NELSON  & C  SUNDAV   MORNING,  OCTOBER  24,   1909
IS ABUTTED
Frank Kootenay Goes free
on Murder Charge
SELF DEEEENGJURVS VIEW
PRISONER'S STORY OF THE FATAt
DRUNKEN ROW 18 ACCEPTED-
RIDER ATTACHED TO VERDICT
DEPLORI^Q    FACT    THAT    IN-
.   DIAN8 CAN GET LIQUOR
"Not guilty; acquitted on ground of
self-defence."
Tho above were the termB of the
very positive verdict rendered by the
Jury ln the Kootenay murder trial last
night, and by virtue of which Frank,
an Indian of the Kootenay tribe, alter
two trials extending over four days,
today walks the trail a free man. The
verdict was rendered at 8:16 o'clock
last night as the conclusion of the second trial, which consumed two days,
Including evening sittings.
The scene was impressive, but the
sentiment in the crowded court room
rather expected acquittal, or, ot moBt,
manslaughter with a recommendation
for mercy, and the seriousness that
usually broods over a court room on
such an occasion was by no means intense. This expectation was partly
based on the attitude of the crown and
of his lordship. The demeanpr of the
prisoner was the same as during the
trial, and he and the Jury were equally the object of the gaze of the crowd
when the 12 men filed to their seats.
Some ot the Jurymen were observed to
smile faintly, an obvious signal that
the verdict was not guilty. Then Alexander Carrie, foreman of the Jury, announced the verdict as given above.
"My lord," he added, "we have attached the following rider to our verdict: We, the Jury, In bringing in a
verdict of acquittal, wish unanimously
to condemn the laxity ot the method of
enforcing the regulations which makes
it so notoriously easy for Indians to
obtain liquor."
Chief Justice Hunter, addressing the
jury, said:
"Gentlemen of the Jury, with regard
to the rider you have attached to your
verdict I may say that I am ln thorough accord with the views you have
expressed. And I am willing to do all
I can to secure a change In the law.
The penalty for selling liquor to Indians should be imprisonment without
the option of a fine. There Is no doubt
that the unfortunate Baptiste met his
death through the Chinaman's action
ln selling him liquor.
"Mr. Interpreter, you nppear to have
a wide acquaintance among tho Indians of this district, and I wish you
. would tell them that being drunk ls no
excuse for the commission of a crime.
Tell them that .any Indian that drinks
liquor runs large risk of ending his
lite on the gallows or ln the penitentiary. The wise Indian, if offered
liquor by either a Chinaman or a white
man, will at once inform tlie police."
His lordship directed the interpreter
to Inform Kootenay that the crown
still had the power to Indict him for
the mutilation of the dead body and
also for the theft of the dead man's
money.        v
A. M. Johnson, counsel for the de
fence, then moved tor the discharge of
the prisoner and his lordship discharged him. The discharge of the
Jury followed.
• The trial of Frank Kootenay for the
murder of Antoine Baptiste, a young
Indian, to whom he had almost been
ln the relation of an uncle, at GraBsy
Point, on Aug. 16 laBt, was begun on
Wednesday morning and 11 witnesses
for the crown were examined. Thursday morning the Jury was discharged
because three Jurymen had been separated from their companions the night
before. A. new panel was ordered and
the trial was negun afresh on Friday
morning, terminating last night in acquittal. One ot the features of the
case was the existence of four statements, made to as many persons, hy
Frank, the admissibility of which as
evidence was stoutly and successfully
resisted by the defence. On the first
trial the chief Justice ruled out the
statements made by Frank to Constable Devltt on Aug. 20, at the time
of his arrest, to Capt. Fraser ot tho
steamer Kootenay on Aug. 21, and to
Coroner Rose on Aug. 29, It being held
that the statements were not made by
the Indian with a knowledge Ot the
protection the law afforded him. At
the second trial, by agreement between
R. S. Lennie, crown proseoutor, Mr.
Johnson and his lordship, the conclusions arrived at on these points at the
first trial were conceded.
The admissibility of the fourth state-
ment, which was the one made hy
Frank at his preliminary hearing before Magistrate Jordan of Nakusp, on
Aug, 31 or Sept, 1, was argued at the
opening of the sitting yesterday morning. The crown placed Magistrate Jordan on the stand, and while he swore
that he gave the Indian the proper eau*
tlon ln English, and also explained' It
to him in broken English, he would not
swear that the Indian knew the Import
of the words. He said he got Mr. Fauquier also to explain the caution   to
Frank in broken English and ln Chinook. Frank was not sworn and he
was not provided with an Interpreter.
Mr. Fauquier waa also placed on the
stand, and It developed that all the
Chinook he had mastered tor Frank's
benefit was one word, which signifies
"understand." * Ift response to this
word Frank had nodded his head.
.'.ir. Johnson objected to the admission of this statement on three
grounds, but his lordship stopped him
in the middle of his argument, saying
it was not necessary to go further with
it, as he was not at all convinced that
the prisoner had understood the situation. "It Is little short of a farce," said
his lordship, "to read over that rigmarole ln English to the Indian. For the
purpose of obtaining justice the examination might just as well have been
conducted ln Chinese." his lordship
then ruled out the fourth statement.
This concluded the crown's case, and
Mr. Johnson, for the defence, called
Frank himself. The prisoner was the
only witness called by the defence and
his examination was not concluded tilt
4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Cocoa commission, appointed by the
German residents of Samoa, ordered
some of the plantations to be burned
ln order to exterminate disease now
attacking vegetation, planters resisted
the police by force of arms. For several days the planters remained barricaded In their homes and fired on

planters declared they had only fired
blank cartridges. Two planters were

WITH LANDS PORTFOLIO
BELIEVES GOVERNMENT'S RAILWAY POLICY BEST MOVE
EVER MADE IN HISTORY OF
PROVINCE—VANCOUVER NOMINATIONS
(Special to The Daily News,)
VICiurtiA, -uct. U3.—Price Ellison of
Vernon, who represented Okanagan in
the last legislature, has been invited
by Premier McBride to tuke the portfolio of lands in the provincial government and has accepted. Mr. Ellison
arrived this ufternoon from the mainland und after a conference with the
premier the suggested appointment
was submitted to the lieutenant governor, who signified his approval.
Mr. Ellison is u rancher and farmer
of the Okanagan district and was the
first to advocate the government adopting an active irrigation policy. The irrigation bill was introduced last session and the policy will be actively
prosecuted under the direction of Hon.
Price Ellison.
.   (Special to The Dally News.]
VICTORIA, Oct. 23.—"I am convinced that the railway policy enunciated by Hon, Richard McBride ls the
most Important forward move and the
best ever made in the history of the
province," remarked Mr. Ellison when
seen by The Daily News correspondent
alter the announcement of his appointment.
"It has been received in Okanagan
and upon the mainland generally with
the greatest enthusiasm, and it ls lelt
that the progress of British Columbia
will be immensely accelerated by its
adoption. The agreement is certain of
ratification by the people of British
Columbia as a whole and Premier McBride will be returned with a majority
larger than the one he hud at the last
legislature.
"The, construction ,or tlie Kettle
Hlver Valley railway extension will be
of Immense value to my own constituency. It will touch Okanagan lake at
Suminerland. Incidentally it will open
up one of the richest mining regions In
tlie west, that at Aspin Grove, where
the valuable copper, silver and gold
deposits have only awaited the advent
of a railway to make their development practicable. The projected extension passes within five miles of
Aspin Grove. I have the assurances
of Mr, Mann that the Canadian Northern will hasten construction upon a
branch line from Kamloops south, by
way of Grand Prairie and down
through the Okanagan valley. Col.
Davidson of the railways engineering
staff, will shortly visit the district to
arrange for this connection. Nothing
of greater moment to British Columbia has ever been proposed than the
construction of this line.
"I have always been a profound admirer of the Hon. Richard McBrlde and
a firm believer in his politics. The
position of the province as contrasted
wiui its former condition financially
and In every other way is the strongest trlBste to bis wise and progressive
administration. I cannot express my
pride and pleasure at entering his
cabinet. I am one with him in his policy of preserving the land for the settler and the conservation of the natural resources of British Columbia for
Its present Inhabitants and for posterity.
"I am certain the people will endorse the government's railway policy,
the forerunner of a renewed era of
prosperity, greater by far than the unprecedented growth and advancement
British Columbia has enjoyed during
the seven years of the administration
of Premier, McBrlde."

