The body of the deceased was takeq,,out of the eab and brought into the station, a doctor being cent for at once. On his arrival, however, he found that life was quite extinct, and also that the handkerchief which was lightly drawn over the mouth was saturated with chloro- form. He had no hesitation in stating that from the way in which the handkerchief was placed,, and the presence of chloroform, a mur- der had been committed, and from all appearances the deceased died easily and without a struggle. The deceased is a slender man, of med- ium height, with a dark complex- ion, ion, and is dressed in evening dress, which will render identification difficult, as it is a costume which has not any distinctive mark to render it noticeable. There were no papers or cards found on the deceased from which his name could be discovered, and the clothing was C FIAP'TER J. II LI tT THE "alums" sato. • The following report appeared in The Argus newspaper of Saturday, the 28th d uly, 18-: "Truth is said to be stranger than fiction and certainly the ex- traordinary murder which took place in ' Melbourne on Thursday night, or rather Friday morning, g.Tes a long way towards verifying this saying. A crime has been cow-. witted by au unkhown assassin, within a short distance of the prin- cipal streets of this great city, and is surrounded -by an impenetrable mystery. Indeed, from the nature of the crime itself, the place where it was committed, and the fact that the assassin has escaped without leaving a trace behind biim,it would seem as though the case `itself had . been taken out of one of Gaborean's novels, and that his fawoils detec- tive Leeocq only would be able to unravel it. The facts of the ease are simply these: "On the 27th of July, at the hour of twenty minutas to 2 o'clock in the worning, a hansom cab diove up to the police station, in Grey not marked in any way. The street, St. Kilda, and the driver handkerchief, however, which was made the startling statement that his cab contained the body of a man whom he had reason to believe had been murdered. "Being taken into the presence of the inspector, the cabman, who gave his name as Malcolm Yoyston related the following strange Ltory: "At the hour of 1 o'clock in the lnorning, he was driving down Col- lins street East,when he was passing the burke and Willis monument he was hailed by a gentleman standing at the corner of Scotch church. He iwmdeiately drove up, anis saw that the gentleman -who hailed him was supporting the deceased, who appeared to be very intoxicated, both wero in evening dress, but the deceased had no overcoat on, while the other wore a short covert coat 'of a light fawn color, which was open. As Royston drove up, the gentleruan in the light coat said, 'Look here, cabby, here's some fel- low awfully tight, you had better take him home!" "Royston then asked him if the drunken man was his friend, but this the Other denied, saying that he had just picked him up from the foot path, and that he did not know him from Adam. At this moment the deceased turned his face'up to the light of the lamp under which beth were standing, and the other seemed to recognize him, for he re- coiled a pace, letting the drunken loan fall in a heap ou the pavement and gasping out 'Yoe?' he turned on nis heel, and walked rapidly away down Russell street in the direction of Burke street., ry wasstaring after kin, "Royston t o , and wondering at his stranger con- duct, .'when at was recalled to himself by the voice of the deceased who had struggled to his feet, and was holding on to the lamp post, sway;ng to and fro. 'I•wan' g'ome,' he sail in a thick voice, 'St. Kilda.' He then tried to get into the cab, but was too drunk to do so, and finally sit down on the pavement. Seeing this Royston got down, and lifting him up, lifted him into the cab with some considerable difficulty The deceased fell bask into the cab and seemed to drop off to sleep; so after" closing the door, Royston turned to remot the, driving seat, when he found .to gentlenian in the light coat whom ho Lad seen Belying up the deceased, close to ilii' elbow. Royston said, 'Oh, you. have come back,' and the other answered, 'Yes, I've changed my mind, and I Will see him home. ' As he said this he opened the door of the cab, stepped in beside the deceased, and told Royston to chive to St. Kilda. Royston, who was glad that the friend of the de- • cearred had come to look after bim drove as be had been directed, near the Church of England Grammar school, on the St. Kilda road, the gentleman in the light coat 'called out to him to stop. He did so and the gentleman got out of the cab, closing the door after him. " He won't let me take him home," he said, 'so I'll just walk back to the city, and you can diiye him to St. Kilda.' " "What street, sir?" asked Roy- ston. "Grey street, 1 fancy, but my friend will direct yon when you get to the junction." "Ain't ho too much on, sit'?" said Royston, dubiously. "Ob, no; I think he'll be able to toll you where lie lives. It's Grey street or Ackland street, I fancy. I don't know which." "Hdthen opened the door of the cab and looked in. 