  • 12 Oct 1886: KINGBRIDGE. Death of Mr. J. Maye.—On Sunday the inhabitants of this town were surprised to hear of the death of Mr. Maye Croft, Charleton. The deceased was widely known amongst agriculturists. He has filled the position of Guardian for years for the parish of Charleton. It was his custom to come to town on Saturdays, and scarcely ever missed doing so. It appears that he was here as usual on Saturday; he was taken ill during the night, and expired. He leaves a widow aud a large family to mourn his sudden loss.27
  • 30 May 1887: MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE AT KINGSBRIDGE. Miss Gertrude Maye, daughter of Mr. John Maye, of the Croft, Charleton, about two miles from Kingsbridge, left home on Thursday, aud has not since been heard of. She is about 15 years of age. On Thursday afternoon she set out for a walk, and as she did not return in the evening her friends became uneasy and inquiries were instituted. Parties were organized, and a diligent, but unsuccessful, search has been made. Miss Maye was seen in the village of Frogmore, about a mile from her home, at five o'clock in the evening, and it was noticed that her dress was covered with mud. Some boys also say she fell down by the river side, but got up again. She was also seen to turn down by the water side from Frogmore, but from that point all trace of her movements ceases, nothing more being gleaned. Various conjectures are afloat as to what has happened to the young lady.
    A telegram received on Sunday night says that the body of the young lady was found on the Sands near Prawle on Saturday evening. No reliable explanation of the painful occurrence is forthcoming, but the body bears no marks of violence.28

  • 30 May 1887: MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY. On Thursday afternoon Miss Gertrude Maye, daughter of Mrs. Maye, Croft Farm, Charleton, left her home and was not afterwards heard of. Miss Maye was about 15 years of age, and was noticed to pass through Frogmore, Ford Chivelstone, and in the direction of East Prawle on the evening of her disappearance. The gravest apprehensions as to her safety were entertained. The rocks at Prawle Point are very steep. Her friends, who are very highly respected, suffered the most serious anxiety respecting the mysterious disappearance of the young lady. The body of Miss Maye was discovered on the sands below the cliffs at Richam, between Prawle Point and Salcombe Harbour, on Saturday afternoon. An inquest will be held.30
  • 1 Jun 1887: THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY NEAR KINGSBRIDGE. The inquest on the body of Miss Gertrude Elizabeth Maye, of Croft Farm, Charleton, which was found near Dicker's Rock, near the Rickham Coastguard-station on Saturday afternoon, was held at Croft on Monday evening, before Mr. Sydney Hacker, District Coroner. It will be remembered that Miss Maye left her home about 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon and was traced as far as East Prawle, where she was seen about 7 o'clock the same evening. Although a most diligent search was made, nothing was heard of the whereabouts of the missing young lady until about 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, when her body was found, on the sands at the place already indicated, by P.C. Thomas White. The case has attracted much attention in the district, and the utmost sympathy has been felt for Mrs. Maye and family, who are very highly respected, in the sad calamity which has so suddenly overtaken them. At the inquest, Mr. Alfred James Coaker, of Charleton Manor, was chosen foreman of the jury, and the first witness called was Miss Marian Maye, who deposed that the deceased was hes sister and resided with her mother and other members of the family at Croft Farm. The deceased was 14 years and 9 months old. In addition to her mother, two brothers, and three sisters, a gentleman, named Mr. Upjohn, also resided with the family as a boarder. On the previous Thursday the deceased had dinner with the members of the family, when she ate her dinner and was bright and cheerful, and laughed and talked with the others. She was in her usual health. She was asked by her mother and Mr. Upjohn to go to Kingsbridge in the afternoon, and she laughed and replied, "Yes." The last witness saw of deceased was when she passed the window and went up to see the pony put in the carriage. She changed her mind after dinner, and said she would not go to Kingsbridge; but she did not say why. Witness thought she was going until she heard someone say in the passage, "Ar'nt you going? " and she said "No." She had never before been to the spot at which her body was found. She had never been beyond Ford before. She had her garden things on when witness saw her. She was very quiet and reserved in disposition. She was always on good terms with her sisters and the other members of the household. Witness never heard of any unpleasantness at all. She did not wear any jewels or other valuables, and carried no purse when she went away.