Blandford, Wimborne and Poole Telegram. — 1876-12-01 (Blandford, Dorset, England)

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.  -The spot where the murikr was committed has beee visited daily by hundreds, and deceased's initials have been cot in the tree which stands in the hedgerow where he body was found. Baker, it is well-known, has been a constant compution of the Hutchingses for the last eighteen months. He appears perfectly indifferent 38 to the consequences and to the position he occupies. Men said to answer the description of the Hutchingses have been apprehended on suspicion liming the past week, but of course have been discharged. On Wednesday a man resembling the father was aprehended at Colyton. He de:lined to give his name or to account for his whereabouts and was removed to Axminst,r. lie was taken before J. A. Knight, Esq., on Thursday, and, a servant in Mr. Knight's employ, who knows the Hutchingses, having proved that he was not one of the family, he was discharged. A man answering the description of one of the sons was taken into custody at ehippenham on Thursday.. P.C. Gilson went from Yeovil to identify him, but could not do so, and he also was discharge 4. On Sunday it was reported that the men had been seen in the neiAbourbood of South Perrott, arid several policemen searched a house occupietl by a man named Richards. who is supposed to have driven the murderers to Blandford on the Friday after the murder, but without success. Baker continues to be reserved, and persistently denies all knowledge of the affair. A mackintosh, said to have been worn by him on the night of the murder, is missing, but his clothes and boots are in poesegsion of the police. That the police have got one of the four men they do not entertain a shadow of doubt about, but the three biggest villians still elude the grasp of justice. It is confidently averred that the elder Hutchins was in Hardington last week ; but such a feeling of terror do these villians excite that the villagers round about are afraid to speak, and yet the villians are said to be at heart the greatest cowards.  A SEARCH OF THE WOODS 'Was nuele on Tuesday by upwards of 40 constables, the greater part of whom were conveyed along the line in a special train a distance of about two miles beyond Suttm Bingham Station, and, with another party, thrown into Pendomer Woods. A great deal of excite. ment was caused by the presence of so large a body of officers ; but the search was unfortunately of no avail, and the men returned to their quarters. The elder villian, Oeorge Hutchins, was in trouble in the days of the Old (*bellies, and was wanted for breaking into a barn at Hardington, but be managed to keep out of the way for acme years  Our Crewkerne Contemporary, who never loses an oppoitunity f bully-ragging the police, says "It begins ta lie taken tor gralited, with reference to the murder of Policeman Cox, that, as regards tlio detection if the murderer, the putiic are destined to have a sistond editimi of the Perrott murder, —that is, that • the minderer escapes scot free. The Tatum* ers are all paying emir:nous**. for a system of poliee altogether foreign to this imuiltry and, evidently, not adapted to its • wants and requirenent's.' But if Englishmen prefer the introduction of an alien system, for the sake of their own fancied 'convenience, they must take the consemience of • its failure. Under the constitutional system, every man , hang hi, own cons-midi:, the Ifardingtoti murderers would have been apprehended in twenty-four hours. The
