THE PIMLICO MYSTERY. ACQUITTAL OF THE PRISONER. The trial was resumed on Saturday, before Mr Justice Wills, at the Central Criminal Court of Mrs Adelaide Bartlett, aged 30, for the wil- ful murder of her husband, Edwin Thos. Bart- lett, on or about December 31, 1885, by admin- istering to him chloroform. lett, on or about December 31, 1885, by admin- istering to him chloroform, The Attorney-General (Sir Charles Russell), Mi Poland, Mr R. S. Wright, and Mr Moloney appeared for the Crown; Mr Edward Clarke, Q.C., M.P., Mr Mead, and Mr Beal defended Mrs Bartlett; and Mr Lockwood, Q.C., and Mr Charles Mathews appeared for Mr Dyson. Un Saturday the court met an hour earlier- nine o'clock—by which time a large number of persons had obtained admission. As on pre- vious occasions, there was a very large atten- dance of women. The prisoner looked ex- tremely pale, and seemed somewhat agitated when placed in the dock. Mr E. Clarke, Q.C., said Before my learned friend commences his reply on behalf of the Crown, I want to mention one matter that I omitted to do on Friday. It is with regard to a conversation said to have taken place with Mrs Doggett as to the- will, which might point to motive but I wish to say at once that it could not show any motive on her part. Mr Dyson was known to them as a man of verj scanty means, and it was well kiuwn that no marriage could have taken place between them for two years. The Attorney-General: With reference to the statement which my learned friend has been allowed to make, I would call attention to the fact which is mentioned—that there is no evi- dence whatever to show that Mrs Bartlett ever had a penny of money at all, only that which which she received from her husband. Facts, so far as they are disclosed, point rather in the opposite direction. He marries this lady. As to her previous history you have not heard any- thing. He sends her to school for some time, and except so far as my learned friend made the suggestion, no doubt upon his instructions, there is no evidence to suggest, less to show. that this lady brought one penny, Mr E. Clarke, Q.C.: She said so. Her slate- ment is in evidence. The Attorney-General replied on the whole case, and observed that there did not appear to be any doubt that the deceased died about one o'clock in the morning of the 1st of January, nor that he died from the effects of an irritant poison introduced into the stomach and the question was, How this poison got there ? He argued that there was no evidence to show the prisoner and her husband did not live together upon the ordinary terms of married life, and that the strange story told by her to Dr Leach could not be credited. The husband certainly made over, however ambiguously, his own wife to Dyson. The only obstacle to the intended union was the living husband, and this ap- peared to be a strong motive for the commis- sion of this crime. In the conduct of his case his learned friend had felt himself compelled to place this terrible stigma upon the deceased. Mr Clarke What stigma ? The Attorney-General: The stigma of having deliberately foregone his rights as a husband, and handed over his wife to another man while he was living. The Attorney General went on to say that the position of the prisoner and Mr Dyson afforded a strong motive for removing the husband, and that this,"was a point which required to be carefully considered ,by the jury. The important question was What did priso- nor want nhlnrnfnrm inv 5 HA tlioncht there could not be the least doubt that the death of deceased was the result of suicide or of murder, and it appeared to him there were almost in- superable difficulties in the way of coming to the conclusion that the case was one of suicide. As to the difficulty of administering the chlo- roform to the deceased, he asked them whether it could not be easily imagined that the glass containing the chloroform had been handed to the deceased, and that be took it in confidence and that he gulped it down his throat at once. The object of the prisoner was not that the operation of poisoning should be carried out with delicacy, but that it should be effective, and if the man did not take the poison himself, who but the prisoner could have administered it to him ? If they studied the history of crimes like these, they would find that by a mysterious Providence detection frequently occurred through the occasion of some trifling admission on the part of the criminal, and this would probably account for the fact that the glass and bottle which had contained the chloroform had been pilaced on the shelf, instead of close to the deceased, so as to give colour to the suggestion that he had committed suicide. If the theory ot suicide could not be entertained