His SISTER-N-LAW
Testified Against Murderer Desming
at Liverpool. -
HER SISTER AND HER CHILDREN
Were Last Seen at Rain Hill, Where They Ed
Gone to Live With Deeming 8. Dinhan Villa
He Was Then Colriing Miss Maihr.
Whom He Killed LatT On.

LIvERpoor, March 2s.-The coroners
Jury investigating into the deaths OF tbs
woman and four children whose bodies
were found buried under the floor OF DIM
ham villa at Rain Hill, continued its in
vestigation to-day. Among the witnesses
who testified was Bertha Deeming, Q sis
ter of the murdered woman who is the wife
OF Albert Deeming, brother OF the mur-
derer.
She gave evidence as to the marriage Of
her sister Marie 10 Frederick Bailey
Deeming, in February. 1881. Shortly after
the wedding Deeming went to Melbourne,
stating that he would send for bis wife 70
join him there. He did so, and nothing
further was heard OF them until last
April, when they returned 10 England with
four children.
Mrs. Frederick Deeming stayed with the
witness until the last Saturday In Suiy,
when she went 70 join her husband, stating
TO witness that they intended TO stay In
Rain Hill. Nothing further was heard OF
her or her family until the bodies were
discovered. In the opinion OF the witness
her sister, VINO was very much concerned
at what she described as the "csrryings
on" of her husband, had determined 10
bring matters 10 crisis by taking her
family 10 Rain Hill and establishing her,
self at Dinham villa.
AT this time, Deeming, under the alias
OF Williams, was courtidg Miss Mather,
and the arrival OF his wife with her fonr
children no doubt interfered with his
plans. The murder of his wife and children
followed. Deeming subseq aently married
Miss Mather and killed her az Windsor.
The Jury returned a verdict OF wilful
murder against Deeming. In their verdict
they severely criticised the action OF the
Rain Hill police, who, although every yoody
was suspicious OF Deeming. took no action
against him.
When the verdict was rendered the SUI
perintendent OF the Rain Hill police re-
torted that the residents had not communl-
Gated their suspicious TO the police.

"If obliged TO judge Whitman by con-

CONVENTION ARRANGEMENTS
The Hall Ready for Decoration
The Band That Will loot.

The contractors have practically COM
pleted their work on the convention
hail. All the seats have not been put
in yet, but the auditorium is ready for
them. A stairway or two OH the outside
of the building also remains to be put
up, but inside the building is ready for
the decorators. The contractors had
until the lst of May TO do the work.
The decorators will not begin work
until after the hall has been viewed by
the subcommittee of the national com
mittee next Thursday. Some members
of the committee on hall have tested
the acoustics of the auditorium, and find
that they are all right.
The local committee on convention
hall is now working on Il scheme for
lighting the big hall. Mr.. Travis says
that when they have The lights in place
they will be so placed that they will
bother no ones eyes with the glare.
The committee expects TO use about
seventy arc lights.
IL is not probable that NicOllet avenue
will be illuminated. The council will
not illuminate at the cost of the city,
and the business men do not feel like
putting up for it. 1t has been proposed
that the street be Illuminated by cleo
tricity instead of gas. 1t is suggested
that the cost would be less. as many OF
the stores along Nicollet avenue nave

could be utilized.
The committee on music has made its
decision. The Second regiment band
of Chicago will do the footing for the
convention. Prof. Danz thought that
he could not afford to compete for the
music, as he would be compelled TO
import good many men. he will
have all he and his men can attend 10
in filling private engagements in the
two cities during the convention. The
Second regiment band played at the
