DIAN8 CAN GET LIQUOR\n\"Not guilty; acquitted on ground of\nself-defence.\"\nTho above were the termB of the\nvery positive verdict rendered by the\nJury ln the Kootenay murder trial last\nnight, and by virtue of which Frank,\nan Indian of the Kootenay tribe, alter\ntwo trials extending over four days,\ntoday walks the trail a free man. The\nverdict was rendered at 8:16 o'clock\nlast night as the conclusion of the second trial, which consumed two days,\nIncluding evening sittings.\nThe scene was impressive, but the\nsentiment in the crowded court room\nrather expected acquittal, or, ot moBt,\nmanslaughter with a recommendation\nfor mercy, and the seriousness that\nusually broods over a court room on\nsuch an occasion was by no means intense. This expectation was partly\nbased on the attitude of the crown and\nof his lordship. The demeanpr of the\nprisoner was the same as during the\ntrial, and he and the Jury were equally the object of the gaze of the crowd\nwhen the 12 men filed to their seats.\nSome ot the Jurymen were observed to\nsmile faintly, an obvious signal that\nthe verdict was not guilty. Then Alexander Carrie, foreman of the Jury, announced the verdict as given above.\n\"My lord,\" he added, \"we have attached the following rider to our verdict: We, the Jury, In bringing in a\nverdict of acquittal, wish unanimously\nto condemn the laxity ot the method of\nenforcing the regulations which makes\nit so notoriously easy for Indians to\nobtain liquor.\"\nChief Justice Hunter, addressing the\njury, said:\n\"Gentlemen of the Jury, with regard\nto the rider you have attached to your\nverdict I may say that I am ln thorough accord with the views you have\nexpressed. And I am willing to do all\nI can to secure a change In the law.\nThe penalty for selling liquor to Indians should be imprisonment without\nthe option of a fine. There Is no doubt\nthat the unfortunate Baptiste met his\ndeath through the Chinaman's action\nln selling him liquor.\n\"Mr. Interpreter, you nppear to have\na wide acquaintance among tho Indians of this district, and I wish you\n. would tell them that being drunk ls no\nexcuse for the commission of a crime.\nTell them that .any Indian that drinks\nliquor runs large risk of ending his\nlite on the gallows or ln the penitentiary. The wise Indian, if offered\nliquor by either a Chinaman or a white\nman, will at once inform tlie police.\"\nHis lordship directed the interpreter\nto Inform Kootenay that the crown\nstill had the power to Indict him for\nthe mutilation of the dead body and\nalso for the theft of the dead man's\nmoney.        v\nA. M. Johnson, counsel for the de\nfence, then moved tor the discharge of\nthe prisoner and his lordship discharged him. The discharge of the\nJury followed.\n\u2022 The trial of Frank Kootenay for the\nmurder of Antoine Baptiste, a young\nIndian, to whom he had almost been\nln the relation of an uncle, at GraBsy\nPoint, on Aug. 16 laBt, was begun on\nWednesday morning and 11 witnesses\nfor the crown were examined. Thursday morning the Jury was discharged\nbecause three Jurymen had been separated from their companions the night\nbefore. A. new panel was ordered and\nthe trial was negun afresh on Friday\nmorning, terminating last night in acquittal. One ot the features of the\ncase was the existence of four statements, made to as many persons, hy\nFrank, the admissibility of which as\nevidence was stoutly and successfully\nresisted by the defence. On the first\ntrial the chief Justice ruled out the\nstatements made by Frank to Constable Devltt on Aug. 20, at the time\nof his arrest, to Capt. Fraser ot tho\nsteamer Kootenay on Aug. 21, and to\nCoroner Rose on Aug. 29, It being held\nthat the statements were not made by\nthe Indian with a knowledge Ot the\nprotection the law afforded him. At\nthe second trial, by agreement between\nR. S. Lennie, crown proseoutor, Mr.\nJohnson and his lordship, the conclusions arrived at on these points at the\nfirst trial were conceded.\nThe admissibility of the fourth state-\nment, which was the one made hy\nFrank at his preliminary hearing before Magistrate Jordan of Nakusp, on\nAug, 31 or Sept, 1, was argued at the\nopening of the sitting yesterday morning. The crown placed Magistrate Jordan on the stand, and while he swore\nthat he gave the Indian the proper eau*\ntlon ln English, and also explained' It\nto him in broken English, he would not\nswear that the Indian knew the Import\nof the words. He said he got Mr. Fauquier also to explain the caution   to\nFrank in broken English and ln Chinook. Frank was not sworn and he\nwas not provided with an Interpreter.\nMr. Fauquier waa also placed on the\nstand, and It developed that all the\nChinook he had mastered tor Frank's\nbenefit was one word, which signifies\n\"understand.\" * Ift response to this\nword Frank had nodded his head.\n.'.ir. Johnson objected to the admission of this statement on three\ngrounds, but his lordship stopped him\nin the middle of his argument, saying\nit was not necessary to go further with\nit, as he was not at all convinced that\nthe prisoner had understood the situation. \"It Is little short of a farce,\" said\nhis lordship, \"to read over that rigmarole ln English to the Indian. For the\npurpose of obtaining justice the examination might just as well have been\nconducted ln Chinese.\" his lordship\nthen ruled out the fourth statement.\nThis concluded the crown's case, and\nMr. Johnson, for the defence, called\nFrank himself. The prisoner was the\nonly witness called by the defence and\nhis examination was not concluded tilt\n4 o'clock in the afternoon.\n(Continued on Page Two.)\nGRANBY ORE SHIPMENTS\nWEEK'S    TONNAGE     IS     RECORD-\nBREAKING SHIPMENT\nWAGES DIFFICULTY SETTLED AND\nMINES WILL RESUME\n(Special to The Dally News.)\nPHOEiMX, Ott, __,\u2014Tim ore augments\nfrom me Uiunuy minus ut viioua.x tn-a\nweek iimomut-d to 2i,oi. ions ot cu. .n-.r-\nKOld ore. exceeding lust week a output oy\nu,0jO tons, una rimstituu-H u record lor a\nweek's tonnage from the big producer.

