Appears in a newspaper article on on 14 August 1891 at at Manchester, Lancashire, England, THE LOVE TRAGEDY AT TODMORDEN.
It is now supposed that the young shop manageress at the Todmorden Co-operative Stores, Miss Clara Law, did not commit suicide, but was murdered. Such, in effect, is the testimony of the medical gentlemen examined before Mr. Barstow, one of the county coroners, at Todmorden. The inquiries concerning the deaths of Miss Law and her former sweetheart, John William Halstead, were originally fixed for half-past ten o'clock on Thursday week, but, at the request of Mr. Sagar, the solicitor representing Halstead's relatives, they were postponed till four o'clock in the afternoon at the York Hotel- At the outset of the proceedings the Coroner apologised for any inconvenience to which the jury had been subject by the adjournment, and indicated the course of procedure he intended to adopt.
Dr. W. H. Holden, locum tenens for Mr. Elliott, surgeon, Todmorden, stated that at about midnight on Monday he was asked by police-constable Wright to accompany himn to the confectionery department of the Co-operative Stores in Dale Street. He did so. He there saw the body of the deceased lying on the floor. She was surrounded by blood, and in his opinion she had been dead three or four hours. He saw that she had her throat cut, which no doubt was the cause of death. He did not examine the wound except casually. In consequence of statements made by the witness in the course of his evidence, the coroner instructed Dr. Holden to conduct a post-mortem examination, and he accordingly left the room for that purpose. The examination was made in the presence of Dr. Hope, attending on behalf of the relatives of the deceased girl, and Dr. Thorp, who was instructed to attend by Mr. Sagar for Halstead's relatives.
The medical gentlemen were absent from the Coroner's Court a little over an hour.
Dr. Holden, on returning, described the results of the post-mortem examination. He said: There are no external marks of injury on the body, with the exception of the wound in the throat previously spoken of. The wound has divided all the structures to the vertebrae. It is a clean cut wound, extending further and deeper on the right side than on the left. This was the cause of death. The deceased was pregnant. Witness added: I do not think the wound was self-inflicted. In the first place, the wound is circular, and being deeper on the right side than on the left makes it inconsistent with having been self-inflicted by a right-handed person. Another reason is that the wound is too deep and long to have been self-inflicted. The wound must have been inflicted by a sharp kife, and he should say at one stroke.
Mr. Craven: It would be satisfactory to know if the other medical gentlemen agreed with Dr. Holden.
Dr. Hope, questioned by Mr. Craven, said he was present at the post-mortem examination, and agreed entirely with Dr. Holden's conclusions. In answer to a juror, he also expressed the opinion that the table knife pruduced was a likely weapon to have caused the wound.
The inquest was adjourned till Tuesday afternoon.
During the post-mortem examination on the body of Miss Law, the coroner and jury proceeded with and concluded the inquiry into the death of John William Halstead. Much of the evidence adduced had reference to the unfinished inquiry.
The first witness was Edmund Haistead, brother of the deceased. He spoke to having seen the deceased at about five minutes past eight on Wednesday morn- ing near his home in Victoria Terrace, Eastwood. The deceased, in reply to an inquiry, said he was going for a walk. He was pale, but otherwise appeared as usual. On tho previous night witness told the deceased of his suspension at the Co-operative Stores.
Samuel Greenwood, driver of the pilot engine running between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge, described how he saw, shortly after eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, the deceased deliberately throw himself before the locomotive and get killed. The driver stated that for a moment Halstead hesitated, and then took the step which cost him his life.
Police-constable Copping gave evidence as to the removal of the body, upon which were found two pennies stained with blood, and a letter.
The Coroner: Is there any evidence as to the state of the man's mind?
Superintendent Fearnside intimated that John Halstead, the father of the deceased, was in attendance, and he was accordingly called.
The father deposed that on Wednesday morning he asked the deceased why he did not get up and go to work. The deceased replied that a message from the manager of the stores had been sent that he had not to go. Witness then had a conversation with him about the Dale Street affair, asking if he had anything to do with it. The deceased said he had not, but people were trying to make it out otherwise. He afterwards said he was innocent of the job altogether, but that his evidence was not strong enough. In reference to the latter remark the deceased explained that between leaving the shop and going home on Monday night he went into Wellington Road to see whether the shutters of a house were closed, but that on the way he did not see any one to whom he could refer.
