WHITECHAPE I, TRAGEDY.  The evidence in this case, which is being evolved at the numerous adjourned inquests, is narrowing closer towards the one individual—Wainwright. Mr E. W. Freike, the auctioneer, whom Wainwright represented to the father of the murdered /girl as having gone away to Paris with his daughter, has been examined at length. His evidence however, is entirely of a circumstantial character. He denies emphatically every act of complicity ascribed to him. After speaking to the fact of Mrs King leaving her lodgings on the 11th of September, 1874, Miss Ellen Wilmore, at whose house, Sydney-square, she lodged, gave evidence as follows :—She always called Wainwright Percy King. She told me when she left she was going to 216, Whitechapel Road, to live there entirely. She was in good health and spirits when she ileft. I the same night removed the boxes and children to Stratford. I never saw Harriet Lane alive again. Sydneysquare was ten minutes' walk from 215, Whitechapelroad. Feeling uneasy as she did not come for her boxes, I went to see Wainwright. I asked .him, "Where is Mrs King ?" He said, "I have sent her down to Brighton." I said, "How strange! she has no clothes." He said, " I gave her plenty of money to buy a new supply, and I dare 71y you will hear from her in a day or two." I said I had lent her £2, and he kindly gave it to me. I had lent her £.l to get her wedding-ring and keeper out of pledge, and the other £1 for her laundry bill. John Kay, a blacksmith, and William Kay deposed to hearing shots on Wainwright's premises on September 11th, 1874,  The inquiry was again adjourn ed.  At the adjourned enquiry, Mr. Rogers, formerly a manager of Wainwright's, was examined, and iudentffied the prisoner's handwriting. plrs. Rogers, who was also exam;ued, indentifled the hair and ear-rings of Mrs. King, The evidence against the brother of the accused, Thomas 'Wainwright, who has been arrested, is also becoming stranger. Charles Sawyer, who was for some months in partnership with Henry Wain weight, deposed that after the dissolution, in January 1874, he discovered, in clearing out the office desks, a small packet of Cuical bullets, which Wainwright admitted were his. James Kv, a blacksmith, stated that when at work on premises adjoining Vine Court, he heard three pistol shots in the direction of Wainwright's premises. That was one evening previous to the 12th of September. William Kay, who was at work with the last witness, confirmed his evidence generally. Mr. Pettigrew, an ironmonger, spoke to having sold Thom as Wainwright a spade and an axe in September last, and he believed they were the implements produced. Medical evidence was adduced by Mr. Frederick G. Larkin similar to that given at the inquest, and the prisoners were again remanded, bail being refused. _  Mr. Disraeli arrived in Manchester on Tuesday, from Sanclriugbam, looking remarkably well, but did not - speak at Hoxton on Wednesday as announced.