Lockhart, the accused, was the recipient of warm congratulations from\nmany of those present in the court\nroom, who shook him by the hand and\nexpressed their pleasure at the result\nof the trial.\nIt was nearly 6:80 when the evidence was all In, and Justice Clement\nthen told tlie jury that they might go\nhome, but were to return to consider\ntheir verdict, which he would be ready\nto receive at il o'clock. Promptly at\nthe hour the jury was polled, the judge\ntook his seal, and the verdict was recorded.\n\"Let me give you a word of advice,\nMr. Lockhart,\" said the judge in releasing the accused, \"not to turn over\nany large sums of money in the future\nwithout taking a receipt.\"\n\"Thank you, my lord,\" responded\nMr. Lockhart,\nH, U. Hall and W. P. Thompson appeared for the crown and S. S. Taylor\nand A. I. Fisher tor the defence.\nThe first witness at the morning session was George H. Boulton, who audited tie books at the time they were\npassed over to Webb by Lo khart, on\nor about Sept. 10. He said the entry\nin his handwriting and \"O.K.'d\" by htm,\n$11,142.28, represented the difference\nbetween the debit nnd credit sides of\nthe cash, it was In fact the cash balance of the Items on that page of the\ncash book. He was present when Lockhart handed over the\" cash to Webb.\nHe helped Webb with the 'books an\nWebb knew little about-bookkeeping.\nIn tho matter of the Calgary draft ofi\n$3500, and the Calgary check of $2600,\nhe said, In reply to Mr. Hall, that if\nthe $2600 did represent the Calgary\ndraft of $3500, the entry made on account of the check should have been\n$3500.\nOn cross examination by Mr. Taylor\nthe wilness admitted that the entry of\n$2600\"inade by Lockhart for the check\nwas accurate and that such an entry\n-would have to be made In the cash\nbook and In that place. Also, Lockhart\ncould not charge hack the $3500 draft\nuntil it was returned to him and it was\nnot returned until Sept. 25y when Webb\nhad charge of the books. A correcting\nentry of $000 should have been made\nat the end of September.   \u25a0\nWhen Lockhart called out. the figures when he and the witness were\nmaking out the balance sheet, Lockhart\nwas not hesitant and did not appear to\nbe figuring in his head. He admitted\nit would have taken an immense\namount of figuring to cover a theft of\n$1)00. \"But I do not think he stole It,\"\nthe witness added.\nThe witness was extremely positive\nabout the balance sheet which they had\nmade out, and which the witness. Webb\nhad not remembered. The balance\nsheet showed the names on every\ncheck in the cash turned over, the details of the bills and the sums in silver and gold. He had not seen the\nbalance sheet since It was turned over\nto Wehh. In reply to Mr. Taylor he\ncould not account for Webb swearing\nthat lie deposited all the cash he had\nreceived from Lockhart except petty\ncash of $15,03, with the coincident fact\nthat the deposit slip showed thnt Webb\ndeposited only three $1 bills and twelve\n$5 bills, among the rest. The cash\ntunned over had a number of $20 and\n$10 <bllls. He thought Webb v\/ns mistaken in snylng he had deposited all.\nThe afternoon session was made particularly Interesting by the evidence of\nthe prisoner, hy the addresses of th\u00a9\ncounsel for the prosecution and defence and by the summing up of Mr.\njustice Clement. It was nearly S:'30\nwhen the case went to the Jury, who\nwere Instructed to report in court nt\n9 o'clock. This they did a moment or\nso after that hour, having arrived at\nan immediate decision in favor of acquittal.\nB. F. Ambery. who took over the secretaryship of the relief committee after Webb' i resignation, gave evidence\nas to the circumstances. No audit had\nheen made immediately before he took\nover the books.\nA. T.iFlsher, solicitor for the accused,\nspoke of having gone to Mary Lamb\nwhile the preliminary hearing was in\nprogress and having enquired as to the\ncircumstances attending the cashing of\nher check for salary. She told him\nthat the check had been cashed by\n\u2014\nNO. 161\nLockhart.   If she denied the fact now\nshe was telling an untruth.\nJ. H. Williams, an accountant of Calgary, was the next witness. He gave\nconsiderable expert testimony relating\nto the hooks under examination. He\nhad been employed by Lockhart to go\nover the books up to the end of September. He found several items on the\ndeposit slips not entered in the cash\nbooks, amounting to $413,05, which corresponded with the total of Webb's\ncash sales. Items on the cash book\nwere also not found separately on the\ndeposit slips. There was nothing in\nthe books to show how much had been\ntransferred by Lockhart to Webb. This\namount was most important as it fixed\nthe responsibility for the shortage.\nThere was nothing to show that Lockhart took one cent. If the stealing had\nbeen done by Lockhart it would have\nhad to be done from the unidentified\nitems -for which he had given receipts\nto Webb. To make the amount he\nwould have had to steal all the unidentified items and more besides.