HANNAH DOBBS AND THE EUSTON  SQUARE TRAGEDY.  We (Central News) have received from Mr. Pinkess, publisher, 286, Strand, London, an early copy of Hannah Dobbs'a confession of her connection with the Euston-square mystery. It is published in a pamphlet of 14 pages. At the end is a facsimile of Hannah Dobbs'a signature, together with a statement; also facsimile of her handwriting, declaring the story correct in every particular. The iuchtents mentioned by the Central News agency a week ago are fully set forth, and all the details connected with Miss Hacker's stay at 4, Euston-square, are very minutely given. Dobbs says—" I have written this book in order that justice may overtake the perpetrators of certain horrible crimes; to clear myself cf the suspicions attachingto me as the author of one of these fearful eeeds.; and t) make public that which the police, by prematurely charging me with the murder, prevented my making before the coroner, and which by vulgar abuse they stopped sae from saying after my acquittal." She calls :attention to the fact that everything she told the police was fully borne out at the trial, and she asserts that when the police move again in the ease it will be found thas she is eorrect in all her particulars. Dobbs states that she was at no time apprehensive as to :the result of her trial. She declares herself innocent. During the brief interval that the jury were considering their verdict she ate heartily of dry bread and drank a pint of cocoa. In striking eontraat to this was the conduct of Catherine Webster, the Richmond murderess, whom Dobbs met in the refreshment cell, and who was unable to partake of food. Dobbs narrates a portion of her past life, and admits it was far from right. The Home Office authorities still have the case under consideration, and have as yet issued no definite instructions to the police in the matter. Mr. Sewerin liastendorff has made a reply to the reported allegations of Hannah Dobbs. He says, " I have carefully read what has appeared of her statements, and they' are all a wilful perversion of certain circumstances which have taken place, so artfully strung together by her as to make them appear to really bear on the death of Miss Hacker. All the things she relates have reference to other dates and other facts which occurred long prior to Ilia; Hacker coming to our house at all. As regards h, r story obout a little boy, about ten years of age, being killed one night, and his flesh being given to Mr. Eiggenbach's dog, I never heard of it before, and know nothlng at all about it. With respect to her other allegations, I can only say that so far as lam concerned they are not true. I know nothing at all about them, and, for all I know, Mr. Findley, the American, whotlid live at my house, is alive now."
