EXECUTED- AS SPIES. GERMAN TROOPS ACCUSED OF ATROCIOUS CONDUCT, A profound sensation has been created at Cape Town by the publication in the "Cape Argus" of allegations of atrocious conduct on the part the German troops engaged in German South-West Africa. The charges are contained in a number of statements miade and signed by Boers. It is alleged that the Germans were guilty of terrible practices, including the hanging and shooting of native women and children as spies. On one occasion eight women and six children were hanged. Shots were fired at them while they were hanging, but before they were doad. On another occasion a simultaneous hanging of 25 natives took place. General Von Trotha had wounded natives, both men and women, shot a-s not worth the'trouble of suocovjring. The men who make the charges are British Boers. They unanimously agree that, although they were engaged as trans- port riders, they had arms supplied to them, and were compelled to enter the firing line. —Central News. The Cape Town Argus," in confirmation of its statements regarding the enlistment by German authorities in German Scutch-West Africa of Transvaal and Orange River Colony Boers, publishes an interview with English- men who have served with tthe Germans in Damaraland. The men, whose names are published, were engaged as transport assist- ants, but it is alleged they were compelled to fight, and that they saw Germans shoot or hang at least 25 women and children as spies, and witnessed other barbarities. They also assert Oil one occasion they were forced to shoot two wounded prisoners. The "Argus" says that it has no doubts as to the b-ona- fides of its informants, who are prepared to make affidavits in support of their state- ments,-R.euter.

