  CAMBRIDGE INDEPENDENT PRESS: CAMBRIDGE MAN WRONGLY ARRESTED. CHARGED WITH THE OXFORDSHIRE MURDER. The expectation that the police had at last made an important capture in connection with the murder of Frank Allwood by the roadside at Tackley, Oxfordshire, about 12 months ago, has not been realised. On Saturday the police arrested Benjamin Kempton, of Cathcart-street, Kentish Town. When the charge was read to him, Kempton said, "You've made a big mistake this time. I have never been in Oxfordshire in my life." When told he would be taken to Oxford, he replied, "All right, I can prove that I was in Cambridge with my father and mother at the time of the murder." This statement was communicated to the Cambridge police, and, on inquiry, was found to be quite correct. On Saturday evening Kempton was brought before Mr J White, an Oxford County Magistrate, and discharged. We understand that Kempton only left Cambridge in January of this year, and that he has since been working in London. It is stated that he means to make a claim for wrongful arrest.
