LANCASHIRE
LENT ASSIZES- YESTERDAY. Crown Court.
THE MURDER AT
HEYWOOD.
James Tetlow,
a decent looking person, having the appearance of a farm labourer, and
described in the calendar as being the age of 49 years, was placed on his
trial, charged with the murder of Thomas Duckworth. Mr Sergeant Wilkins
and Mr. Monk, instructed by Mr. Thomas Grundy, conducted the prosecution,
and Mr. James appeared for the prisoner. The case occupied a very
considerable portion of the day, so that we are obliged to give in a
contracted form the evidence which was adduced.
It would
appear that the deceased, a person somewhat older than the prisoner,
worked with him as a farm labourer and out-door servant in the employ of
Richard Kay, Esq. of Harewood Hall, near Heywood, for some considerable
time previous to the 28th of October last, on which day the prisoner had,
as it would appear, been discharged, but only, as it was stated, in
consequence of no work being required. About five o'clock in the evening
of December 28th, which was a Saturday, Duckworth was in the Dog and
Partridge publichouse. He was somewhat in liquor, and had some quarrel
with a man named Wolstenholme. The quarrel was, however, over before the
prisoner came in with a man named Garnet. Deceased paid for a quart of
ale, of which he asked the prisoner and Garnet to partake. Duckworth went
out, saying he would go home, and the prisoner also went out. The latter
returned to the seat he had occupied before, and said, "I have given
yon sommat, and he won't go whome tonight". In five minutes after
this speech, the people who had been sitting in the house heard that
Duckworth had been nearly killed, and, shortly after, the body of the
deceased was brought to the house. He was attented by Mr. Leach, surgeon,
at once, and he was found to have received several blows at the back of
the head, one of which fractured the skull, and ultimately caused his
death at about twenty minutes before eight o'clock the next morning, the
unfortunate man having only survived the attack about twelve hours. The
fatal blow was unseen. It had been struck in the dark and from behind. The
surgeon described a longitudinal wound at the back of the head, and four
lateral blows across that, any of which would have stunned him, and which
were the cause of death. The body was found lying on its face, the hands
being in the front pockets of the coat (a 'Cheadle swinger") which
the deceased wore. A cart-prop, which had been taken from a cart standing
in the front of the Dog and Partridge, was found broken a yard off the
body. This appeared to have been the instrument of death. The evidence to
connect the prisoner with the deed was principally composed of statements
and conversations made by him at different times. The first of these was
related by Mr. Lees, a surveyor of the highways, who deposed to a
statement alleged by him to have been made some six or seven weeks before
the death of deceased. The prisoner had come to the witness's house, and
said that "he (meaning the deceased) has been taking very undue steps
about my labour." Witness said, "You have to deal with him, and
as a workman you do the best you can." On this the prisoner said,
"I'll lay in wait for him some dark night, and I'll knock his brains
out with a stake." On examination, Mr. Lees said that he told Mr. Kay
at the time; but though he and his daughter were both at the inquest at
Heywood day after day, he never tendered any evidence of this statement,
though he knew Tetlow was then implicated. The first time he communicated
it to the attorney for the prosecution was about a fortnight ago, but he
never told him the last statement until about five minutes before he went
into the grand jury room at the present assizes. The conversation occurred
on, he believed, the first Thursday in September. John Stott was the
person who spoke to the conversation about "giving yon summut."
On examination, he admitted that the new landlord of the Dog and Partridge
was giving a house-warming on taking the house, and that he himself was
greatly in liquor at the time. He had not mentioned the conversation to
the police, though he saw them take Wolstenholme into custody, and though
he saw them examing next day that part of Mr. Kay's grounds where the body
was found. It was not until the prisoner was taken into custody that he
mentioned it at all. He could not tell any other conversation that had
passed during the evening, and he could not speak distinctly to either the
prisoner or deceased going out. He only missed them from their respective
seats, and had not seen them either go out or return. The speech of the
prisoner was addressed to no one in particular. The deceased had
quarrelled with a blacksmith at the Dog and Partridge, and struck him
before the quarrel with Wolstenholme. The blacksmith had gone out before
either Duckworth or the prisoner. He was, however, corroborated to some
extent by the subsequent witness, a person named Fenton, the son of the
new landlord, who acted as waiter on the occasion. The latter saw the
prisoner and the deceased go out, and the former return alone. This
witness came into the kitchen where he and Stott and the rest of them were
drinking, and told them about Duckworth being nearly killed, on hearing
which the prisoner turned very red. He admitted he was very busy all the
evening, and was in a hurry to get a candle to meet the wheelbarrow which
was coming up to the door with the body at the moment. That he went only
to the door of the kitchen, and did not observe how any body else looked,
or how they sat in the kitchen, but the prisoner sat just opposite the
kitchen door, so that the witness could see him at once. This witness's
brother, who also assisted in waiting that night, deposed to seeing
Duckworth depart from the house, followed by the prisoner, and that about
twenty-five minutes after the body of deceased was brought to the house. A
collier named Stanley, one of the persons in the kitchen, stated that when
the body was brought to the house and taken up stairs, he heard
Wolstenholme say to the prisoner, "Thee have not gev' him half
enough." The prisoner replied, "Yes; they have gev' him quite
enough." There was a tall man standing by them who then said,
"Hush, hush, or you will tell," whereat the witness said they
were telling them. Witness then went upstairs to look at Duckworth, and
came down, saying that he thought he would not live. Tetlow appeared to be
full of sorrow when he heard it. The most important, however, of these
conversations was that of William Bury. He deposed that he came from
Dublin. He was convicted at the last August sessions of the borough of
Manchester, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment at the New Bailey.
