South Wales Echo

I The Report in the Times." LETTER FROM THE CARDIFF j CORRESPONDENT. I TO Ttir, InITOTt. oflt,—Seeing that I am so pointedly alluded to in the columns of your Tory contemporary tbil; wonting, as the author of a report in the Times alleged to bi misleading and inacccime, and as it is asserted in the Cardiff Conservative paper that I was never near the scene of the onslaught by the police upon the public at Carditf on Wednes- day night, will you allow me to state exaotly what I know from my own personal observation ? Shortly before the hoitr of twfelve on Wednesday night I left the office of the South Wales Daily News for the Liberal Clob, and prooeeded down I St. Mary-street as far as the Theatre Royal. When there. however, I saw repeated rushes on the partof the public, who bad in one huge crowd at the bottom of the street, and who appeared to be endeavouring to escape from the attacks of tile police. Seeing the threatened danger I diverted iny course, arid passing through the arcade arrived at the Liberal CIuo by means of a circuitous route along the caual Side. I was in the club at the tone that the police bore down upon the crowd of inoffensive people in front of it, and I am in a position to give the mimes of tfiftny gentlefnen of position in the town who saw me in the dining-room, and upon the ba coiiy, while the police were engaged in their hrutal attack upon a quiet and peaceabie collection of eitiseoe. Not only did I see the truueheons used, but, when in the bar, I distinctly beard the Cradking of skulls. I also saw men carried bleeding and helpless, into the lobby of the club and therefore it will be perceived that my account in the Timet, which has been called in question, Was based upon my own personal observation in 81t far as concerns what went on in and around the Liberal Ciub. Of the proceedings at the bottom of St. Mary-street I know nothing from personal observation, for, as I have stated, I avoided the crowd there by passing through the arcade, but iny account of the action of the police at this spot was written on the basi3 of in- formation received from dozens of thoroughly reliable sources. The assertion in your Tory contemporary to the effect that the Times report was penned under pressure," is too contemptible to be seriously noticed. No one in Cardiff saw it but myself and the tele- graph clerk who despatched it, whilst not a single word of it was inspired by any outside individual. It is true that the report bears a striking resem- blance to that in the South Wales Dooly News, the explanation being that I also wrote that account, the substance of which was sent to the Times later in the day, after the lacts had been again enquired into and fully gubstantiated. It will be noticed that in the letter which the editor of your Tory contemporary professes to have addressed to the fames, he carefully avoids any allusion to the disgraceful conduct of the police outside of the Liberal Club.—I am, &c., "TIMES" CORRESPONDENT. P.S.—Since writing the above I have searched the columns of the Times but can find no letter from the editor ot your Tory contemporary. It ie, therefore, quite clear that the conductors of the Times discredit the outrageous statements which this letter contains, and that they have declined to circulate obvious untruths by pub- lishing such a communication as that to which Mr Carr has lent his name.

FURTHER NARRATIVES. I Frederick Hollyman, 37, Scott-street, makes a statement in corroboration of the account of the police riots that appeared in the columns of the South Wala Daily New. He says that be was in the middle of the crowd, and saw the two stones thrown at the windows of the Western Mail office, but beyond that no stones were thrown, and the crowd were in no way boisterous. No one aeked them to disperse, and the rush of police was as sudden as it was unexpected. He has the numbers of two policemen (B 34 and B 68) who were amongst the first to commit the assault. They struck people who bad been the quietest in the crowd. One of them (tJ 79) he heard swearing and cursing in a terrible way, and saying, If you don't go home I'll give it you as you don't forget." He also saw Tamplin charge the people, and he is certain no pistol was tired. He adds, There's always one law for the Liberals and another for the Tories here." He is prepared to come before the commissioners and give evidence. Joshria Price, 7, Kilcattan-street, states that be was going through Custom House-street over the bridge about a quarter to one. The policemen were then drawn up in line across the bridge, and the crowd bad entirely dis- persed. When he was passing the last one he turned round to see the people who were making off in the distance. The policeman said "You had better go home or you'll get Burt." lIe replied "All right, I am going home; but I am in the middle of a public thorough fare ii nd I'm not interfering with anyone." He then turned round to go on his way, when the constable hit him severely on the head, and felled MíD to the ground. It was some time before be could get up and proceed on his way home. A young man named James O'Brien, a sailor, living in Bute-road, says he was in St Mary's. street on Wednesday night after the poll had been declared, and was trying to rescue two young women from the crowd, when a policeman rushed after him and tried to strike him with his staff. O'Brien adds that the policeman was too drunk to do .0,' and then kicked him, injurieg him severely in a delicate part of the bokjy. The unfortunate man has been in bed two days.