'Good night, old man," he said. Tho other ap- parently did not answer, for the . gentleman in the light coat shrugged his shoulders and muttering 'sulky brute,' closed the door again. He then gave Royston half a sovereign, lit a cigarette, and after making a few remarks ttpoti'the beauty of the night walked off quickly in the di- rection of Melbourne. Royston drove down to the• Junction, and having stopped there, according to his instructions, he asked his fare several times where he was to drive to. Receiving .no answer, and thinking that the deceased was too drunk to antiwar, he got down from his seat, opened the door of the cab, and found the deceased Ly - ng back in the corner with a band - • t•, X It !f • svoning1' . tlig ttf ;fit gvs1`` iit. , , coul4 ue!ot ibis- f'aoe iret'y.;p1ai 1}l'ir i; I e •Wo . haft• orbit hat,. which' wsut pulled. duwu' tied across bis mouth, wks of white "silk, and •marked in one of the corners with the letters O. W.. in red silk. The assassin, of course, may have used his own handker- chief to commit the crime, so that if the initials are those of his own name they may ultimately lead to his detection. There will be an in- quest held on the body of the de- ceased this morning,- when, no doubt, some evidence may be elicit- ed which may solve the mystery.„ ss In Monday morning's issue of The Argus the following article ap- peared in reference to the matter: "The following additional evi- dence has been obtained which may throw some light on the myster- ious murder in a hansom cab, of which we gave a full description in Saturday's issue: 'Another han- som cabman called at the police office and gave a clew which will no doubt, prove of value to the de- tlectives in their . search after the murderer. He states that he was driving up the St. Kilda on Friday morning about half -past one o'clock when he was hailed by a gentleman in a light coat,' who stepped into the cab and,ordored him to drive to' Powlett street, in East Melbourne. He did so, and, after paying him, the gentleman got out at the cor- ner of Wellington parade and Pow - lett street and walked • slowly up Powlett street, while the cab drove back to`town. Here all clue ends but there can be no doubt in the minds of our readers as'to the iden- tity of the man in the light coat who got out of Royston's cab on the St. Kilda roa ' di with the one who entered the other cab and alighted therefrom at Powlett street. There could have been no straggle, as the Cabman Royston would sure- ly have heard the noise had any taken place. The supposition is, therefore, that the deceased was too drunk to make any resistance, end the other, watching his opportunity placed the handkerchief saturated with chloroform over the mouth of his victim, and after a few ineffec- tual struggles the latter would re- lapse into a state of etupor from such -inhalation. The man in the light coat, judging flow his conduct before getting into the cab appears to.have known the deceesed,though from the circumstances of bis walk- ing away on recogniti6n, and re- turting again, shows that bis atti- tude toward the deceased was not altogether a friendly one. "Here is a great chance for some of our detectives to render them- selves famous, and we feel sure that they will do their utmost to trace the author of this cowardly and daring murder." over h.a, eyes. bi*kioti 0.4% wile 't he wore----tl wide,awakel A.

Did you see him coming back? A. No ; the first I saw of him was at my elbow when I turned. Q. And when did he get out ? A. Just as I was turning down by the gramtnar school, on the St. Kilda toad. Q. Did you hear any sounds of fighting or struggling in the cab dur- ing the drive? A. No ; the road was rather rough, and the noise of the wheels going over the stones would have prevent- ed me hearing anything. Q. When the gentleman in the light coat got out did he appear dis- turbed? A. No; he was perfectly calm. Q. How could you tell that? A. Because the moon has risen and I could see plainly. Q.