— Mr. Henry Upjohn said he resided at Croft, and was an independent gentleman. He had known the deceased as a member of the household for many months. He had asked her to go to Kingsbridge on the Thursday. He was at dinner with the deceased and the rest of the family. Nothing took place at the dinner which threw any light upon the matter. There was nothing in the manner of the deceased which was unusual. She was cheerful and pleasant, as she always was. At the dinnertable witness told deceased that he should wish to go to Kingsbridge in the afternoon and asked her to accompany him. She said she would be pleased to do so. Witness did not see her again until some time after dinner. As he left the house to go to the pony carriage she joined him. He observed she was not dressed to go to Kingsbridge, and remarking it said, "Arn't you going to Kingsbridge with me?" and after a little time she said she was not going. Nothing else occurred but his (Mr. Upjohn's) repeated questions as to why she was not going, and she gave no reason whatever. There was nothing unusual in her manner. There was no pique. Deceased was his little friend, his little playmate, and he asked her as usual to go with her sister and himself to Kingsbridge. Witness did not know why she did not go, but his opinion was that she wished to get some wild flowers for him. She knew he (witness) was passionately fond of wild flowers, and she had taken the vases out of his room in the morning and stated that she was going to re-fill them. His idea was that she promised to go to Kingsbridge on the spur of the moment and forgot about the wild flowers. She was in the habit of filling the vases for witness, and often took long walks by herself to get the flowers he liked. Witness went to Kingsbridge, and Miss Alice Maye went with him. When she told witness she was not going she showed no temper. When he asked her the reason she cried, as if she did not like to be pressed on the subject. Witness thought it was her modesty, her maiden delicacy which made her not like to tell she was going to get flowers for him. He thought with her disposition that would cause her to cry. No one else was present when she cried. When the deceased left witness she was not crying.—Andrew Popplestone deposed to seeing the deceased pass over the cliff on Thursday afternoon and go into the mud in the creek. He thought her conduct rather strange, as she walked where the mud must have been her boots; but he was in the habit of seeing the deceased and her sisters about the creek, and did not therefore speak to her. —Thomas Easterbrooke, a labourer, residing at Ford, saw the deceased pass on the road between 4 and 5 o'clock.—Clara Blank, a domestic servant, of East Prawle, saw the deceased pass by Mr. Foss's house about 7 o'clock on Thursday evening. She had a green fern in her hand and another at her breast. — William Henry Burner, a labourer, saw the deceased on the road at East Prawle about half-past 6 on Thursday. When she saw him she got over the wall and ran along the field in the direction of Moor Sands.— P.C. Thomas White deposed to finding the body of deceased about 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon near Dicker's Rock. He stood at the top of the cliff, which was about 40 or 50 feet high, and saw the body of the deceased on the sands below. There was a very narrow bridge across to an island, and it had rails only on one side. The bridge crossed from the field. The body of the deceased was found below, in the direction of the side on which there was no rail. If deceased had got in from the bridge the tide would very likely wash her to where she was found. She had lost one shoe and her hat was gone.—Dr. William Henry Webb, of Kingsbridge, deposed to examining the body, which had the appearance of having been dead from 24 to 48 hours, but it had not been in the water all the time. There were a few post mortem scars and bruises, but the cause of death was drowning.—Sarah Dammerell gave evidence that the pockets of the deceased were empty when the body was found.—The Coroner having reviewed the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned," the evidence not being sufficient to lead them to any other conclusion. The funeral of Miss Maye took place yesterday.31

  • 26 Dec 1912: OLD STORY. EMBEZZLEMENT. BIDEFORD BANK MANAGER SENT TO PRISON. Robert Loney Maye, manager for a number of years of the Bideford branch of Lloyd's Bank, whose arrest on Saturday caused such a sensation in the district, answered to his recognizance at the Bideford Police Court the day before yesterday on charges of embezzling £25 and £10 from his employers, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the second division. The Magistrates present were the Mayor (Mr. H. N. G. Stucley, in the chair), and Messrs. J. Cock, W. T. Goaman, H. M. Metherell, and G. Boyle. The exact charges against the prisoner were of feloniously ana fraudulently embezzling and stealing, on July last, the sum of £25 in money, received by him for his employers, and, within six calendar months therefrom, on July 30, a further sum of £10, similarly received by him.