upon the facts, the only other suggestion was that there had bren a murder, and by whom could that murder have been committed but the prisoner ? It had been strongly urged on behalf of the prisoner that she coald not havoC had motive to commit such a horrible crime but that was for them to consider. He reminded them that she took a very strong interest in Dyson, and that she was a woman of very much stronger will than he was; and they would not forget that in the conversation the prisoner had with Dyson she told him she would not incriminate him if he did not incriminate himself. The truth was the only point to which they should direct their attention, and the prisoner was only entitled to the benefit of any real and substan- tial doubt that existed as to her guilt. Mr Clarke, Q.C.; Before your lordship com- mences summing up, I desire to say that a com- munication had been made to me by Annie Walker, who was called in the case, but whom I have not been in communication with, which makes it desirable to put one question with re- gard to anything she knows of the birth of the nvisnnpr'a child. Mr R. S. Wright, on behalf of the Crown, said he did not understand the point, but he would raise no objection to anything which might elicit the truth. The Judge gave permission, and Annie Wal- ker was re-called. Mr Clarke Annie Walker, at the time you nursed Mrs Bartlett in her confinement, did you become aware of its having been the result of a single act ?—Yes. The Judge Who told you so ?—Sht told me so; they both said so, on a Sunday afternoon. Justice Wills commenced to sum up. Before he addressed himself to the facts of the case. he should like, upon public grounds, to make a comment upon the course adopted by the Crown in presenting no evidence against Mr Dyson, and offering him as a witness, instead of putting him as a prisoner on his trial. He thought that the interests of the prisoner now on her trial had not suffered by that course. At a very early period of his study of this case he was struck by the fact, which was scarcely men- tioned in the depositions, namely, that after this man's death those articles they had heard mentioned were found in the dead man's trou- sers pocket. There was, too, a very unpleasant book found in the rooms. Whatever sljame might attend the possession and reading of such a book, too much blame should not faff on the wife, for it was a wonder that in any decent household such a book should be put before a wife. Women of the present day were use4 to strange things—things which would have startled even the men in the days when herwas a boy. Their acquaintances with these strange things tended to bring them to courts suci as this, day after day, to listen to matters \\(hioh men of mature age, like himself and the jury, conld not hear without feelings of shame and loathing. This book brought an element of pity into the case for the wretched woman who was the wife of a man who would throw it in her way and encourage her to read it. Still, Mr and Mrs Bartlett seem to live in unbroken haI piness together, and of this there was an un- broken chain of evidence. They bad the mis- fortune to make the acquaintance of the Rev. George Dyson, and he said misfortune, for but for that acquaintance they would, no doubt, have continued to live happily and comfortably together. He must press upon them with their whole minds and souls to act upon the convic- tion that Dyson was guiltless of all intent of murder or designs; but still it was not pleasant to think of a Christian minister becoming the intimate friend of this family, entering with Mr Bartlstt into this unwholesome discussion about the theory of two wives, r„ddressmg_ to the wife the words of unhallowed and unchristian nffec- tion, increasing his visits, kissing the wifr: in his I .presence, and-- as they would have no doubt ill believing—in the absence of the husband, pass- ing hour after hour with her, letting her sit at his knee with her head on his lap, and justify- ing all this by listening to the maudlin non-j sense of the husband. They could not doubt i that they got to that stato of intimacy when the possible death of the husband and the posibi- lity of the succession of Mr Dyson were tualfers of frequent conversation and when a young wife and a young male friend got to discussing the probabilities of his decease within measur- able time, the possibility was, according to the experience of all ordinary persons, that the hus- band's life was not one upon which an insur- ance office would like to effect, a policy. His lordship counselled fho j 'try toroject anything j which rested on Dyson's uncorroborated evi- dence. Incidentally the Judge mentioned that the case bad not been out of his mind—sleeping or