HAS FREEDOM
Verdict of Not Guilty in
fernie Case
LOCKHART IS ACQUITTED
FIRE RELIEF FUND TRIAL COMES
TO AN END—EVIDENCE CONCLUDED AND JUDGE AND
COUNSEL ADDRESS JURY-
DRAFT SUBJECT OF  DEBATE
After two days'- trial, much of
which haB heen devoted to an intricate
examination of accounts, the famous
Fernle relief fund case came to an end
yesterday evening with a verdict of
"not guilty," arrived at by the jury
alter scarcely a moment's consideration.
The result was generally expected
and at the close of tue cuse, Herbert
G. Lockhart, the accused, was the recipient of warm congratulations from
many of those present in the court
room, who shook him by the hand and
expressed their pleasure at the result
of the trial.
It was nearly 6:80 when the evidence was all In, and Justice Clement
then told tlie jury that they might go
home, but were to return to consider
their verdict, which he would be ready
to receive at il o'clock. Promptly at
the hour the jury was polled, the judge
took his seal, and the verdict was recorded.
"Let me give you a word of advice,
Mr. Lockhart," said the judge in releasing the accused, "not to turn over
any large sums of money in the future
without taking a receipt."
"Thank you, my lord," responded
Mr. Lockhart,
H, U. Hall and W. P. Thompson appeared for the crown and S. S. Taylor
and A. I. Fisher tor the defence.
The first witness at the morning session was George H. Boulton, who audited tie books at the time they were
passed over to Webb by Lo khart, on
or about Sept. 10. He said the entry
in his handwriting and "O.K.'d" by htm,
$11,142.28, represented the difference
between the debit nnd credit sides of
the cash, it was In fact the cash balance of the Items on that page of the
cash book. He was present when Lockhart handed over the" cash to Webb.
He helped Webb with the 'books an
Webb knew little about-bookkeeping.
In tho matter of the Calgary draft ofi
$3500, and the Calgary check of $2600,
he said, In reply to Mr. Hall, that if
the $2600 did represent the Calgary
draft of $3500, the entry made on account of the check should have been
$3500.
On cross examination by Mr. Taylor
the wilness admitted that the entry of
$2600"inade by Lockhart for the check
was accurate and that such an entry
-would have to be made In the cash
book and In that place. Also, Lockhart
could not charge hack the $3500 draft
until it was returned to him and it was
not returned until Sept. 25y when Webb
had charge of the books. A correcting
entry of $000 should have been made
at the end of September.   ■
When Lockhart called out. the figures when he and the witness were
making out the balance sheet, Lockhart
was not hesitant and did not appear to
be figuring in his head. He admitted
it would have taken an immense
amount of figuring to cover a theft of
$1)00. "But I do not think he stole It,"
the witness added.
The witness was extremely positive
about the balance sheet which they had
made out, and which the witness. Webb
had not remembered. The balance
sheet showed the names on every
check in the cash turned over, the details of the bills and the sums in silver and gold. He had not seen the
balance sheet since It was turned over
to Wehh. In reply to Mr. Taylor he
could not account for Webb swearing
that lie deposited all the cash he had
received from Lockhart except petty
cash of $15,03, with the coincident fact
that the deposit slip showed thnt Webb
deposited only three $1 bills and twelve
$5 bills, among the rest. The cash
tunned over had a number of $20 and
$10 <bllls. He thought Webb v/ns mistaken in snylng he had deposited all.
The afternoon session was made particularly Interesting by the evidence of
the prisoner, hy the addresses of th©
counsel for the prosecution and defence and by the summing up of Mr.
justice Clement. It was nearly S:'30
when the case went to the Jury, who
were Instructed to report in court nt
9 o'clock. This they did a moment or
so after that hour, having arrived at
an immediate decision in favor of acquittal.
B. F. Ambery. who took over the secretaryship of the relief committee after Webb' i resignation, gave evidence
as to the circumstances. No audit had
heen made immediately before he took
over the books.
A. T.iFlsher, solicitor for the accused,
spoke of having gone to Mary Lamb
while the preliminary hearing was in
progress and having enquired as to the
circumstances attending the cashing of
her check for salary. She told him
that the check had been cashed by
—
NO. 161
Lockhart.   If she denied the fact now
she was telling an untruth.
J. H. Williams, an accountant of Calgary, was the next witness. He gave
considerable expert testimony relating
to the hooks under examination. He
had been employed by Lockhart to go
over the books up to the end of September. He found several items on the
deposit slips not entered in the cash
books, amounting to $413,05, which corresponded with the total of Webb's
cash sales. Items on the cash book
were also not found separately on the
deposit slips. There was nothing in
the books to show how much had been
transferred by Lockhart to Webb. This
amount was most important as it fixed
the responsibility for the shortage.
There was nothing to show that Lockhart took one cent. If the stealing had
been done by Lockhart it would have
had to be done from the unidentified
items -for which he had given receipts
to Webb. To make the amount he
would have had to steal all the unidentified items and more besides.
To Mr. Hall he admitted that he
could not say that Lockhart had not
taken these Items. It would have been
possible for him to take them. Personally when handing over the money to
Webb he would have taken a receipt.
■but this would not be tbe usual procedure. He was not a chartered accountant but he had been tn business for
himself as auditor for two years and
had worked on books for 11 years.
Herbert G. Lockhart, the prisoner,
was then called to the witness box by
the defence. He said that he had lived
in Fernle for seven years. He had
worked in the office of the Trites-Wood
company for four years and had been
In business for himself for about a
year. After be gave up the secretaryship of the relief committee he returned to bis own business. He was made
secretary of the relief committee on
Aug. 2. He would have been glad to
have been bonded and would have
suggested It if he had thought the position was permanent. After he told the
committee that he wanted to get back
to liis own business, he suggested that
the secretary should be bonded. The
suggestion that he should be bonded
had never been made to him,
Mr. Lockhart then related the circumstances under which the relief work
was carried out immediately after the
fire. He looked after ordering supplies
and kept the accounts and was kept
busy from 8 In the morning to 2 or 3
at night. He hnd at first no desk or
safe or office. He only made two do-
posits.
The cash book was written up about
Sept. 5 in the new office. Mr. Boulton
did the wrfting from his dictation from
the casli sheets and deposit slips.
When tbe Calgary donation of| $2000
was entered he had received the check.
When the draft was made $3500 was
entered on the deposit slip. In the
Woodstock case $200 had heen entered
in the cash book, The draft had been
made fnr $2000, In this case also he
know the correct amount when the entry was made in the easli book. Tn
this case he pnt through the correcting
Hem at the end of August. On the balance sheet, he made a note of the $3500
draft and loft it with the secretary.
Boulton, Webb and himself were present when the cash book was entered.
He made entries In the cash book immediately after Webb took office, when
helping Webb to start the 'books. Shanley was continually around the office,
when he made sales of goods he turned the money over to Webb and Webb
turned it over to hlni. Webb was then
acting for tlie supply committee. Whenever he received cash from Webb lie
gave him receipts. He had never received the $250 that Webb said he turned over to him and for which he had
no receipt.
When turning over the cash to Webb
Boulton checked the items and the
sheet was left in Webb's possession.
That was the last he saw oft it. This
balance sheet and the supply books,
showing cash sales, were discovered
to be missing arter bis arrest. When
lie saw B, B, McDermid's report reflecting upon the absenae of the supply
books, he spoke to Shanley and asked
him where the supply books were.
Shanley replied that they were in the
hack office but thnt he was not going
to act as detective for McDermid and
get the books for him. Afterwards he
and Mr. Williams asked Shanley for
the books and he told them to see
Webb. He afterwards said he had
never seen any supply books although
he had previously said they were in
the back office. Webb had never deposited all the cash received from him.
In the amount turned over to Webb
there was at least $500 In currency and
probably $600 to $800. including a number of $20 bills. The deposit slips
showed that these bad never been deposited by Webb.
Mr. Lockhart described the circumstances under which he alleged that
he had cashed tbe Lane check for Mrs.
Lane, and nlso the check for Mary
Lamb. Webb made out the check for
Mary Lamb and he made out Ihe voucher. At the preliminary hearing Webb
said he did not know who cashed the
check. Fisher and he saw Miss Lamb
during the preliminary hearing and she
then said that she remembered that
he had given her the cash for the check
and that she remembered the circumstances.
The accused also gave the particulars regarding tlie C.P.R., the Daly and
the Carlisle cases. In the Carlisle" case
Shanley had sold plumber's supplies
amounting to $122,53 to Carlisle. He
told Shanley to collect the money and
Shanley got a check for the amount.
He sent him over to the bank immediately with the check as he wns not