\nTo Mr. Hall he admitted that he\ncould not say that Lockhart had not\ntaken these Items. It would have been\npossible for him to take them. Personally when handing over the money to\nWebb he would have taken a receipt.\n\u25a0but this would not be tbe usual procedure. He was not a chartered accountant but he had been tn business for\nhimself as auditor for two years and\nhad worked on books for 11 years.\nHerbert G. Lockhart, the prisoner,\nwas then called to the witness box by\nthe defence. He said that he had lived\nin Fernle for seven years. He had\nworked in the office of the Trites-Wood\ncompany for four years and had been\nIn business for himself for about a\nyear. After be gave up the secretaryship of the relief committee he returned to bis own business. He was made\nsecretary of the relief committee on\nAug. 2. He would have been glad to\nhave been bonded and would have\nsuggested It if he had thought the position was permanent. After he told the\ncommittee that he wanted to get back\nto liis own business, he suggested that\nthe secretary should be bonded. The\nsuggestion that he should be bonded\nhad never been made to him,\nMr. Lockhart then related the circumstances under which the relief work\nwas carried out immediately after the\nfire. He looked after ordering supplies\nand kept the accounts and was kept\nbusy from 8 In the morning to 2 or 3\nat night. He hnd at first no desk or\nsafe or office. He only made two do-\nposits.\nThe cash book was written up about\nSept. 5 in the new office. Mr. Boulton\ndid the wrfting from his dictation from\nthe casli sheets and deposit slips.\nWhen tbe Calgary donation of| $2000\nwas entered he had received the check.\nWhen the draft was made $3500 was\nentered on the deposit slip. In the\nWoodstock case $200 had heen entered\nin the cash book, The draft had been\nmade fnr $2000, In this case also he\nknow the correct amount when the entry was made in the easli book. Tn\nthis case he pnt through the correcting\nHem at the end of August. On the balance sheet, he made a note of the $3500\ndraft and loft it with the secretary.\nBoulton, Webb and himself were present when the cash book was entered.\nHe made entries In the cash book immediately after Webb took office, when\nhelping Webb to start the 'books. Shanley was continually around the office,\nwhen he made sales of goods he turned the money over to Webb and Webb\nturned it over to hlni. Webb was then\nacting for tlie supply committee. Whenever he received cash from Webb lie\ngave him receipts. He had never received the $250 that Webb said he turned over to him and for which he had\nno receipt.\nWhen turning over the cash to Webb\nBoulton checked the items and the\nsheet was left in Webb's possession.\nThat was the last he saw oft it. This\nbalance sheet and the supply books,\nshowing cash sales, were discovered\nto be missing arter bis arrest. When\nlie saw B, B, McDermid's report reflecting upon the absenae of the supply\nbooks, he spoke to Shanley and asked\nhim where the supply books were.\nShanley replied that they were in the\nhack office but thnt he was not going\nto act as detective for McDermid and\nget the books for him. Afterwards he\nand Mr. Williams asked Shanley for\nthe books and he told them to see\nWebb. He afterwards said he had\nnever seen any supply books although\nhe had previously said they were in\nthe back office. Webb had never deposited all the cash received from him.\nIn the amount turned over to Webb\nthere was at least $500 In currency and\nprobably $600 to $800. including a number of $20 bills. The deposit slips\nshowed that these bad never been deposited by Webb.\nMr. Lockhart described the circumstances under which he alleged that\nhe had cashed tbe Lane check for Mrs.\nLane, and nlso the check for Mary\nLamb. Webb made out the check for\nMary Lamb and he made out Ihe voucher. At the preliminary hearing Webb\nsaid he did not know who cashed the\ncheck. Fisher and he saw Miss Lamb\nduring the preliminary hearing and she\nthen said that she remembered that\nhe had given her the cash for the check\nand that she remembered the circumstances.\nThe accused also gave the particulars regarding tlie C.P.R., the Daly and\nthe Carlisle cases. In the Carlisle\" case\nShanley had sold plumber's supplies\namounting to $122,53 to Carlisle. He\ntold Shanley to collect the money and\nShanley got a check for the amount.\nHe sent him over to the bank immediately with the check as he wns not\n(Continued On Page Five.)\nLocal Building Is To Be\nEnlarged\nRECOMMENDATION  MADE\nGEORGE ROSS, CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DEPART-\nMENT, FINDS THAT ADDITIONAL ROOM IS NECESSARY FOR\nINCREASED BUSINESS HERE\nThe Nelson postofflce is to be enlarged in tbe near future. Announcement to this effect was made yesterday\nafter an inspection of the present building by George Ross of Toronto, chief\nsuperintendent of postoffices for Canada, and J. R. Greenfield, superintendent of the service in this province.