Constance Kent, the English mur
flereas, convicted twenty five years
ago of the Roadq murder, has rex
ceived a ticket*of*Jeave. The woman
mentioned was at the time of the
commission of the crime a young
girl of fifteen, or thereaboutB, and
the victim wa8 her three year old
half-biother, Arthur Kent. The
event acquired unusual prominence
owing to the relationship all the
parties immediately concerned bore
to the Queen,
Wm. Kent, the father of Con
stance and of the murdered child,
was a gentleman of private, fortune,
Hying at a place called Roade. Ha-
was said to be, and the statement
waB never contradicted, an. illegiti
mate Bon of the D ike of Kent,
fourth sop of George III., aud father
of Queen Victoria,, and Jus private
fortune was supposed to have come
. fronJ this royal source, .Mr.- Kent
was a gentleman of quiet and culti*
yated fastes, enjoying a life of let
tered ease. His first wife, mother
.of Constapce, having died when she
ftest Of’hiswcIrifdreny-Avas-uhou-c
ten or eleven years of age, he em
ployed a lady of education as gover
ness and supwrintendent of his fam
ily. This lady he married, and by
her had a son, young Arthur. All
seemed happy in the Kent family,
though the eldest daughter, Con*
stance, was occasionally suoject to
fits of • moodiness,' for which she
assigned no reason. 1 .
THk'.DiaOOVERY,
*.Early one ..Bunday morning-in
summer'the.nurse girl, whose name
is not recalled,1’alarmed the sleeping.,
household will) htir outcries, olm
had awakened to find her young
charge, littl^Arthur, who slept in ft
cot by her bedside, lying dead, his
throat cut. from ear to ear.T* The,
horror**stricken"parents at once sent
for assistance. The- police and the
coroner were promptly on tlmspot,^
and the investigation cominence-l.
It wa3 then noticed that though
there were traces Of. blood on the
blanket on- which -the child lay-,
there was "no saturation such as
would have, been the case had the
murder: been committed;, while he
lay-sleeping. Further examination'
revealed the fact thatjbe child had
been taken to. a W.iter-closet in the.
house, and that ' there the.butchery
had been performed. A carving-
knife, sharpened almost to a razor
-«4gOy-ww;-alseTowi'id---'witrliTFaceH-of=-
blood upon it, . . ■' • /
Of course, all these circunw.tances
■tended to. fasten suspicion bn the
unfortunate-nurse girl, for who else
could have carried the child to the
"'Scene of the murder without causing
lihm to, make some outcry ? At the.
timeNqT i,'be aJartii being given jt was

■It ojs trueThat no.motive.could.be
shown for Hie deed; that she was of
a most amiable disposition and a
great favorite with all t he ch illite ii,_
but there were the facts'. The con
clusipn was irresistible, and the poor
girl1 was arrested and 'thrown into
prison to await her Mial. She-was
finally convicted. But the public
Were not satisfied, apd the home
secretary was persuaded, to. grant h
respite pending further investiga
tion. -
The case seemed hopeless; how*
ever, untjl one morning Constance
Kent, accompanied by one of tlie
sisters of a convent school, called on.
the rector of-.the ch.Urch, and the
two asked a private audience. .Con
stance '* • ■ 1 ' _____
HAD COME TO CONFESS. ■
■She had evidently already told her
story to the sister^. She then calmly
and lucidly, ftlTHm-clergyman a t-r-
ward'said, told the whole.story of
the crime. She had deeply resented
her father’s second marriage, though
she had given no..,outward sign of.
her resentment Her anger was
still -more heigllteiied. when her
yoixng bttlfbTOHieY wagvborn.“ She
had studiously conceded this feel*
ing. , But her'jealous hate grew in
iiitenstty,kag«Jjetj’rew from infancy
into lail^Wbinrdfood. Gradually
hate matured into design, aud she
di-termiued to destroy the little fel*
Jow. Providing herself with the
shaVpened knife, sjijprtly after dawn
she had clipped into .the nursery
. bedrooim. Stooping - Over -the cogj
she awoke the chi,Id with a kiss, amj,,
wrapping the child in hj}i.bl«liketr
carried him with hef to the closet.
Here the knife waa used in such a
way that the flowing blood went
down the pipe. When life was ex*
tinet and, tlie blood had geaaed^ to
flow, she gently returned to tlm
nursery, replaced ‘tfifTluTle^corpse1
in its cot, wiped a nd"1*, restored the
knife to its pbme in ihe kitcheih And
then went .tombed and to Bleep. Uiie*
Can imagine the •
HORROR AND EXCITEMENT A -
this awful confession created. Thou
sands refused to helieye if, Baying
the girl was demented, and pointing
to the (supposed hereditary taint of
insanity which had comn from her
grAndfather, G>orge lit., as an
argument. She was, however, triad,
and not only maintniited the truth
of her confession, but pointed out
corroborating circumstances which
had escaped the notice Of the police.
Of course she'"Was convictod, And the
other poor girl pardoned for the.
her, 8o..did tC certain feeiing that,
while confession, wan clearly proven
not to have resulted from inherited
insanity, the deed itself might have
done. Iler sentence was commuted
to. penal servitude for life, and good
behaviour brought the ticket of-Jeave
mentioned. A niece in blood, though
notr by marriage, of the Queen, fhe
Ims spent all the best years of her
life in a convict prison, Put such
a story in a novol, and what critic
would not scout it as too absurd for
anything ?