TUNNEL MYSTERY. Dead Woman Found on the Line, WAS SHE THROWN OUT OF A TRAIN ? The mutilated body of a young woman of fine physique was found at about eleven o'clock on Sunday night in the Merstham Tunnel, on the South Eastern Railway. The discovery gave rise to some alarming rumours and suggestions of foul play, but the officials at the company's headquarters at London Bridge take the view that it is an ordinary I case of suicide. Purpose of Committing Suicide. I There is, of course, no positive proof that the woman was murdered. A veil was found stuffed in the mouth, which is the only feature pointing to foul play, but after making a post-mortem examination the dootor deola-reas that death was due to injuries sustained by collision with the train and the wall. At present the police have not obtained the slightest information concern- ing the friends of the deceased or other information concerning her. The theory entertained by Dr. Crickett that the woman was gagged and afterwards thrown from the train and run over, is also held by the )0001 police. Ae arguments tending to dis- prove the theory of suicide, it is pointed out that it is most unlikely that the woman would have walked a Quarter of a mile into the tunnel for the purpose of throwing herself under a train, whilst if she had jumped from thetraiin a carriage door would, undoubtedly, have been found open at the next station. The police theory is-íand it is certainly the most feasible under the circumstances—that the woman was travelling in company with a man who attempted to outrage her when the train entered the tunnel, that she resisted him, and was thereupon gagged and thrown through the carriage window. The fact that no ticket was found on the deceased strengthens the belief that she was travelling with a companion, who held her ticket, and the use of her veil as a gag gives evidence of haste. The Body Identified The body found in Meratha-m Tunnel was identified late lasit night as that of Mary Money, a servant in the employ of a gentle- man at Lavendar-hill. The figures "245" 4yn. deceased's linen led to her identification by her brother, a dairyman, of Kingston. Mysterious Circumstances Mr. Money, in an interview with the Cen- tral News correspondent this morning, said he saw the deceased on Sunday night, and she then seemed in good spirits. She was ii the ha.bit of walking out with different young men, but no suspicion rested on any of these acquaintances. The Star" says that Mise Mary Money was employed as bookkeeper at the dairy establishment of Mr. Bridger, a.t Lavender- hill, Ba.ttersea.. She left the dairy at seven o'clock on Sunday evening, telling the ser- vant that she would not be long. She did not return, and the family stopped up till one o'clock waiting for her. Yesterday morning when ehe vms still absent Mr. Bridger telegraphed to her friendg. Finger Warka A farther examination of the boay of Miss Money shows what appear to be finger marks on her right arm, such as might have been caused in a. struggle. It is also noteworthy that, on the upper part of the mouth where the veil was stuffed in, there is a slight -abra, sion, apparently of recent character, which, may possibly have been caused by the hand which stuffed the veil into the girl's mouth. The veil was a long one, and part of it adhered still to the upper part of her head, which was shockingly mutilated. It is sup- posed that the veil w&s tied round the bead, and that the lower part of it was tied in a knot under the chin. It had been possibly seized and thrust into the girl's mouth. A Happy Girl As has been previously stated, there was no railway ticket, money, or purse found, but one of her friends ait Lavender Hill, who spoke to her having money before she left her miatrees's ait seven o'clock ou Sunday evening, is understood to have sand tihat the girl had a purse when &he left the house, a.nd that puree, iit is believed, was wrapped itn a. handkerchief, as there was no pocket in her skirt. A mossage has been despatched asking deceased's brother to attend the inquest this afternoon. Farther inquiries tihiis morning only tend to deepen the mystery aittaehing to the young woman's death, and up to the present The Theory of Murder gains ground. The young woman never hinted at suicide—indeed, she was always one of the happiest girls atlive. So She was described by one of her feilow-employes at tihe dairy where she was employed as book-feeeper. So far ae is known, she had no sweetheart, and she spent most of her spare time in the com- pany of herbrot;t,er, who is a dairy farmer at Kin ggtonon^Thewnee. Her father has been dead some time. She was perfectly b,a(ppy in her situation, but she could ha/vc left at amy time tihe mishit have wished, to without flnan- oiail worry, as she could always have gone to her brother's place. She was a. very attrac- tive girl, and ailways dressed well. On Sumdiay Last she had dinner and tea With the family, a;nd left shortly after se-vøn o'clock, sa-yinig she would not be away long How, tlharefore, she got so far aa lon-don Bridge or Victoria Station is a. mystery. She has le&t no letters or documents wbi-cl-i cam fJirow any light on the m attar. Her a,wo,u,nte,.it Should be stalled, were in perfect ofrder. Deoeased, altihougih described as A Buxom Little Thing," was not over strong, and it is sug- gested that, whoever her companion was on the fataJ night—always sup- posing the oast to be one of murder—must have friigihitened her, causing her to faint. Then, fearing dhe was dead, her companion opened the door of the carriage, threw her out, and closed the door, tbua effect"ally warding off suspicion Wheu the train arrived ait tfhe next stopping-place. Her shop com- panion said, It is absolutely impossible to jima-gine thiat she contemplated suicide. She would be singling all day, and would run up and down stairs ae happy as a lark." Deceased's full nalme waa Mary Sophia Money. Brother Interviewed Mr. Richard Henry Money, of Kingston Hill, brother of deceased, stated to a. Prtes representative that he had no reason to sus-pect suicide. Former Murder Recalled Meretha-m Tunnel, which is akotit a, mile in length, came into prominence in the year 1881, when Mr. Gold, a prosperous baker, was murdered by Percy Lefroy Maple ton. One afternoon in June of thiat year Mr. Gold, who had been to London Bridge to draw oerta-in dividends, entered, a. compartment of the train, which, after leaving London Bridge, was not booked to sitop until Preston Park, Brighton, was reaohed. Just before its depar- ture a young man also entered the compart- ment, and took a. seat exactly opposite Mr. Gold. As the train passed through Horley two men were seen from a cottage window to be struggling together, but the occupants of the cottage thought nothing of the inci- dent., believing at the time thaib the two men were only engaged in horseplay. However, subsequently this testimony was of great value in the evidence for the prosecution. When the train drew up at Preston Park a, young man, when going to the ticket- col-lector, complained that he had been the "viotinl of a. terrific aasault, and that his assailant had left the train. A railway I porter notiood. that protruding from the man's 4 boot was a gold wa.tch and obad-n,. When this was referred to the man said he had placed it there for safety, whereas, in fact, it was the property of ilr. Gold. The man gave a certain name and address, and was aJlowed to go. An exa.raina/tion of the Baicombe Tunnel, aliout five miles from Horley, was made, and the body of Mr. Gold discovered, he having b-sen shot and thrown out of the carria-ge. Lefroy Mapleton disappeared, but was subsequently found at Stepney, his land- lady having identified her lodger by means of a sketch portrait. It was subsequently ascertained that Mr. Gold was first attacked in the Mcrsuha-in Tunnel, the struggle lasting for nearly half an hour, terminating when he was thrown cut in the Ba loom be Tunnel. Although he was defended with the greatest ability by the late Mr. Montague Williams, Lefroy was convicted, after three days' trial, before the late Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, at Maidstone, and he was hanged at Lewes.