Miss Mary Hodson. the young lady to whom the deceased had latterly been paying his addresses, was next called into the room, and was questioned by Mr. Sagar as to the state of the mind of the deceased when she last saw him, namely, on Tuesday afternoon and evening. The witness replied that she did not notice anything beyond what might be expected under the circumstances from a person of sensitive mind. She was astounded when she heard of the death of Miss Law.
The Coroner here read the letter found upon the clothing of the deceased. The document, which was not dated, contained the following:-
Dear father, brother, and sisters, and my dear Mary,- I intend comnitting suicide, as it appears to me they intend to swear my life away. It appears to me, although I am innocent, that they are all against me. She has constantly been trying to scandalise me, but this shall be final. Do not put any blame upon any one; I will take it all myself. I refer to our people. I am willing to die like a man, although I am innocent. I leave all my share and loose money to my father. . . In referringe to my dear Mary I hope she may be looked upon as an angel. There is no blame attached to her in any way. Now, dear, put it on one side, and look at it best you can. I know it will hurt you, but I feel right fast as they seem all against me but you. Good night! God bless you and comfort you! But I do think He has forsaken me.
The Coroner having summed up at some length, the jury found as their verdict that Halstead committed suicide, but there was not sufficient evidence to show his state of mind at the time.
The inquest on the body of Miss Clara Law was resumed on Tuesday, at the York Hotel, Todmorden. Miss Law was in charge of the confectionery department of the Co-operative Stores, and John William Halstead, a former sweetheart of hers, was engaged in the butchering department. Both remained at the stores after closing time on the 3rd inst., and it was suggested by the police at the inquest that they were together in the confectioner's shop after the lights were turned out. At midnight Miss Law was found with her throat cut, and on the followings Wednesday Halstead, who evidently thought he was suspected of murder, committed suicide by throwing himself under a tram. The inquest on his body was concluded last Thursday, the jury finding that Halstead committed suicide, but there was not sufficient evidence to show his state of mind at the time. The inquest on the body of Miss Law was now concluded. Mr. Barstow was the coroner, Mr. Craven appeared for the relatives of Miss Law, and Mr. Sagar for the relatives of JJohn William Halstead.
Mrs. Law said the deceased, who was her daughter, had been manageress of the confectionery department of the Co-operative Stores for about two years. She was 25 years of age. As far as witness knew, she never kept company with any one but John William Halstead, the man who had committed suicide. They began to keep company about eight years ago, but the engagement was broken off two or three years ago. She did not know that Halstead was enrgaged to another woman as long as two years ago. She did hear of it afterwards, and she advised her daughter to give him up.
Miss Emily Helliwell said that up to the 3rd of Aungust she was assistant to the late Miss Law. Miss Law asked her that day to go with her in the evening to a dentist's, and she agreed to do so. Witness expected the deceased to call for her, and she waited at home for that purpose, hut Miss Law did not come. The deceased complained of headache. Three of them. left the stores at ten minutes past eight o'clock by the back door. Miss Law was then turning out the lights, and apparently intended going away at once. The key of the door at the back of the shop would be outside. The shutters were closed and the front door was locked. Witness did not see Miss Law alive again. She did not go to the shop until a quarter past eight o'clock next morning. The key of the back door was I then inside. On the following Saturday she saw something like bloodstains on the door, just above I the lock. She had cleaned the door on the previous Monday, and had seen no stains then. On the Wednesday she saw bloodstains, as she took them to be, on the key of the back door. She did not know that John W1illiam Halstead had charge of any of the keys of the premises.
Other witnesses having been examined.
Sidney Needham, junior to Halstead in the butcher's shop at the Co-operative Stores, said they finished work together about ten minutes past eight on the night of the 3rd August. Witness left Halstead at the back of the premises. Subsequently he noticed that the back door of the confectioneris shop was open, although there was no light in it. He looked in but could see nobody. Upon his calling out, however, Miss Law answered him. Witness left her, and proceeded into the cellar of the butcher's shop, to see if the door was locked. At the bottom of the cellar steps he met John William Halstead. They were both rather surprised and startled. A minute before witness had heard a box in motion. He found this box laid across the passage, and stumbled over it. A few words havin been exchanged, witness proceeded on his errand and Halstead went up the steps. Witness did not hear him go any further than the top of the steps, which was within a yard and a half of the confectioners shop door. He was not taking very particular notice, however, of the footsteps. When he passed the confectioner's shop himself, a minute later, the light was out again, but the door was still open. By this time it was half-past eight. Witness did not look in, and did not see either Halstead or Miss Law again. He tried the butcher's shop door again, and left the premises. He did not know of any business that Halstead could have, in the cellar that night. It was usual for Halstead to have the key of the front door of the butcher's shop in his possession on Monday nights. Witness did not know how the man left the premises. It struck him at the time that Halstead and Miss Law were courting a little.
