IMO. W. MORRIS, Seoretary. : Kay 22nd, 1890.  The extraordinary occurrence in Union-street. Swansea, on Saturday night, remains a mystery. Although the police have marched diligently, high and low, they have hitherin been unable to get at any of the young men who are alleged to have formed the attacking party. The deecriptions given of the man who struck away the stick against whit* the deceased WU leaning me very vague, and vary in se eral particulars. One person nays he was short der* man dreamed in black clothes, but , this does not tally with Mrs. Bailey's impression. ! She told our representative that the was certain of her ability to recognise the man if she saw him again. There is the same conflict of testimony as to what took place outside Bailey's house, and particularly aa to the action of the man after the deceased fell to the ground. , Detective Sergeant Gill, has, however, succeeded in finding two persons who 'were called at the inquest, and the evidence of these men gee* to show that the original statement given to the police and re• ported above, was hardly correct. The., per sena say that they saw the deceased on the ! ground etrgling with another man for some ' minutes. They recognised Bailey b.t not the other man. Mrs. BaLey, it will be remembered, said that the man who kicked away the walk. I lug stick afterwards kicked her hushals on the ; ground. She appeared to have noticed no struggle. If the deceased received any violent blows or kicks, there were no marks on the body, and although Dr. Davidaon, who conducted the poet monem , examination, has not yet declared the conolusien at which he haa arrived se to the cause of death, I ibis nay:cohabits that he will say there was any violenee.

When conveyed to the hon.* he was in a kind of stupor, and it has been suggested that the ,excitement brought on a fit, death ensuing. Whatever was the direct cause of death, it appearacertain that indirectly the scene outside the house had eome me:wooden . with it. H, for instance, Bailey's heart was affected, and some of his friends who has. known him for some tirm think that to be very probable' any excitement or struggle would place hialffe in serious danger. When our rer. taitive saw Mn. Bailey she was Bo oceewbolmod with grief as to be unable to give any coherent account of what had hap ptmed on the Saturday night. She again and again referred to her haring been in the theatre on the previous night, amd had seen her husband on the stage, and now there he was— dead.
