L1vERPooL, March 17.-To-day gar

found yesterday. recognized the eldest body
as that Of 4 woman be had seen IN the back
yard of the villa AuR. 8, last. August 10 he
heard the children screaming, but paid no
Intention, thinking perhaps some Of the
children had been hurt. He never saw the
woman or the children afterward. Another
man recognized ths body AZ that of Mario
Deemlng, who had been in the employ Of a
Liverpool tishmonger. Williams married
her under the name Of Deeming, at that
time describing himself as mining enRi-.
neer. Williams and wife afterward went
to Hull, whore Williams was arrested con
v!cted Of forgery, and sentenced to one
years imprisonment On being discharged
40 married young woman in Hull, but
soon deserted her and returned to Marie.
Accompanied by Marie, Williams went to
CapetoWn, then returned to Birkenhead.
The man believed Williams was the Same
Individual who married young lady
named Mathesen at Beverley in 1890, as
sumlnR the name of Harry Lawson. He
then described himself rs a large farmer in
Australia. He gave a number Of valuable
presents to Miss Mathsson, deserted her
and absconded to South America. Miss

more facts brought to light the stronger
grows the belief that Williams is the most
consummate, cold-b -blooded villain tnis or
any other country ever produced. The
police believe he committed other murders.
The excitement caused by the discovery
OF the bodies Yesterday shows no signs Of
abatement 1t has been learned that Will
llams proper name is Deeminq. He has
a brother who resides in Birkenhead. and
who was summoned to attend the inquest