CRITICAL CONDITION OF A FEMALE. We understand that Mary Kennedy, 13, Sandon-place, who was bit on the head by a policeman on Wednesday night, lies in a very precarious condition. It appears that she was enceinte, and the assault has had such an effect upon her that it has been deemed necessary to summon two doctors. TO THE BDITOR OF THE "ECHO." SlR,-I did not intend to trouble you with my opinions on the conduct of the police on Wednes- day night, bur as tbo whole matter his been 80 persistency misrepresented by the oracle at the bottom of the street, may I just be allowed to state that in company with the Rev George HKrfreaves I waited for the declaration of the poll, and immediately afterwards .ve passed down St Mary's-street, expecting that Sir Edward Reed, and probably the defeated candidate, would address the crowd from the balcony of the Royal Hotel. While we were wr.it'ng the police made two efforts to irritate the people by hustimg ana jostling them in the most unceremonious an i unnecessary manner. But the crowd received it with forbear ance, as if a«term-neJ that no act of retaliation on their part wi'Ui'.t mar toe great victory that their c<>mm«n sense and intti;isg<jne-i had so spien('Hiiiy WJII. Someone cr.eo The Liberal Ciua." and immediately a move wa,- tnada in that direction. Passing the Western Mail offices, expressions of disapproval were unanimous at the bad taste shown aud evident indention to incite to riot, by t he exhibition oi vulgar and grotesque car- toons of Liberal statesmen. Especially was the temper oi the crowd tried by the shamefully distorted representation of Mr GUidstone and I saw three or four atones turewn at the canvas. One stone, hurled evidently by an :rae.nr, spirit, missed its mark und broke the window, which, I regret to see, was declared to be broken by a huiiet. There was no pistol tired from that crowd. T" mdee sujii a statement is an insult to tne thousands of respectable citizens who assembled in their absolute right to glorify their principles, and to do honour to th<» victor woo had fought and won their battle. I saw the window broken—at least I heard the glass break, and I drew attention to those who were standing beside me that a stone had broken the window and I repeat it. There was no pistol tired then. If there was it was fired inside the building. With the exception oi three or four stones that were thrown at the canvas there was no stoup- throwing by the crowd, and as some attempts been maue to attach such a charee to the Irish people, who were present, I can say that snrrouuding me were a few d<-z ;n of Irishmen and Trvhwomeu and when the stones were 6mig at the offensive cartoons thty loudly remonstrated against it. What followed you have aiready mlly toil, and I nave no wish to aim a blow at the police who have so flagrantly and wilfully exceeded their duty. But it is painful to read the letter which the chief constable has addressed to you, in which he state. that there was a Hot on Wednesday night. That statement will be thrown back at him with scorn. There was no riot. The crowd was orderly and peace. able throughout, and manifested the most. admirable forbearance and good temper. The Western it 1 ail did their utmost to incite to riot, and that which tuey failed to accomplish was promptly taken in hand by the police. They also, in spite of their determined outrage, failed to produce a riot. But a full inquiry mto the whole matter will be demanded by the public, and then we shall know who Are to blame tor those d:c'gl'<ícantl proceedings wnich are at once an insult and a libel upon a loyal and law-abiding people.—I am, &c., W. JOHNSTON. 28, Prince Leopold street, Cardiff. July 10,1836. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-After seeing to-uay o many injured persons, the reult of the terrible outrage by the police last night, I would like to toll you what I saw myself. After the declaration of the poll I went up St. Mary-street, and I heard two or three stones tnrown at the window ot the Western Mail office, but no attempt was again made to throw stones. At that very time I saw the policemen coming down. Mr Hemingway was not there with them. The police made a shame- ful rush at the people, striking them right and left without having tned persuasion. It was terrible to see them. The peop:e were quiet, and no stones had been thrown for two or three minutes. I turned away from the scene, for 1 thought there would be murder, and as I reached opposite Wood-street I met Mr Hemingway, so that it is utterly false for anyone to say thnt the people were asked to go away by Mt Hemingway. —I am, &c., T. THOMAS. Cardiff, 8tb July, 1886. TO THE EDITOR. SIB,-As an eye-witness of the barbarous behaviour of the Cardiff police. supported by county police, and led by Cardiff police-officers, at Pentre, Rhondda Valley, on the evening of polling day, November election, 1885. I can bear testimony that they acted at Pentre in the same manner as that attributed to them by Mr John Duncan and others at Cardiff. It is utter trifling with the matter for the town police to blame the county police, or vice versa, as in the Pentre case it was the Cardiff police who taught the county police their atrocious tactics. Had such acts taken place in Eastern Europe, say in Russia or Turkey, England would resound with pious execrations.—I am, &c., EVAN ISAAC EVANS. Ystrad Rhondda, 9th July, 1886. TO THE EDITOR. I SJR,-I find by a statement made by Super- intendent Price in the police-court to-day, and published in the Echo this evening, that my brother, John Harris, had been convicted five times previous to the present conviction. I give this statement a flat contradiction, and say that be has only been convicted once. aud that was when he was a mere boy.—I am, &c., THOMAS HARRIS. Cardiff, July 9, 1886* TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-I have read the account in the South Wales Daily News of the riot in St. Mary-street on Wednesday night last. The statements con- cerning the action of the police are inaccurate. The charge against the police is a great reflection against myself and the force, and I respectfully ask the public to suspend their judgment until an official enquiry, which, I hope, will be held, takes place.—I 4m, &c., W. HEMINGWAY, Head Constable.

