THE MURDER AT NEWCASTLE.—Since the committal of
Fowles, some links of evidence have been found, which
strongly tend to connect him with the murder. We have al-
ready mentioned, that, when Fowles was in Mr. Cottrill's
custody, on his way to prison, he volunteered a statement to
the effect, that he had not murdered the poor woman. We
learn that be had previously made a like communication to
another person, Benjamin Tittensor, a special constable, who
had charge of him at Newcastle, and remained with him in
the room after the inquest, on the night of Saturday week.
The prisoner commenced talking, and stated that, on the
Tuesday before the murder, he contracted with the deceased
to board him for 9s. per week. On the next day he went to
seek work, but could not obtain any ; that at night, he went
into the house, and had supper ; there was another man (a
stranger)i in then ; they supped and slept together, until about
two o clock, when they got up. The other man got on her
bed, and throttled her. She made no noise ; and the other
man broke open the box, took some money out, and gave
him part of it; that they left the house together, the other
man accompanying him to Jankson's house for the coat he
there purchased ; and that they afterwards parted, the other
man, (a fiddler) going towards Macclesfield, while the pri-
soner proceeded to Birmingham. The statement of the pri-
soner having an accomplice, we think, will turn out to be a
mere fabrication. A fiddler from the neighbourhood of
Golden Hill, who had been in Newcastle that day, on hear-
ing the report, voluntarily came to the Newcastle police-
office, and clearly accounted for himself during the whole
night of the murder.