By Mr. Supt. Fearntide: On the Tuesday morning witness referred to the discovery of Miss Law's bodv, remarking to Halstead, "It's a bad job this, John.' Halstead replied that it was, but he could hardly think that Miss Law had "done it herself." Witness asked who could have done it, and further inquired if Halstead went into the confectioner's shop after they met on the previous night in the cellar. Halstead replied that he did not go into the confectioner's shop; he went straight away from the place.
By the Coroner: He had seen them together several times. He knew they had kept company a few years before, and on the night of the 3rd inst. he thought they were "warming the old broth up again."
After some further evidence had been given,
Mrs. Law was recalled and asked if she could explain the discovery of a whitish or yellowish powder which was found in one of the cups at the shop. In reply, she stated that the deceased had been in the habit of taking pinkish powder to cure her of headache. Witness did not believe that the powder in the cup was the same as she took for headache.
Sergeant Walter Watkins said he had two interviews with Halstead on the 4th inst. Witness asked him to account for his time from leaving the stores to arriving home. In reply, he made a statement which witness took down. He said Miss Law came into the butcher's shop about 5 p.m. and gave an order for articles, which he afterwards sent into the kitchen. No conversation I passed between them. He next saw her about 8 15 p.m. He did not speak to her then. He left the premises at 8 15 or 8 20, and went into Eagle Street to look at an empty house, going home afterwards. He had not been out with the deceased during the last five years. He was not out with her on the previous Saturday. He had never promised to marry her. He did not know of the condition she was in. He was not aware that she had ever kept company with any one.
The Coroner, in summing up, said there were several facts which told in favour of the theory of suicide, and several which told against it. There was no evidence that the girl's mind was unhinged, and it might be contended that a confectioner's shop was an unusual place to commit suicide in. There was also medical evidence that the wound did not appear to have been self-inflicted. If it was a case of murder the only person who seemed to be implicated was John William Halstead.
The jury retired shortly before 10 o'clock at night to consider their verdict, and after 25 minutes' absence they stated that they were unanimously of opinion that Miss Law had been murdered, but there was not sufficient evidence to show by whom the wound which caused her death was inflicted. To the verdict they added an expression of sympathy with the families of Miss Law and Halstead. A large crowd was assembled outside the hotel by this time, but the verdict evoked no demonstration of any kind.
The remains of Clara Law were interred on Friday at Crosstones burial ground, the Rev. Dr. Lightfoot officiating. The funeral was witnessed by a great number of people, and much sympathy was expressed with the famly of the deceased.10 His estate was given Letters of Administration on 30 May 1893 at Wakefield, Yorkshire, England. The estate was valued at £52 0s 0d.8

Appears in a newspaper article on on 12 June 1903 at The report from the Smallpox Hospital at Sourhall shows a very satisfactory diminution of the cases under treatment as compared with a week ago, although it very disappointing to have to report two new cases admitted since our last issue, both young children, and brothers of a patient already there, who was rent about a fortnight ago. They are Sidney Halstead (4 years), and Eric Halstead (3 months), of Beech-view. Charlestown, and were removed to the hospital on Monday last. The disease is supposed to have been contracted in the Halstead household from a case which occurred in a house close by a few weeks back.

Obituary of Arthur HALSTEAD: on 4 March 1904 at Todmorden, Yorkshire, DEATH OF TODMORDIAN AT MEXBOROUGH.
Many of our readers will regret to hear of the death of Mr. Arthur Halstead, a native of this town, who a couple of years ago removed to Mexborough. Deceased was a member of the West Riding police force, and was 26 years of age. Although at times for the last two months he has complained of not feeling well, he remained on duty until Saturday last; Dr. Huey (the police surgeon), was called in, and on Wednesday afternoon the assistance of a specialist from Sheffield was obtained. The trouble was in the bowels, which were very much inflamed; appendicitis set in, and though an operation was performed the poor fellow passed away during the evening, the disease having become too acute to yield to the efforts of the doctors. P.C. Halstead was held in high esteem both by the officers and townspeople of Mexboro, and much sympathy has been expressed for his widow and child. Before joining the force deceased was very actively connected with Lineholme Baptist Sunday school. The funeral will take place to-morrow, at our parish church.9 Arthur was buried on 5 March 1904 at Christ Church, Todmorden, Yorkshire, England.8