Local Building Is To Be
Enlarged
RECOMMENDATION  MADE
GEORGE ROSS, CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DEPART-
MENT, FINDS THAT ADDITIONAL ROOM IS NECESSARY FOR
INCREASED BUSINESS HERE
The Nelson postofflce is to be enlarged in tbe near future. Announcement to this effect was made yesterday
after an inspection of the present building by George Ross of Toronto, chief
superintendent of postoffices for Canada, and J. R. Greenfield, superintendent of the service in this province.
J. A. Gibson, the postmaster, has been
urging an enlargement of the building
for the past couple of years and the
matter has come before the officials oP
the department at various times. On
a visit of Inspection here which he has
just concluded, Mr. Ross went carefully
into the whole matter and decided that
an enlargement of the present building
was absolutely necessary and will make
a recommendation to the government
to this effect. The erection of another
wing will follow without delay, it is
expected.
The proposed new wing will be 30
feet by 27 Beet in size and will lie erected in the rear of the present building,
taking up some of the space now used
as a yard. It will be of marble and
brick in keeping with tlie present building and will have a full basement for
storage purposes.
The erection of tbe new wing will
give increased room in tlie sorting room
where the need of extra accommodation
has been severely felt for a long time
past. The present mail rack will bo
greatly extended and tlie facilities for
handling the mail for the districts served from the postofflce thus greatly increased. Additional accommodation for
the public is also to be provided. A
number of new drawers will be put in,
but more important, the stamp vending
registered letter and parcel departments will be greatly extended. Tho
space at present available for these departments has been found lo be wholly
inadequate, especially about the Christmas season.
The present postofflce was completed
in 1903, l>etng occupied for the first
time in September of that year. At
the time tlie postofflce officials as well
as the general public thought that it
would provide all the accommodation
required for a good many years to come.
All were mistaken, however. The development haa been much more rapid
than was expected, so that for the past
two years the postofflce staff bas been
working under most unfavorable conditions due to the luck of proper room.
The new addition will provide all the
room required for the present and It is
expected, for some time to come, although history may repeat itself.
LIMBERGER  FOR  CANCER
Chemist Says Strong-Smelling Cheese
Will Cure Disease
DENVER, Col., Oct. 23.—Limborger
cheese as the principal ingredient ol a
cancer cure Is the announcement of
Philip Schuch, Jr„ a local chemist.
Following the death of his mother, 11
years ago, from cancel', Schuch begun
an Investigation of the cause and
growth of cancer, during which lie asserts that he discovered that the basic
germs of cancer are similar to those
of leprosy and consumption. He spent
several months In the leper colony of
Venezuela, studying the disease.
Schuch's cure consists of thorough
cleaning of the affected parts with
liquor of quicklime and fresh, sweet
milk in equal parts and then the application of poultices and pulped fresh
Swiss or Llmberger cheese, moistened
with glycerine. Although no test of
this has been made, Schuch claims
that the formula should cure mild
cases of leprosy.