\nJ. A. Gibson, the postmaster, has been\nurging an enlargement of the building\nfor the past couple of years and the\nmatter has come before the officials oP\nthe department at various times. On\na visit of Inspection here which he has\njust concluded, Mr. Ross went carefully\ninto the whole matter and decided that\nan enlargement of the present building\nwas absolutely necessary and will make\na recommendation to the government\nto this effect. The erection of another\nwing will follow without delay, it is\nexpected.\nThe proposed new wing will be 30\nfeet by 27 Beet in size and will lie erected in the rear of the present building,\ntaking up some of the space now used\nas a yard. It will be of marble and\nbrick in keeping with tlie present building and will have a full basement for\nstorage purposes.\nThe erection of tbe new wing will\ngive increased room in tlie sorting room\nwhere the need of extra accommodation\nhas been severely felt for a long time\npast. The present mail rack will bo\ngreatly extended and tlie facilities for\nhandling the mail for the districts served from the postofflce thus greatly increased. Additional accommodation for\nthe public is also to be provided. A\nnumber of new drawers will be put in,\nbut more important, the stamp vending\nregistered letter and parcel departments will be greatly extended. Tho\nspace at present available for these departments has been found lo be wholly\ninadequate, especially about the Christmas season.\nThe present postofflce was completed\nin 1903, l>etng occupied for the first\ntime in September of that year. At\nthe time tlie postofflce officials as well\nas the general public thought that it\nwould provide all the accommodation\nrequired for a good many years to come.\nAll were mistaken, however. The development haa been much more rapid\nthan was expected, so that for the past\ntwo years the postofflce staff bas been\nworking under most unfavorable conditions due to the luck of proper room.\nThe new addition will provide all the\nroom required for the present and It is\nexpected, for some time to come, although history may repeat itself.\nLIMBERGER  FOR  CANCER\nChemist Says Strong-Smelling Cheese\nWill Cure Disease\nDENVER, Col., Oct. 23.\u2014Limborger\ncheese as the principal ingredient ol a\ncancer cure Is the announcement of\nPhilip Schuch, Jr\u201e a local chemist.\nFollowing the death of his mother, 11\nyears ago, from cancel', Schuch begun\nan Investigation of the cause and\ngrowth of cancer, during which lie asserts that he discovered that the basic\ngerms of cancer are similar to those\nof leprosy and consumption.

Fifteen years ago\nhe lived at Kettle lake and since that\ntime at Arrow lake. During the last\n15 years he was engaged in hunting,\nand was also working with the white\npeople. Previously he was at the mission. Usually he worked about half\nthe year and then went hunting. He\ndid not hunt all the time In any six\nmonths. In the 15 years he killed one\nor two bears and some deer every year.\nThe witness said he had known the\ndeceased, Antoine Baptiste, ever since\nthe latter was three feet tall. He saw\nhim some every year, but a few nvonths\nat a time Antoine would go home to\nhis father. He and Antoine had been\ntogether very much the last four ypars\nand had worked together for Mr. Fauquier.\nOn the morning of Aug. 15 last the\nwitness got up at 7:30 and Antoine\nabout 8 o'clock. After he got breakfast he told Antoine to get up, About\nft o'clock they went to the road, the\nwitness taking a gun In order to hunt\nand Antoine also taking a little gun\nhe had, .25 calibre. Fra-nk's gun was a\nbig one.\nA rifle was shown tn the witness,\nwhich he identlBled as his own.\nThe witnesss said the two of thorn\nwent hunting as planned but did not\nget anything, and after they had gone\na mile and a half on ihe road, they\ncame hack. When they appeared on\nthe trail leading to tlie house Mr. Fauquier called Antoine and they b-Mh\nwent. After they came back the witness went to the Chinaman's bouse.\nLater Antoine also went to the Chinaman's house and the Chinaman said:\n\"Come here and I will tell you something.\" He also said to them: \"Come.\nand I will get you something to eat.\"\nThey then ate a meal. Antoine then\nsaid: \"Did the liquor come?\" The\nChinaman, who had heen sitting looking at them while they ate, did not\nreply, but he went under and got two\nbpttles, with liquor In them. One bottle was opened hy the Chinaman and\nthe witness then knew tt was rye\nwhiskey., The Chinaman said: \"I have\nwritten and I have six bottles,\" but\nsaid nothing further. Antoine said:\n\"If it is good I will take it; if It is not\ngood T will not take it.\" Antoine drank\nand then gave the witness the bottle\nand told him to drink to see if It wan\ngood. He drank a little. A bottle was\nproduced in court, a quart bottle, with\nan orange label, printed In Chinese.