AUGUST SALTZMAN." Both these letters were written in the German language, and neither of them contained an address. Among the papers found in the room where the murder was committed was a similar begging letter addressed to Mademoiselle Tietjens, and it would also be remembered one entry in the official book, accidentally dropped by the murderers, stated that the owner was a native of Shandau' in Saxony, the same place to which reference was made in the second letter made public. _ _  William kalliday (deceased's husband) was the first witness examined.  Prisoner (upon being asked through the interpreter whether he wished to ask the witness any questions) said,—l know lam charged with murder, but I don't know of whom.  The Clerk.—You are charged with being concerned in the murder of Mrs. Halliday. Do you wish to ask any question of this witness ? Prisoner.—l know nothing at all about it ; and. therefore why should I have any questions to put to this man?  Mr. William Bankford, the parish constable, and a grocer of Chipstead, was next sworn.—He stated that he was in the Cricketers Inn, opposite the Reigate police station, on Monday the 10th ult. The prisoner and another foreigner was there. They appeared to be in company, and when they spoke together they conversed in a foreign language. One of them left. The prisoner remained, and witness was with him for about an hour, and could not be mistaken as to his being the person. The Clark.—You are positive this is the man you saw at the publichouse ? Witness.—Quite positiv 3. The Chairman.—Let the prisoner turn round. Now, witness, are you still certain that the prisoner is the man?  Witness.—" Yes, Sir ; quite certain." Witness proceeded to say that he was called upon to go up to London, and see if he could identify the prisoner in Newgate ; and although he (prisoner) was placed among 12 or 14 other persons, he had no difficulty in pointing him out immediately. This evidence, like the preceding, was translated to the prisoner, who was asked whether he wished to put any questions to the witness. Prisoner.—l don't know that I have any questions to put, for I don't know whether I was ever in Reigate before in my life. Mr. Superintendent Coward was the remaining witness. He stated that he had apprehended the prisoner upon a warrant signed by Mr. W. Street. Although he had given the name of Augustus Saltzman, he had every reason to believe his right name was Johann Carl Franz, that he was the owner of the book found in the room where the murder took place, and that he was concerned in the committal of the crime. Mr. Coward then produced the book. It was noticed that the prisoner at once became exceedingly pale, and after looking at the book hung down his head, and apparently remained absorbed in thought for several minutes. The usual questions having been put as to whether he desired to cross-examine witness, Prisoner (through the interpreter) said --I should like to know from what reason he thinks I ought to be the possessor of that book. He was told that the description in the book strongly favoured that impression, because he resembled the person therein described.  Prisoner Alt has not any reference to me; and among so many Germans about here I think it very possible one German may be very like another. The Chairman,—Do you wish to ask any more questions ?  Prisoner.--No, no more. Mr. Superintendent Coward then applied for a remand. He said he had every reason to believe that by the next examination he should be in possession of important information which would establish the identity of the prisoner as the owner of the book.  The Bench then consulted together, and The Chairman said—This is a most important case, and we think it highly desirable that the remand asked for should be granted. The prisoner was then remanded, and a number of persons hastened to the doors of the hall to gaze upon him as he was conveyed back to prison.