The Illness of Alderman Stone. Upon enquiry at one o'clock to-day, our repre- sentative was informed that Ald. Stone was rapidly sinking, and could not be expected to live more than a couple of hours. On enquiring at Mr Stone's office shortly before nve, we were inforn.ed that he has not improved since morning. It is feared that he will not be able to live through the night, and ilS only owinir to his splendid constitution that he has not succumbed before.

TRAGEDY AT CHESTER CASTLE. I At Chester, yesterday, an inquest was held on the body of Corporal Robert Jones, of the Royal Lancashire Regiment, stationed at Lancaster. Deceased, who had gone to Chester to fetch away a prisoner, rose from his bed at midnight, opened a window, and leapt clear out, receiving injuries which terminated in death. At Lancaster deceased was accustomed to sleep on the ground floor, and it was stated he was in the habit of leaving the room by the window instead of the door. Deceased in his sleep, thinking he was in his old quarters rose from his bed, walked across the floor, opened the window, and fell a distance of 15 feet on to some railings. A verdict of Accidental death was returned. I

EXTRAORDINARY ELECTION I BLUNDER. Some of the officials connected with the Dorset elections have made a blunder whereby the poll- ing in the Corscombe district, which should have commenced to-day, has been delayed. On the ballot boxes being opened they were found to contain ballot papers for the Eastern division instead of the Western division, and consequently the returning officers in that district ware unable to proceed with the election, Uix- ;r; toiegriiris werw at uiiii sent for proi.vr Puiiiug was delayed until two o'clock,