\nThe witnesB said the bottle of the Chinaman was just that size. \u25a0\nAfter they had both drunk, the witness continued, Antoine said: \"I am\ngoing to buy It,\" and paid $1.50 for two\nbottles, the \u25a0 money being a dollar in\nsilver and two quarters.\nAfter this episode, the two Indians\nwent to their own house, opened the\nbottle again, and drank some more.\nAntoine then found a small bottle and\nfilled It from the big one, and the witness took it to his tent. He did not\ntake tho half bottle with htm on the\ntrip   later.   He then returned to   An*\ntoine's house and they lay down for\na while. After about an hour and a\nhalf Antoine said: \"Let us go to Burton City,\" and the witness replied:\n\"Well, let us go, and I will see my\nchildren.\" Antoine then said again:\n\"Let us go then, to Burton City.\" They\ngot Antoine's boat, which was a good\none, but leaked some. Tlie witness\nto:;k cartrlilges Brom the box and put\nthem in his pocket; bow many he did\nnot know. Antoine also took cartridges\nand put tiiem in his pocket.\nWhen they entered the boat, tPrank\nrowed first, but after a mile and a\nhalf Antoine said: \"I am going to row.\"\nThey both stood up and then passed\neach other, Antoine going faster than\nhe, and tlie shoulder of the witness\nhit Antoine, and the latter's hat fell\nInto the water. When they were seated, Antoine at the oars, Frank said:\n\"Your hat Is In the water.\" Antoine\nsaid: \"Well, let it be there. 1 have\na better one at home.\" With Antoine\nrowing, they passed Mr. Schlag's place.\nAntoine was rowing hard and the rowlock on tlie left side broke. Antoine\ntook off bis shirt, and tied tlie rowlock\nwith a piece of it. He did not tear the\nshirt, but used a part of it, tying the\noar to the side of the boat. They then\nwent on and arrrlved at. Grassy point.\nAt Grassy point both the Indians got\nout of the boat. There they saw a\nstake about 50 steps away and they\nboth shot at It. Antoine shot only\nonce at first, and gave his gun to\nFrank, who shot only a little. The gun\nwas in good order. Tlie witness then\nshot with his own gun and it was not In\ngood order, the bullet always going five\nor six inches from the mark. Antoine\nthen shot with Frank's gun. When they\nwere through Frank had only nine\nshells left He did not know haw many\nAntoine had left, but Antoine took\nshells out of his pocket and put them\nin his aun. The witness put five of\nhis shells in his gun, leaving four in\nhis pocket. Thus both guns were loaded. They then got into the boat again.\nLeaving Grassy Point, Antoine was\nrowing. His rifle was at the prow of\nthe boat and Frank's was lying alongside Antoine. About 200 steps from\nthere, they landed again. The witness\ndid not know what Antoine was wanting when he landed there. Antoine got\nout first and then said to Frank, who\nwas sitting in the boat, \"come out.\"\nFrank said: \"I feel a little sick.\" Antoine then repeated, \"come -here.\"\n\u2022Frank then stood up and went. Prank's\nrifle was left in the middle of the boat\nand Antoine's was still in the prow.\nThe witness stopped three steps from\nthe water's edge.\nMr. Johnson paid a great deal of attention to the position of the guns, believing that the Indian had reversed\nthem In his mind, but the witness was\npositive of what he had already said.\nIn answer to his lordship, the Indian\nsaid the boat wag bow on to the shore\nand about three feet away.\nAntoine stepped away and said: \"Do\nyou see me?\" The witness, replied: \"I\nsee you, and you are a good man.\"\nAntoine said again: \"Do you see me.\"\nto that Frank said: \"I have seen you\nfor a long time, and you are a good\nman.'' Antoine asked the question for\nthe third time and Frank again replied:\n\"I nave seen you a long time and you\nare always my friend.\" Antoine then\npicked up a large sized stone and two\nsmall ones and threw them at Frank.\nFrank bent, and they passed over htm.\nAfter Antoine threw the rocks he went\naway $6 the boat, got the gun and said:\n\"Her\u00a9 I am firing at you, and I kill.\"\nThe rifle Antoine took was his own\nrifle and not Frank's, and he took it\nfrom the bow.\nThe ensuing struggle was acted before th\u00a9 jury, the witness hox, with\nthe rifle sticking out of It, representing the boat, Mr. Johnson acting the\npart of Frank, the prisoner being in\nthe role of Antoine.   With Mr., Johnson\nabout five feet from tlie prisoner, the\nlatter, as Antoine, turned violently toward   the witness box, -dragged   the\nrifle out by the barrel, cocking it as\nhe swung it around toward Mr. Johnson.   A change of roles was then effected, Mr. Johnson becoming Antoine\nholding the rifle In a threatening posture and Frank acting his own part.\nThe Indian, as Mr. Johnson swung the\nriflle    around,    leaped    forward    and\ngrasped it, the right hand on the barrel and the left hand on the small of\nthe butt.   