THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, APRIL 4, 1870.
THE STOKY OF A QU 1KER MURDERER.
An Inrtdf nt of Iho Knrly ln of Tclcgrnphy
In l.iininiiii.
The various linen of tolegrnph ia England
hnvo lately piiNmirl into thahamlH of the Gov
ernment by purchase, and a curious collodion
of telegraph machines, now nnd old, has been
brought together at tho General Tost Ollice
In London.
One of those exhibited is said to be the
identical ono wh'.cb, just a quarter of a con
tury ago, assisted in uoBruull degree in bring
ing to the gallows tho perpetrator of a most
cold blooded and atrocious mardor one
Tawell, a Quaker.
This is a five-needle instrument, of Cook it
yVheatstoue'H, and from tho letters of the
alphabet, which are displayed upon its strange
looking diamond-shaped dial, tho letter "li"
has been omitted. This deficiency placed a
trifling orthographical difficulty in the way of
a clerk who had to telegraph instructions for
tho arrest of Tawell, a "Quaker," and occa
sioned great embarrassment to the person
who had to receive the message. "Kwa" was
slowly spoiled, but as he knew of no word in
the English language which commenced in
that fashion he imagined there must be some
fault in the working of tho telegraph, and
called upon his colleague at the other end of
the wire to "repeat." The same process was
renewed several times, and always with the
same result, always C-w-a, until a sharp boy
suggested that the sender should be allowed
to complete the word.
Ilia advice was followed, and after the re
ceipt of three more letters the word
"K-w-a-k-e-r" was formed, and at once, when
read phonetically, recognized as the equiva
lent for "Quaker."
The part played by the telegraph on
this occasion excited extraordinary interest
in England, inasmuch as it was almost tho
first time that it had been employed there in
the detection of a notable crime.
The circumstances of tho case were these:
About two miles from Slough, a station
twenty miles from London, on the Great
Western Kailway, and the same distance from
Windsor Castle, is a hamlet called Salthill,
which was famous in the days of Eton Mon
tern as a grand rendezvous. Eton Mon tern
was a curious old custom long prevalent at
Eton College, and observed triennially on
Whit-Tuesday. It was at last abolished in
consequence of the fan beooming rather too
fast and furious among tho scholars. The
last celebration took place in 1841, It con
sisted of a procession of the boys in a kind of
military order to tho Montom, a small mount
at Salthill, where they levied contributions or
"salt" from the passors-by and spectators.
The sum collected sometimes exceeded $."i0()();
the surplus, after deducting certain expenses,
becoming the property of the captain of tho
school.
The village of Salthill consists merely of a
few cottages, two or three mansions, and a
roomy old-fashioned inn, of a type and pat
tern now rapidly becoming rare. Formerly
no less than seventy coaches changed horses
there every day, and it was one of ttie busiest
places on the Bath road. Close beside it
stood a row ef humble tenements, probably
built for the accommodation of servants of
the inn. One of these was destined to
become the scene of a tragedy which was to
all England a nine days' wonder.
On the 1st of January, 184."., a man who
always wore the garb of a Quaker, and was in
the habit of frequenting the Jerusalem Coffee
Honse, a famous place of refreshment in the
city of London, told the waiter there that he
was going to dine at the west end of the
town, and left with him a greatcoat, which he
Baid he would call for on his return.
lie thon proceeded to the terminus of the
Great Western Kailway which was thon the
extreme west end and proceeded by the 4
o'clock train to Slough.
He went thenee to one of the cottages, be
fore described, at Salthill, occupied by a
woman known by the name of Sarah Hart.
The cottage consisted of two Very small rooms
on the ground floor. Shortly after his arrival
this woman went out by his directions and
procured a bottle of porter, with which she
returned to the cottage. Before long the
next-door neighbor heard a noise in Hart's
bouse, followed by a moan and what sounded
like stifled screams. Becoming alarmed she
took a light and went down the path from the
cottage to the high road, but before she
reached the gate she saw a man approaching
that which terminated a similar path from
Sarah Hart's cottage. He trembled and
appeared agitated, and bad much difficulty in
opening the gate. The woman inquired
"What is the matter with my neighbor ? I
am afraid that she is ill." The man made no
reply, but passed on his way to Slough.
The neighbor then entered Hart's house.
On a small table she found a bottle of porter
and two tumblers. One contained some
froth, the other porter, or porter and water.
The woman Hart lay dead upon the floor,
with her hair and clothes in wild disorder.