IS AGQPED
(Continued From First Page.)
Through the Interpreter, the Indian,
Frank Kootenay, was sworn by the
usual formula, taking the oath calmly.
In reply to questions hy Mr. Johnson,
the witness stated that his name was
Frank Kootenay, the latter name being
that of Ihe tribe. Fifteen years ago
he lived at Kettle lake and since that
time at Arrow lake. During the last
15 years he was engaged in hunting,
and was also working with the white
people. Previously he was at the mission. Usually he worked about half
the year and then went hunting. He
did not hunt all the time In any six
months. In the 15 years he killed one
or two bears and some deer every year.
The witness said he had known the
deceased, Antoine Baptiste, ever since
the latter was three feet tall. He saw
him some every year, but a few nvonths
at a time Antoine would go home to
his father. He and Antoine had been
together very much the last four ypars
and had worked together for Mr. Fauquier.
On the morning of Aug. 15 last the
witness got up at 7:30 and Antoine
about 8 o'clock. After he got breakfast he told Antoine to get up, About
ft o'clock they went to the road, the
witness taking a gun In order to hunt
and Antoine also taking a little gun
he had, .25 calibre. Fra-nk's gun was a
big one.
A rifle was shown tn the witness,
which he identlBled as his own.
The witnesss said the two of thorn
went hunting as planned but did not
get anything, and after they had gone
a mile and a half on ihe road, they
came hack. When they appeared on
the trail leading to tlie house Mr. Fauquier called Antoine and they b-Mh
went. After they came back the witness went to the Chinaman's bouse.
Later Antoine also went to the Chinaman's house and the Chinaman said:
"Come here and I will tell you something." He also said to them: "Come.
and I will get you something to eat."
They then ate a meal. Antoine then
said: "Did the liquor come?" The
Chinaman, who had heen sitting looking at them while they ate, did not
reply, but he went under and got two
bpttles, with liquor In them. One bottle was opened hy the Chinaman and
the witness then knew tt was rye
whiskey., The Chinaman said: "I have
written and I have six bottles," but
said nothing further. Antoine said:
"If it is good I will take it; if It is not
good T will not take it." Antoine drank
and then gave the witness the bottle
and told him to drink to see if It wan
good. He drank a little. A bottle was
produced in court, a quart bottle, with
an orange label, printed In Chinese.
The witnesB said the bottle of the Chinaman was just that size. ■
After they had both drunk, the witness continued, Antoine said: "I am
going to buy It," and paid $1.50 for two
bottles, the ■ money being a dollar in
silver and two quarters.
After this episode, the two Indians
went to their own house, opened the
bottle again, and drank some more.
Antoine then found a small bottle and
filled It from the big one, and the witness took it to his tent. He did not
take tho half bottle with htm on the
trip   later.   He then returned to   An*
toine's house and they lay down for
a while. After about an hour and a
half Antoine said: "Let us go to Burton City," and the witness replied:
"Well, let us go, and I will see my
children." Antoine then said again:
"Let us go then, to Burton City." They
got Antoine's boat, which was a good
one, but leaked some. Tlie witness
to:;k cartrlilges Brom the box and put
them in his pocket; bow many he did
not know. Antoine also took cartridges
and put tiiem in his pocket.
When they entered the boat, tPrank
rowed first, but after a mile and a
half Antoine said: "I am going to row."
They both stood up and then passed
each other, Antoine going faster than
he, and tlie shoulder of the witness
hit Antoine, and the latter's hat fell
Into the water. When they were seated, Antoine at the oars, Frank said:
"Your hat Is In the water." Antoine
said: "Well, let it be there. 1 have
a better one at home." With Antoine
rowing, they passed Mr. Schlag's place.
Antoine was rowing hard and the rowlock on tlie left side broke. Antoine
took off bis shirt, and tied tlie rowlock
with a piece of it. He did not tear the
shirt, but used a part of it, tying the
oar to the side of the boat. They then
went on and arrrlved at. Grassy point.
At Grassy point both the Indians got
out of the boat. There they saw a
stake about 50 steps away and they
both shot at It. Antoine shot only
once at first, and gave his gun to
Frank, who shot only a little. The gun
was in good order. Tlie witness then
shot with his own gun and it was not In
good order, the bullet always going five
or six inches from the mark. Antoine
then shot with Frank's gun. When they
were through Frank had only nine
shells left He did not know haw many
Antoine had left, but Antoine took
shells out of his pocket and put them
in his aun. The witness put five of
his shells in his gun, leaving four in
his pocket. Thus both guns were loaded. They then got into the boat again.
Leaving Grassy Point, Antoine was
rowing. His rifle was at the prow of
the boat and Frank's was lying alongside Antoine. About 200 steps from
there, they landed again. The witness
did not know what Antoine was wanting when he landed there. Antoine got
out first and then said to Frank, who
was sitting in the boat, "come out."
Frank said: "I feel a little sick." Antoine then repeated, "come -here."
•Frank then stood up and went. Prank's
rifle was left in the middle of the boat
and Antoine's was still in the prow.
The witness stopped three steps from
the water's edge.
Mr. Johnson paid a great deal of attention to the position of the guns, believing that the Indian had reversed
them In his mind, but the witness was
positive of what he had already said.
In answer to his lordship, the Indian
said the boat wag bow on to the shore
and about three feet away.
Antoine stepped away and said: "Do
you see me?" The witness, replied: "I
see you, and you are a good man."
Antoine said again: "Do you see me."
to that Frank said: "I have seen you
for a long time, and you are a good
man.'' Antoine asked the question for
the third time and Frank again replied:
"I nave seen you a long time and you
are always my friend." Antoine then
picked up a large sized stone and two
small ones and threw them at Frank.
Frank bent, and they passed over htm.
After Antoine threw the rocks he went
away $6 the boat, got the gun and said:
"Her© I am firing at you, and I kill."
The rifle Antoine took was his own
rifle and not Frank's, and he took it
from the bow.
The ensuing struggle was acted before th© jury, the witness hox, with
the rifle sticking out of It, representing the boat, Mr. Johnson acting the
part of Frank, the prisoner being in
the role of Antoine.   With Mr., Johnson
about five feet from tlie prisoner, the
latter, as Antoine, turned violently toward   the witness box, -dragged   the
rifle out by the barrel, cocking it as
he swung it around toward Mr. Johnson.   A change of roles was then effected, Mr. Johnson becoming Antoine
holding the rifle In a threatening posture and Frank acting his own part.
The Indian, as Mr. Johnson swung the
riflle    around,    leaped    forward    and
grasped it, the right hand on the barrel and the left hand on the small of
the butt.   He struggled for two minutes and then twisted the stock up and
the muzzle down, jumping back as Mr.
Johnson    released his hold.    As    he
jumped back Frank clubbed the rifle
over his shoulder and started to swing
It toward his counsel's neck.   Mr. Johnson winced perceptibly and for the first
time since the prisoner was first arraigned there was hilarity in the court.
The pantomlne stopped here, and the
witness stated that the rifle hit Antoine on the back of the neck, and the
latter fell to uie ground, and lay still,
He thought the blow came from .tha
round  part of the lock of the rifle,
When the fallen Indian lay motionless, the witness supposed he had been
stunned by the blow.   He felt of the
body and found the heart still, nnd the
body rapidly growing cold, the stretched out arms becoming stiff*.    Greatly
alarmed he got into the boat and contemplated the corpse of his friend for
about 30 minutes.    Both Indians had
taken off their shoes and socks while
In  the boat and  were in their have
feet at the time of the fatal struggle.
A watch was shown to the Indian,
and he showed how the hands were at
the Ume they went ashore, and again
at the time he decided on a course of
action.   The latter time was 3:45.
Mr. Johnson here asked that the witness be allowed to state what his reflections were when he found he had
killed Antoine, though it would not he
evidence. On this understanding, the
witness said that when he found Antoine was really dead, he said to himself: "Well, my friend, you are dead.
You like to drink and you try to kill
your friend. You do not know what
has happened and I do not know what
has happened."
It was then he got Into his boat.
Later he said to himself: "I will bring
the body to the water." He did this
in order that no one should sek what
had been done, at this time. He was
very sorry, for he had not been angry
at the man that was dead. He looked
for rocks and faund a lante one. and
nlaced it in th<» boat. He took the
body and stretched it on the ground.
He felt in the dead man's pockets and
found some money, nnd transferred it
to h's own pocket. When he arrived at
Alec's house he found thnt he had
taken $sn, it was four pieces of paper
nf %?.0 ench. Asked by Mr. Johnson
why he took the money, he said he had
beep drinking and he thought he would
take care o,f it himself.
Taking a rope about three feet long
the witness tied one end to the wrist of
the dead man and the other end to the
boat. He was not,sure which wrist it
was, but lie thought It was the left one.
He stopped 150 yards from the shore
and untied the rope from the boat
amd tied the rock with It. The body
would not go down and he raised tbe
shirt, and cut the body on the stomach
with one downward cut. about four
inches long. The bodv was clothed In
trousers, shirt and tinder trousers. The
trousers were buttoned.
After the noon recess, the examination of .the prisoner was continued. In
answer to Mr, Johnson, the prisoner
said he was near to Antoine when he
struck the latter. When he wrested the
gun from Antoine, the latter fell on
his hands and then rose and said: "I'll !
kill you, I'll kill you." When Antoine
said this, his eyes were very bad and
thrust himself in a fighting position toward Frank. His face also flushed as
red as the color of the witness box. The
boat was about four steps away from
the scene of the struggle.
Tying the rope to the dead man's
wrist, he towed the body 15.0 yards
out into the lake and then time on the
rock and threw the rock Into the lake.
The body did not sink and he then pulled up the shirt from the stomach and
made a cut in the body so it would sink.
He put the body into the water so no
one would see it. It hurt him to see
his friend for a long time, so he put
htm into the water. Later he threw An-
tatne's rifle into the water.
Rowing up the lake, tlie prisoner got
out at the point below Burton (Cariboo)
He had half a bottle of whsleky then.
He and Antoine had drunk perhaps 10
times, perhaps 20 times, not counting
the drinks In the Chinaman's cabin.
Antoine had the bottle and always
drank first. The prisoner drank after
Antoine each time and as often as Antoine did He drank no whiskey after
lowering the body of Antoine into the
water, and when he arrived at Burton
he was sober. The leaky boat was responsible for the bills he had taken
from Antoine's clothes becoming wet,
as the water washed back and forth as
he rowed. He dried the bills before
Ihe fire, at Cariboo, as Ann Kootenay,
one of the crown witnesses, had described. At Cariboo he called his brother, Louis, twice. He satd: "Here are
the coat and the shoes of Antoine. I
put them outside of your house." He
told Louis that Antoine had gone hack
to Fauquier's from Grassy point. HIb
reason for telling Louis that was so
that Loiii8 should not find out right
away, and be sorry. He then w4nt to
the house of Alec. Christie at Burton
and they all spent the, night at the
camp. The next morning he went to
the store and bought food for his chil-

