"'Why were no inquiries made at Stowmarket to learn what, if any, strangers were in the town on New Year's Eve? "'Most minute investigations should be pursued with reference to Margaret Hume-Frazer's friends and associates. "'Has Fergusson ever been asked if his master received any visitors on the day of the murder or during the preceding week? If so, who were they?
II. of this work was quite printed, or they might have saved me some research for that volume as well as for its predecessor. Prefixed to them Mr. Laing gives a portrait of Young, after a photograph taken from the original picture long preserved in the Vicarage of Stowmarket, but now in the possession of H. C. Mathew, Esq. of Felixstow, near Ipswich.
Thomas Young, the Puritan minister, of Stowmarket, Suffolk. It is generally claimed for Young that he was an East Anglian. Professor Masson has, however, settled the question that he was a Scotchman, of the University of Aberdeen. Be that as it may, like most Scotchmen, he made his way to England, and was employed by Mr. Milton, the scrivener of Bread Street, to teach his gifted son.
He had met her at the park gate, and had driven her over to catch the early train at Stowmarket. Then it appeared, too, that, by degrees, various articles of her property had been conveyed to Mr Batherbolt's lodgings in the adjacent village, so that Lady Pomona's fear that Georgiana would not have a thing to wear was needless.
The 'coincidence' will ensure its acceptance by every morning paper in London, and you can safely leave the reporter himself to add details about Mr. Hume's connection with the Stowmarket affair." The detective rose. "Will you be here when I come back, sir?" he asked. "I expect so. In any case, you must follow on to my chambers. To-night we will concert our plan of campaign."
He was here for the Assizes, about some case, I think. Oh, I remember the 'Stowmarket Mystery' and he stayed at the hotel where Flossie was engaged. How she ever came to take notice of him, I can't imagine. She was a queer sort of girl used to wear bloomers, and get off her bike to clout the small boys who chi-iked at her." "Do her people live here?"
Here also he had an assistant, Goody Phillips, who no doubt continued the work after he left. He was back again in Aldeburgh on the twentieth of December and the seventh of January, and the grand result of his work was summarized in the brief account: "Paid ... eleven shillings for hanging seven witches." From Aldeburgh, Hopkins may have journeyed to Stowmarket.
Young escaped the Star Chamber, but, like most good men who would be free at that time he had to fly his native land for awhile. Milton refers to this exile in his Latin elegy: ‘Meantime alone Thou dwellest, and helpless on a soil unknown, Poor, and receiving from a foreign hand The aid denied thee in thy native land.’ It seems from this that the living at Stowmarket was under sequestration.
Regarding Young as Milton did, we may be sure that he would have been only too glad to listen to his suggestions and adopt his advice. There must have been a good deal of plain living and high thinking at the Stowmarket Vicarage when Milton came there as an occasional guest. This is the more probable as Milton’s earliest publications were in support of the views of Smectymnian divines.
Someone had exercised rare discretion in ordering a special meal; the wines were good, and two at least of the company merry as emancipated school children. The barrister soon received ample confirmation of the discovery made by the Stowmarket waiter.
