He made the acquaintance a one time ago of a girl named Ada Howard, with whom he lived for a short time, and seemed to entertain for her a strong affection. The girl had recently formed an acquaintance, against the will of Newby, with a Mr. Bellhouse, who seems to bove become so attentive to her as to excite th je“lorvq, of No why. She persisted, in spite of Newby's repeated warnings, to go about in company with Bsllhouse. Very recently it came to the knowledge of Newby that Howard and Bellhouse were engaged to be married, and, as ho failed to obtain any satisfactory assurances to the contrary from her, he broke off all connection with her. On Monday evening, a little after five o'clock, the neighbours were alarmed to hear several shots fired in the house occupied by Howard.

Later in the day Fox went to the house. About fifteen minutes afterwards cries were heard by the neighbours, and Fox. who had rushed to the window, exclaimed that she was being murdered. She then staggered downstairs, when a deep wound over her heart was discovered. Supt. Ware was at once on the spot, and on proceeding upstairs found that Twaites had stabbed himself in the region of the heart. In about ten minutes from that time both Fox and Twaites expired. It seems that Twaites, who was passionately fond of the woman, had heard of her intention to marry another man, and this no doubt led to his murdering the woman and committing sum.de  _....„ ............... —Mary Jane Vidlin has been charged at the Chatham Police-court with the wilful murder of George Thomas Young.