SOUTH GLAMORGAN I ELECTION. I Return of Mr A. J. Williams. The poll for South Glamorgan was declared at the Town Hall, Cardiff, this morning as follows I r J. Williams G. L. 3497 J. Mowatt U. L 2177 Majority for A. J. Williams 1320 The declaration of the result of the poll was awaited by A crowd of several hundred persons, who had assembled in the yard of the Town-hali, and when, for the purpose of making it known, Mr Clement Waldron, the returning officer, accompanied by Mr A. J. Williains, the successful candidate, appeared at the window they were greeted with hearty cheering. Mr Waldron announced the result as given above. The numbers polled on behalf of Mr Williams were received with lo::d cheers, but groans met the name of Mr Mowatt and those polled for him. Mr A. J. WILLIAMS, M P., who was re- ceived with renewed cheering, then said :— Electors of South Glamorgan division, I return you my heartfelt thanks for the zeal and the devotion which you have shown under significant circumstances, not to me only cut to the great cause which we all have at heart. (Cheers.) But 1 cannot fail also to recognise that in this business of the last few days there has been shown to me, personally, an an amount of feeling and kindness, and of generous co-operation and work which, has touched me deeply. I will say no more. You know I do not like cherishing anything unfriendly or unkindly. We have been compelled to fight this battle. We have fought it with good humour, with patience, and with forbearance. It is one gratification to me that it has brought out expressions of sympathy for myself and of devotion to our great and heroic leader-(cheers)-which I am sure will be a satisfaction to him, and it has shown significantly that whatever may be the current of opinion and voting throughout the kingdom, Glamorgan re-- mains the premier county—(cheers)—with no Tory and no Unionist within its borders. And now, my friends, let me, in conclusion, express my hearty thanks to Mr Waldron, the returning officer, for the kindness and the courtesy which he has shown in the discharge of his arduous duties. (Loud cheers.) At the clo ;e of Mr Williair.s's remarks there were loud and repeated calls for Mr Mowatt, but that gentleman didnot respond. Mr Hall (Liberal agent for Cardiff) informed the crowd that he had gone away, a remark which evoked derisive laughter and cheering. Mr A. J. WILLIAMS, M.P., at length re- turned to the window and said I am very much afraid-and I deeply regret it—that Mr Mowatt was not aware the declaration of the poll would be made here. I am sure that is the explanation of his not being presént, and he is not absent for any want of courtesy to you. The crowd then dispersed, and before Mr Williams left the hall ft number of his friends heartily congratulated him upon his success. Mr Williams after leaving' the Town Hall was escorted to the Liberal Club by a large number of his supporters, and was received with the cheers of the bystanders till he reached the club. The newly-elected mem- ber then entered, and in response to the calls of those who had gathered outside, he appeared on the balcony and said Gentlemen, as I believe that some of you came from Penarth and the other places round about here, I wish to thank you, and I wish to thank my constituency for the way in which you have helped to gain this vic- tory. (Cheers.) The result is a compensa- tion for the unnecessary contest forced upon us. After all, it is the best thing that could have happened to us. (Hear, hear.) It has done this for us, that we have won the biggest victory that has been gained throughout the country against a Liberal Unionist. (Cheers.) We have sent him home about his business with a majority that has not been gained elsewhere in this election against a Liberal candidate who has forsaken his party. We have taught these gentleman a lesson, and have proved to them the impossibility of turning a Welsh con- stituency against the old cause. (Cheers.) I don't wish to say anything unkind against Mr Mowatt in this business. 1 believe he will return from the political desert into the paths of pleasantness, and peace, which are only to be found with- in the old Liberal fold with the great man as our shepherd. (Cheers.) Well, you have heard enough speeches lately. (Cries of "Go on.") I am going away from you for a little but I will return in a short time to see that you are still continuing in the straight way and ready for another fight. I would rather go through another election than have the Tories get into power. (Cheers.) Good-bye. I shall be amongst you in a few weeks to spend the rest of the year with you. (Loud cheers.) The crowd then dispersed. The total number of electors on the poll is 8,806. Of this total 5,674 Recorded their votes, whilst there were 43 spoiled papers. This leaves no less than 3,132 abstentors, the poll thus being a small one. I

