semhling the famous Maybrlck affair is now |
engrossing public attention here. On |
September stbere died at No. Gloucester |
Mansions, London, gentleman named Wei
don, aged twenty-ninc years. Three days
after he was buried at Woking cemetery,
but with his interment all interest in his
death did not terminate as a few days later
the brothers of the deceased expressed them
selves doubtful as to the cause of his death
and requested the home secretary TO order
the body to be disnterred to allow post
norton examination to be made. This was
done yesterday and the internal organs of
the deceased have been sent to the gov
ernment analyst for him to find

1.-THE main incidents in the case which
warranted the dstrust of the brothers of
the deceased an intimate friend Of the
Weldon family said to "a Herald correspond
ent to-day, "were that the connubial rela
tions of the deceased and Mrs Weldon are
not all that has been represented. He fire.
quently complained to his brothers On one
occasion he went to them with two black
eyes and good many bruises and said they
had been caused by his wife. His life was
misery to him. On another occasion he went
to his brothers late at night They sug-
gested that he should seek a separation.
There is something very queer about the cir
cumstances in which the marriage took place.
Mrs Weldon as she ls now called, was di-
vorced from her first husband. A curious
thing is that, Colonel Vernon, her first hus-
band, died month after she was married to
Ernest Weldon and is buried in Woking
cemetery"
"Does Mrs. Weldon benefit under the w il
of Mr.. Weldonln
"Oh yes, under the marriage settlement
and the will she gets about $4,000. 1t is
plain that she only married the nan for his
money. She never showed him the least
Kindness"
"What We're the circumstances attending
Weldon's deathw
well, they are very peculiar. : A friend
of the family heard of his death on Tuesday
and went to see Mrs. Weldon at Gloucester
mansion. He asked her when the death
ook place and when it was proposed to bury
the deceased. She replied that he died on
Sunday and that he was soldered down on

DIR. Grey yesterday informed Mrs. Wei
don's legal representative that a careful ex-
animation of a portion of the kidneys which
he took away with him, indicates that We'll

ment agrees with the certificate of death
originally given by DR.. Tarr.
Last night, Black, who Captain Lawler
alleges stole his boat, Neversnk, turned up
at the Herald office. He was IN new suit
OF clothes aHd state of excitement He
f1ourished a+copy of the Herald and some
documents, and with difficulty restrained
himself sufficiently to talk as slowly as two
hundred words minute. His story had sew
eral climaxes and each of them had an anti
climax that did not seem to amount to much
anyhow, and as he approached them he in
creased his speed till his talk sounded like
an express tram rattling through tunnel
ut the rate of mile minute. He repudiated
the suggestion that he stole the Neverslnk
He did not say anything about Captain Law.
ler's claim upon her, but he asserted
solemnly that the captain had no claim on
che boat or its owners at all. According to
his own showing Black is poor, prosecuted
innocent, whose one desire is to help Cap
tain Lawler and give HIM possession of the
Neversink. There are a lot OF people mixed
up in this business, but what all have
TO do with it, Black him.
self sald he did not know He
had had to pay Messrs Horsman & Butcher,
Mt Paris, 1900 francs for looking at the
Neversink two minutes and half daily, and
advancing Captain Lawler aud the two men
who crossed the Atlantic with him, money
when they ran short and according to Black
they were generally short. It was further
explained that Captain Lawler's agreement
with the owners of the boat had terminated
and that he, Black, was the accredited
representative of the Norton naval CON
structlon company and had right to take
her where he liked. He had taken her from
Cherbourg because the French government
trials OF her had concluded and he was
ordered to shift her so he applied for an
armed steam tug 10 take the Neversinls
out Of the naval arsenal ana give him all the
protection he wanted against the lnachin-
ations Of Captain Lawler. This was done
aud he put some one on board with sealed
orders and away she went TO Cowes and
Captain Lawler, like Lord Ullin, was left
lamenting and cursing. Black practically
narrated that he clothed the gallant captain
and his crew, the latter, in a suit OF ord-
nary clothes, and the captain in uniform
costing tlo ne alsO palu their nOtel DlllS

Ono minute he said Captain
Lawler could come and take possession of
the Neversink on October Is. aud the next
minute he SAID If Captain Lawler did come to
England no could have him arrested for OBJ
taining money by false pretenses, though
what the pretensos were he did not explain.