    Mr. W. E. Pitts Tucker, of Barnstaple, who appeared for the prosecution, said Maye was appointed manager of the Devon and Cornwall Bank, at Bideford, in April, 1900, and when it was acquired by Lloyds Bank, in 1906, continued as manager, and acted as such until the beginning of last week, when, consequent upon a report made by the Bank's Inspector, he was suspended. Investigation followed, leading to the present proceedings. He emphasised the fact that these were not taken in any spirit of vindictiveness, but out of a sense of duty owing, not only to the public, but to the rest of the staff. The first charge had reference to moneys paid in by Mr. Richard Steer, of Buckland Brewer. On July 2nd, the latter went to the Bank and paid in two cheques, one for £52 11s and the other for £30. The accused, who received them, filled up the usual bank credit slip. Mr. Steer said he would like to have £5 in cash, which he took, and this left the slip, which he (Mr. Steer) signed, showing the receipt by the Bank of £77 11s. After Steer had left prisoner filled in another slip, on which only the receipt of the cheque for £52 11s appeared, and this was passed through in the usual way. The balance of £25 Maye converted to his own use. Mr. Steer was in the habit of putting in his passbook once a quarter to have it made up. On the next occasion that he did this Maye was careful to get the book himself, and not let the clerks have it, because they would have noticed the difference in the entries. As to the second charge, proceeded Mr. Pitts Tucker, Mr. J. T. Crews, of Bucks Barton, Wolsery, paid a cheque for £50 into the Bank on July 30th, filling up a credit slip for this amount. The accused, however, retained it, and filled in another, in which he entered the receipt of the cheque for £50, but "out" £10, so that the slip only showed a credit of £40 when the Clerk entered it in the Bank's books.
    Evidence in support of this statement was given by Richard Steer, of Buckland Brewer, and John Thomas Crews, of Bucks Barton.
    Charles Edmund Rotherham, District Inspector of the Bank, deposed to examining the books of the branch in February last. At that time there were several pass books not in, and he intimated that by the time of his next "visit he wished them to be there for inspection. On December 10th he commenced his second inspection, aud found that, in the two cases in question, the pass books and the bank ledgers did not agree. He called Maye into the managers room, and pointed out that the entries did not tally, and accused thereupon said: "I may as well confess that I have had the money." He then gave witness every possible assistance in his investigations.
    P.S. Newberry gave evidence of arrest. The prisoner, being charged, pleaded guilty, and asked to have the case dealt with summarily.
    Mr Pitts Tucker pointed out that the Bank had had to make good the amount stolen.
    Mr. W. B. Seldon (Messrs. Hole, Peard, and Seldon) appealed to the Bench to bear in mind Maye's previous good character and antecedents, and to, so far as they could consistent with their duty, temper justice with mercy. The accused had given way to temptation, and it was the case of the old story, so often heard, repeating itself. He had hoped things would improve; he hoped against hope, and, in endeavouring to pull himself back, only sunk deeper into the mire. Now, at the age of 51, and after 35 years' service in the B?ank, he found himself in the position of having lost his situation, lost the chance of the pension to which We would have been very soon entitled, and was absolutely penniless. He was a married man, but fortunately had no family.
    The Magistrates, after a brief retirement, sentenced the prisoner as above stated, the Chairman (Mr. Stucley) expressing regret at seeing a man like him in such a position.37

  • 27 Dec 1912: BANK MANAGER,Charged with Embezzlement at Bideford
    The sensational arrest at Bideford on Saturday of Robert Loney Maye, manager for many years of the Bideford branch of Lloyds Bank, had its sequel at the local Police-court on Tuesday, when defendant appeared on bail, charged with embezzlement of sums of £25 and £10 from his employers. The Magistrates in attendance were the Mayor (Mr. H. N. G. Stucley), in the chair, Messrs. J. Cock, W. T. Goaman, H. M. Metherell and G. Boyle. The public attendance in court was not large, owing to the awkwardness of the day.
    Mr. W. E. Pitts-Tucker, solicitor, of Barnstaple, appeared for the prosecution.
    Opening the case, Mr. Pitts-Tucker said he appeared on behalf of Lloyd's Bank, whose painful duty it was to prefer these serious charges against accused, who was their manager at the Bideford branch. Maye was appointed manager of the Devon and Cornwall Bank in April, 1900, and when it was acquired by Lloyd's Bank in 1906, Maye was continued as their manager, and had as such until the beginning of the week, when, under a report made by the Bank's inspector, he was suspended from his duties. Investigations followed, and led to these ultimate proceedings being taken against him.