He struggled for two minutes and then twisted the stock up and\nthe muzzle down, jumping back as Mr.\nJohnson    released his hold.    As    he\njumped back Frank clubbed the rifle\nover his shoulder and started to swing\nIt toward his counsel's neck.   Mr. Johnson winced perceptibly and for the first\ntime since the prisoner was first arraigned there was hilarity in the court.\nThe pantomlne stopped here, and the\nwitness stated that the rifle hit Antoine on the back of the neck, and the\nlatter fell to uie ground, and lay still,\nHe thought the blow came from .tha\nround  part of the lock of the rifle,\nWhen the fallen Indian lay motionless, the witness supposed he had been\nstunned by the blow.   He felt of the\nbody and found the heart still, nnd the\nbody rapidly growing cold, the stretched out arms becoming stiff*.    Greatly\nalarmed he got into the boat and contemplated the corpse of his friend for\nabout 30 minutes.    Both Indians had\ntaken off their shoes and socks while\nIn  the boat and  were in their have\nfeet at the time of the fatal struggle.\nA watch was shown to the Indian,\nand he showed how the hands were at\nthe Ume they went ashore, and again\nat the time he decided on a course of\naction.   The latter time was 3:45.\nMr. Johnson here asked that the witness be allowed to state what his reflections were when he found he had\nkilled Antoine, though it would not he\nevidence. On this understanding, the\nwitness said that when he found Antoine was really dead, he said to himself: \"Well, my friend, you are dead.\nYou like to drink and you try to kill\nyour friend. You do not know what\nhas happened and I do not know what\nhas happened.\"\nIt was then he got Into his boat.\nLater he said to himself: \"I will bring\nthe body to the water.\" He did this\nin order that no one should sek what\nhad been done, at this time. He was\nvery sorry, for he had not been angry\nat the man that was dead. He looked\nfor rocks and faund a lante one. and\nnlaced it in th<\u00bb boat. He took the\nbody and stretched it on the ground.\nHe felt in the dead man's pockets and\nfound some money, nnd transferred it\nto h's own pocket. When he arrived at\nAlec's house he found thnt he had\ntaken $sn, it was four pieces of paper\nnf %?.0 ench. Asked by Mr. Johnson\nwhy he took the money, he said he had\nbeep drinking and he thought he would\ntake care o,f it himself.\nTaking a rope about three feet long\nthe witness tied one end to the wrist of\nthe dead man and the other end to the\nboat. He was not,sure which wrist it\nwas, but lie thought It was the left one.\nHe stopped 150 yards from the shore\nand untied the rope from the boat\namd tied the rock with It. The body\nwould not go down and he raised tbe\nshirt, and cut the body on the stomach\nwith one downward cut. about four\ninches long. The bodv was clothed In\ntrousers, shirt and tinder trousers. The\ntrousers were buttoned.\nAfter the noon recess, the examination of .the prisoner was continued. In\nanswer to Mr, Johnson, the prisoner\nsaid he was near to Antoine when he\nstruck the latter. When he wrested the\ngun from Antoine, the latter fell on\nhis hands and then rose and said: \"I'll !\nkill you, I'll kill you.\" When Antoine\nsaid this, his eyes were very bad and\nthrust himself in a fighting position toward Frank. His face also flushed as\nred as the color of the witness box. The\nboat was about four steps away from\nthe scene of the struggle.\nTying the rope to the dead man's\nwrist, he towed the body 15.0 yards\nout into the lake and then time on the\nrock and threw the rock Into the lake.\nThe body did not sink and he then pulled up the shirt from the stomach and\nmade a cut in the body so it would sink.\nHe put the body into the water so no\none would see it. It hurt him to see\nhis friend for a long time, so he put\nhtm into the water. Later he threw An-\ntatne's rifle into the water.\nRowing up the lake, tlie prisoner got\nout at the point below Burton (Cariboo)\nHe had half a bottle of whsleky then.\nHe and Antoine had drunk perhaps 10\ntimes, perhaps 20 times, not counting\nthe drinks In the Chinaman's cabin.\nAntoine had the bottle and always\ndrank first. The prisoner drank after\nAntoine each time and as often as Antoine did He drank no whiskey after\nlowering the body of Antoine into the\nwater, and when he arrived at Burton\nhe was sober. The leaky boat was responsible for the bills he had taken\nfrom Antoine's clothes becoming wet,\nas the water washed back and forth as\nhe rowed. He dried the bills before\nIhe fire, at Cariboo, as Ann Kootenay,\none of the crown witnesses, had described. At Cariboo he called his brother, Louis, twice. He satd: \"Here are\nthe coat and the shoes of Antoine. I\nput them outside of your house.\" He\ntold Louis that Antoine had gone hack\nto Fauquier's from Grassy point. HIb\nreason for telling Louis that was so\nthat Loiii8 should not find out right\naway, and be sorry. He then w4nt to\nthe house of Alec.

