Tragic Affair at Cardiff. Tregaron Woman's Death. HUSBAND ARRESTED ON SUSPICION A VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER" AT THE INQUEST. The East Moors district of Cardiff was the scene ef a tragic occurrence on Wednesday in last week, in which tiie principal figures were intimately associated with Tregaron. The occurrence had a sensational develop- ment the same evening, when a well-known shopkeeper in Carlisle-street was taken into custody by the police charged on suspicion with having caused the death of his wife. Briefly stated, the facts aro as follow. About midnight on Tuesday David Edwards, of 24, Carlisle-street, Moors, Cardiff, went to tile police station and stated that his wife, Ann Edwards, had fallen over the stairs and had broken her neck. At that time nothing transpired calculated to arouse suspicion. During the early hours of Wed- nesday, however, certain rumours reached the Cardiff police, who immediately instituted an investigation. Dr. Powell, who had seen the body of the deceased, Ann Edwards, gave it as his opinion that she had met her death by having her neck broken. The police at once instructed Dr. Powell to make a post- morteon examination. Throughout the morning and afternoon the police were in the main engaged upon enquiries from neigh- bours, and these are stated to have thrown a good deal of ligkt upon the relations exist- ing between Edwards and hii wife. As a re- sult Superintendent Durston and Detective Davey arrested Edwards at his house shortly before six o'clock. David Edwards was born at Tregaron, in Cardiganshire nearly 40 years ago; and his father and mother still live at that place. Prisoner is a draper by trade. He was formerly a pack- man, travelling at one time m the Barry district, but for some years he has been in business in the Splott district. Something like ten years ago lie and his wife came to Cardiff, and they then took a shop at the ex- treme end of Carlisle-street, next door to the mission chapel. After residing there for- two years they moved to 24, Carlisle-street, where they resided up to the time of the tragic event. Edwards, some five years ago, opened a stall in the Cardiff Market, at which goods mostly of a woollen description were sold. He was thus frequently away from Splott, and in his absence the deceased looked after the business. Edwards is a man of average height, thick- ly built, and clean shaven with the exception of a slight moustache. There are two sons of the marriage one of whom is about six and the other about eight years of age. Some time ago Edwards got into financial difficulties and went through the Bank- ruptcy Court, and is still undischarged. The business has been carried on up to the pre- sent in the name of the deceased. Edwards is stated to have a brother also residing in Cardiff. The deceased woman was also a West Walian. She was some two or three years younger than her husband and like him was born at Tregaron, being the dau- ghter of Mrs. Hughes, the Mill. She was brought up on the farm kept by her parents. Her aged mother and two sisters still reside on the farm and Mrs I Hashes and another of her daughters trav- elled up to Cardiff on learning the sad news. Deceased, who had been a tall, fine woman, was brought up at home in the faith of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists, and was deep- ly attached to that body and she often at- tended the Jerusalem Methodist Chapel at Walker-road, Splott, which place of worship her husband also occasionally attended. "She was one of the nicest women I ever met with," said a near neighbour to a re- porter. She was always an inoffensive quiet respectable woman." Brought up in the same oountry town, she and her husband had known each other from childhood. De- ceased lived at the farm at which she was born up till the time of her marriage. In- quiries point to the fact that deceased had no relatives living in Cardiff, she beinfg al- most the only member of her family who had left the immediate neighbourhood of Tre- garon. THE INQUEST. Mr. E. B. Reece, coroner, opened the in- quest at the Town Hall, Cardiff, on Thurs- day. Mr. Harold Lloyd was present to re- present the husband of deceased, who was in attendance in custody. .j The first witness called was Datnel Edwards, commercial traveller, of Paradise-place.. Queen-street-, brother of the accused, who was present at the inquest, occupying a seat in the dock. The witness said he believed deceased was about 34 years old, and had been married nine or ten years. John Thorne Watts, the next witness, liv- ing. at Portmanmoor-road, said he had a fruiterer's shop at 26, Carlisle-street, next door to where Edwards and his wife lived. He last saw deceased alive about 4 o'clock on Tuesday, when she came into his shop and purchased some prunes. She seemed quite well then. The Coroner: Do you think she had been drinking?—No, not then. She was quite sober. At 10.30 the same evening witness saw the husband standing at the door, and said Good night to him, and the accused man answered Good night." Three minutes later the husband had left the door, which was shut. Subsequently, while sitting in the kitchen with his wife, witness heard Mrs Edwards scream: that was about twenty- five minutes to eleven. The Coroner: Did she scream more than once? She screamed several times. The screaming continued till a few minutes to Did you hear anything else besides screams?—I heard her say, "For God's. sake i dontkillme." And did you hear Edwards make any ob- servation or reply You didn't hear his voice at all ?-N o. Did you hear anything besides these screams and this exclamation?—I heard a scuffling of feet. Did it continue long?