LONDON, April THE Globe to-day
says dressmaker, living at East End,
London, has recognized the portrait Of
Deeming as that Of the man who courted
her under the name of Lawson in au-
tumn, 1883. She says they We're walking
together on the night of September 18th,
and parted from each other at IL o'clock
The following morning the shockingly
mutllated bodies of the women Stride
and Eddowes We're found in the White
chapel district. The next day the dress
maker and Lawson had a conversation
about the murders, and the latter mad
vertently said: Look at the time: I
could not have committed the murders"
he Immediately disappeared, and she
has not seen him since.
INsoLENCE OF THE MURDERER.
MELBOURNE, April Although the
jury returned verdict of willful murder
against Deeming, he has not altered his
demeanor, and is jocular and insolent at
times. Every day additional evidence is
received showing that the man is entirely
devoid of conscience. although his braT-
cry IS questioned, as his victims were
women and children.
During the inquest yesterday the Coro-
ner read note signed Lilly The
writer said the Coroner must treat Deem
ing with greater impartiality. Ii he did
not get justice, the writer would take the
CoronerS lie IN open court. The letter
is supposed to have been written by a
crank, or to be hoax.
Despite his semblance of ease, Deem
ing, in periods Of abstraction, is visibly
haggard. He has lost flesh, and his feat
ures are becoming pointed. The jail
WardenS keep a close watch upon him all
the time, for 1t is believed he will kill
hlmself II he gets chance. He studi-
ously paid no attention to the evidence.
except at times when he laughed at GER
tain statements that were made.
The newspaper reporters were busily
preparing verbatim reports of the pro-
ceedIngs. and the reporter Of the Associ-
ated Press, who was present with the
correspondents Of other press associa-
tons, prepared his cable messages in the
courtroom. After time Deeming no.
tlced the messengers OF the cable COM
pany passing and repassing and asked.
What have people abroad got TO do with
murder committed here?''
When Miss bonneville, his Sydney
fiancee, went to the table to sign her tes-
timony Deeming called to her, saying,
Katie, come to me-" Miss bonneville
paid not the slightest attention to him.
In nearly every place that Deeming has
been he has shown a really valuable col
lection Of weapons of various types. At
the inquest he produced battle ak and a
knife which Sergeant Mullins said he
thought might have inflicted the wounds
that killed Mrs. Deeming.
In ali interview which he had with his
solicitor, Deeming supplied Mr.. Lyle
with abundant material for his defense at
the coming trial. The facts which he
gave dated from the time of his birth, and
include much information regarding his
infancy. During his conversation with
the solicitor the prisoner remarked,
The world produces moral as well as
physical monstrosities."
The line of defense which will be
adopted at the trial is probably that
Deemings nature received a ma
lignant impress prior to his birth
which has marked all his actions during
his life, and has left him mentally in
capable of overcoming the homicidal inn
pulses with which he has been afflicted;
in fact, that he was what the prisoner
himself had described as a moral
monstrosity.''
After the Coroner's Jury found Deem
ing guilty OF numbering his wife, his
trial was fixed for April 18th.
