.MICI.IIOI KM May 3. Frederick liailoy Deeming was on Monday found guilty by the jury which' tried liini for the murder of his wife at Windsor. The jury in addition to, the verdict proper stated that it did not consider the prisoner insane. After tho evidence was all in Decininir's eou use 1 appealed to the jury to give the prisoner DIXMING. the benefit of any doubt that they might entertain as to his sanity. The crown counsel contended that there was not a particle of evidence of I he insanity of the prisoner, and he said that the jury ought to dismiss all such nonsense from their minds.

Dccmiiij I'len for Himself. At this point Deeming interrupted the crown counsel. It was not the law, he said, but the press, that was trying him. If he could bring himself to believe that he committed murder he. would plead guilty rather than submit to the (faze of the people in the court—the ugliest, race he had ever seen. .Some of the witnesses against him had deliberately lied. Whatever he could say would be disbelieved. llis witnesses had been Wept, out of the way. I'eople had fiworn to seeing liini whom be bad never seen in bis life. No time bad been allowed him t'o communicate with bis witnesses in ling-land and India. It was not pleasant to confess to disease, mental or other, but be had determined to do BO iu justice to himself and the community. For weeks together he bad suffered lapses of memory. In his own mind he was not guilty. As long- as Emily Mather bad been llis wife he had dealt with .her a* gently and as affectionately as it was possible for any man to do. The prisoner, continuing his remarks, said: "I remember no incident which uld lend to this mvtul crime with which I am charged. 1 know that Hie people of Mr^i'iurm- urn so larurinted ana ins me that they would lynch me If they hud dinner. That, however, would not settle the question of my guilt or innocence. The statement that the body round in thts city was that of Emily Mather Is it lie. The newspapers le.ve ruined my life forever. If I were free to nii ht 1 would drown myself. I have fought tlio blacks on the Zambesi ami have encountered lions single-handed. I do not tear death. I do not expect justice from the JuiWr. the jury or the public. Instead or the trial belun postponed so as to enable my counsel to collect evidence showing my Innocence of the Horrible crime for which 1 am beinit tried ror my life, it was lixed to occur when the public was enraged against me."

Verdict or (iuilty Would He a Itelier. Deeming minutely criticised the evidence and declared that a verdict, of guilty would be the greatest relief to him. He said that his use of assumed nainos was a fad with him.

After the verdict was announced Deeming asked the judge to refrain from the usfial exhortation. The judge' complied with thit prisoner's wish, and simply announced the sentence of death. Deeming composedly replied: "Thank you."

Talked Tor an llour.' .'.

When the sentence of death bad been pronounced Deeming said that after his death the public would soon know his real history. It was better that the law should destroy him than he should destroy himself. He would only like to know that Miss l'ouseuville believed him innoecut. In a strong voice lie continued to ramble in a similar strain for a long time, lleaehing the rails for support lie concluded by swearing that lie was innocent, lie spoke altogether nil hour, giving no sign of hesitation or nervousness. The judge's summing up was strongly against the prisoner. l'lUlNel Willi till* VortlW'l.

Outside of the courthouse a large rowd assembled, ami they wei'c clamorously impatient for the verdict. They finally became so demonstrative and noisy that the police were forced to :lear tlio streets. The announcement .if the verdict was greeted with expressions of general satisfaction, for no one believes there is a particle of doubt ax to Deoming's guilt, not only of the murder here, but of those committed at l'.ainhill, near Liverpool.

A Colri-Hloo«lc«l Mon*ter.

The evidence which h»H come to llirht shite tho discovery of the murder of Deeming'* 1u*t »vlfe, for which he has just hern Mnjtoneeil to death, proves him to bo the most eoldblooded monster of modern times. Tho murier, which took place in a small house in Windsor, one of the suburbs of Melbourne, was Ustovereti through un effort to let the huu»c to another tenant. It hud been vacant for ibout two months and on entering the kitchen the* landlord and the lady to whom he was showing the house noticed a terrible stench, further examination led to the calling of the police and the removal-of the aoarthstone. There the body wus found under freshly laid cement floor, in front oi the iritchen IIreplace. The skull was fractured, the face was beaten in, the head nearly severed from the body, and the body was doubled up mil pressed down, so as to inaUe It lit in the jnmll space.

Ill* Arrcwt.

Deeming wan arrested in western Australia, tndsoon after it developed thnt'within a few days of the murder he had projtosuti marriage to a young girl whom he had met on the coasting steamer which from the chief ports of the Dm colonies round to King George's *ound and Frecmantle on the western coast. The evidence of this girl, the letter froni the murderer and the presents he offered her proved Important links In the chain of evidence against hT.i and showed that long immunity had niado bim recUlcss. further llorrlbli* Discoveries.

Tho discovery of the murder at Windsor wan snhled to Kuglaud and investigation led to furthersturtllngdiscoveries. Krorn Mrs. Mather, mother of the murdered woman, facts were learned which enabled the IKlice to unearth & long series of most atrocious crimes. One day last July uiau who gave l:la

Duriiif tjie negotiations he became actiuuintei with Miss Mather, and, after a brie! courtship, lie married her last September. A few days a! :er Williums' arrival in Kainhill h: was visiitd on one or two tueaslous by Htrungu woman, accompanied by :,eveml chil dren. The woman and children suddeu ly disappeared, and Williums accounted for. this by saying that the womai was his sister and that she had gom to join her husband iu I'ort Said.

Nof the ••Kipper."

The poeuUar atrocity of these murders sug* suggested to many the theory that -Deenv ing was "Jack the Hipper.'' and he soon backet) It up by a "confession." From the lirst. however, the Scotland Yard authorities scouted iht Idea. The theory was founded on plausible state mentg about alleged mysterious disap|earanot's from Hainhlll on dates corresponding to the ripper murders, on Ueemlng's per soiml appearance and on the supposed re semblance of his handwriting to thai mi th postal cards signed ••Juck the Kipper" and received in Scotland Yard. Subjected, how over, to the severer test of comparison with Dccming's known movements, his presence it Knglish jails and in South Africa at certain dutes, the theory fell to pieces. Deeming and his counsel encouraged the idea that he was tin Whitechapel iiend in order to sustain the theory of uncontrollable homicidal mania.