At the time of Antoine's death\nthe prisoner still owed the $1 to Antoine.1 .\nCross-examined by Mr. Lennie, he\nsaid Antoine was on the ground only\na brief time when he (ell after the witness had taken the rifle trom him. Antoine (ell on his hands and sprang up\nagain at once. The witness had the\ngun ln his hands and the other gun\nwas In the middle of the boat. An-.\ntolne said he was going to kill him and\nstarted toward the witness. Antoine\nsaid four times at Qrassy Point he was\ngoing to kill the witness. He said, \"I\nam going to Are and kill you,\" twice.\nWhen he got up from the ground he\nsaid that twice again. After striking\nAntoine with the gun the witness waited half an hour and then took the body\nby the arms and carried it to the boat.\nThe (eet were dragging, but made no\nmark as the ground was hard. Where\nthey were shooting the ground was\nsoft and their (eet left Imprints. The\nreason they went to the hard ground\nwas because Antoine took the boat\nthere, saying, \"Here Is the place, here\nwe will land,\" The witness took the\nmoney (rom the body before he tied\nthe rope to the hand. He did not tie\non thp rook till he had the body out\nin the lake. He took the money from\nAntoine's clothes when the body was\nabout five steps (rom the water's edge.\nThe reason they fired at the stick at\nGrassy Point was because they were\nglad and the rifles were good. Their\nhearts were good and they were laughing. They changed seats about a mile\nand a half above Fauquier's ranch,\nabout opposite Schlag's, betore they\ngot to Grassy Point.\nAsked whether Antoine had anything\nagainst htm, he said he feared Antoine\nbecause, when drunk, Antoine always\nboasted of his strength and wanted to\nfight. When sober Antoine never was\nthat way. On, this day Antoine was\ndrunk and was In that humor, and the\nwitness was afraid. Antoine did not\ntell him why he wanted to kill him.\nAntoine was not angry on account of\nhis bat going into the water.\nMr. Lennie asked the witness if he\ncould think o( anything that would account (or Antoine's anger, but the witness could think of nothing else.\nLater, when under arrest and landing\nat Grassy Point with Constable Devltt,\nthe witness saw his own tracks.\nHis lordship asked the witness why\nhe had not retreated when Antoine\nsprang at him. The witness replied\nthat Antoine dashed at him and he\n(eared that Antoine would pursue him\nand take the gun (rom him and shoot\nhim. Antoine had nothing in his\nhands. When Antoine arose from his\nhands the witness backed a step and\nclubbed his gun.   His lordship said ap\nparently thp witness did not try to re-\ntreat. The witness said when Antoine\nthrew the stone he went (our steps\naway (rom him and threw two small\nones and a big. one. The witness avoided the rocks by stooping. Antoine\nthrew the racks very fast. The witness said nothing to Antoine at this\nstage. Asked by his lordship why he\nhad not taken the body to Fauquier's\nthe witness replied that he had been\ndrinking and did not think of the hest\nthing to do, so went to Burton City.\nAsked why he had kept the money and\nnot given it to Antoine's relations, he\nsaid if Alec Christie had not persuaded\nhim to go to Castlegar he would have\nstayed at Burton City and told them\nabout Antoine and given them the\nmoney. When arrested by Constable\nDevltt he had told the latter that he\nhad\" taken Antoine's money to take\ncare of it,\nMr. Johnson, ln summing up for the\ndefence, pointed out to the jury that\nthe prosecution, before the Indictment\ncould he sustained, must prove that\nthe prisoner committed a murder in\nthe common acceptance of the word,\nthat is to say, took the life of the deceased man deliberately and (or an\nimproper motive.\nTracing the history of Indians in\ngeneral, the counsel laid stress on the\nformer bloodthirsty disposition of the\nAmerican Indian, his small mentality,\nand the terrible effect that fire water\nhad in releasing his evil passions. He\npointed out that not one witness of the\ncrown who was acquainted with\nFrank but gave him a fine character.\nMONEY In Buying Nelson Property NOW\nGood Bays\n90 (t.

That Antoine had a contemptible disposition,\nMr. Johnson showed by reference to\nthe 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\ndid not return the money paid for the\nEnderby tickets. On the other hand,\nFrank was simple enough to pay $12\nto a Yankee sheriff to get Antoine out\nof gaol. In every friendly test of\nstrength between the two men Antoine\nhad come off superior.\ni Antoine was responsible for the two\nlanding at Grassy Point. Frank did\nnot want to land, as the destination of\nthe trip was Burton City, but Antoine\nmade him get out. With his fury rising, Antoine flrst taunted htm and then\nthrew stones at him, following this up\nhy attacking him. When Frank defended himself by clubbing the gun he\ntook the one way open to him to save\nhis own life. To have run away from\nthe Infuriated younger man would have\nbeen to sacrifice his own life, for Antoine would have overtaken him and\npumped him full of lead.\nMr. Johnson pointed out that anything that happened after the blow\nwas struck could not be considered, for\nboth mutilation and theft could be\ncharged under other indictments.\nHe claimed that the Indian's story\nwas reasonable in every detail. After\nhe had struck the blow in self-defence,\nand found he had killed Antoine, he\nwas overpowered by fear. He did not\nthen take the course a white man\nwould have taken, hut, after sitting off\nshore In the boat for half an hour to\nthink It out, he decided to conceal the\nbody.\nHis story was corroborated at many\npoints. For instance, though Dr. Rose\nfound the trunk cut wide open from\nthe public arch to the chest, Fauquier\nsaid the body only had two small cuts\non It when It came to the surface the\nflrst time and was lost. The crown\nhad not pretended \\o suggest a motive. An expert canoe man, who knew\nthe Columbia river as the jury knew\nBaker street, could have easily escaped\nfrom the country, but he did not run\naway. He felt confident the verdict\nwould be acquittal.