A neighbour, who had many opportui. ties of seeing the pair, described them na a model couple. They were handsome pair, and always smartly dress- ed. He was a tall, big man, and she was tall and fair, with a freckled corn- plexion. They were most devoteri couple she was something to be proud of, and so was be. Both of them were passionately fond of the garden, and on Sundays when the weather, permitted, often had tea parties of their friends in it. The friends were invariably married people with children, and the- little parties were very pleasant, Mr. and Mrs, Thompson making an ideal bost and hos- tess. They had no children. but were very fond of the little ones who came to visit them. I have never seep a married couple so devoted to each other as the Thompsons."

SUDDEN DEVELOPMENT:

རྗ་

There was an astounding development. on the evening of October 5th in the Ilford murder mystery, when the Police charged with wilful murder, the two people who had been detained. They are: Edith Thompson, 27, of 41, Kensington- gardens, the wife of the Burdered City clerk; and Frederick Bywaters, 20, of Westow street, Upper Norwood, ship's

steward.

On October 6th Mrs. Thompson and Frederick Bywaters were charged with the murder of the woman's husband, Percy Thompson, a clerk. The police produced a statement by the woman that there was Do quarrel, and that she saw nobody about at the time. Other statements by the woman and Bywaters were not read. Accused were remanded.

It later transpired that Bywaters was in the habit of staying as a paying guest with a Mr. and Mrs. Thompson at Ilford, until he quarrelled with the husband re garding his treatment of the wife Bywaters was alleged to have stated to the police that he waited for the Thompson's return from the theatre one night and told i Thompson he must separate from his wife. The statement proceeded: We fought, I took the knife from my pocket and he got the worst of it." It was further alleged that Byatera told the police that he loved Edith Thompson, but he never meant to kill Thompson.

At Stratford Police Court on October 11th the Prosecutor read statements which they had made separately to the police. disavowing knowledge of the crime," though on first, seeing Bywaters in cus tody Mrs. Thompson had exclaimed. according to the police: "God, why did be do it!" I must tell the police." Both prisoners were remanded....

son objected to the reading of letters from MRS. HAN INOKUCHI Thompson tu Bywaters, on the ground that they were not evidence against his client. He said that the charge against Mr. Thompson was wilful murder, and until a prima facie case was established against her the letters should not be pro- duced.

Replying to the Coroner, a Police Ins pector said that he had nothing beyond the letter to show that there was any animosity on the part of Mrs. Thompson against her husband.

The Coroner then said that it was only right to give the accused the benefit of the doubt and therefore he did not admit the letters, but the matter would be thrashed out at the Old Bailey..

A London message of October 24th says: Another dramatic turn came in the Ilford murder case to-day when Bywaters and Mrs. Thompson appeared in the Str ford Police Court, charged with murder. The objection raised on behalf of the wife that the letters, which were alleged to have passed between her and Bywaters, should not be read, was overruled by the Chairman who considered that a prime facie case had been established against the wife. Some letters and photographs of Mrs. Thompson were said to bavo been found in Bywaters "ditty box" on board electric light.
