ICE.  LIFE OF DAVID FILMORE. Bir,--I should just like a word re the amount of David Moore in this week's issue relating to mynit I lays read the whole through, and can only say that if the statements about other people are as distorted and false as than relating to myself, not much reliance can be placed upon the viols assetutt.  This, as many are aware, is not the first time each statements, with slight miationi, have been mad* by him about me, but as I was then a GoveMeent servant, I was refused the privilege of matradietion, but as I am now amended, I gladly tat* this opportunity of denying his lying. statements. When first I saw David Pilaus in Reading Police Office, it was in the presence of an inspector and two constables, and after satisfying myself as to his identity, I remarked on the work his march bad entailed upon me, but I thought it was now at an end. Auphing so brutal as talking about bang %Wad; and "ffaaains a six-feet drop' never so much as entered my mind My feeling at the time was one of symper47l nothing elm His statement about could get hold of a good poaching case or two is equally wild, as I never looked upon pooches hunting in the same light as the average policeman, and certainly should not have gone out of my way to hunt a poacher. His statement about Roberts being buried is quite true, and he might hare added "buried by me," but I never once suggested that he had killed him, and that for a very good reason. I did not believe Roberta to be dead, and took Pilniore's answer as • piece of bluff. fib statement about the gun is simply laughable, and that for two reasons, let, the gun was found the suns as the murder, not up a tree, but in the clia= i of their lodgings; aid, I have never in all my life fired out of a gun, have never desired to do so, and consequently never wanted one, whether good bad or indifferent. His statement re charging his with beating Illingworth with the gun is pure invention, as it never crossed my lips, and -Black Bill" was never once mentioned. When David Pilmore wee on trial, or rather awaiting his reprieve, I could understand the reason for ting these lying statements, but DOW that he is at liberty I am at • loss to know what useful purpose they can be expected to serve. As to whether he or I am lying, I lame that to all your readers, • in Kilnhurst and neighbourhood, who re known us both from children. Personally, I am as pleased as anyone that. his fearful punishment is ended, but I cannot help regretting that he should still find it necessary to publish these statements, knowing just as well as I do they are simply untrue. As I am not altogether unknown to the readers of your paper, and as I prim my character above all my own possessions. I shall esteem it a favour if you will give this, my denial, the same prominence as you gave his statement.—Yours sincerely WILLIE DYSON, Ecclesfield, Sheffield.

HORN, J.P., at Colchester. Police-sergeant Creasy put in the following voluntary statement made to him by the prisoner: "I did not kill my uncle, but I got someone to, and I told him all the money he had got in his pocket he should have for the job, and he got some more to help him; and after they had shot him I gave them a sack and halter. This Is all I have got to say, but I shall not split,—A. LHATHIRDALL" Farther information has been obtained by the police regarding the murder. A labourer, named William Cullum, who lives near Vine Cottage, the murdered man's house, states that at about nine o'clock on the Saturday morning, whilst standing in the road opposite deceased's house, he heard' the report of a gun, which appeared to have been discharged either in the house or yard. Leatherdale was last seen alive by Mrs. Caney, a neighbour, about a water to nine o'clock the earns morning. He then asked her when she would be ready to go to Colchester. At ten o'clock deceased's nephew, Arthur Leatherdale, came with tikaulres and cart, and she said to hies, "Is not your uncle going V' Tin nephew replied. "No, he is going'to /Calved= "—this being the nearest railway station. Mrs. Keg* Sortwell, nurse to Pr. Salter, of Tolle& bury, and- daughter of the deceased, says she visited her father on the 12th ot December, when hekaid : elf anything happens to me, you must take possesidou here.* Then pointing to a corner of theroom where' there was &hole lathe brick floor, he said—" You will find some money there." He appeared at that time to be very much worried about hie nephew, arid said, "He is a bad lad and a dreadful- liar, and I am sure he will fiet into prison some day." Mts. Sortwell says the declassed spoke in the same way on a former occasion, when he added, "1 will not shield him any longer, but if he does wrong, I will follow the law on hipa." Mrs. Sortwell also states that the accused vinited her at Tollesbury on the Monday, when he said, "I have news for you. Uncle has gone out for a month, or at any rate for a week or so, andhs.s sent me this half-sovereign." As it was not the old farmer's custom to take holidays, Mrs. Bortwell wrote that day to the deceased's brother at Wakes Cohn, and from him she received a telegram stating that Joseph Liatherdale had not been seen there. The same afternooa she went to fialoot, and asked the accused if he had heard from his uncle. "Yes.