Magistrate Summoned. J.P.'S SEVENTH APPEARANCE At Haverfordwest Petty-sessions on Monday (before the Mayor and other magistrates) John Charles Lyons, an Irish justice of the peace, who has been living in the town since his return from Sourh Africa, where he served with the Pembrokeshire Imperial Yeomanry, was again summoned for being drunk and disorderly in Haverfordwest, this being his seventh appearance on this charge within twelve months. Superintendent Francis intimated that he intended proceeding under the Habitual Inebriates Act. The defendant did not appear, and the case was adjourned for a fortnight, the superin- tendent being granted a warrant if neces- sary to enforce Lyons's appearance.

I BARNUM'S EGRESS I A few nights ago a man and his ffumily were passing along in front of the Crystal Palace when the man noticed a legend on the glass panels of the large doors which, apparently, 'he had never seen before. He asked his wife, "What does TUO YAW mean, dear?" "I don't exactly remember," replied his better half, "though I've seen it often enough somewhere." They appealed to a. girl, then to a boy of fourteen or fifteen yea,rs of age, the father remarking, "Ada doesn't know, but Johnnie oughter as he was in the hex-sixth standard when he left school." But the ex-sixth boy "didn't learn them things," he said. The man suggested that, perhaps, it was "this new lan- guage," and he grew quite snappy when a bystander hinted that if he paid a. shilling to go in and read the legend from the other side he would find that it was the old lan- ¡ guage for "Way Out," or Barnum's Egress!

Mr. Sims prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury, and Mr. Muir (instructed by Mr. Freke Palmer) appeared for the defence. The first witness to-day was James Shuttle, who resumed his former evidence. He said that he saw defendant in January, 1904, at his residence in Albert-gate. Witness Raid, "Tom has sent mo; you want a job done." Witness had previously seen Tom. Mr. Watt replied, "Walk up towards the barracks, and I'll be out in a minute." Witness did e-o, and Mr. Watt joined him. They went into Hyde Park, and Mr. Watt eaid, "What shall I call you?" Witness replied, "Arthur." Mr. Watt said, "Have you ever done time?" to which witness replied that he had done five years for hitting a woman with a bar of iron. That was not true. Mr. Watt then said, I Want a Woman Done In. I Will you do it?" Witness replied, "Yes." Mr. I Watt then said- Her name is Mrs. Watt. She lives at 15, Chapel-street, Grosvenor-place. The best thing to do her in with is some chloroform. How much will it cost? Witness replied, About 15s." Watt gave him 2s. to get something to eat, and added- Come to my house in twenty minutes' time, and I'll give you a pair of boots. If any of my servants come to the door say your name is Howse, and you used to be my valet at St. George's-sciua-re. 'Mr. Watt also said, "After the job is done I'll give you L100," and said he would meet him I again at Hobart-place, Grosvenor-place, at nine o'clock, but that he was before that to go -to his house at Albert-gate. Witness went to the house. Mr. W,a;tit, gave him a promised pa.ir of boots, and again told him to be at I' Hobart-place art- nine o'clock. Witness ptawned the booats tihe nexit day. They met at Hobart-place at nine o'clock, and Watt gave fcslm P. sovereign, and told ham he wa.s to go and see Mre. Wa.tt in CShapel-aireet and say .he wths the brother of Howse, who waa i.n India with, his regiment. Another appointment- was made for tihe next night. Witness then told the defendant that he had discovered that Mrs. Watt had. gone to Harro- gate. That, however, was not true. Defen- dant- said, You had better go there a.t once." Sensation in Court I Mr. SLms: For wnat purpose? Witness: To murder her. (Sensation.) Mr. Sims: Did he say tiba.:? Witness: Yes, eir. Witness continued that l.a.ter Mr. Watt gave him R6 and told him to I go to Karr-ogia-t-e at once, adding that he Should for him every night t-iil he came baek nea.r Stanhope gate.