Meanwhile Tawell, after a somewhat circui
tous course, at last found himself again at
the Slough station, where he took his seat for
London.
Those familiar with tho level ground be
tween Slough and London know how smoothly
the broad-gauge carriages of the Great West
ern Itailroad glide over that twenty miles.
The murderer, as he sank into the seat of a
first-class carriage, no doubt felt that each
mile diminished the chance of detection. At
that time the electric telegraph was a novelty,
and very little used; Indeed, on the Groat
Western line Slough was then its terminus.
Consequently, Tawell was probably quite un
suspicious that, as he sped over the ground,
an exact description of him was on its way to
London. The suspicions of an intelligent
clergyman, who became cognizant of the hor
xible occurrence shortly after it happened,
were awakened; he immediately took action
in the matter, and the result of his opera
tions was a telegram to the metropolitan
police.
Long before the arrival of the train in Lon
don a policeman was on the platform, and as
Boon as Uawell got out of the carriage, tie
quickly identified him as the man described
by wire, and, drawing a plain coat over his
uniform, accompanied the omnibus which
Tawell entered to the Bank of England.
Tawell got out of the omnibus at the bank,
and went to the Jerusalem Coffee House.
where he called for the coat which he had left
in charge of the waiter. He then proceeded,
still followed by the policeman, to various
other places, and finally entered a lodging
house kept by a member of the Society of
' Friends. Outside this house the policeman
waited for an hour, and, finding that the
prisoner did not come out, went away. The
next morning further intelligonoo was re
ceived .from Slough, and the ollijer
returned to the house where he left the
man. On learning that Tawell had gone
out, the policeman proceeded to the Jerusa
lem Coffee House, where ho found him, and
said, "I believe you were down at Slough
yesterday." Tawell replied that he had not
Leen there, and knew no one in the place.
"You must be mistaken," said he, "in the
identity; my station in life places me above
suspicion." The officer, however, was of ft
different opinion, took him down to Salthill,
and placed him in the custody of the local
police.
The stomach of tho deceased woman was
chemically examined, and fifty graius of
prussic acid discovered. Subsequently the
shopman was found who, on the day of the
murder, bad sold him the prussic acid.
In the following March tho case came on
for trial before Mr. Baron l'arke, a judge of
the first eminence, afterwards Lord Wensley
dalo. Mr. Serjeant, now Judge, Byles was
counsel for the prosecution; Mr. Filzroy, now
Chief Baron, Kelly for the prisoner, the
latter being considered almost uurivalled as a
defender in such cases.
On the L'Sth of the some month Tawell was
executed.
The chaplain and governor of the jail sat
up with him the night before the execution.
He listened to the exhortation of the former,
and appeared to pray with devotion.
On being reminded of a promise to leave
some written statement behind, he sat down
and wrote an account, which proved to bo an
avowal of his guilt, and of a previous unsuc
cessful attempt.
The main motive for the crime seemed to
be the apprehension of his connection with
Halt becoming known to his wife, and
much of his anxiety, to tho last, to con
ceal his guilt arose from an undeviatiug
desire to retain the lady's faith in his in
tegrity. A circumstance which added consider
ably to the extraordinary interest felt in
the caso was the statement that Tawell
was a Quaker a Quaker murderer being
even a greater rarity than a Quaker baby,
which Sydney Smith doclared he had never
seen, and of which he professed to doubt
the existence.
Tawell had unquestionably been born and
bred a member of the Society of Friends, but
having been convicted of the possession of a
forged Bonk of England note, was sentenced
to transportation. Indeed, but for the dis
like entertained by members of his sect to
hanging a man, he would probably have gone
to the gallows twenty-five years before, that
being then tho penalty for forgery.
In Australia intelligence and good conduct
at length procured him emancipation. He
took a shop in Sydney, and became rich as a
chemist.
Eeturning, he settled in the'neighborhood
whence he had been expatriated, and the resi
dents, considering biB crime expiated, received
him well.
The Society of Friends, however, doclined
his advances.
His second wife was, however, a Quaker of
reputable family and character, and ha as
sumed tho garb of that sect and tried in
every way to identify himself with it.
Duringhis residence at Berkhampstead, a
small town about seven miles from Windsor,
he had built schools, founded savings banks,
and promoted many schemes of benevolence.
Probubly a worse heart was seldom concealed
beneath a sanctimonious garb and demure demeanor.