    Dealing with the respective charges, Mr. Pitts-Tucker said the first had reference to the payment in of Mr. Richard Steer, of Buckland Brewer, who was a customer of the Bank. On the 2nd July last he went to the bank and paid in two cheques, one for £52 11s and another for £30. He saw Mr. Maye, who took the cheques from him, and filled up the usual bank credit slip. Mr. Steer said he would like to have £5 in cash, which he took, thus leaving the credit 6lip showing £77 11s. The credit slip was signed by Richard Steer. After Steer had left the bank, Maye took the credit slip, did not put it on the file to go through the bank books in the regular way, but took another credit slip and filled that up himself, but did not show both cheques. The credit slip Mayo filled up showed one cheque only of £52 11s, which slip was put with the regular bank papers, and in the ordinary course went through to the ledger clerk, who would enter into the bank ledger on Steer's account credit of £52 11s, and not £77 11s, as had been actually paid in. He should put in evidence Steer's pass-book, which would show their Worships in Maye's handwriting a credit on 2nd July of £77 11s, yet the bank only gave credit for £52 11s. the difference of £25 Maye putting in his pocket. Mr. Steer was in the habit of putting in his pass-books once a quarter to have them made up. When it came in, Maye was careful to get the book himself, and not let the clerks have it, because they would have found out the difference in the entries.
    In the second case, proceeded Mr. Pitts-Tucker, Mr. J. T Crews of Bucks Barton, Woolsery went into the bank on 30th July last and paid in a cheque for £50. He filled up the credit slip for £50 and signed it and when he had gone Maye kept the credit slip and cheque for £50, filled up another credit slip in in his own handwriting, in which he showed a credit of £50, but "out" £10 so the slip only showed a credit of £40 when the clerk entered it in the bank's books.
    The advocate's statement was borne out in evidence by Richard Steer, of Buckland Brewer.
    Mr W. B. Seldon (Hole, Peard, and Seldon), solicitor, of Bideford, made a most eloquent appeal on accused's behalf, which raised emotion, not only on the part of Maye, but of many members of the general public present. One was called, he said, at times to perform unpleasant duties, and he felt that in deciding that case the Bench had the most difficult task, which they, in their experience, had ever been called upon to decide. At the outset he should like to thank his friend, and those responsible for the prosecution for the very fair manner in which they had presented their case, and for their support and assistance in enabling their Worships to deal with the case summarily. Defendant had pleaded guilty, and had elected to he dealt with by that Bench. Some time ago he was assailed by temptation in the beginning without meaning in the slightest degree then to be a thief or dishonest. He gave way to temptation, and it was a case of the old story they had heard of so often repeating itself. He hoped things would improve; he hoped against hope, and in endeavouring to pull himself back, he only sunk deeper into the mire, and the result had been a culmination in the proceedings taken that day. Prisoner now, at the age of 51 and after service of 35 years in the bank, found himself in the position of having lost his situation, lost the chance of the pension to which he would have been very soon entitled, and was now absolutely penniless. Prisoner was a married man, fortunately without any family.
    "We are now," continued Mr. Seldon, as breathless silence held the Court, "on the eve of a great festival—a time when we talk of peace and goodwill towards men, and I do beg of your Worships most earnestly to consider, when you retire to decide what your vefdict shall be, and bear in mind my unfortunate client's position, bear in mind his good character previously, his antecedents, and if you feel that you can, consistently with your duty, temper justice with mercy, I do not think in the years to come you will find your clenmency has been misplaced."
    On Mr. Seldon resuming his seat the Court burst forth into applause. After a brief consultation, in private, the Chairman said that the Magistrates felt that the duty they had that morning to perform was an exceedingly painful one. Their sentence was three months' imprisonment in the second division.39

    Thomas Mave, the husband and father of the victims of the triple tragedy at West Charlton, near Kingsbridge, Devon, was arrested at a Plymouth nursing home yesterday, and charged with murder. The tragedy occurred in the early hours of June 12, when Mrs Emily Maye and her daughter, Emily Joan Maye, were discovered at Croft Farm, West Charlton, dead with terrible head injuries. Another daughter, Gwennyth Florence, was alive but unconscious. She was also badly battered about the head, and she died in hospital a few hours later. The discovery was made by a house boy on his return from a dance. Later the police found the father, Thomas Maye, in bed in the house with an injury to his head and he has been under medical treatment ever since. Maye was brought before the Kingsbridge magistrates later this afternoon, and remanded to Exeter Prison until July 22.45
  • 17 Jul 1936: FARMER CHARGED WITH MURDER. Sequel to Kingsbridge Triple Tragedy ACCUSED'S ALLEGED REPLY TO POLICE "I Loved Them Too Well" There was a sensational development, Tuesday, in the Kingsbridge triple tragedy, discovered in the early hours of Friday, June 12th, when, at Croft Farm, West Charleton, Mrs. Emily Maye, 68; and Miss Emily Joan Maye, 28, were found dead of terrible head wounds, and Miss Gwenneth Florence Maye, 25, was taken to Kingsbridge Infirmary, also badly battered about the head, and died there soon afterwards.
