Having heard the evidence, the mag- isarate committed him to take his trial for wilful murder at the forthcoming assizes to be held at Sandwich. There was probably but one person living at that time . who believed in Jeremy York’s innocence, and this was his sweetheart, Jenny Bax.

She and other witnesses also testified to Mr. Work- sop having been in possession of some thirty or forty guineas, which in his cups he had a trick of lugging out by the handful, that the company might. know a jolly sailor need never be a pauper. The two boatmen that had rowed Jeremy York ashore gave evn- worth half a guinea, that there was a quarrel over the fare, and that they: had to be mtisfied with four shillings; York’s statement, on the other hand, was as follows: He said that on the night in question he fell asleep, after having lain with the boatswain for about an hour. He was then awaken-. ed by the oppression of the atmos- phere, which made him fear that he would suffocate; and being parched with thirst, he resolved to seek for the inn‘s back-yard, where he might hope to find a pump. where he would be sure of the relief of fresh air. As he could n0t lift the latch of the door he searched Mr. Worksop’s c10thes, not choosing to disturb the man, who _had shown himself querulous and grumbling, as though in pain, and found a knife, with which he sucâ€". ceeded in opening the door. It was aI little past two o’clock when he re--|l turned to his bedroom; a faint light . penetrated the window from the oil J lamp outside, which enabled him to see that the bed was empty. He also took notice that Mr. Worksop’s wear- . ing. apparel, that had lain upon ai] chair, was gone. He was somewhatl‘E surprised. but concluded that Mr; Worksop had been awakened, as he E himself had, by the heat, had dressed ‘ and walked fort-h Lntd the night, and c that he would return presently. He t got into bed again, but lay sleepless, until, hearing some diStant clock'strike 't four, he rose, clothed himself, took hisl bundle, and left the house carryingi: sLon were conclusive enough; yet it was almost inevitable that a corpse thrown into shallow water close in- shore should be set upon some part ’of the beach by the action of the tide, unless weighted by aheavy sinker, in which case there would be a chance for the grapnel. But day after day, a broad tract stretching from Deal Castle to Sandown Castle had been SWEPt Without result. Would com- pleter evidence be' fortheoming?

Beyond his solemn assur- ance of innocence, coupled with the lcarelessness, which certainly did not ‘look criminal, of his suffering the :knife and coin to remain in his pocket, fthe young man seemed incapable of stating a single point upon which the defence could rely or which it could make anything of. And it turned out as the sagacious lawyer had predicted; the evidence that had been previously tendered was gone over again, and far} more diligently examined; the blood- szained shirt, the knife, the coin, were produoed. The landlady of the Lonely Star along with her husband and six other witnesses were present to test- ify to the coin, to the knife, though the. name scored upon it \ abundantly indicated the ownership, to the money 19 Possession of the boatswain at the tune Of his disaonenmnm h.

The sheriff then gavel the signal; the driver who held the! horse's head started the animal, the cart rolled away, and left Jeremy York hanging. But. scarce had he swung to an erect posture ‘under the gibbet, when it was (\L“. \ __ â€" A little before eleven o'clock amur- . mur ran through the crowd like the cry of a wave breaking aslant along a mile of‘shore. The procession was in view! a horse and cart, in which were seated York the mvalefactor, the chap- lain of the jail exhorting him, and the hangman sitting behind, with his legs over the edge, fortifying his spirits with a sly dram from time to time from a flat bottle which he drew from his pocket, for this was a country! pageant, with nothing but rooks, and‘ here and there a farmyard labourer, as sightseers; no crowded progress. such as that from Newgate to Tyburn or Newcastle jail to the town moor. On one. side of the cart walked the sheriff, on the other three constables, one of whom was Budd, and a small detach- ment of helpers after the pattern of the one-eyed man. Jeremy York sa‘t ,cold and silent, gray as tobacco ash. habited in the clothes he wore when taken; he held his eyes bent down- wards; his lips were compressed into two bloodless lines; he gave no heed to the. chaplain, who mumbled} in his ear; he had only spoken once since he had entered the cart, and that was to say to the ordinary: “Sir. before God I ‘ am innocent." All the while he lay J waiting for the day of execution he - had said no more. ' noose would be when the end of it had been coiled about the neck to the sand beneath. Some time before the ar-L rival of the felon, a woman of. slight figure, in deep mourning, her face con- cealed by a veil, came to the steadfast group of men, conversed with them for a few minutes, then broke away sob- bing passionately, and was seen to walk hurriedly in the direction of Sandwich. It was whispered amongst the crowd that she was Jenny Bax, the murde-rer's sweetheart; and several fe-‘ males who recognised her as she ‘walked away, exclaimed that, for all ‘her mourning and veils. she could not but be an unfeeling person to come and view the gibbet where her sweet- heart was to be strangled. even if the had not made up her mind to witness the whole scene from behind one of those sandbills she was skirting in such a hurry. t tortune to _w_ “v his eldest hint}: he recently died ““vuv; 1899 represent the list}; respectively.
