EMILY KAYE'S DEATH.
I TRIAL OF PATRICK MAHON. ; RUSH FOR SEATS. ■ LONDON", July IG. ' Unprecedented scenes were witnessed at the opening of the trial of Patrick Mahon, the commercial traveller, who is charged with murdering the typiste, Miss ', Emily B. Kaye, at a flat at Eastbourne. L People flocked to Lewes from all parts , of England, and great queues assembled at the Courthouse in the early morning. Many offered £10 for tickets of admission. Sir Henry Curtis-Bennett, K.C., prosecuted, and Mr. J. D. Cassels, K.C., ' M.P., defended. The evidence was mainly a recapitula- . tion of that given before the Coroners' Court. Mahon was calm and debonnair, ' but showed traces of having spent a sleepless night. During the formal ; reading of letters by the clerk of the Court he fell asleep, but during the hearing of the evidence he was most alert.— • (A. and X.Z. Cable.)
