In reply to Mr. Peters, witness said he did not know that John took any of these knives away with him. James Mead, provincial officer, remembered October 10, before the preliminary hearing. A statement was signed by Joseph May in the presence of Chief Minty. Chief Mlnty testified that the statement signed by Joseph May was read to him by himself (Chief Minty). The court adjourned at 11:30 until 2 o'cloik. Upon resuming in ihe afternoon Mr. Peters said that he had decided in view of the-weakness of the case! I of the Crown to call no witnesses. Mr. Fisher in addressing (lie jury. contended that the case was not as! weak as It was represented. He re-i called the oi mini staples connected with the movements of the accused.] He traced (he movements of the two men, Taylor and the accused, who had been drinking. The connection with the ferry and with tho boat of George Belrnes wore all alluded to. He said il was clear that the two Taylor had the hat and coat of the accused on. Mr. Fisher showed that the pieces of the neck of a bottle found near the body fitted into the bottle that was left in the boat of George Belrnes. Reading the statement signed by Joseph May made before Chief Minty it was argued that tne shirt belonged to John May. The statement said John May returned home at twenty minutes to 1. He had only his underclothes on. His trousers were wet, indicating that he had washed the parts ,to obliterate the marks of blood. It was evident that the men were drinking. They had exchanged coats. The Indian had the bottle when last seen. It was free to suppose that Taylor wanted the bottle and the Indian wisher! to take it home. A scuffle probably followed, and Taylor, according to the wounds described by took off his shirt and threw it away. When he came to the boat he found only one oar. He went to the ferry to get an oar from there. He expected to find the ferry locked. Finding the ferry not locked he took it across, forgetting about tke things he left in the boat farther down. The only wet elothes In the house when search was made next day were the man's trousers. It is evident that he attempted to wash the blood marks off the trousers. Adair Carss, in addressing the jury on behalf of the prisoner, said he did not place much credit on the supposition that It was John May that was heard tnlkinp: when drunk because the language of the man sounded like Siwash. Drunken men's language might be taken sometimes for any language. The coat that (he man Taylor wore when stabbed was the coat of the Ihe doctor, had probably been Be- accused. It was not peculiar that the verely wounded across the nose.! hat of the accused should be worn Iso. The finding of the shirt was a very so men were ai the South Hazelton station. The Indian, the accused, offered a drink to a railway official, Taylor was undoubtedly the other man, who, knowing he should be on duly, tried to conceal himself from him. The two men Btarted off down towards iT«e bridge. There were evidenci vcrc- struggle. The Indian had ' a little to be wondered at. It was a knife and Taylor had none.

The hatred of the assailant is the Crown tried to discredit Ihe shown by the stabs inserted In the statements of the boy. If they did, back after he went down. i(hen hJs evidence' was not to be be- The Indian, Inning done the deed," lieved on any point. It was more started for the boat. The Indian was likely that he was telling the truth still drunk and started back. He ' when he said he did not notice what John May had on when he came in as It was dark at the time, rather than, when the police wrote what they wanted him to say and got him to sign it. If the Jury believed all that was put forth by the Crown this man shed the evidences ef his crime from the very body of the victim lo his home. That was the work of a madman or else of another designing person. It were better to have several guilty men escape than have one Innocent man suffer. Tho Jury must be perfectly satisfied In the matter of circumstantial evidence. It was dangerous to place too much confidence as to matters of lime and casual conversations. Circumstance could become most pliant in the hands of those who wished to mould them. Presuming that the man was guilty and that they were drinking together, the Indian would have been able to have got madly drunk. The man who was killed was guilty of an offence ff It were true that he gave the liquor to the Indian. That man was guilty of having caused his own destruction. His Lordship in charging the jury remarked upon the fact thai il was a most solemn act. A Canadian citizen had been brutally murdered, it ippeared. It was a crime against society and should be traced home Circumstantial evidence was often more cogent than direct evidence.

Palnce Rupert, B.C., April 9, 1914. -MR. HARRY HANSON, "Tks Reliable Plumber," Prince Rupert L.C.: Dear Sir,—I have great pleasure in certifying ro th° excellent ot water and heating system that you installed in our parsonage ...ad that after six months of operatoti through the winter months It has given eveiy satisfaction. The system heats a thirty-gallon tank of water to boiling temperature in one hour after the fire has been started; K in no way Interferes with the oven for baking purposes. In addition to this the warll radiator which y.ou placet! in dining room and connected with the range boiler has given us splendid saiisfactlon, supplying us with ample healing throughou the winter, savins us the cost of a stove and fuel. I most heartily testily to tho satisfaction and efficiency of your system and gladly recommend It. Sincerely yours, - - (Signed) i REV. i .1. F. DIMMICK. [60 LHTTBRS LIKE THIS.

If the circumstances put in in evidence were such as to be capable of explanation and were not explained by the defence it was justifiable to accept the facts. His Lordship explained the legal side of murder and manslaughter. Drunkenness was no excuse for murder unless it were clearly proved that the man was Incapable of &Hl0OraOX!rtWO<mi<tOl^^ Ql .

As Mr, Carss had said in his excellent address, said His Lordship, were the chain of circumstances compatible with innocence because in many instances the same set were equally compatible with guilt?

This action of the Rpm:i!I Drug Stores of Canada has been undertaken co-operatively, because as a co-operative organization, they realize (low much more can be done unitedly than individually, and it has been taken for two reasons—to fulfill a humane duty in raising a fund for the relief work of the Canadian Patriotic Organization, and a patriotic duty in an endeavor to keep a large staff of Canadian employees busy. The 400 Rexall Stores of Canada make an appeal to your sympathy and support in their doubly worthy cause for increasing the funds of th Canadian Patriotic Organization ..nd for the support o Canadian workmen because: — The fund that would be raised on the basis of last year's business can be tremendously increased if every man and woman in Canada will help a little by the simple process of purchasing Rexall Goods at the Rexall Stores. No need to give space in this announcement to emphasize the high quality of Rexall Toilet and Medicinal goods. Sufficient to say that 7,000 of the leading Drug Stores in Canada, Great Britain, and the United States place their personal and collective reputations behind them; that the public In these countries endorse them to the extent of several million dollars worth of purchases a- year. Better goods are not made, and yon take no risk In buying, for every Rexall Store will return you your money if any Rexall Product is not entirely satisfactory and do it, too, without the slightest objection. There's a full list of Rexall products walling for you at the Rexall Store in your town. Ask for it—kindly pass he word along to your friends. It Is the collective purchases of all that will make this Rexall .Store Fund for ilia Canadian Patriotic Organization work a big one. The Fund will be col!ect9 from each Rexall Store In Canada by the United Dnis Company, Limited, Toronto, and will he paid by them .Irocl in the officers of the Canadian Patriotic Org;ini.:,.tioii, and the amount so collected win he published in this paper when paid over.
