MKMIOIMIXK,

May 3.-l-'relcri.K «a»

Deeming was oil .Monday found by tin' jury which trii'd him for tin: murder of liis wife at Windsor. The jury in addition to I hi- verdict proper stated that it did not consider the prisoner in Kane. After the evidence was all in Deeming" counsel uppealed to the jury to give the prisoner ni:i:Mi.\(i. the benefit of any doubt that tlu-y might entertain us to his sanity. The crown counsel contended that there was not a particle of evidence of the insanity of the prisoner, and he said that the jury ought to dismiss all such nonsense from their minds.

I)i**iiiinjj'h I'luit lor Minis,-II. At this point Deeming interrupted Uncrown counsel. It was not, the law, he said, but tile press, that was trying him. If he could bring himself to believe that he committed murder he would plead guilty rather than subniit to the gaze of the people in the court—the ugliest race lie hail ever seen. Some of the witnesses i.gainst him had deliberately lied. Whatever he could say would be disbelieved. llis witnesses had been Wept out of the way. I'eople had sworn to seeing him whom he had never seen in his life. No time had been allowed him t'o communicate with his witnesses in England and India. It was not pleasant to confess to disease, mental or other, but he had determined to do so in justice to himself and the community. For weeks together he had suffered lapses of memory. In his own mind he was not guilty. As long as Emily Mather had been his wife he had dealt with .her ai gently and as affectionately as it was possible for any man to do. The prisoner, continuing his remarks. said: "I remember no Incident wlik-li wmld trail to tills awful crime with which I am •iKiri.-'-il 1 know Uiut the people of Melbourne are so infurinttvl aRninst rae that tliey would lynch me they hud a chunce. That, however, would not settle the question of my guilt or innocence. Tho statement thut the body found in tills city WHS that of Emily Mather Is lie. The newspapers lr.vt* ruined my life forever. If 1 were free to-night 1 woulil drown myself. 1 have fought the blacks on the Zambesi and have encountered lions single-handed. 1 do not foar death. I do not expect Justice from the judye, the jury or the public. Instead of the trial ipostponed -o as to enable my counsel to collect evidence •libwinu my Innocence of the hnn llile crime for which 1 am being tried for my life, it was tlxed to occur when the public was enrau'ed against me."

Verdict of Guilty AVmiltl He Keller. 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 names was a fad with liim.

After the verdict was announced Deeming asked the judge to refrain from the iisfial exhortation. The. judge* complied with thg, prisoner's wish, anil simply announced the sentence of Tfeath. Deeming composedly replied: "Thank .vou."

Talked for an Ilour.

When the sentence of death had 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. lie would only like to know that Miss Ilouscnville believed him innoeeut. Ill a strong voice lie continued to ramble in a similar strain for a long time, teaching the rails for support he concluded by swearing that lie was innocent, lie spoke altogether an hour, giving no sign of hesitation or nervousness. The judge's summing up was strongly against the prisoner. riciiKOil with (ho Vcrdh't.

Outside of the courthouse a large :rowd assembled, and they weiV clantarously impatient for the verdict. They finally became so demonstrative and noisy that the police were forced to ilear tho streets. The announcement af the verdict was greeted with expressions of generul satisfaction, for no one believes thereis a particle of doubt as to Rooming's guilt, not only of the murder here, but of those committed at amhill, near Liverpool.

A Cold-Hlooded Monster.

The cviilence which )MH come to ltpht since the discovery of the murder of Deeming hisi rtife, for which ho hut* just born sentenced to death, proves him to bo the most coldblooded mutmter of modern times. Tho murier, which took place in HIMAU house in Windsor, one of the suburbs of Melbourne, was Jiscovcred through an effort to lei the hou*e Jo another tenant* It hud been vacant for ibout two months ami on entering the kitchen the lundlord and the lady to whom he \v*is showing the house noticed a terrible stench, further examination led to the calling of the pollcc and the removal-of the lenrthstone. There the body wus found under freshly laid cement tloor, in front of the .(lichen tlreplace. The skull was fraetun.d, the face was beaten in, the head nearly severed from the-body, and the body was doubled up »nd pressed down, so as to make it lit in the imall spaeo. lli* Arrest.

Deeming was arrested In western Australia, indsoon after It developed thnt*uithin a few* Jays of the murder he had proposed marriage to a young girl whom he had met on the coasting steamer which runs from the chief jwrtH of tin' eastern colonies round to King (George's sound and Freemantlo on the western coast. The evidence of this girl, the letler from the murderer and the presents he offered her proved I important links in the chain of evidence agaiust

Uim and showed that long immunity hadmado biai reckless. Further Horrible Discoveries.

The discovery of the murder at Windsor was cabled to England and investigation led to rurlhcrstartllngdiscovones. KnmiMrs. Mather, mother of the murdered woman, facts were learned which enabled the |ohec to unearth long florlea of most atrocious rimes. One day luat July a IUUU who tfave lib

Not the ••Kipper."

The poculiar atrocity of these murders sug* suggested to many the theory that 'Deem* ing was "Jack the Hipper," and he soon hackee It up by a "eonfession." i-'rom the first, how ever, the Scotland Yard authorities scouted the Idea. The theory was founded on plausible statements about alleged mysterious' disapju-ar a noes from Itainhill on dates corresponding to the ripper murders, on lt.-emlng's per sonal appearance and on the supped re semblance or bis handwriting to thai on UK postal cards stoned Jack the Kipper" and received in Scotland Yaid.

Deeming and his counsel encouraged the idea that lie v.as the Whitechapel liend in order to sustain the theory of uncontrollable homicidal mauia.
