THE SEQUEL.

Six weeks after the hanging of
Abram Lewis, Henry Wilson, the
hOstler, whose testimony had been so
damaging to the unfortunate man,
told his employer that an. uncle had
died in Lincolnshire and left him a
sum of money. Wilson
gave his associates treat and started
At the end of month
he returned clad in mourning and
took up his abode as a guest at the
inn where he had served for three
years as hostler. He appeared to have
a plenty of money and soon made
host of friends. He was a medium
sized gOodlooking young fellow of
twenty-six, and well dressed as he

proved, first of all, that he was a
man of good character, bringing up
his family in responsibility. Then he
told his story. He said that on the
night of the murder he was on his
way from Norwich to the midlar
counties. About a hundred yardR
from the stone before referred to he
met man well muffed up; the man
passed him, and the peddler walked
on. He sat down on the stone to rest,
and filled his pipe. The paper i'll
which he carried his tobacco was worn
out, and he looked around to see
whether there was anything lying
near he could substitute for it.
BETWEEN THE EsToNEAND THE HEDGE
he saw what he supposed was an old
hat. He picked it up, tore out the
lining and wrapped his tobacco i'll it.
| As he did this, he saw the man whom
he had passed just before coming to-
ward him. When the man got close
| to him, he said:
"Friend, do you want to earn cOu-
pie of shillings?"
~ always want to earn money" "
the peddler replied.
"If you will carry a message to the
house on the hill, there" the man
said, II will give you ten shillings."
"What is the message ~ the ped
! dler asked.
'I live there" the man said, "Go
and tell the folks ] have forgotten
some important business, and am 60
ing back to Norwich, and won't be
! home, perhaps, until tomorrow"
The peddler agreed to go and carry
! the message, and the man gave him
the money wrapped in piece OF
newspaper. That was the money and
paper found in his box. He took the
/ message, as before sworn to in evil
dence by
MRS. BELL AND HER DAUGHTER.
After eating supper at the inn the
peddler, according TO his story, went
| into the yard and filled his pipe. Then
Inc transferred the rest of the tobacco
to his waisteoat pocket and threw the
yvrau,,er-the lining which he had tai
Ken out of the hat he had FOUND by
the stone-upon the ground, where ii
was subsequently, found. The ped
dIer said that, seeing the farmer
around i'm the inn yard, he asked the
bostler where he lived, whether he
was well Off and whether he had any
children, with the sole purpose oi
finding out whether i would be worth
while visiting his resideaco for the
purpose OF selling his wares. As tC
the knife, he admitted that it was his
and that he had lent it III the hostleI
to bore IA hole with the day of the
murder; but he also solemnly averred
that the hostler had never returned il