Harvey epoke to the defen- dant this Sunday night, while witness i watched, Harvey having the bottle in his ha.nd at the time. On returning Harvey showed 6e. Witness did not after that see Watt to speak to, nor did Harvey, so far as he knew. Some time after theit he went again to Mrs. Watt, and saw her on the 30th of January, 1904. While he was speaking to her Poliee-serge-ant Tanner appeared from an inner room, ques- tioned him, and then took him to a police- station, where witness made a statement and signed it. In March, 1904, witness admitted i he was sent -to prison for assault. While serving his term he wrote a letter to Afr. Watt, at Albert-gate, and gave it open to a warder to be posted.

No answer came to the letter. On the 28th of August this year owing to what he had seen in the papers, witness went to Scotland Yard and made a statement. Mr. Sims here interposed Sir Reginald Beauchajnp, Bart., who, he said, had attended at some inconvenience. Witness, who gave his address ae Langley Park, Norwich, se-id he was formerly the husband of Lady Violet I Beauohamp, but obtained a dissolution of hia marriage with her on the ground of her mie- conduct with Watt. When in town he lived in Hill-street, a.nd generally lunched at the Carlton Club, returning home in the evening. Quoting from His Diary, Sir Reginald gave the dates of his movements between his town and country houses, and also of his visits abroad in go far as they were regpard-ed as material to the caee and to the evidence of other witnesses. Cross-examined by Mr. Muir, Sir Reginald said that the divorce case was undefended. His lawyer suggested to Watt that he should settle C500 a year on Lady Violet, and that WM done. Since that time (1901) he had had nothing to do with Watt. Witness did not know whether when he was ill Lady Violet sent to inquire a.fter him. Mr. Louis Seeling, of Ascot (whose wife is Mrs. Watt's sister) gave evidence as to Mrs. Watt's- movements in so far as they affect the ease. Cross-examined, witness said he did not know of any benefit tha.t Watt would get by Mrs. Seeling's death. Mr. Charles O'Malley, clerk to Messrs. Rtsesell, Mra. Watt's solicitors, gave evidence ] as to the divorce proceedings which Mrs. Watt had taken against her husband. The decree, he said, had never been made a.bsolute. Wit- ness also spoke to the visit of Shuttle and Harvey, about whom Mrs. Watt had pre- viously communicated with his firm. He aft-er- wards gave information to the police. Cross-examined, witness said that the divorce proceedings were still pending in the sense, and the sense only that the decree had not been made absolute. It could only be j made absolute by the petitioner. The Magistrate: And the petitioner can hang it up indefinitely. Witness expressed the opinion that the! efTect of the decree not being made absolute was to prevent either of the parties being able to marry again. Mr. Muir differed from this, suggesting that the decree became absolute if, as in this case, nothing was shown to the contrary within fix months. Re-examined, witness pointed out that the decree nisi was a conditional decree. The accepted pra-ctice was that after six months the decree was made absolute on tiling docu- ments if the King's Proctor did not intervene. On the resumption of the proceedings a prison warder gave evidence as to Shuttle hiavilfig in May, 1904, written a. letter whicA was officially marked as a proper one for dispatch, and which was addressed to Mr. Watt at Albert-gate. A former hous-ema-id of Mr. Watt's at Chapel-street spoke to the visits of Shuttle and a.nother man to that lady's house in 1903; and other evidence was given with a view to confirming the former witnesses' statement. tBroceed'n*.)

I COLLIER AND NIECEI I SHOCKING DISCLOSURES AT ABERDARE. Are you living with your own niece, and have you had children- by her?" This was the question that startled tbe Aberdare PoMce-court. to-d8.Y. It was put by Mr.' W. Thomas, solicitor, Aberdare, toO Elms Pugh, an Abona-mian. oollier. Pugh asked the benrih to reduce a m-aintenanice order of 9s. per! week made against him two years ago, because he could not. now earn as much money as formerly. He was represented by I Mr. Griffith P. Davies, solicitor. When the above question was pnt. to Pugh he hesitated, but subsequently admitted that he lived with his niece and had had two chil- II dren by her. He furtiher stated that the cot- in which he lived with his niel-e was his II own property. Mr. W. Thomas: How muoh aTe you ra arrears under the maintenance order your r&al wife obtained? Pugh: I think it is abolit 28s. Mr. W. Thomas: Do you know the arrears come to over Pugh: It mi-grat. The Stipendiary: There is a. big difference between £ 14 and 25s. Pagh: Oh, yes, there is. The Stipendiary: I should tihi-nk so. (La-ughiter.) Mr. W. Thomas: Are tihe two daughters by your real wife ill? Pugh: I don't know. Mr. W.

