THKEE COJNYICTS MEET THEIlt DOOM AT WINCHESTER. PORTSMOUTH, SOUTHAMPTON, AND ALDERSHOT MURDERERS. THE FKUlTS OF REVENGE AND IMMORALITY, TERRIBLE PENALTIES PAID TO-DAY. SPECIAL DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNT. WINCHESTER, Tuesday Morning. The Press Association's special represen- tative at Winchester telegraphs that Priyate Samuel Edward Smith, of the 4th King's Royal HiHes, convicted of murdering Corpoiai Robert Payne, of the same regiment; üilip Matthews, coachman, sentenced 10 death for killing hLs daughter, Elsie Gertrude, aged six: and Frederick Burden, a Southampton labourer, condemned for murdering his sweet- heart. Angelina Faithful, were all threa hanged at Winchester Gaol at eight O'CIOCK this morning. BilUngton and Wilkinson wc-e the giecutioners.
SCENE ON THE SCAFFOLD.
SCENE ON THE SCAFFOLD. THE MURDERERS' LAST HOURS. Judging from the outward appearance of Her Majesty's Prison at Winchester on Tues- day morning, nobody would have for a moment suspected what a grim tragedy was being enacted within its walls. The tragedy in question was no less th:m the hanging of three persons sentenced to death at the recent Winchester Assizes—an event without pre- cedent in the later history of the gaol. Since their incarceration in Winchester Gaol, the three murderers had occupied septate ceds adjacent to each other, and had been visiteu regularly by the Rev. J. A. Ladbrooke, the prison chaplain, to whom :dl three listened with respectful attention but Smith seemed absolutely callous, while Burden and Mat- thews took the Bible reading with avidity. the latter varying Lis occupation by writing verses and long letters. On Monday night the rev. gentleman was with the condemned men till late, and when they retired to rest, after light suppers, it was with the promise that they should be visited again this morning. The chaplain was not the only visitor at the prison on Mon- day night, for EILLlNGTCN AND WILKINSON ARRIVED. with the grim accompaniments of their offi- and were accommodated in the building, so :1S to be in readiness for their gruesome task on Tuesday morning. These two, it will be le collected, were the operator who officiated at the recent triple execution at Newgate, when Milsom, Fowler, and Seaman were ^hanged, it was alleged that on that occasion W il" son fell into the pit clinging to Milsom s legs. The report caused a grave scandal, and naturally led to demands in various quarters that the people should be allowed to have their repre- sentatives at all executions. Having regard to these facts, and to the personnel of the hangman. Colonel Woods, the High Sheriff of Hants; Mr Chas. Godwin, the Under-sheriff; and Major Lane, the Governor of the gaol, agreed that it would be well to save all possi- bility cf unfounded allegations of the kind referred to by admitting a limited number of pressmen. The decision was a very wise one, and though the permission was accompanied by a request that no sensational details should be published out of sheer satisfaction to the morbid public curiosity, all these officials most courteously treated the people's rep. sentatives, and gave them every possible facility for properly performing their thank- less task. Thus it came about that the Press Association representative, with three other journalists, found himself applying for ad- mission at the prison gates at 7,30 on Tries day meaning, when, as alreauy indicated, there were few signs of public interest or curiosity, though it appears that just before eight o'clock a small crowd assembled at the gies to witness the hoisting of the black flag. The pressmen were conducted to a corridor facing the three cells in which Smith. Burden, and Matthews had slept. THEIR LAST NATOKAL SLEEP. It was then about ten minutes to eight, and the chaplain, who had been in the cells sine: six o'clock seeking to administer spiritual con- solation, was then closeted with Smith, who seems to have softened somewhat towards the last. A moment later the under- sheriff and his deputy, Mr. Charles Godwin, reached tLe same corridor, and were followed by a large staff of warders, the Governor, Dr. Richards (prison surgeon), and by Billingtoc and his assistant, the latter carrying the straps to be used in pinioning Even the sturdy warders looked pale and ill at ease, and the solemnity of these last mo- ments was accompanied by the measured toll- ing of the prison bell. Exactly at eight o clock the hangman performed the preliminary pinioning operations in the cell. and a pro- cession to the scaffold was at once formed, the chaplain going on before and reading impres- sively the opening sentences of the funeral service. The place of execution was a few yards from the cells, and the condemned all walked m'miy. Each was erect and calm, and neither gave one the impression that he re- garded himself as one dfon whom the King of Terrors had already set his seal. It may have been, however, that the chapUiVs cforts had had their desired effect, and that the calmness was born of hope for the future, rather thau callous unconcern. THE SCAFFOLD. which is in the Governor's coach-house, has only been used for single or double executions hitherto, and a new cross-beam had been provided to avoid a possible mishap. The three noosed ropes were already in position, and beneath were chalked the initials of the condemned men. Burden was phced in the centre, with Smith on iiis right and Matthews on his left, all three being upon the joint where the flaps of the drop met. With great expedition Billington adjusted the ropes, and Wilkinson eimultanoously strapped the cul- prits' legs. The hangman then drew on the white caps, and just as the chapiain had said, have mercy upon us," and was com- mencing the Lord's Prayer, Billington drew the lever, and the last act in the legal tra- aedv was coaxuleied-
INSTANTANEOUS DEATH.
INSTANTANEOUS DEATH. There was not the slightest hitch or delay, and the prison doctor, who descended the pit immediately after the drop fell, ceitified that death was instantaneous—a sufficiently ob- vious fact to those who looked down upon the motionless forms, with their evidently dislocated necks.
NO CONFESSION. ,
NO CONFESSION. The prison Governor courteously informed, the Press Association's representative that so < far as he was aware neither victim had made a confession, although it was currently believed that the writing upon which Matthews had been engaged lately was something in the a at ure ef a confession or autobiography.