dren. He and Alec and two other boys
finished the bottle of liquor Sunday
night.
He stayed at Burton till noon on
Monday, when Alec said, "Let us go to
Castlegar." They got on the boat and
went down tiie lake, passing Fauquier's
ranch. Before leaving Burton lie imt
Antoine's coat and shoes In a sack and
at the ranch lie gave these to Fauquier, saying, "Here are the coat and
the shoes of Antoine." Fauquier
asked him where Antoine was and he
told him Antoine cume back. He told
Fauquier he was going to Castlegar.
He was going away because lie was
afraid Fauquier would find out quick.
He Intended to come hack later und
tell Fauquier that Antoine was dead,
but did not want him to find out then.
The witness and Alec Christie arrived at Castlegar on Monday night.
The next day tiiey went to Thrums and
spent the night there. Then they came
to Nelson, having ?53. He had $40 In
one pocket. He had drunk a good deal
and lie laid down about 30 steps from
the Chinaman's about 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. When he woke up his
money was gone. He did not see Alec
in sight, so he went to tlie bank of the
lake and he found Alec there. They
got a boat from the white people and
went out on the lake, returning to'
Nelson about 0:30 o'clock that night.
They slept In Nelson that night and
the next day they went to Thrums on
the train and had dinner. They went
to Alec Christie's house and slept
there that night. The next day, Friday,
they went to Baptiste Christie's house
and to his sweatbouse, where they
fixed up things. It was there that Constable Devltt arrested them.
All the years Frank and Antoine
knew one another Frank liked Antoine
a great deal, and he thought Antoine
liked liltu. They had never fought seriously. Sometimes Antoine wanted to
fight, but he, the witness, always went
away on those , occasions, One time
this summer, at Corpus Christ!, when
the prisoner was at Marcus, the sheriff
told him Antoine had stolen a horse
and a woman. The sheriff told him Antoine lay drunk a mile and a half from
Marcus and the woman and the horse
went toward tbe mission. The sheriff
also told him that another sheriff had
arrested Antoine, and tbat he, the witness, must pay $12 or Antoine would
remain ln gaol for a long time. He
paid the sheriff $12 and be gave It from
his heart for the release of Antoine.
When Antoine got back Frank told blm
about it, but he did not ask Antoine
to repay the money, and Antoine never
paid him.
His lordship asked the prisoner If he
had previously owed money to Antoine
and the prisoner replied tbat two years
previously Antoine and Alec Christie
fought at Nakusp and Antoine   gave

him $15 to buy two tickets to Enderby
(or Alec, who was Injured, and the witness, who took Alec there (or Antoine.
The tickets cost $14 and there was fl
over. At the time of Antoine's death
the prisoner still owed the $1 to Antoine.1 .
Cross-examined by Mr. Lennie, he
said Antoine was on the ground only
a brief time when he (ell after the witness had taken the rifle trom him. Antoine (ell on his hands and sprang up
again at once. The witness had the
gun ln his hands and the other gun
was In the middle of the boat. An-.
tolne said he was going to kill him and
started toward the witness. Antoine
said four times at Qrassy Point he was
going to kill the witness. He said, "I
am going to Are and kill you," twice.
When he got up from the ground he
said that twice again. After striking
Antoine with the gun the witness waited half an hour and then took the body
by the arms and carried it to the boat.
The (eet were dragging, but made no
mark as the ground was hard. Where
they were shooting the ground was
soft and their (eet left Imprints. The
reason they went to the hard ground
was because Antoine took the boat
there, saying, "Here Is the place, here
we will land," The witness took the
money (rom the body before he tied
the rope to the hand. He did not tie
on thp rook till he had the body out
in the lake. He took the money from
Antoine's clothes when the body was
about five steps (rom the water's edge.
The reason they fired at the stick at
Grassy Point was because they were
glad and the rifles were good. Their
hearts were good and they were laughing. They changed seats about a mile
and a half above Fauquier's ranch,
about opposite Schlag's, betore they
got to Grassy Point.
Asked whether Antoine had anything
against htm, he said he feared Antoine
because, when drunk, Antoine always
boasted of his strength and wanted to
fight. When sober Antoine never was
that way. On, this day Antoine was
drunk and was In that humor, and the
witness was afraid. Antoine did not
tell him why he wanted to kill him.
Antoine was not angry on account of
his bat going into the water.
Mr. Lennie asked the witness if he
could think o( anything that would account (or Antoine's anger, but the witness could think of nothing else.
Later, when under arrest and landing
at Grassy Point with Constable Devltt,
the witness saw his own tracks.
His lordship asked the witness why
he had not retreated when Antoine
sprang at him. The witness replied
that Antoine dashed at him and he
(eared that Antoine would pursue him
and take the gun (rom him and shoot
him. Antoine had nothing in his
hands. When Antoine arose from his
hands the witness backed a step and
clubbed his gun.   His lordship said ap
parently thp witness did not try to re-
treat. The witness said when Antoine
threw the stone he went (our steps
away (rom him and threw two small
ones and a big. one. The witness avoided the rocks by stooping. Antoine
threw the racks very fast. The witness said nothing to Antoine at this
stage. Asked by his lordship why he
had not taken the body to Fauquier's
the witness replied that he had been
drinking and did not think of the hest
thing to do, so went to Burton City.
Asked why he had kept the money and
not given it to Antoine's relations, he
said if Alec Christie had not persuaded
him to go to Castlegar he would have
stayed at Burton City and told them
about Antoine and given them the
money. When arrested by Constable
Devltt he had told the latter that he
had" taken Antoine's money to take
care of it,
Mr. Johnson, ln summing up for the
defence, pointed out to the jury that
the prosecution, before the Indictment
could he sustained, must prove that
the prisoner committed a murder in
the common acceptance of the word,
that is to say, took the life of the deceased man deliberately and (or an
improper motive.
Tracing the history of Indians in
general, the counsel laid stress on the
former bloodthirsty disposition of the
American Indian, his small mentality,
and the terrible effect that fire water
had in releasing his evil passions. He
pointed out that not one witness of the
crown who was acquainted with
Frank but gave him a fine character.

