THE SUSPECTED MURDER TY WOLVERHAMPTON.  The woman who is supposed to have murdered the man Williams would seem to have made men effort to provost the house in which his body was lying from being entered at too early a date after her departure. By a refemme to his rent. book, Mr. Manna, the landlord of the house, finds that the last week's rent which be received was paid by the woman Sparrow sass Steadman os the forenoon of the 27th of last July. This was the forenoon dthe day upon which she left the court, with the key at the door in her hand, and saying to her next door, ueighboar, "If any one calls, say I am going into the country hawking, and shall not be beak for some time." When she pad the rent, as she did, to a Mrs. Smith, another tenant and a shopkeeper, she said, "Has Mr. Manna left the rent-book ? II he hu not, please to give him this and let it he put down.* This was the ssoond week's rent that bad become due. She would thus seem to have tasseted the house may • fortnight before @boleti. She seemed to beery anxious beforethe house was let to her that she might become the tenant. When the landlord for some time refused to accept her, she premed for a reason ; and when she was told that being a hawker he should never be able to find her at home to pay the nut, she said that if that was ell the objection she would pay the rent regularly to Mn. Smith, at the shop. Upon these conditions she obtained the key. By the payment of the last week's rest the date at which she left the house becomes definitely fixed. It can three weeks ago last Monday. That the woman toned is the empty haw at Dudley is the woman Williams alias Steadman, the chief constable of Wolverhampton has now no doubt whatever; but Mr. Phillips, the coroner, before whom the inquest on Williams was opened, is not yet equally satisfied. It is his opinion that the body should be rhsuiterred at Dudley, in order that the clothes should be examined more is detail. U Mr. Robinson. the coroner for Dudley, should become decided is his opinion that he has no power to order the disinterment, Captain &grave will leave further proceedings with a view to that edditioul inspection to the coroner for Wolverhampton, and the jury impannelled to ascertain the cause of Williams's death. But Mr. Robinson states that if be has the power he shall be happy to grant the permission desired. Tliepaper bag found 111 the pocket of the suicide at Dudley is regarded es powerfully corroborative of the opinion of Mrs. Lewis—that the bonnet found hanging to the sky-light at Dudley was the mme as that worn by Mrs. Steadman when she left the house in which Williams's body was found. The paper bag is just such a one as would be used by a mercer to enclose a muslin bonnet border. Mr. Parcel, the mercer, of Bilstoo, shoes name is printed on the bag, has been applied to for information, but he says that purchsees of borders are so frequent at his shop, that it is impossible for him to afford any clue. Doubtless it has not been forgotten that the key of the house in Wolverhampton was not found upon the suicide at Dudley. Captain Sums has handed over to the surgeons who are engaged in making the poet *torten examination of Williams s body the tea leaves and other remains of a meal which were found on the table of the downstairs room of the house in which the body was found, for evidence accumulates which teed, to strengthee the supposition that Williams was poisoned. it is now smelted that not only had the demised a broke, sore, but also that some time before he was but sue alive hie thumb was broken by its having been crushed by • trolley. This last-named cireurnstanos would account for a kind of bandage which is spoken to by the women who found the body as having been upon the head the thumb of which was broken. U the apparently gouged-out e;e can be shown to have been • defective eye-tall, hardened by disease and then forced out of the socket during the decomposition of the body—if the nose can Le shown to have had • broken bridge during life, and the thumb also to have been injured theo, the only marks of apparent recent violence that remain to be accounted for are what upwind to the surgeon when be tint law the body to be • rub or cut acmes the top of the thigh, sod another across the abdomen, and apparently extending from the one upon the thigh. So tuba@ the progress of decomposition gone that it is doubtful if it can be proved that the last• pained injuries are more than the disjointing of the corpse an the course of decay. But the surgeons have not formed any definite opinion on either of thee, Lade —Birestagbast Daily Poet.
