About midnight on Saturday a brutal fratricide was perpetrated at the thriving manufacturing village of Clayton West, which is situated about five miles from Barnsley, on the Barnsley and Huddersfield-rona Tl-“, hnl rid deed was committed by a man named James Wharam, 29 years old, who is now in custody on the charge of wilful murder, and who was employed as a worsted dyer, at the factory of Messrs. J. Norton and Son, of Clayton West. His brother, a quiet, inoffensive man, named Jeremiah Wharam, aged 36, was also in the employ of Messrs. Norton as a stuff presser. It appears that fur some time past the brothers had not regarded each other with the most friendly feeling, and on previous occasions the prisoner had been heard to threaten to stab his brother. On Saturday night the deceased went to the Commercial Inn, Clayton West, where he had four glasses of ale. James Wharam came into the house a little after 11 o'clock, but had nothing to drink, and walked about from one room to another. A little before 12 o'clock, the decased left the house, and passed the prisoner, who was at the yard end, and who after they had got about 15 yards from him, called out, " Go home, Shoddy." The deceased then said to a man named Horsfall, " That word's enough to go back for," and he turned round and went back immediately. A scuffle ensued between the brothers, and in it the prisoner drew a knife and stabbed the deceased in ten different places. Horstall and others, on hearing the scuffle, went up to the parties and pulled the prisoner away, when the deceased, after uttering the words, " I am stuck in many places ; I am a dead man," dropped upon the road. He was lifted up and he never spoke afterwards, but expired as he was being carried home. Mr. Rowley, surgeon, was immediately called in ; but on his arrival, the deceased was quite dead. On examining the body he found no fewer than nine incised and punctured wounds on the left side of the chest ; one of which wounds, passing between the eighth and ninth ribs into the left auricle of d e r heart ewr pa se t rsautffii ncgi e nt ht st of reaat ur iscei dde,e a t h. went Thhe omme u tU bed, where he was apprehended a short time afterwards by Superintendent Shepley, and Mr. Bedford, one of the constables of the district. He was then apparently asleep, and expressed the greatest unconcern at his situation. He was safely lodged in custody. The inquest was held yesterday (Monday, before Mr. T. Taylor, coroner, at tha Duke William Inn. After several witnesses had been examined, and had detailed the facts stated, the jury retired ; and after an absence of about an hour, they returned a verdict of wilful murder against James Wharam.—Manchester Guardian.