TUB TEIGNJAO UTII MURDER. la the ease of Philip Matthews, 35, coaeh- »an, it was prove tb&fc the murder oi his child was due to the fact that ho found it an encumbrance alter having formed an illicit I connection with a parlourmaid named Lottie Maloney. The condemned man ninde the acquaintance of the girl Atoloney, and left Teignmouth for Portsmouth with her. There thev passed off as man and wife, and the woman introduced him to her mother as her husband. The crime for which Matthews was sentenced to death was committed on Easter Monday, and the following day the bodv of the child, who was only six years oi was discovered tinder a hedge. Tile traces incriminated Phillips, who at IVin- chcster Assises on June 26th was ordered to meet the exLremo penalty ol the law.
- THE ALDERSHOT TRAGEDY.
THE ALDERSHOT TRAGEDY. The murder for which Samuel Edward Smith, oged 18, a. private in the 4th Battalion King's Roval liifies. WRS sentenced to death INvas tiie murder of Robert Payne, a corporal in the same regiment, at Aldershot, bv shooting him frem behind with a" nQe on May 26th. The trial took place at Winchester on June 27LÎ1. Corporal W. Scott was sitting on a form in the barrack-room peeling potatoes when he saw Private Smith enter with his rifle He took no notica till he heard a re- port close to bis ear. He looked round and ba\v Payne failing towards hi«. Smith nad dropped his rifle and was seized just as he was leaving. Previously Smith had told Private Marten that Payne had run him for being drunk, but h, would have bis own back. Only the previous evening P»y»e made Smith prisoner at large for being dirty 5n parade, and it was explained that a soldier ought not to have asamanition or a loaded gun in his barrack-room. The evidence of Surgeon-lieutenant Morris was that the bullet traversed deceased's neck transversely, and death was absolu-ely instantaneous. As already reported, a painful incident in connection with the murder was that the brother of Private Smith, who is a provost-corporal, was called on te take charge of the alleged murderer on May 28, pending tbe arrival of the representatives of the eivil newer. The defence was that the affair was the rexulr, of an aecident, but this plea was not accepted by the jury, who found lum guilty,
THE SOUTHAMPTON MURDER,
THE SOUTHAMPTON MURDER, The other sentence of death at Winchester at the same assizes was that passed an Frederick Burden, for the murder of Angelina Faithfull at Southampton eiri February 19, In l this case too, like that of Matthews, an immoral relationship was disclosed, though in the present instance the man killed the I woman with witctn he cohabited, and not his poor little child. For the offence he was tried on June 29 but the jury ceuld not agree A fresh one was, however, empanelled, and on July 1, Burden wai declared guilty and sentenced to death. The following I 's the story of the crime :-Faithful1 left her husband in 1893, and had since lived with the prisoner. There were quarrels and throats. On February 18 they were heard quarrelling. Next morning tilio was found dead in bed, with her throat cut from ear to ear. In her right hand was a razor, but the medical evidence proved that the razor was placed in her band, and that the wounds were not self-inflicted. The pri- soner absented himself from his work, and walked on the 19th to Salisbury I meeting a man, whom he asked if he had Heard of a murder at Southampton. When arrested the prisoner was found to have many marks of blood upon him and slight wounds on his throat from a razor. The defence was that one of the men known to have visited the deceased killed her, and that the bloodstains ou tho prisoner were the result of injury from a barbed-wire fence.