Witness was appointed a nurse at the Infirmary. Prisoner was brought in
two days before Christmas Day. When he came in, he said to witness,
"I suppose they will hang me?"' and afterwards said he had been
taken, with two more, for committing murder at Heywood. Witness asked,
"How was the man killed?" Prisoner replied, "By a cart
leg." On Christmas morning , the rest of the prisoners were left
alone. Prisoner said he felt uneasy in his mind. Witness asked why? He
said, because he always used to have his children in his arms on that
morning. "I hope this case," he continued, "may come to
nothing, for there's no evidence against me, and they can't hang on
circumstantial evidence. The man that was taken with me knows nothing
about it, for if he had known, he would have told, for he kept constantly
telling me to tell while we were in the lockups if I knew anything about
it." He said, "What a damed fool I must be to tell, because
there is an individual among the witnesses against me who has more than
once given me five shillings to make the deceased drunk and then to kill
him." He mentioned the name of the individual, and he said it was
Stott. Witness said, "Did you ever make him drunk." Prisoner
replied, "Yes, he said. Once deceased was in a field so drunk that he
could not button his breeches." Witness asked him when he was drunk,
why didn't he kill him? He replied, because he was afraid the old man (Stott)
would tell of him, and it looked as if he would, for he was one of the
witnesses against him. Witness had not heard anything about anybody called
Stott before, and did not know where the place was or anything about it.
Witness asked how far the public-house was from the place where the deed
was done. He said it was about a hundred yards. Witness asked him where
the cart leg was taken from? He said it was wrenched off. Witness said
that was a hard job. He replied, "Not so hard." Witness asked
him if he followed him. He said, yes. Witness asked him what excuse he
could make when he was asked about going out after him. He said, he would
say he had gone out to make water. He would say, he stopped about five or
six minutes. Prisoner asked, what if he should have to tell his counsel if
he had done the deed, when he came to be tried. Witness said, he supposed
the counsel or attorney would take him into a private place, with nabody
by. Prisoner then said, "I would not like to tell, there was no one
know'd anything about it but one." Witness then said, "Well,
Tetlow, now if they were to hang you, would they hang you
innocently?" He said, "No, but I would not tell my wife, or the
dearest relation ever I have." Witness then said, "You've all as
ane told me." "Yes," he said, "But you are not a
witness." Witness replied, "No, and I hope never shall be."
The witness then said, "Before he told me this, he said something
about his shoe corresponding with the marks in the soil, and he said if he
had "held his whisht," he would have put it in the fire. Witness
had never heard of this affair before. He had given the whole of his
statement before he left gaol, and he served his full time. The chaplain
was the first person he had told of the affair.
This witness
was subjected to a very close and searching cross-examination by Mr.
James, as to his previous habits and conduct. He came from Clonmel, and
had been about two and a half years in England. He was sentenced to six
months imprisonment for his first offence, it was snatching a purse from a
lady's hand in Deansgate. He had a wife who was living in Manchester at
the present time. He (witness) was nothing with his wife. He lived with
his landlady in a house in Back Irwell street. He had never committed any
offence previous to that of which he had been convicted.
This was the
case for the prosecution.
Mr. James then
proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner. He made a very powerful
and able appeal on his behalf, of which, however, we cannot at this late
hour, give even an outline. The learned judge them summed up with very
great care and caution, and the jury were locked up when our dispatch
left.