    The deceased were the wife and two daughters of Mr. Thomas Maye, 72, a leading farmer in the district, and whose family have farmed Croft for very many years. He himself was found lying in bed with a serious head injury, and some of the bedding was alight.
    Mr. Maye, on Tuesday afternoon, was arrested at the nursing home at Plymouth, where he had been recovering from his injuries, and was conveyed by road to Kingsbridge to appear before the local Magistrates on charges connected with the shocking tragedy.
    SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. Immediately after the discovery of the terrible occurrences at the farm, it will be remembered, Mr. Maye was taken to Public Assistance Institution, where his injuries received attention. Soon afterwards he was removed to a nursing home at Plymouth, and there underwent an operation to the skull. The operation proved successful, and he has made steady progress towards recovery. During the whole time Mr. Maye was in the nursing home an officer of the Devon Constabulary was in attendance. An inquest was opened at Kingsbridge on Saturday, June l3th, by Mr. Windeatt, the Deputy Coroner, who at the outset told the jury there were reasons why he should not say anything except to put the facts before them so I far as was necessary that day. Evidence of identification was given by Mr. J. H. Fairweather, of East Charleton, medical evidence was adduced by Dr. W. H. Cowper, and the inquiry was adjourned to "some future date," the Coroner remarking that it might not be necessary to call upon the jury again.
    Major L. H Morris, Chief Constable of Devon, visited the farm soon after the tragedy, and special and exhaustive investigations, were carried out by Det-Inspector A. E. West, of Exeter, assisted by Det.-Scrgt. Wm. C. Harvey.
    Deep sorrow was caused in the district by the news of the triple tragedy, all the members of the Maye family being held in the highest esteem; they had taken an active part in the social life of West Charleton.
    News of the occurrence was cabled to a son, Mr. Jack Maye, in India, and he arrived home a few days ago, and has visited his father at the nursing home.
    PROCEEDINGS AT KINGSBRIDGE. Proceedings at Kingsbridge on Tuesday afternoon were brief, lasting only a few minutes. They took place in a room at the rear of the police station, before one magistrate, Mr. Ashley Froude, and in the presence also of police officers and relatives of the accused. Maye why was dressed in a gray suit and gray overcoat, appeared with his head bandaged, and with evidences of a scar protruding from underneath the bandage. He seemed considerably shaken from his normal robust health, and was given a seat during the proceedings. He showed no emotion except when his reply to the warrant of arrest was read.
    Mr. M. J. McGahey, of Messrs. Dunn and Baker, Exeter, appeared for the accused, and there were also present Mr. J. Maye, the accused's only son, and Mr. Norman Wroth, his son in-law.
    The Justices' Clerk told the prisoner of the nature of the charges against him, namely, of murdering his wife, Emily Maye, and his two daughters, Emily Joan Maye and Gwenneth Florence Maye, on "the night of June 11-12."
    "You are not asked to say anything at the present time," he added.
    Supt. Milford said the accused was arrested a short time before at Plymouth, and he intended only to call evidence of arrest, and then ask for a remand in custody to Exeter Gaol until July 22nd.
    Det.-Insp. A. E. West said that at 1.40 p.m. Tuesday he saw the accused at Woodside Nursing Home, Plymouth, in the presence of his solicitor. "I disclosed my identity," said the witness, "and read to him three warrants charging him with the wilful murder on the llth-12th June of Emily Maye, Emily Joan Maye, and Gwennelh Florence Maye, all of Croft Farm, West Charleton.
    "I formally cautioned him, and he replied, 'I think it absurd, making that accusation, as I loved my wife and daughters too well.' "
    Supt. Milford said that was all the evidence he proposed to call.
    REMANDS AT EXETER.