—It continued more or lees all the tims. More or le6.3 all the time the screams con- tinued?—Until a few minutes to eleven. And then did the screamp cease?—Yes, after a few minutes to 11 there was no noise; it was all quiet. How lone have you lived next floor to Edwards?—Just over six months. We were living at the shop about three months al- together Can you tell us anything about the terms David Edwards was on with his wife?—From the first night we were there his brutal treatment of his wife is beyond human tongue to express. Witness further said he saw the man re- peatedly strike his wife with his fist, and when he was trying to choke her one night he threw a grape barrel at him. He had several times seen deceased with bruises on her and with black eyes. Cross-examined by Mr. Harold Lloyd: He had not seen deceased the worse for drink more than three times. The last time h3 saw Edwards strike his wife was about three months ago. From that-time he had not seen him strike her, but he had heard repeated screams of Murder" and Don't kill me." By the Coroner: He had seen Edwards under the influence of drink many times. Evidence having been given by other neighbours P.C. James Davies said he saw Dav;d Edwards at 12.15 on the morning of the 13th in Janet-street. He was running towards the police station at the top end of Janet- street. Witness stopped him and said, What's the matter with you Edwards ? He replied. I'm going to fetch the police." Witness was in plain clothes, and Edwards did not at first recognise him. Edwards on recognising witness said, The missus has fallen downstairs, and I think something serious is the matter." Witness went back to the house with him. In the passage alongside the stairs witness saw the body of deceased, who was lying flat on her back, her head being towards the street and her legs pointing to the kitchen. She seemed to be dead, and before the body was removed the doctor was sent for. Dr. Powell arrived in about ten minutes. What did Edwards afterwards say to you? -He said: About 12.10 a.m., I was engaged in the shop getting my goods ready for the purpose of going to Neath fair when I heard my wife, who had been drinking, going up the stairs. Shortly afterwards I heard a noise and opening the door leading to the kit- chen I found my wife lying at the foot of the stairs. I tried to get her up, but failed to do so I went for the police. Witness, continuing, said Edwards was under the influence of drink. Dr. R. Evans Powell said David Edwards came to him about 12.30 in the morning of the 30th, and told him to come at once, as his wife had fallen downstairs. At the house witness saw deceased lying at the foot of the stairs. She was dead, death having taken place within half an hour of witness seeing her. The body was quite warm. It was about 20 minutes to 1 that witness saw the body. He had since made a post-mortem examination, in conjunction with Dr. Mit- chell Stevens. Externally there was a small bruise about the middle of the right fore- arm, and another just above the wrist, both superficial bruises. Theire was another bruise at the back of the hand, and one in front of the wrist, and small ones near the elbow, the arm being almost covered with bruises. On the left arm there was a large bruise on the upper part, and a few smaller bruise&-eiglit altogether—on the forearm. There was a superficial abrasion behind the left ear, and another on the left side of the face above the angle of the jaw. There was a superficial bruise over the right eye, and on the right leg three small bruises and another bruise It inches in diameter above the right knee. Witness spoke of several other bruises about the legs and other parts of the body. On opening the body the lunge, heart, and other parts were found to be healthy^ there being no signs of disease. The Coronef: Did the liver or other organs show any signs of drinking?—None what- ever. Witness, continuing, said the brain was healthy, and there were no fractures, but on the near side of the scalp there were several bruises, six altogether. These were not very serious. What was the cause of death?—Failure of the heart's action after concussion of the brain and shock. In reply to Mr. Harold Lloyd, witness said the statement made by 'the accused to the police as to deceased falling downstairs L would account for many of the injuries, but considering the patient was dead he would expect to find a more serious cause of death. I suggest the statement made by the ac- cused to the police is consistent with the result of your post-mortem?—Yes. Further medical evidence having been given, the jury, after an absence of five minutes, brought in a verdict of Wilful murder" against Edwards, and expressed the opinion that they did not believe the woman fell downstairs. POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS. Accused was brought before the Cardiff stipendary on Thursday, charged on suspic- ion with having caused the death of his wife some tiiue between 10.30 p.m. on the 29th and 12.15 a.m. on the 30th inst. Detective Davey said that he arrested prisoner at 5.15 on Wednesday afternoon at 24, Carlisle-street. In reply to the charge he said, I am not guilty." Mr. Naoo (clerk) asked Edwards if he wished to ask any questions. "No. not now," he replied. Prisoner was remanded until to-day FUNERAL OF THE VICTIM. The remains of Mrs. Edwards were brought home to Tregaron for interment on Saturday afternoon, and the cortege was met at the station by a large number of friends. The ^fev. Morgan Evans officiated. The sad affair lias caused great sensation at Tregaron, and much sympathy is felt with the re- latives.