Their defence Was that they had acci dentally tied a handkerchief too tightly round her neck to prevent her from screaming. They were found guilty, and both were sentenced to death. This is a judgment almost unprecedented I in France, where most murderers sib let off with transportation with life. Several years ago, however, two inen, Barre and Lebiez, were executed for the same kind of erimd. I

A "CORPSE" SITTING UP AND I TALKING. A singular story comes from Clinton, Ken- tucky. It appears that George O. Daniels, of that place, had been ill for several months, and last Wednesday, to all appearance died. The body was put in a coffin, where it remained for 20 hours, awaiting the arrival of relatives to attend the funeral. At midnighton Thursday thewatchers who surrounded the coffin were startled by a deep proan emanating from it, and all but one, a German of the name of Wabbekinp, rushed from the room. Wabbekmg remained, and as the groans continued. he raised the coffin-lid and saw that Daniels was alive. Seizing the body he placed it upright. A few spasmodic gasps, a shudder, and the corpse spoke. The relatives returned to find the man sitting in a chair and conversing with reasonable strength. Mr Daniels claims to have been perfectly conscious of every- thing that passed around him, but says he was unable to move a muscle. He heard the sobs of his relatives when he was pronounced dead by the doctors, and noticed the preparations for the funeral. He is about 80 years of age.

FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN WOMEN,' Mary Bruton, a married woman, was charged before the Bristol magistrates, yesterday, with causing the death of Mary Maloney, 37 years of age, the wife of Uriah Maloney; of It, Church-street, Temple, Bristol. The evidence was to the effect that .n Saturday night the deceased was seen to pass down Chnrch-street and speak to the prisoner's husband. Accused at once went up to Maloney and asked what she had been speaking to her husband about. Deceased answered, "Oh J No." Mrs Bruton then lifted her fist and struck deceased a blow on the head, which knocked her down. Prisoner upon being remonstrated with for her conduct by several neigh- bours threatened to serva them in a like manner. Deceased was raised, but ¡'jund Lo be insensible. Her right side seemed to ba paralysed. She recovered somewhat, but as a fit subsequently intervened she was removed to the Bristol General Hospital, and ditld on Thursday from the effects of the blow and fall. Accused was remanded, awaiting the of tho coroner's inouest. I

SPORTING ITEMS. A. White rode four races at Worcester of which he won three, end in each case good prices were obtained about his mounts. The live horses that went to the post for the Chesterfield Stakes, constituted the smallest field that had contested the race since 1873. Freedoin has not done so well since Ascot, but the filly will win races for the Duke of Westmin- ster, as she can be made a lot better than she is at the present time. The Duke of Beaufort has challenged for the Cup, of which the Duke of Hamilton is the pre- sent holder. The trophy will be run for at the Newmarket Houghton Meeting. The sale of the Blankney and Mentmora yearlings took place in Messrs Tattersall's pad- dock instead of in the large one at the rear of Primrose House, which is now in the occupation of Lord Durham. Cavalier at last atoned for his frequent dis- appointing performances this season by winning cleverly, and it subsequently transpired that his wilful nature was the chief cause that prevented Exning from winning the Visitors' Plate on Tuesday. Mr A. N. Hornby, in consequence of having severely sprained himself at Liverpool last week, was unable to play for Lancashire against York- shire at Manchester, and in his absence the home OBOuty was captained by Mr A. G. Stoel. freshwater, the winner of the Chesterfield Stakes at Newmarket was bought by Mr Benholm at the sale of the Mardea Deer Park year- lings iast year for 520 guineas. His dam, who is now 20 years old, was sold later on in the year for 100 guineas. Mr H. Chaplin's yearlings did not seli particu- larly well, the ale ven lots that changed bands only making 7,925 guineas, or an average of 792! guineas each, as compared with 19,560 guineas for twelve youngsters last year. when the average Was the extraordinary one of 1,630 guineas.