An Obstinate Socialist! POLICE DEFIED AT NEW TREDEGAR At Tredegar Police-court to-day Thomas Eynon, 28, collier, New Tredegar, was sum- moned for obstructing the highwa.y by causing a crowd to assemble at Aberbargoed ou Sunday, September 17. Police-sergeant Humphrey said that the defendant was ,addressing a large crowd on socialism, infidelity, labour, and politics. The Olerk: A good programme. Proceeding, witness said the street was completely blocked. He had cautioned the defendant privately and in public, but with- out avail, and he gathered those crowds, in defiance of the police. The Clerk: The subject of his lecture was not agreeable to the j>eople? Witness: No. The crowd was very hostile, and frequent appeals had to be made for ,order. Mr. T. J. Thomas, who defended, said that Eynon was quite willing to desist if others were not allowed to hold gatherings. T'he Clerk: Why doesni he go up on the mountain to air his vie^er Mr. Thomas He will undertake not to do it in the future. Police-superintendent Saunders said tha.t tbe defendant held similar meetings at Tredegar, and his speeches caused argu- ments that might result in street disturbr a-nces. He had cautioned him. Defendant was cautioned, and ordered to pay the cots, Mr. Thomas givin ga-n under- taking that the offence would not be re- peated.

SPORT OF THE DAY. Moonstruck has left too Ourragh to be trained by T. Ooulthwaite at Hednesford. Mr. W. L. Long-worth, of Harwich, will not run horses under National Hunt Rules this winter. Mark Time bas run in 32 races since January last year, has won fifteen, and been ¡ second in nine others. I The following notice can be seen painrted on ¡ part of the Lewes crace stand: Police station and locl.-up.-4s. to holders of railway admis- [Blion tickets." There is no truth in the report, that has got (abroad that the Frenah horse Cai-as hae í arrived at Newmarket to finish his prepara- tion for the Cambridgeshire under the charge of R. Day. Sir Tartton Sykes has purchased the dual Oambridgeehire winner, H-aokle? e Pride, from Oaptain Frank Forester, far 5,000 guineas, and! the brilliant daughter of Ha-ckler now goes to the stud. "I always fine bookmakers 25, If it w38 for fifty days I should fine them £5 a day," said the magistrate a.t Marlborough-etreet Police-court on Saturday in dealing with a street betting case. Mr. Sol Joel sails for South Afrioa. em October 21, and intends combining business with racing. He sends out several horses from his Newma.rket stud, and C. Peck's head man goes with them. The Durban Turf Club have prevented book- makers operating on their racecourse, where the totalisator is in vogue. An exchange to hand says that "the public do not. take kindly to the abolition of bookmakers."

ILLANBRADACH SHACKLER'S DEATH Mr. Coroner R. J. Rhys oondtieted an inqnept I a.t Llanbr-ad-a-eh this morning on the body of David Jenkine, 27, a married man, with one child, who was a, shaokler at Llanbradiaoh No. 2 Pit, and who lost his life on Saturday last by becoming entMIgloo in » winding rope. Mr. Dyer Lewis, his Majesty's Inspector of •Mines, was present, ae were also Mr. S. Gregory, the colliery manager, and Mir. Abraham EyanEi (for the Miners' Federation). From the evidence of David Smith, a. master haulier, it appeared that it vras the duty of a man named Dyer to see that the blocking rope lay properly between the limes when not in use. At the time of the accident Dyer wae out of tbe pit, and the blocking rope in qnes- tion fouled the wildiug rope, and t-hus caught the unfortunate man. As Dyer was not in attendance, the Coroner, wteo ooneidered his evidence important, I decided to adjourn the inquiry uutil to-mor- lOW morning. i ■