The Rev. G. Rapkin, minister of the Church o! Christ, Birkenhead, went to the Continent on March 20th, wrote to his wife to say he was ill, and has not since been heard of.

Unskilled Workers Organised. NATIONAL LABOURER'S SECRETARY SPEAKS. A representative of the South Wales Argus has had an interesting talk with Mr. Frederick H. Rogers, District Secretary of the National Amalgamated Labourers' Union. The Trade Societies, which have accom- plished what used to be regarded as an im- possible task—that of organising unskilled labour—require as their leaders men of character and abilities not always found in ;1. chifis which regards itself as far above them socially. Upon these officials falls the difficult task of treating with Employers of Labour, arranging disputes, averting Strikes whenever tact and clever negotiation can avert them, organising success when a Strike is inevitable. All this is responsible, trying work, and it tells on the men who do it. Mr. Rogers' thoughtful, intelligent face marks him as a leader worthy of the great

How TO CURE RHEUMATISM.— Rheumatism is a disease caused by an acid in the blood. Damp or cold alone cannot cause Rheumat- ism if the blood is healthy: but if this acid exists in the system it will fly to a weak spot either a joint or a muscle that has been ex- posed to chill—and cause horrible pain. Embrocations and other outward applica- tions may relieve the pain, but the disease can only be prevented from returning by en- riching the blood. Good blood and good blood alone can cast out the poisonous acid. DB. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE make good blood." That is how they cure Rheumatism and other Diseases: that is how they have cured Anaemia (which is weakness arising from having too little blood), Con- sumption, Fits, Paralysis, and the frequent ailments which women endure in brave sil- ence. The genuine pills bear Dr. Williams' name. Genuine pills cure., Substitutesf don't cure. That's the difference. Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Holborn-via- duct, London, will send a box post free 2s. 9d. (six for 13s. 9d.); but the pills can be had at all medicine shops if you take care to ask for, and see in red on the pink pack- age the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

Moral Stories.—11. THE WOMAN WHO DIDN'T. A certain Lady had an ansemic Daughter. She said: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People will do her Good." So she went to a Shop and said: Give me some Pink Pills 1" She didn't say" Dr. Williams' This is where she made a Mistake. When she got home she handed the Pack- age to her Sick Daughter. The Sick Daughter got worse. The more pills she took the worse she Grew. They were not the Genuine Pills. One day her Mother picked up the Box, and, said she, Why, these are not Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at all, but a Useless Substitute. No wonder my Child is worse. I should have asked for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, not just for Pink Pills. It is All My Fault." MORAL. So it was: but they don't always Remem- ber it.

l confidence he enjoys. He is a man whom the Workers trust, and whom reasonable 1 Employers are glad to meet. He is accus- tomed to weigh his words, and any state- ment to which he commits himself commands respect and confidence from thousands of men and women who know him. Mr. Rogers, who was seen in his home at 36, Pyke-street, Barry Dock, gave some in- teresting recollections, and we reproduce his own well-chosen and intelligent words. It was," said Mr. Rogers, about nine years ago, when I was working as a labourer at the Barry Graving Dock and living at Car- diff, that I was attacked with severe rheu- matism in the feet through getting damp whilst at work. I was quite crippled and totally incapacitated from work fr a period of four months. I was under the treatment of my club doctor throughout, and also con- sulted another physician. I also tried all sorts of remedies, but with no success, and a mate of mine who worked with me at the Graving Dock told me of Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people, and I gave them a trial. Long before I had finished taking the pills I found myself rapidly recovering. I took no other, medicine after I once commenced with them. I always recommend Dr. Wil- liams' pink pills, and to-day I am in splendid health. Mr. Rogers, when interviewed, certainly looked in the pink of condition. What lends interest and importance to his experience of Dr. Williams' pink pills is the fact that, although it is now nine years ago since his cure, he has never experienced a recurrence of the illness. The cure was a complete and permanent one, and Mr. Rog- ers was glad to make it known through the Press. His work as District Secretary of the National Amalgamated Labourers' Union shows that he has risen to a very re- sponsible position, having the interests of close on 1,000 members in his charge.
