PROVED VALUE OF THE WIRE
Record Of First Telegram by Means
Of Which a Criminal Was
Caught.

The first case OF a criminal being
brought to justice by means OF the
electric telegraph took place a few
months ago after the extension OF the
system to Slough in 1874. A muir
der had been committed at Salt Hill,
and upon hearing OF the occurrence
the vicar Of uptoE-cum-Chalvey, Rev.
f. T. Champnes. was informed that
the last person seen to leave the
house was n man wearing the dress
Of a Quaker.
Mr., Champnes at once conceived
the Idea that the suspected person
had probably fed 10 London. and act
Ing upon this suspicion, fastened to
Slough station, where a man answer
Ing TO the description was seen by
the vicar TO pass through the book
ing office. Communicating his sus'
picions to Mr.. Howell. the station
superintendent, the latter caused a
telegram to be sent on.
This Is the telegram which raced
land boat) the train to Paddlngton:
"A murder has been committed at
Salt llill and the suspected murder
er was seen to take n first.class tick
ct for London by the train which
left Slough at 7 h. AZ IN, p. NJ. He Is
in the garb OF n Quaker. with a brown
greatcoat which reaches nearly down
20 his feet; he Is in tho last com
partment Of the second first-class
carriage"
The following reply was received
from Paddington:
"The up train has arrived and a
person answering in every respect
the description given by telegraph
anne out OF tho compartment men
toned. | pointed the man out to
Sergt. Williams. The man got Into
n New Road omnibus and Sergt. Will
liams into the same"
The New Road referred to Is the
present Easton Road.
1t Is but fair to add that tho mis-
creant, who proved to be a forger re-
turned from n twenty-one years trans
p~ortation, had already been discard
ed by the Society OF Friends. The
prisoner. Tawell by name, and once a
%well-known city man. was committed
to Jail at A~ylesbury and finally suf-
fered tho extreme penalty OF the law.