IIs said that the deceased would not let him take him home and he wo'.tlil walk beck to Mel- bourne. r o- Q. And you asked hitt where you were to drive the deceased to? A. Yes ; and he said that the de- ceased lived either in Grey street or Ackland street, St. Kilda, but that the deceased would direct the at the Junction. Q. Did you think the deceased was too drunk to direct you? CHAPTER 1I. THE EVIDENCE AT TIIE 1.NQVEST. At the inquest held on the body found in the hansom cab the follow- ing articles taken from the deceased were placed on the table: 1. Two pounds tea shillings in gold and silver. . Tho white silk handkerchief which was saturated with chloro- form, and was tied across the mouth of the deceased, niarkel with the letters O.W. in red silk. 3. A. cigarette case of 'Russian leather, half filled with cigarettes. 4. A left hand white glove of kid rather soiled -with black seams down the back. Samuel Gorby, of the detective office, was present in order to see if anything alight be said by the witnesses likely to point to the cause or to the author of the crime. The first witness called was Mal- colm Roystone, in whose cab the crime bad been committed. He told the same story as had already ap- peared in the Argus, and the fol- lowing facts wero elicited by the coroner: Q. Can you give a description of the genl;lenian in thelight coat who was bolding the deceased when you drove up? A. I did not observe bim very closely as my attention was taken up by the deceased; and, besides;the gentleman in the light coat was in the shadow. Q. Describe •him from what you saw of him. A. IIe was fair, I think, because 1: could see bis moustache, rather • w.w,..iattlY`s i:C 3°,.14'�YArn.a,.:1411 There was no brain disease. The lungs were healthy, but slightly con- gested' On opening the thorax there was a faint spirituous odor discernible. The stomach contain- ed about a pint of completely di- gested food. The heart was flaccid. The right heart contained a consid- erable quantity of dark, fluid blood. There was a tendency to fatty de- generation of that organ. I am of the opinion that deceaoed dined from tho inhalation •of some such vapsr as chloroform or methylene. Q. You say there was a tendency to a fatty degeneratldn of the heart. 1Vould that have anything to do with the death of deceased? A. Not of itself. Bnt chloro- form administered while the heart was in such a state would have a decided tendency to accelerate the fatal result. At the same time I may mention that tho post mortem signs of poisoning by chloroform are mostly negative. Dr Chinston. was then permitted to retire, and Clement Rankin, an- other cabman' was called. He de- posed: I am a cabman living in Coiling- wood, oilintiwood, and usually drive a hansom'' cab. I remember Thursday last. I had driven a party down to St. Kilda, and was returning about half -past 1 o'clock. A short dis- tance past the Grammar school I was hailed by a gentleman in a light coat; ho was smoking a cigar- ette, and told me to drive to Pow - lett street, East Melbourne. I did so, and he got out at the corner of Wellington parade and Powlett street. He paid the half a sover- eign for my fare, and then walked up Powlett street, while I drove bock to town. 1'. What tine was• it you stop pep at Powlett street? A. Two o'clock exactly. Q. flow do you know? A. Because it was a still night, and I board the post office clock two. Q. Did you notice .anything pe- culiar about the than iii the light coat? A No; he looked the same as any one else. 1 thought ho was some swell of the town , out for a lark. His hat was pulled down ever his eyes and I -could not see bis face. -est .,_ Q. I)id you. noticie if he wore a "Old King Cole ring? Was a merry old soul, - A merry old soul was Ire." Dot his royal majesty would never have been so merry had ho suffered from constipation, or deradged liver, or dyspepsia, or piles, or any other complaint that comes fron a system out of sorts and causes impurities of the blood.

To be well take Dr Pierce's world -famed Pleasant Purgative Pei. lets.