wakillg- since Monday morning, and pro- I ceeded to review the evidence. This, he said, showed that the prisoner bad been an unusually devoted wife, and he would tell them that there was nothing at all suspicious in the circum- stances which occurred up to twelve o'clock on the night of the 31st of December except the j cardinal fact of the possession of the chloroform. There was cogent evidence that Bartlett died from swallowing chloroform. How much they could not tell. He marvelled at the action- of the coroner's officer, who, sent to the house on the 4th of January to assist in the search after the truth, did not search the drawers for the missing chloroform bottle. He neglected to do so, and yet he was a grown-up policeman. Through that neglect they should never know what it would have been of essential importance to know, whether or not that bottle was in her pocket on the 1st of January when she left the house. Having put the case as it told against the prisoner, lie would turn to another aspect, respecting the circumstances attending-the ill- ness of the deceased, and these were of the strongest and most favourable character for her. Everything throughout the case pointed to the conduct of a most devoted wife, and was perfectly natural and this was supported by evidence from different sources. For ove" three weeks prior to MrBartlet-t's death, and during a critical time, she scarcely ever took .off her clothes. From the fact that he (the judge) had once tor a twelvemonth been wiuiouc one decent night's rest, he knew to some extent what she had gone through. He knew perhaps, more from his own experience of the terrible effects of sleeplessness than either of the counsel for the defence or the Attorney-General, and he could sa) that it was scarcely possible to imagine the strength of mind, will, and purpose necessary to resist the impulses of a person who was unable to obtain sleep to take narcotics. Whatever the jury's suspicion as to Mr Dyson's obtaining the chloroform, they must discard the point. There was no difficulty in the deceased, in his restless craving for sleep, getting the chloroform and himself taking it. It was a very important fact that there was no attempt to clean out the glass found in the room. If the prisoner poured the chloroform from the glass into the deceased's mouth she must have been strangely constituted if not desirous of obliterating the traces of it. Her conduct was strictly unlike that of a crimi- nal who had poisoned her husband, in betraying no anxiety in getting rid of the last traces of the cause of death. With regard to Dr. Leach, he desired to speak with all the respect that his duty permitted. His self-consciousness had made the investigation a most difficult one. They could not safely trust his impressions or statements. No doubt he desired to speak the truth. But, without having more than an average intellect, his instinct must have told him that when a man was lying dead before him, mysteriously, from some cause which he had seen nothing to account for, it was surely his first duty to ascertain with care whether there was anything close at hand and in the room to account for the death. Finally the judge impressed upon the jury their fluty to deal out justice careless of results. If they could place their hands upon their hearts, and before Almighty God, before Whom the drama was being enacted, acquit the prisoner, they should do so; but if not, they must not fear to express their opinion, no matter what the consequence. If. atterlooking at the case from all sides, they still honestly doubted, the prisoner should have the benefit of that doubt. At about eight minutes to three o'clock the jury retired; the judge, aldermen, and sheriffs left the bench the prisoner was removed from the dock and the usual buzz of conversation commenced. No incident of note occurred until five minutes past four, when a message was sent to the judge, and the court directly after re.assembled, the prisoner displaying intense emotion on being again brought up. Mr Justice Wills soon removed all need for speculation as to the nature of the communica- tion which the jury had sent to him, by stating that the jury had sent him two questions as to matters of fact, but he thought it would be proper that his answers should be given in public. The first question was What was the evidence as to the time Mr and Mrs Doggett went to bed on the morning of the 1st of Jan- uary? He should say, without referring to his notes, that there was no evidence on that point. The servant went to bed after midnight. The second question was whether Dr Leach searched one drawer, or more than one, after the death. What Dr. Leach said satisfied the court that he did not search the second