He was 48 years of age and had a
great affection for the mean-spirited
Antoine, 27. years of age. That Antoine had a contemptible disposition,
Mr. Johnson showed by reference to
the testimony of several witnesses, including the destruction of Alec Christie's eye and a threat spoken ln Fauquier's hearing to "fix Prank" If he
did not return the money paid for the
Enderby tickets. On the other hand,
Frank was simple enough to pay $12
to a Yankee sheriff to get Antoine out
of gaol. In every friendly test of
strength between the two men Antoine
had come off superior.
i Antoine was responsible for the two
landing at Grassy Point. Frank did
not want to land, as the destination of
the trip was Burton City, but Antoine
made him get out. With his fury rising, Antoine flrst taunted htm and then
threw stones at him, following this up
hy attacking him. When Frank defended himself by clubbing the gun he
took the one way open to him to save
his own life. To have run away from
the Infuriated younger man would have
been to sacrifice his own life, for Antoine would have overtaken him and
pumped him full of lead.
Mr. Johnson pointed out that anything that happened after the blow
was struck could not be considered, for
both mutilation and theft could be
charged under other indictments.
He claimed that the Indian's story
was reasonable in every detail. After
he had struck the blow in self-defence,
and found he had killed Antoine, he
was overpowered by fear. He did not
then take the course a white man
would have taken, hut, after sitting off
shore In the boat for half an hour to
think It out, he decided to conceal the
body.
His story was corroborated at many
points. For instance, though Dr. Rose
found the trunk cut wide open from
the public arch to the chest, Fauquier
said the body only had two small cuts
on It when It came to the surface the
flrst time and was lost. The crown
had not pretended \o suggest a motive. An expert canoe man, who knew
the Columbia river as the jury knew
Baker street, could have easily escaped
from the country, but he did not run
away. He felt confident the verdict
would be acquittal.
Mr. Lennie, in summing up for the
crown, pointed out that the crown did
not require to prove that the prisoner
killed the deceased, for he had admitted the deed. As for the motive, the
onus of proving a motive was not on
the crown but on the defence.
What, he asked, was the evidence
given by the prisoner, when, on account of tlie evidence given by the
crown's witnesses, he found it necessary to go on the stand to testify ln
his own behalf? His evidence was on
all points except regarding the events I
at or above Grassy Point, merely a
repetition of the testimony given hy
the crown's witnesses. As to what occurred at Grassy Point only tlie prisoner and the deceased knew. Did the
jury believe his story? It was fair,
also, for the jury to take into account
what happened after the biow was
struck. Was it to be believed that
anyone but a guilty man would deal
with the dead body as he did? _
j.ue crown counsel said that'll was
the duty of the crown to see that alt
known facts bearing on the case should
be brought out. On his own admission tlie prisoner was guilty or manslaughter. The crown did not intend
to ask for a verdict of murder, and
he believed his lordship would charge
to the same effect. It was a drunken
fight, In which tbe prisoner had killed
the deceased. He felt confident the
jury would do its duty. The law was
not for any one nationality, but for
every man.
His lordship charged the Jury at
some length, pointing out, first, that
the jury were the sole Judges of the
facts, but that they must accept the
law as stated by the Judge.
In a murder case only three verdicts
were possible, his lordship pointed out,
guilty of murder, guilty of manslaughter and not guilty." Juries were frequently wont to stretch the facts in
favor of the prisoner when the facts
really warranted a verdict of guilty of
murder, bringing in a verdict of manslaughter. The power and the propriety
of rendering a verdict or manslaughter
in such a case were two different
things. In this case, fortuhately, no
such doubt existed, and it had been
sufficiently Indicated by the learned
counsel for the crown that the verdict
should, on the factB, be no stronger
than manslaughter. In this case It
would be an extremely dangerous
thing to bring In a verdict of murder
on such facts as had heen brought out.
The killing hud been admitted hy the
prisoner, so thut fact did not require
to he proved.
His lordship snld that prior to 1892
the law on murder was construed from
previous judgments and  the opinions
of persons learned in the law.   In that
year the Canadian parliament enacted
a law defining the crime of murder explicitly.   His lordship read several sections from tlie Criminal Code dealing
with the crime of murder, particularly
as to what constituted murder,   manslaughter and justifiable homicide,   if
the prisoner—assuming that the story
told by hlni was true—killed the deceased when driven to It to save   his
own  life, it was Justifiable homicide.
If he had an   opportunity   to refrain
from killing him, and still preserve his
own life, it was manslaughter.   Violent
provocation, if ucted upon immediately,
would result In reducing   what   would
otherwise be murder, to manslaughter.
It was for the jury to say whether the
accused's account of the   affair   was
-credible, and also to remember   that
there was nothing ln the evidence to
connect the prisoner with the   killing
of Baptiste except the prisoner's own
■testimony.
Hts lordship advised the jury not to
attach any Importance to the acts of
I mutilating and hiding the body.   It a
I white man mutilated a body it would
Why SlanflelffsOse Nova ScotiaWool
THE chief reason is because the Stanfields
have never found any other wool that
makes Underwear so peculiarly suited to
Canadians.
The salty, ocean breezes and healthful
climate, coupled with the rich grazing, give
Nova Scotia wool a quality which is not
found anywhere else.
Nova Scotia wool is perfectly blended.
It is soft and smooth, yet staunch and
strong. It can be spun like silk and wears
almost like steel. Garments, knitted of this
fine wool, give the desired warmth and are
not heavy or bulky.
It is no exaggeration to say that the
Stanfields get the pick of the Nova Scotia wool. The founder of
these mills did much to develop the sheep-raising industry throughout
the Maritime Provinces. The farmers saved their best wool for him,
and continue to send their high grade wool to the Stanfield mills.
Then, too, this wool reaches the mills in the best possible
condition. There are no long railroad hauls—no lengthy journeys
in the holds of tramp steamers. The wool is shipped direct to Truro
as soon as sheared. Experts sort, clean and make it ready at once
for its trip of transformation into Stanfield's Unshrinkable Underwear.
Stanfield's Underwear is made by the only process which takes the shrink out of
the wool before the garments are knitted.
The value of this discovery—made by the founder of the Stanfield Mills—is
shown by the growth of this business, which is now capitalized at $750,000.00 and
employs over 300 operatives. * t\
Stanfield's Unshrinkable Underwear is made in 3 standard weights, *  ""
Light (Red Label), Medium (Blue Label) and Heavy (Black Label)
and in 17 other weights and qualities to suit the requirements of
every man and woman. 0

lie taken as a strong evidence of guilt.
But no such conclusion could be founded on the act of an Indian with no
such line moral perceptions.
The prisoner apparently bore a good
character, his lordship said, and there
was no reason to doubt the story of the
accused paying money to get his friend
out of trouble. The demeanor ot the
prisoner in the witness box was a factor which could properly be taken Into
account, and it often was of great
weight with Juries.
It was also within the competence ot
the Jury to bring ln a verdict of manslaughter with a recommendation for
mercy, and a recommendation to that
effect from the jury always received
great consideration from the judge.
He committed the case to their
hands.

