An extraordinary murder trial, which took place recently in Edmonton, in the Canadian NorthWYest. is accompanied by no lr*ss eitraor-Jicary circumstances in the little Susses village of Hundham, near Chichester, England. i A few weeks ago Harry Hiyward. of Mnndham. whose brother Edward has been for several years in Canada, latterly guiding hinting parties one from Edmonton, came down to breakfast very disturbed. "I have had a "bad dream."' he told his sister. "I dreamt that I saw our Tsd shot." Two days afterwards Harry Hayward . received a communication from the Canadian police, telling him that his brother li;!!l been murdered, and requesting his presence tnrr purposes of Idfntlficatlon at rhe trial of an American, To m King by name, whn left Edmonton some time ago in Edward's company, and returned without biro, uncier circumstances so suspicious that be was arrested and charged. The body .>£ Edward was found by the Xorth-TVest Mounted Police, uud it was very much charred, as though an attempt had been made to dispose of it by 'cumin^. Harry liayward has gone out to Edmonton with a vivid picture in vis miud of the man whom he saw in h:s midnight vision. Meanwhile a sister of the deceased in Susses has received a letter from Inspecj tor Strickland, at Fort Saskatchewan, to ■ say that "the case promises to be one of ■ the most exhaustive as well as the most interesting in the records of the criminal : law of this country-" There is no doubt at all, adds the inspector, that the remains in the hands of thp " police are those of Edward Hay- . ward.
