MURDER IN
GENT'S-PARK

FREDERICK-STREET, RE-
%., FIVE YEARS AGO.

From Yesterday's Times.)

Many strange and very contradictory statements being cur-
rent relative to a clue hating at length been obtained which,

as alleged, Will, in all probability, have the effect of causing
the speedy capture of the murderer of Eliza Davis, who was
barmaid to Mr. Wadley, landlord of the King's Arms, Fre-
derick-street, Regent's-park, our reporter has instituted a
most diligent inquiry as to what has recently really taken
place relative to this dreadful affair, and the result is as
follows:

It a

Good had killed the woman, he
did not think much the worse of him for that ; after a brief
silence, he asked Mr. Wadley he was not in that place
where Eliza Davis was murdered, and on his being replied to
in the affirmative, he made some observations which were
not clearly intelligible, with regard to to the blood found on
supposed to have been

in so strongly suspected of having committed the
modeller of plaster, and that from his frequent avri-
ng's Arms for months prior to the discovery of
transaction his person was well known to Wil-
Wadley was also of opinion that he should be
im at any future period should he chance
to meet with Miro. The man made some further remarks
upon Good, and then asked Mr. Wadley if he thought he
should know the individual who he imagined had cut the
barmaid's throat ? to which he (Mr. Wadley) replied (look-
ing him steadily in the face) " Yes, I think I should, and
you 're as great deal like him youself." He seemed rather
confused and offended at this remark, and having finished
his rum and water, quitted the premises with some abrupt-
ness ; this was at half-past 12 o'clock. Mr. Wadley then
spoke to a constable on duty near the spot, requesting him to
keep a sharp look out, at the same time stating that the man
(giving a description of him) who had just left the house was,
to the best of his (Mr. Wadley's) belief, the murderer of
Eliza Davis. On the following day Inspector Aggs, of the S
division, m
nnreceived information of what had occurred, and,
after
timmeu'nicatin g with Mr. Wadley upon the subject,
lost no
in exerting himself to the utmost,
with the view
of capturing, if possible, the supposedguilt
person, but as
yet nothing more has been heard respecting him. It is much
lr
to be regretted that Wadley dick not act with more
promptitude and judgment 11? the matter, by detaining the
suspected man upon his mis until he had called in a po-
liceman, in which case suchP other steps might have been taken
as would have had the effect of setting at rest the question
as to whether his suspicions were well grounded or other-
wise. Aggs, who is acquainted with the whole of the facts
connected with the horrid murder, is still actively engaged
in following up his inquiries
relative to the mysterious affair.
