Mrs Fulham and Lieutenant Clark were charged in February of last year with the murder of Mrs Fulham's'husband, a fellow-officer of the male prisoner.

The fcmalo prisoner's offer to turn King's evidence was refused. After a lengthy hearing Lieutenant Clark and tho woman were found guilty, aud sentenced to death, with three natives who assisted in the crime.
