about four miles from
Kingswood, and pachased a ball of string. The prisoner
was positively sworn to as being one of the two men who
made the purchase, and it was proved that the string with
which the hands cad feet of the unfortunate woman had
been tied by her murderers corresponded exactly with the
string so purchased. The evidence then went to show that
the prisoner raid hit companion had wandered to London
where they took up their abode at a lodging-house at the
east end of the town, the prisoner giving a false name. Here
the parties seemed to have separated, and nothing more was
heard of the prisoner until several days afterwards, when
he was taken into custody by a constable of the City of
London police named Underwood upon the charge of being
secreted in a house in Old Broad-street with intent to
commit felony ; and it appeared that he then gave the name
of Saltzmann. Of ourse, by this time, the subject of the
murder had become hatter of notoriety, and a reward had
been offered in the Police Gazette for the discovery of
the murderers, and a description was given of their
persons, and a suspicion, it appeared, at once
arose that the prisoner was one of the men concerned
in the murder, and alter one or two examinations, the wit-
nesses were brought town from Reigate, and he was iden-
tified by them and committed for trial. After the prisoner
had been removed to heigate, in consequence of information
received by the police, inquiries were made by them with
regard to the pocket. look that had been found in the room
of the murdered woman, and it appeared that the prisoner
at length admitted he had given a false name when he was
first taken into custody, and that his real name was Franz,
and had at the same time said that his papers had been taken
from him, and it also appeared that he had made the same
statement previously to his being given into custody.
He did not seem to have, at any time, made an admission
that the papers that were found in the pocket-book belonged
to him, and he accounted for having given a false name
when he was first arrested by stating that he had heard that
a reward had been offered for the apprehension of a man of
the same name as his own, and he was afraid that he should
be supposed to be the guilty party. There were a variety
of other little circumstances that were relied upon by the
prosecution as showing the guilt of the prisoner, and
Mdlle. Tietjens was called as a witness to prove the circum-
stances under which the application for relief was made to
her, and to identify the document that was found in the
bed-room of the deceased, but she was unable to prove any-
thing that tended to show that the prisoner was the person
by whom the application was made, and the probability
p e
murderared to
it be
was really concerned in
the
wastha
htisifctoh prisoner
me
panionwho applied to this lady.
On the reassembling of the Court this morning,
Mr. Denman, Q.C., in an able speech, addressed the jury
a ,
for the prisoner. He contended that the evidence adduced
for the prosecution entirely failed to colnect the prisoner
with the murder, and that the prisoner's statement as to
his losing his papers had been borne Ott by the evidence
for the prosecution.