    Mr. McGahey said he raised no objection whatever to a remand, but he would like to make a suggestion that any future remands that might be required by the prosecution, until such time as they were ready to proceed with the case at Kingsbridge, should take place before a magistrate at Exeter.
    The Chairman said that could be done. Supt. Milford agreed, and remarked that such an arrangement would be convenient for the police as well as for Mr. McGahey.
    Mr. McGahey asked if it was possible for ths magistrate to commit the prisoner to the prison infirmary.
    Supt. Miiford said a communication could be made to the prison authorities. The accused was then formally remanded until July 22nd.46
  • 13 Nov 1936: NOT GUILTY. TRIPLE MURDER CHARGE AT ASSIZE. South Devon Farmer Acquitted. MR. JUSTICE CHARLES STOPS CASE. After Doctor's Evidence. "MIGHT HAVE BEEN SPARED THIS ORDEAL."
    There was a sensational ending to a triple murder trial at Devon Assize on Monday, when on the direction of Mr. Justice Charles, the Jury returned a verdict of "Not guilty" against Thomas Maye, of Croft Farm, West Charleton, near Kingsbridge, of murdering his wife, Mrs. Emily Maye, aged 70. He was then formally charged with murdering his two daughters, Emily Joan Maye and Gwenyth Florence Maye, and on each count a formal verdict of "Not guilty" was returned. Mr. G. D. Roherts and Mr. A. Hawke were for the prosecution, and Mr. F. S. Laskey and Mr. H. Elam for the defence. Appalling Tragedies.
    Mr. Roberts, in opening, said that the evidence would disclose a series of appalling tragedies in a West Charleton farm-house, occupied by the prisoner and his family. The farm was lonely, consisting of a dwelling-house and outbuildings. Mrs. Maye was a woman of 70 or 71 years of age in June of this year; Joan was 28, and Gwenyth 25. "The evidence goes to show," said Mr. Roberts, "that the life lived by prisoner and his family was a perfectly happy and peaceful one. There is no evidence of any serious dispute or quarrels, and there is no evidence of any motive which could have actuated the sane mind of the prisoner in any way to desire the death of his wife or either of his daughters,
    "I say the sane mind. Equally, there is no evidence at all that the prisoner has been at any time out of his mind. He was leading a normal life up to the night of these tragedies. Since these tragedies there is equally no evidence that the prisoner is in any way insane.
    Mr. Roberts went on to describe how a lad named Lockhart, employed at the farm, went out about 7.30 that night to go to a dance at Stockenham, which was four miles away. He came back on a bicycle about 9.30 for his coat. Actually he saw no one in the farm-house, but he heard voices which he thought were those of the girls talking. He left the farm again at 9.30 and in it at that time were Maye, his wife, and two daughters. Lockhart returned from the dance about 2.45 in the morning. Between 9.30 on June 11, and 2.45 on June 12, a series of the most, dreadful occurrences took place in that farm-house.
    The Injuries.
    Mrs. Maye was found with her skull fractured lying dead near her bed, with her body partly burned, paraffin having been poured over it, and around it, a deliberate attempt, after her murder, having been made to burn her body. The girl Joan was found lying dead on the landing. She had four severe injuries, to her head, having been struck with great violence. Her skull was fractured. She was lying in her nightdress. Gwenyth was found alive, but dying, at the foot of the front stairs. She also had terrible wounds to her head. Her skull waa fractured, and she died at 5.30 that morning. Maye's skull was also fractured, although not so severely as in the case of the other three. He was able to get up, to talk, and walk, and dress himself. "But it is only fair that I should tell you at this early stage," said Mr. Roberts, "that according to the opinion of one of the doctors who was called and operated on Maye the severity of the injuries to the head was such that in all probability after having received those injuries there must have supervened some period, possibly substantial period, of unconsciousness."
    Counsel narrated how when Lookhart returned to the farm he saw blood coming from under a door, and returned to the village and summoned the police. Mr. Roberts described the condition of the house, the finding of a hammer on which were discovered hairs of Maye, his wife, and Joan, and the disclosure that paraffin had been dropped over some of the furniture. The room occupied by prisoner and his wife was full of smoke, and clearly a determined attempt had been made to burn Mrs. Maye's body.
    Doctor's Evidence.