drawer. The first drawer be brought out bodily unsearched, and Mrs Bartlett took her hat out of it. The second drawer be did not open. Mr Poland said Mr and Mrs Doggett were in court in case it was d^ to question either or both of them. His Lordship asked Mr Doggett to stand forward, and he enquired what time he and his wife went to bed on the night of t'.ie 31st of December. Mr Doggett replied between 25 minutes and half-past twelve o'clock as near as he could fix it. It was, at all events, past the twenty minutes. The judge again retired, and the noise of conversation prevailed until at two minutes after five there came a magic silence. It was seen that the jury were coming in. The judge, acaompanied by the aldermen and sheriffs, re- turned, and the cold formally was L one through of calling over the names of the jury. The prisoner came in with the two attendants, was a hectic flush on her careworn face. She did not raise her eyes, as though shrinking from that sea of staring faces. The attendants pressed closer and closer to her on either side. THE VERDICT. The Clerk of Arraigns Gentlemen, have you agreed upon your verdict ? The Foreman We have.

EASTER ON APRIL 25. Easter falls in 18S6 at its latest possible date—vi.z, on St. Mark's Day, April 25. The last time that it so fell was in 1736 (old style), the next time will be in 1943. In old style-that is, under the Julian Calendar, i which gave 100 leap years in four centuries-Easter fell on St Mark's Day four times in 532 years, at regular inttrvals of 95, 95, 95, and 247 years. Thus it happened in the years 919, 1014, 1109, 1204. 1451, 1546, 1641, 1736, and will happen in 1983, if there then remain any countries still retaining old style." A relic of old style still remains in the keeping of the public accounts, which are made up to April 5 every year, that is to March 25 old style." Old style went out of use in England in 1752, and the Gregorian Calendar, with 97 leap years in four centuries, came into use. In the Gregorian Calendar Easter falls on St. 1 Mark s Day at; very irregular intervals, happening on an average three times in four centuries. When Easter thus falls Whitsunday falls on the feast of St. Anthony of Padua and Corpus Christi Day on St John Baptist. Hence the old prophecy attributed to St. Bridget, which may be found carved on a stone in a church rear Treves :—"When Mark shall bring us Easter. Antony shall sing the praises of Pentecost, and John shall cense the Blessed Sacra- ment on the Feast of Corpus Christi, then will the world resound with cries of mourning and grief." IJndei the Julian Calendar every arrraQgement of the movable feasts recurred after an interval of 532 years. But the Gregorian Calendar knows: no such limit. For example, Septuagesima has fallen as late as February 22 four times in the Christian era- namely, in the years 140, 672, 1204. 1736 (old style) but it will not happen in new style until the year 3784, after an interval of more than 2,000 yoars. KEMARKABLE PROPHECIES. On a marble slab at Ober.millel, in Germany we read the following Quande Marcus Pascha dabit, Et Antonius Pentecostem celebrabit, Et Joannes Christum adorabit, Totus mundus VELj clamabit. which means, when Easter shall fall on St. Mark's Day (April 25), Pentecost on St. Anthony's Day (June 13), and Corpus Domini on St. John's Day (June 24), on the days named all the world shall cry woe. In the year 1886 the above feasts will fall on the days named. The following is attributed to Michael Nostradamus, born December 14, 1502, died at Salon. June 24th. Iriflfi Quand Georges Dieu crucifera. Que Marc le resuscitera, Et que Saint Jean portera, La fin du monde.arrivera. That is, when Good Friday shall fall on St. George's Day (April 23rd), Easter on St. Mark's Day (April 25th), and Corpus Domini Oh St. John's Day (June 24), the world will come to an end. In 1886 these three feasts will be celebrated on these drtys accord- to these prophecies we have, at least, a little time yet to prepare for the great event. At the adjourned inquiry at Liverpoor on Monday into the loss of the steamship Oregon Captain Cottier said the night was clear and the side lights could have been seen five or six miles away. There was no rush for boats, and had the bulkhead door been closed he could have beached the vessel. A GIRL DEVOURED BY AN ALLIGATOR.—A telegram from Brisbane to the 'Melbourne Argus' says :-A girl named Margaret Gordon, the daughter of a dairyman on Cattle Creek, 30 miles from Townsville, has been devoured by an alligator. She went with a servant girl to the creek for water, when a large alligator rushed at her and carried her off. The occur- rence was witnessed by the girl's father, who was unable to ren ler any assistance.