ONE   VACANCY   FILLED
Premier McBrlde has filled one of
the vacancies in his cabinet by the appointment of Mr. Price Ellison, who
has.represented Okanagan in the legislature since 1898, lo the position of
minister of lands. The appointment
will he generally approved, for Mr.
Ellison is one or the oldest members
of the house, and has shown himself
one of tlie ablest and strongest of the
government's supporters.
During the Ume he has been a member of the house Mr. Ellison has taken
u particular interest In all matters affecting Irrigation, a question of the
greatest importance in many parts of
British Columbia. As minister ol lands
Mr. Ellison will be directly In charge
of everything relating to irrigation and
he will thus be In a position to carry
into effect some of the progressive
ideas to which he has so often given
voice. Mr. McBrlde is, indeed, fortunate in securing Mr. Ellison's services
us minister of lands, and Mr. Ellison is
io be congratulated on the honor which
has been done him by his leader.   ,
Mr. Ellison's appointment leaves one
other vacancy in tlie cabinet, which,
however, may not he filled until after
the election. There need, however, be
no uneasiness in the public mind over
tills, for Mr. McBride can be counted
on to display the same good Judgment
In regard to this second appointment
as lie lias over that of Mr. Ellison.
POSTOFFICE   ENLARGEMENT
Tbe announcement that the local
postofflce Is to be enlarged is one that
should be received with a good deal of
satisfaction by the people of Neison.
Just six years ago the present ofllce
was opened, and at that time It was
generally thought that it would be
large enough to serve the city and tlie
large district for which this is the mall
distributing centre for many years to
come. The growth of the city und of
the district, however, has been very
much more rapid than was expected,
and tlie result is that the enlargement
or the postofflce building, already by
all odds tlie best in the interior of the
province, has become an absolute
necessity.
No better tribute to the growing Importance of Nelson than tills could be
desired and the manner in which the
postofflce department has taken up the
question of meeting the situation will
meet with general commendation. If
the government sees eye to eye In regard to the matter with its chief
superintendent of postofflces, Mr.
George Ross, who has Just concluded a
visit of Inspection here, work on the
addition to the present postofflce building will, within a comparatively short
time, be under way. When the work
has been completed Nelson will have
a postofflce capable of handling the
large amount of mall now passing
through daily, not only for tiie people
of the city but also for those of the
rapidly developing district which surrounds it.
THANKSGIVING DAY
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day and,
if the people of Canada properly appreciate the many blessings which a
beneficent providence has bestowed
upon them during the past year, tbe
day should be observed with peans of
praise from one end nf the dominion
to the other. Everywhere has there
been bountiful harvests und prosperity
lias smiled on all lines of industry,
while disaster and snrioi|g disturbances
such as have visited other countries
have been unknown.
From a material standpoint the year
leaves little to be desired. But in returning thanks for what bas been
vouchsafed them along these lines,
the people of Canada would do well to
remember that neither their well-being
nor that of tlie country depends entirely upon material progress. There are
other things of more moment both to
them and to the country. Their chief
desire should not be the accumulation
of the wealth, but to make of Canada
a country to which th*- world can point
as an example of right living. Toward
tills end every resident of Canada can
contribute by hia personal example,
and should do so.
EDITORIAL NOTES
McBride and immediate railway construction.
Every man who is interested in the
development of British Columbia
should vote for and work for the return to power of Premier McBride.
Premier McBrlde is goinn to sweep
the province, but that is no reason why
the conservatives of any riding should
lose the seat through lack ot effort
due to overconildenco.
KILLED BY EXPLOSION
C.  P.   R.  OFFICIAL   MEETS  AN   UNEXPECTED  DEATH
PIPE    IN    BOILER    AT     CHATEAU
FRONTENAC BURSTS
QUEBEC, Oct. ,23.—A terrible accident occurred last evening at the
Ciiateau Frontenac by which Edward
Laurie of Montreal was killed and four
other men were severely injured, one
having his leg broken and the others
being scalded by escaping steam. The
accident was caused by the bursting
of a "T" Joint between two tubular
boilers, which are being installed in
tho engine room under the new wing
to the Chateau Frontenac and which
are designed to run the electric plant
and to heat the building. Tlie casualties are:
Dead—Edward Laurie of the mechanical department at tlie Angus shops,
Montreal.
injured—G. McDermott, Joseph Mc*
Muster, T. J. Hutton and another man,
whose name has not been secured, all
of Montreal.
The accident occurred at 5:30 last
evening, at which time eight or ten
men were working around the boilers,
which are being Installed by tbe Canada Foundry company of Montreal.
The work of installing the electric
machinery was nearly complete, and
it Is stated that tbe boilers were working at a pressure of 115 pounds and
running the dynamos In the engine
room. Without warning a large pipe
with a "T" Joint connecting the two
boilers burst. There was a terrible explosion and a rush of blinding steam
which blew those standing near the
boilers some distance away.
Mr. Laurie of the Angus shops, who
was looking after the engineering
work, was blown about 40 feet away,
sustaining a fractured skull, a broken
leg and other Injuries, besides being
terribly burned and scalded by escaping steam. He fell In the midst of the
steam, but was rescued by John Hayes
of Montreal, who. rushed to the scene
and succeeded tn getting him away, although he was badly burned while doing so. One of the other men was
struck by a piece of flying pipe and
had a leg broken, while Messrs. T. J.
Hatton, S. G. McDermott and John Mc-
Masters were knocked down and severely scalded by steam. The rest of
the men In the engine room apparently escaped without injury.

Eye strain, the most frequent source of waste nerve power, Is likewise
most sure of .prompt correction, If rightly treated. I have yet to encounter
a typical case of Bick headache that was not associated with eye strain. My
own experience bas proven how true this Is, My records show that thousands
having suffered for years from eye strain without knowing the cause, have
sought and found relief through my examination, which proved beyond the
possibility of a doubt that their eyes were the primary cause of all their
trouble and that a.direct relationship existed between their eyes and the
nervous.system, and that a cure was effected simply by correcting the errors
of refraction and muscles by means of glasses.

sure whether tt would he honored.
To Mr. Hall the accused said that he
had received a salary firom the relief
committee from Aug, 10. The understanding was that he was to give what
time he- could to the relief work. Ho
had given practically all his time to
the work while secretary.«
To the judge he said that he sold out
hts business In December and went
east on Jan. 2. He Intended to return
to Pernio at the time and had large
interests there.
He opened hooks for the relief committee as soon as hooks were obtainable. He had accounted for all money
received and his statement was O.K.'d
by the auditor. The books did not
show the amount turned over to Webb.
The cash Is shown as $10,135.28 In the
hook, hut the amount turned over to
Webb was $900 more than that. A
long examination followed regarding
this item. Mr. Lockhart contended
that the entry was correct, taken in
conjunction with the cash statement
handed to Webb, but now missing.
There would be no mistake in the
hooks If the adjusting entry had been
ninde when the Calgary draft was returned, which was after Webb had
control of the bonks. The total cash
turned over was not shown in the honks
■but *In the statement drawn tip whon
the hooks were transferred to Webb.
Without tills statement, he admitted
that the entry would he incorrect. This
$1)00 must have been stolen if it was
mot shown at tlie next audit. If the
statement were produced It would account for everything. He had no means
of getting hold of this statement nnd
he believed that Webb had recogniized
the importance of the statement. He
believed that there was now a shortage
of $(100.   This closed the defence.
Mr, Taylor addressing the jury contended that the cash book was absolutely correct and that no other entry
than those made by Lockhart could
possibly have been made under the system of bookkeeping ln force. The rough
cash book had one column only. The
second cash book had segregating
columns . In the donation column it
would have been impossible for Lockhart to have put any other sum than
$2600, the amount of the Calgary donation. It was impossible to enter the
$3500, the amount of the draft on that
column. Tlie adjustment should have
been made when the draft was returned.
The book does not show the cash on
hand. The prosecution contends that
$900 was taken from Items unaccounted
for. If this had heen done it was an
Intricate business. Yet Boulton testifies that Lockhart showed no hesitation in dictating the cash book entries
to htm. If Lockhart had stolen the
money he would bave written up the
cash book himself and alone Instead of
dictating to Boulton without hesitation.
Mr. Taylor thought that the crown
should have withdrawn the case when
It was discovered that the important
statement given to Webb had heen destroyed. Was It possible to convict a
man on half a set of books?
Webb and Shanley pretended not to
understand books, hut the change of
system they effected gave them an opportunity to steal the $900. Why did
Webb keep out a balance of $15.03
when he had no use for the money?
It was a suspicious circumstance. Lockhart swears that he handed over a
large roll of bills to Webb and Boulton
also says so. But these bills were not
deposited. What 'became of them?
Webb says he deposited everything. Tt
was impossible that Lockhart took the
money. There was something for the
other    side to explain.    The   telltale
We Ate Just In Receipt of Advice That
Every Available Business Ptope*ty ot Site
in New Westminster has changed Hands at a big advance in price during Hie last two weeks, thaj; there
ls oot a vacant store, ottice or residence in the city and that large tracts ot land are being boufeiu 101
manufacturing purposes.
Two years ago we advised our clients to buy ln New Westminster. There has been a steady advance
since that date, but property is still much lower than It should be.
No other city tn Canada of similar size has anything like New Westminster's je=Pn™«s, or future
prospects; we doubt if there Is any other city In America to compare with her as a Held [or mvesimeni.
New Westminster stands In the gateway to the ninety millions of the United States. The Canadian
Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific coming down the south bank of the Waser places her in tne same
position as regards the Kootenays, the Northwest provinces, the Peace river, Mackenzie ana tne iukoii,
soon to be opened by railways and populated by millions of the world's best citizens.
What other city with, a population of 14,000 has three great transcontinental railway systems and five
others declaring their Intention to build?
With a great fresh water seaport open every day In the year.
/    With a million dollar bridge and a million more being spent on river Improvements.
With five millions being spent on a syBtem of electric railways all laid out to converge at this point.
With over seventy-fiVe manufacturing plants and a payroll monthly) of nearly  two hundred thoue»nd
dollars.
-   With a sawmill which made the largest cut ever made In the world in one day.
With four hundred thousand acres of valley land where roses bloom in January and the grass ls green
every day in the year, estimated to be capable of supporting two million people In comrort.
With the finest salmon fishing river in the world.
With the largest areas of fir and cedar timber on the Fraser and ltB tributaries, the Pitt, Llllooet,
Ruby, Harrison, Coqultlam, etc.
With such superior advantages for manufacturing that she captures all the big plants In competition
with Vancouver and Victoria.
We predict that when the Western Power company's plant on which they are expending two -mill on
dollars Is completed with its central distributing station at Burnaby lake, and the _Mrmi. Angtaaotua
construction that the greatest and most rapid advance in values ever seen In Canada will taae piace. lteai
estate Is still far too low.   Now is the time to buy.
Within three-quarters of a mile ot the center of the city, towards Vancouver, surrounded J(*m
car lines and manufacturing plants we are offtering fine level lots, good soil, flne view, 33x160 leet for only
$200; »20 down and »10 per month. Next month they will be 1250. All it needs ls a little nerve. Put your
dollars to work.