    Evidence was given by various witnesses, and it was when Dr. G. C. F. Robinson, Plymouth, was giving evidence that the sensational ending took place. Dr. Robinson was describing the three scalp wounds sustained by Maye, which he said looked to him as if they had been given to him while he was lying in bed when the Judge intervened.
    "Would any of these three be sufficient to render him unconscious," he asked, ond the answer came: Straight away, my lord."
    The Judge: Do you think it conceivable that he could have done it to himself?
    Witness! Not the least bit.
    Mr. Laskey: Were the cuts consistent with someone standing by the bed and striking with this hammer on the left side?
    — Witness: I think so.
    Are they more consistent with that than with anything else?—Yes.
    Further replying, witness said that in his opinion the blow on the jaw was consistent with it having been delivered while prisoner's face was covered with the bedclothes,
    Judge Intervenes.
    At this stage the Judge intervened to observe that in the opinion of the prosecution's own skilled witness prisoner was struck by someone else when he was in bed, and that he was nearly killed by that someone else, and that he could not have struck the blows on himself.
    Mr. Roberts: Yes.
    The Judge: How can it be that he should be the person to have done what precisely was done to him? The blows are exactly the same by the same instrument.
    Mr. Roberts: If I gather that it is your lordship's opinion, in view of the evidence that has been given, that it would not be safe to continue this prosecution, I at once defer to your lordship with pleasure.
    The Judge: I do, because I have looked through the rest of the evidence. "It seems to me," added his lordship, "that whatever evidence there is I should be bound, and in duty bound, to apply those principles that you so clearly and so absolutely fairly indicated were the principles governing a case of this sort.
    I should be bound to put to the jury that it was more likely upon this evidence that he was attacked by someone than he attacked anybody."
    Mr. Roberts said it would be obviously improper for his learned friend and himself to continue the prosecution. They deferred, and deferred gladly, to what his lordship had said. With his lordship's permission he thought it was his duty to say that he would offer no further evidence.
    The Judge; I think you are taking the course which I not only expected, but, which I was quite certain you would take. It was obviously a matter for me to intervene. Nothing could displace that evidence so vitally in favour of the accused which made it quite impossible for the jury to find him guilty.
    Turning towards the jury, and directing them to return a verdict of "Not guilty," the Judge said the evidence given, by the doctor made it abundantly clear that prisoner was hit while lying in bed by somebody else and very nearly killed.
    There was no more reason for supposing, so far as he could see, that prisoner smote the others than the others might have smitten him. There was no proof.
    The jury thereupon returned a verdict of "Not guilty," and Mr. Roberts intimated that he would offer no evidence against Maye on charges of murdering his two daughters, and the jury returned a verdict of "Not guilty" on each count.
    Difficult Problem.
    Mr Roberts said the case had been a difficult problem for the police of the county. The whole matter was subjected to careful examination by Inspector West. The whole of the facts were submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Chief Constable of the County consulted with the Director. It was only after those steps had been taken that the prosecution was instituted on the advice of counsel. It was exhaustively inquired into by the Magistrates at Kingsbridge, and they decided there was a case for trial.
    The Judge: For the first time in the whole of my experience in the opening of a murder case the jury has been told that the case had only been launched after the Chief Constable and the Director of Public Prosecutions have most carefully considered the matter and have come to the conclusion that there is a case to proceed. That, has nothing to do with it, unless the Director and the Chief Constable were both going to be called to give evidence, which would he inadmissible.
    "The only thing I have to say is that I cannot quite agree with what you say. Having made this a public matter in the opening to the jury, I feel bound to say that I think, after close consideration of the doctor's evidence, that the man might have been spared this ordeal. That is the view I take.
    Mr. Laskey: Might I . . . .
    The Judge: I think not.
    Mr. Laskey: What I wished to do was to express the recognition on the part of the defence of the assistance given by the police to the defence at every stage.
    The Judge: I want it to be quite understood that in saying what I do say, I am in no way attacking the police, who appear to have called every witness who could have been of any assistance to the defence, including the vital witness, Dr Robinson. If they had not called him, I could not have stopped the case, but the Crown, acting with that fairness with which it always acts, called the witness and put all the evidence before you to consider. I think we need discuss it no further."
    Maye appeared to be somewhat dazed on hearing the verdict. When he recovered he waved a hand to someone in Court and was assisted from the dock. He left by a side entrance, where he was met by a couple of friends, who offered congratulations. and his son, who quickly led him to a motor car and drove away, unobserved except by a few spectators.47
