CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, June 21, 1979 Sometimes an inci- dent associated with a murder case becomes more celebrated than the murder itself. The untimely departure of Neville:-Norway from had been savagel beaten about the head, These blows had caused leath. Some mystery developed when an exa- mining physician reported that he had these worldly precipitated such a phe- nomenon, Today the unusual happening is the only reason the murder is remem- bered. Itall took place in 1840 in Wadebridge, in the English county of Corn- wall, where Neville sold lumber and general goods. The 39-year-old entrepeneur did most of his business at markets in the scores of villages which dotted the coun- tryside. On Feb. 8, 1840 Neville conducted business at the market in the neigh- boring town of Bodwin. As usual, all transac- ‘tions were for cash. During the course of a purchase Neville emp- tied his purse into his palm, revealing several gold and silver coins. He picked the pieces necessary to complete the transaction and thought little more about it. Later, witnesses standing close by recalled the incident. They also recalled noticing William Light- foot taking in the scene. Lightfoot was a local lad who knew Norway by sight. That evening Neville Norway transacted business right up till 10 p.m. At that time he saddled up his horse for the rather lonesome nine mile trip from Bodwin to his home in Wadebridge. Neville never made it. For the first three miles he was accom- panied by a friend. Then his friend branched off, following another road. Neville continued on alone. When Neville’s horse showed up riderless at his home, his family was justifiably appre- on Neville’s neck. There were no bullet wounds about the body. Local police searched the scene. They found a pool of blood on the road, and a smoothed out path to the stream, where the body had obviously been dragged. They also found a tramped down area behind a nearby hedge with two sets of scuffed footprints, indicating that Neville had been ambushed. His turned out pockets left no doubt as to the motive for the crime. When the police found the broken off hammer of a pistol close by, they realized that Neville most probably had some gunpowder spill on his neck while The citize area were incensed at the cold blooded murder. Travelling the deserted dark roads of rural England over a hundred years ago was a necessity to’ many occupations. If one couldn't travel in safety, the selling of farm produce would be greatly hampered. A reward was posted, and a constable sent down to conduct the murder investigation. The constable went about tracing Norway’s activities on the day of his death. During the course of these inquiries he was informed that William Lightfoot had been seen drooling over the late Mr. Norway's gold coins. Moreover, William and his brother James had not left the Bodwin market until shortly before 10 p.m. on the night of the murder. This was a late hour for men whose business did not require that they be up and about. of James . The 'y of blood on the saddle turned their apprehen- sion to fear. Servants and neighboring farmers combed the roads for some sign of the missing man. The night was pitch black. It wasn't until daylight broke over Pencarrow Woods that someone Spotted a. piece of white shirt sticking out of a brook which meandered along the roadside. They had found the body of Neville Norway. He A ,Lightfoot informed the constable that James had arrived home very late that night, and that he had heard Mrs. Ligh- foot crying shortly after his return. The homes of the Lightfoot brothers were searched. In a hollowed out ceiling beam in James’ home, the con- stable found a revolver with a broken off hammer. A hammer found at the scene of the crime fit the revolver perfectly. James was taken into custody. Two days later Wil- ‘liam was in his cups at the local grog shop. While being offered ympathy over his brother’s predicament by a fellow imbiber, he let slip that he too was involved in the murder. At first each man tried to cast the full blame on the other. Then they decided to tell the truth: It was a simple story of murder - for gain. THY brothers had waited for Norway.. They knocked him off his horse, and when their pistol wouldn’t fire, they beat their victim to death. The two men-were tried for murder on March 30, 1840. Thirteen, days later they were’ eadly dream his horse. One drew a_ on the left hand side of hanged before 10,000 cheering spectators, and so ended the lives of the two killers. The case, so similar to hundreds of others, should have long since passed from memory: But this was not to happen, for a psychic phenomenon, much more unusual than the murder itself, was to unfold. Neville Norway’s brother Edmund, was a sea captain. On the very night of Neville’s murder Edmund was at sea. Edmund went to bed early on the evening of Feb. 8, 1840. He dreamed that his brother was riding his : h ‘Norway expresse: pistol and fired twice. In the dream Captain Norway heard no sound from the pistol. The two assailants dragged his brother across the road and dumped his body in a brook. In his dream, Captain Norway . observed a house on the left hand side of the ‘Toad. . At 5 a.m. Norway awoke and took com- mand of the ship, When he relieved the Second Officer, Henry Ween he s ,told him about stange dream. Ca tain ie opinion that his brother had been murdered. He told Wren that he was. very familiar with the road leading to Wade- bridge, and was puzzled by one discrepancy in the dream. He had dreamt that there was a house on the left hand side of the road. In reality, he distinctly recalled that there was a house there, but it was located on the right hand side of the road. Captain Norway com- forted himself with the thought that since there was one glaring error in his dream, it was pos- sible that the entire dream had no relation to actual events. Still, Captain Norway was so affected by his realistic dream that he wrote it all out in the ship's log. Upon his return to England, Captain Norway found out that his brother had indeed been murdered. .