Q. The gentleman in the light coat apparently did not know where the deceased•lived? A. No; he said it was either in Ackland or Grey street. Q. Did you not think that curious? A. N'o I thought he might be a club friend of the deceased. Q. How. long did the man in the light coat talk to" you? A. About five minutes. Q. And during that time you heard no noise in the cab? A. No; I thought the deceased had gone to sleep. Q. And after the man in the light coat said good -night to the de- ceased what happened? A. He lit a cigarette, gave me a half sovereign, and walked off to- wards Melbourne. ' Q. Did you observe if the gentle- man in the'light coat bad his hand- kerchief with him? A. Oh yes; bectuse h3 dustcd his boots with it. The road was very dusty. Q. DidY ou notice any sttiking peculiarity about bim? A. Well, no; except that Iio wore a diamond ring. Q. Was there any peculiar ity about that ? A. He wore it on the £crelingor of the right hand, and I never saw it that way before. Q. When did you notice this? A. When be was lighting bis cigarette. Q. How often did you call the deceased when you got to the Junc- tion? unotion? A, Three or four times. -1 then got down and found him quite dead.. . a• HIow was he lying?. A. Ho was doubled tt1 in the far corner of the cab, very much in the same position as I left him when I put bim in. His head was hanging on one side, and there' was a lrandkerchie across hie Mouth, When I touchy l bim he fell into Children pry for Pt 611 Ili.. ,., ....1.,... and no mistake." ' Mr Gorby was shaving, and as, was bis usual custom conversed with his reflection. "Hang it," he said, thoughtfully stropping his razor, "a thing with an end must have a start, and if I dont get a start bow am I to get an end?" As the 'mirror did not answer this question Mr Got -by lathered his face, and started shaving in a somewhat mecbaniaal fashion, for his thoughts were with the case,and ran on in this manner: There are three things to be lis• covered -First, who is the dead man? Second, what was ho killed for? And third, who did it? C)nce I get hold of the first the other two won't be very hard to find out, for one can tell pretty well from a man's life whether it's to any one's intero est that be should be got off the books. The man that murdered that chap must have had some strong,motive, and 1 must find out what 'that motive was. Love? No, it was not that -men in love don't go to such lengths in' real life -- they do in novels and plays,but I've never seen it in my experience. Robbery? No there was plenty of money in his pocket. Revenge? Now, really it might be that; it is a kind of thing that carries on most people further than they want to go. ' There was no violence used for his clothes weren't torn; so he must have been taken sudden and before he knew what the other ohap was up to. By the way, I don't think I examined his clothes suflj• ciently. There might be Something about them to give a clew; at any rate it's worth looking after, so I'll start with his clothes." So lir Gorby, after he had finish- ed dressing and had his breakfast walked quickly to the police sta- tion, where he asked for the clothes w of the deceased to he shown bun. When lie received' them lrb went into a corner by himself and started to examine them. There was nothing remarkaLle about the coat, as it was merelya well cut and well made dress coat, so with a grunt of dissatisfaction Mr Gorby threw it on one side and picked up the waistcoat.

No; he did not. Cletnent Rankin was then order- ed to stand down,- and the coroner then summed up an address of half an- hout's duration. There was, he poieted out, no doubt that the death of tlio deceased bad resulted not from natural causes,, but from the effects of poisoning. - Only slight evidence had been obtained up to the present time regarding the circumstances of the case, but the only person who could be accused of committing the crime was the unknown man who entered the cab with the deceased. It had been proved that deceased, when he. en- tered the cab, was, to all appear- ances, in good health, though in a state of intoxication, and the fact that ho was found by the cabman Royston, after the man in the light coat had loft the cab, with a hand- kerchief saturated with chloroform tied over his mouth, would seem to show that he had died through the inhalation of chloroform, which had been deliberately administered. All the obtainable evidence in the case was circumstantial, but neverthe- less showed conclusively that a clime had been committed. There- fore as the circumstances of the ease pointed to one conclusion, the jury could not do otherwise than frame a verdict in accordance with that conclusion. The jury retired at 4 o'clock, and after an absence of a quarter of an hour, returned with tho following verdict: " That the deceased, whose name there *As no evidence to show, died on the 27th of Jsly,from the effects of poison, namely chloro- form, feloniously administered by soma person unknown; and the jury on their oaths, say that the said unknown person feloniously, will- fully and maliciously did murder the said deceased."