WHAT TO SEE, AND HOW I TO SEE IT. i HOW THE DAY MAY BE SPENT. I There is one point which ought to be ampiiasised strongly and immediately in eon- nection with tiie lioyal Regatta which is to ue held in 'Swansea Bay on Saturday next, rhere will be thousands of visitors brought nto tha town !«3' road and rail; and of cach uiiuusand 500 at present are under the srroneous impression that the best view of i.bo racing will be obtainable at tbe Mumbles. We are most authoritatively Assured that that is not so, and the sooner and more tlieroushi»- tl>at idea is dis- pelled the greater will be tho satisfaction the townsfolk ou Saturday evening next. A survey of the linal arrangements made by Lila Regatta Committee will enable anyone Lo convince Ius e' herself on the point. THE START OF THE IHU RACE. 1 It liai now been definitely decided, subject only to formal coi-firmation, tbat the committee boat, where tho yacht. racea will b- started and linished, will bo moored oil tbe Green Giounds' East BiOY, situate at a voint opposite t!ie booth Dock, and practically on a Sine drawn from the Mumbles Head to the Swansea Pier. Up that line, or r.- [her inside it, ail the miasr raceli will also be sailed; ore E;por'Ls will take place near the Pier iiead; the liiohoac exhibition v. ill be mado there; :Hld, in award, every thing worth seeing is to be seen from tho Pier to the Slip. J TUB COURSS. After much and uaxious deliberation a course for the first-class yachts has been dacidod upon. As stated above i will start at a point midway between Swansea West Pier and the slip at Brynmill, theuce to a mark three miles south-east in the direction of Port Talbot; then a Ion,, stretch of f- miles to a mark due south and cloae to the Seariveather Lightship from there the cultors will take a line seven and a half miles up to tho Mixen Buov oil the Mumbles Head and I leaving tho buoy between the boats and the bhore, the yachts will make for the cem- Riittcc boat.

The secretary of the Swansea Hospital be/s leave with best thanks to acknowledge the receipt of L7 15s. 4&, from employes of the Landore Tin-plate Works. The men of Foxhole Works. who have been summoned to appear before the Swansea magistrates to-morrow, are determined, they say. should lines be imposed, to serve a term of imprisonment rather than pay them. Captain Naerup writes:—" Don t let the, townsfolk forget the Royal wedding on Wed- nesday of the Prince of Wales' daoguter and the Danish prince. Get thera to show all their bunting and flags, as becomes a loy u town such as good old owansta is." The Swansea Cymnirodorion Male Choir, which took the second prize at Llandudno, Ùl- eludes amongst its members several young Irish Roman Catholics. One of them lMr. J, McSweeney) was the chairman of the societj. He also is, or was recently, the secretary of the Swansea branch of the Irish National League. A rumour was current at Llanelly a few days ago that a man named Thomas. living at Fdill- foel, had been attacked by a man. who waylaid him on the Felinfoel Road, and rubbed hiui of his watch and money, inquiries made at the police-station, however, show that Thomas lost the money: which en Saturday morn.tig was found by some boys, and that :t was re- stored him by the police.

In order to pre- vent mistakes, I beg to say that I am in no way connected with, and do not know, the said Henry Wood, so if you will kindly give this a public denial you will greatly oblige. The numerous friends of the Rev. Jonah Williams, Bridgend, who is staying at W aun- arlwydd, will be glad to learn that his health is being quickly re-established, his native air acting quite magically on his constitution.

Mr. L: is a well-known lecturer of the Christian Evidence Society, and recently gave a course of lectures at Swansea- Both arc very ready and able debaters. I Woman, her place and power," was the subject of an interesting lecture by the Rev. James Oregon at the Oarmarihen-road Con- gregational Chapel on Me-day evening, The lecturer earnestly extolled woman," religious- ly, socially, and industrially. Woman's true glory, he said, did not consist in her physical strength, her personal beauty, or her accom- plishments, but in her purity, which made her admired and respected by God and man. He deprecated the so-called "new WOIDHX).' and characterised her as departing from her original sphere. Woman's mission was to be -social, and for that reason he would like to blow up all nunneries in the world with dynamite, because God never intended woman to be im- prisoned and debarred from taking part in the responsibilities of life. The lectin-e was listen- ed to with attention, and at the conclusion the meeting expressed its thanks. Mr Rhys Williams, charity commissioner, will conduct a local inquiry into cliarities at the Guildhall on Wednesday and Thurs- day.
