IJLtKLANl ) . J Murbuu op Mr . Lmxu . —Spollon lina boon again « Hnod on tho ehflrgo of murdering Mr . Little . Ono no witnesses ngnlnst him was hid duughtor , who ia ut ton yewa old . On her ontranoo , Swollen said ; —
"I do not think that child is mine , and I do not think she knows anything about the sacrament . " The child was accordingly questioned as to her knowledge of the nature of an oath ; and her answers being satisfactory , the examination was allowed to proceed . She said her name was Lucy Spollen , and that she was the daughter of the prisoner . On the evening of Mr . Little being murdered , she recollects her father coming home between seven and eight o ' clock . He held in his hand some pot or other article of a round , shape , but of what material she could not say , as it was dark at the time . Her father took a ladder and put it up to the roof . Her mother was at the door during this tima . She ( the -witness ) then proceeded : — " 1 had a sun bonnet which I never
wore . It went about the house as a duster . I last saw it ia the house , I think , the day before Mr . Little ' s murder . " ( The piece of calico found with the money was here produced , and was identified by the girl as the bonnet which had been referred to by her . ) " I never saw that bonnet after the murder . Since the murder , my father told « ne that if any person showed me a piece of chamois leather , or rag , . to say 'I never saw it before . '" On cross-examination the child denied that she had ever been told what to say when questioned on her oath . She also denied that her mother had held any conversation with her since she was privately examined on the previous Thursday , further than to ask , " Have you been sworn V Her mother , she said , had enjoined
her to tell the truth , and that was all . On being pressed further , the child admitted that she had informed her mother of the fact of the p iece of calico having been shown her . This piece of calico she recognised by the colour and the shape . A couple of nights after the murder , ' she asked her mother what it was her father had 'been doing on the roof , but she refused to tell her . "I do not remember , " continued the g irl , " anybody being present when my father desired me to deny my knowledge of the calico . Xo person has ever spoken to me about this business , except what my mother said to me , to tell the truth . " Daniel Ryan , an inspector of the detective police , related some circumstances which happened at the station on the evening , of the clay when
Spollen was arrested . Between nine and ten o clock at night , the inspector went to Frederick-lane station , where he found Mrs- Spollen , who , on her husband being brought into the room said . " Oh , you wicked man , you have destroyed your family ; what I have done I did for the good of your soul . " Spollen replied to this , "Oh , you foolish woman ! " and then attempted to approach her , but she instantly exclaimed , " Keep him back ! keep him back ! " Spollen , having been informed by Mr . Guy of the charge against him , said , ' -1 deny it intoto . " The charge was then formally made , and the -woman said , " Search him well ; leave nothing with him . Give him a fair trial for his life , for I know-his words when he was on his sick-bed . He is determined not to confess it . "
" Confess what , woman ? " asked Spollen . His wife answered , " You know you murdered him ; you told me all about it at a quarter past nine o ' clock on the Friday morning after you s « id to me that ' he would tell no tales . '" To this her husband made no reply , but partly hung his head . Mr . Curran ( Spollen ' s counsel ) put some questions to this witness , and aseortnined ^ lhnt the wife was "in a great rage against her husband , so far as roaring and bawling . " " She appeared to be very spiteful , " but the inspector would not swear that she really was so . " She appeared to feel very , very much about the matter , and she pulled and tore at her hair , and gave other manifestations- of a similar spirit . Shy shouted
very much . " After tho examination of this witness , the proceedings were adjourned to Wednesday . —The piece of chamois leather to which tho child referred is bcliovod to have formed a case in which Spollen put hi * razors . When ho wout on the roof , it is believed ho ditl so to hide some of the money . —The key of the cush-oilico , taken awny on the night of Mr . Little ' s murder , has been found by a workhouse boy in a heap of mud . It would scorn , according to statomonts now made , that , about two months ago , Spollen endeavoured to poiso ; i his wife . A wild story is told by tho Freeman ' s Journal , which says that Spollon ' a son lias stated
that , on tlio night of tho murder , ho and his father and mother wont out to buy black-puddings , which were cooked for supper . " His father , on observing that his mother was not eating , asked her why she dlil not do so . Sho replied that she could not , as tho puddings reminded ltor of a euso which occurred in England of a man who had committed murder , and who ciimo homo with sweotinuats in his hands , which were all covered with blood ; he o / fored his wife some of the sweetmeats , which aho took , and a part of thorn stuck in her throat when she attempted to swallow them . "—Spollon waa on Wednesday again remandod . Tho noxt oxiunination will tuko place on Thursday , tho Oth .