statement had been made away with.
It was significant that Shanley kept
quiet about that $000 shortage until
E. B. McDermid enquired into his
books and there was public complaint
about the way he aud Webb were managing Ihe funds.
Mr. Taylor then severely criticized
Shanley describing him as a renegade
and as a self-confessed criminal. He
admitted that he had made up his accounts partly by guess.
If Lockhart cashed the Lamb check
then it was Webb or Shanley that stole
the money. Tlie jury hud heard the evidence regarding this check and he left
It to them to'say who was telling the
truth. The Calgary draft bad offered
a temptation to steal the money by
making away with the cash statement
aad Shanley was the man who had pro-
fitted by the opportunity.
Mr. Manson in his evidence had declared that there was nothing to show
that Lockhart had stolen the money.
This alone should be sufficient to secure an acquittal.
Mr. Taylor urged the jury to compare
the characters of the accused and his
accusers. Would a man In Lockhart's
position dare to steal what was plainly
shown in the books. The crown contended that he entered everything ln
his books and stole from items entered.
It was incredible, especially as under
the circumstances existing after the
fire there was plenty of other methods
by which he might have stolen without
fear of detection.
H. C. Hall addressing jury for the
prosecution said that the time under
consideration was from August In the
end of September. At tbe end of tbe
month tbe balance wns wrong. The fig-
tire Is $900 less than the amount that
should have been turned over. When
the Calgary draft was returned Webb
did not know what to do with it and
went to the auditor to ask him. Was
that the conduct of a guilty man? It
tended to prove Webb's bona fides. Tbe
theft lay between Lockhart and Webb.
Bid Webb try and steal from the beginning? Tf there had been handed
over to Webb $900 more than the books
showed would not the auditor have noticed It? Tbe other Items were chiefly
a matter of vouchers. It was possible
fnr Lockhart to have stolen the money.
The good faith of Webb was also shown
by his action toward the error of $10 in
Lockhart's addition. It showed that
he intended to keep his books straight.
Tbe missing document might he explained by the fact that It was found
to correspond with the total in the cash
book and that then there was no further use in keeping the document.
Boulton was present when the money
was turned over. Would Webb have
gone to Boulton afterwards if he bad
stolen the money? The Carlisle check
had been cashed but was not accounted
for.
Mr. justice Clement summed un
briefly. He said that the question did
not lie between Webb and Lockhart.
Certain facts came to the notice of the
crown and an investigation had been
thought proper. Often the crown found
It necessary to use disreputable witnesses, although he did not sav that
It. was so in this case. This did not
■necessarily discredit the whole case.
It was for the jury to sift ouf the truth
for themselves. In one way the ease
was between two men, for $900 had
been Btolen. Lockhart started Webb
off with an entry showing a certain
cash balance. He said that he turned
over $900 more than this Item showed.
If he did not turn over what he says
he did, he stole the money. If he did
turn ifr over, then Tfrebb stole the
money.
The judge said that he would not go
Into the details of the case. If was not
for him to Influence the jury. The
case rested on whether Lockhart hnd
turned the $900 over to Webb or not.
If they thought he had done so they
must' acquit htm and convict Webb.
But they must remember that Webb
was not on trial. If they convicted
Lockhart they must say that the evidence was sufficient to convince them
of his guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
If the theft bad been committed it
had been done when the money was
turned over. As to intent It was possible that the accused might have been
Innocent of Intentional wrongdoing at
the time and formed a guilty Idea later.
Lockhart must be assumed Innocent
until proved guilty beyond doubt.

EDMONTON, Oct. 23—John H.
Welch of Vegreville, connected with
the Mnssey-Harris company agency
there, and charged with circulating a
defamatory libel concerning two respectable citizens of Vegreville, was tried
before chief justice Sifton and the
crown proved conclusively that the accused was the author of the libel complained of and that it was published
hy him. A lrfffee number of postcards
and letters of distinctly libellous character were put in evidence and proved
to be written and published by the accused. The prisoner was found guilty
and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. In passing sentence the
judge commented on the serious nature
of tiie offence nnd the meanness of the
man who would attempt to injure the
diameter of Innocent people. Even if
ihere had heen some foundation for the
statements that were made on the postcards there would be no justification
for the mean and cowardly act of the
prisoner, it Ib believed that jealousy
and malice were the motives that actuated the prisoner in nils action.

Passes to Great Beyond
Hugh Stevens, formerly of Nelson,
but recently of Arrowhead, died at the
latter town on Friday, after an illness
of two months. Recently he underwent
an operation for tbe malady that
eventually caused his death.
The late Mr. Stevens was well known
in Nelson. In 1901 he conducted the'
Waverley boarding and rooming house
adjoining the opera house, on Victoria
Btreet. Later he took the position of
steward on the C.P.R. boats on the
British Columbia interior service, and
was continuously employed in that capacity on the Arrow, Slocan and Kootenay lakes, up to the time of his Illness. He is survived by his wife, residing at Arrowhead, and by one son, residing at Boston.
The body was brought to Nelson on
last night's train and was taken in
charge by tbe Standard Furniture company. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at St. Saviour's
church. The Masons will have charge
of the arrangements. AM local Masons
are requested to report at the Masonic
ball at 2 o'clock and the local Knights
of Pythias are requested to be at their
hall at the same hour.
Want Prince's Renunciation
ATHENS, Oct. 23.—The extreme sec*
tlon of the military league, tearing that
should Crown Prince Constantino succeed to the throne of Greece, he would
be revenged on them for hts present
humiliations, now demand his renunciation ot the rights of succession in