\nMr. Lennie, in summing up for the\ncrown, pointed out that the crown did\nnot require to prove that the prisoner\nkilled the deceased, for he had admitted the deed. As for the motive, the\nonus of proving a motive was not on\nthe crown but on the defence.\nWhat, he asked, was the evidence\ngiven by the prisoner, when, on account of tlie evidence given by the\ncrown's witnesses, he found it necessary to go on the stand to testify ln\nhis own behalf? His evidence was on\nall points except regarding the events I\nat or above Grassy Point, merely a\nrepetition of the testimony given hy\nthe crown's witnesses. As to what occurred at Grassy Point only tlie prisoner and the deceased knew. Did the\njury believe his story? It was fair,\nalso, for the jury to take into account\nwhat happened after the biow was\nstruck. Was it to be believed that\nanyone but a guilty man would deal\nwith the dead body as he did? _\nj.ue crown counsel said that'll was\nthe duty of the crown to see that alt\nknown facts bearing on the case should\nbe brought out. On his own admission tlie prisoner was guilty or manslaughter. The crown did not intend\nto ask for a verdict of murder, and\nhe believed his lordship would charge\nto the same effect. It was a drunken\nfight, In which tbe prisoner had killed\nthe deceased. He felt confident the\njury would do its duty. The law was\nnot for any one nationality, but for\nevery man.\nHis lordship charged the Jury at\nsome length, pointing out, first, that\nthe jury were the sole Judges of the\nfacts, but that they must accept the\nlaw as stated by the Judge.\nIn a murder case only three verdicts\nwere possible, his lordship pointed out,\nguilty of murder, guilty of manslaughter and not guilty.\" Juries were frequently wont to stretch the facts in\nfavor of the prisoner when the facts\nreally warranted a verdict of guilty of\nmurder, bringing in a verdict of manslaughter. The power and the propriety\nof rendering a verdict or manslaughter\nin such a case were two different\nthings. In this case, fortuhately, no\nsuch doubt existed, and it had been\nsufficiently Indicated by the learned\ncounsel for the crown that the verdict\nshould, on the factB, be no stronger\nthan manslaughter. In this case It\nwould be an extremely dangerous\nthing to bring In a verdict of murder\non such facts as had heen brought out.\nThe killing hud been admitted hy the\nprisoner, so thut fact did not require\nto he proved.\nHis lordship snld that prior to 1892\nthe law on murder was construed from\nprevious judgments and  the opinions\nof persons learned in the law.   In that\nyear the Canadian parliament enacted\na law defining the crime of murder explicitly.   His lordship read several sections from tlie Criminal Code dealing\nwith the crime of murder, particularly\nas to what constituted murder,   manslaughter and justifiable homicide,   if\nthe prisoner\u2014assuming that the story\ntold by hlni was true\u2014killed the deceased when driven to It to save   his\nown  life, it was Justifiable homicide.\nIf he had an   opportunity   to refrain\nfrom killing him, and still preserve his\nown life, it was manslaughter.   Violent\nprovocation, if ucted upon immediately,\nwould result In reducing   what   would\notherwise be murder, to manslaughter.\nIt was for the jury to say whether the\naccused's account of the   affair   was\n-credible, and also to remember   that\nthere was nothing ln the evidence to\nconnect the prisoner with the   killing\nof Baptiste except the prisoner's own\n\u25a0testimony.\nHts lordship advised the jury not to\nattach any Importance to the acts of\nI mutilating and hiding the body.   It a\nI white man mutilated a body it would\nWhy SlanflelffsOse Nova ScotiaWool\nTHE chief reason is because the Stanfields\nhave never found any other wool that\nmakes Underwear so peculiarly suited to\nCanadians.\nThe salty, ocean breezes and healthful\nclimate, coupled with the rich grazing, give\nNova Scotia wool a quality which is not\nfound anywhere else.\nNova Scotia wool is perfectly blended.\nIt is soft and smooth, yet staunch and\nstrong. It can be spun like silk and wears\nalmost like steel. Garments, knitted of this\nfine wool, give the desired warmth and are\nnot heavy or bulky.\nIt is no exaggeration to say that the\nStanfields get the pick of the Nova Scotia wool. The founder of\nthese mills did much to develop the sheep-raising industry throughout\nthe Maritime Provinces. The farmers saved their best wool for him,\nand continue to send their high grade wool to the Stanfield mills.\nThen, too, this wool reaches the mills in the best possible\ncondition. There are no long railroad hauls\u2014no lengthy journeys\nin the holds of tramp steamers. The wool is shipped direct to Truro\nas soon as sheared. Experts sort, clean and make it ready at once\nfor its trip of transformation into Stanfield's Unshrinkable Underwear.\nStanfield's Underwear is made by the only process which takes the shrink out of\nthe wool before the garments are knitted.\nThe value of this discovery\u2014made by the founder of the Stanfield Mills\u2014is\nshown by the growth of this business, which is now capitalized at $750,000.00 and\nemploys over 300 operatives. * t\\\nStanfield's Unshrinkable Underwear is made in 3 standard weights, *  \"\"\nLight (Red Label), Medium (Blue Label) and Heavy (Black Label)\nand in 17 other weights and qualities to suit the requirements of\nevery man and woman. 0\nThe best dealers, everywhere handle Stanfield's Underwear.      yj .ltWr'\nCatalogue showing styles, and samples of fabric, sent free for\nPresident\nyour address.\nStanfield's Limited.\nTHIM, N.S.\nlie taken as a strong evidence of guilt.\nBut no such conclusion could be founded on the act of an Indian with no\nsuch line moral perceptions.\nThe prisoner apparently bore a good\ncharacter, his lordship said, and there\nwas no reason to doubt the story of the\naccused paying money to get his friend\nout of trouble. The demeanor ot the\nprisoner in the witness box was a factor which could properly be taken Into\naccount, and it often was of great\nweight with Juries.\nIt was also within the competence ot\nthe Jury to bring ln a verdict of manslaughter with a recommendation for\nmercy, and a recommendation to that\neffect from the jury always received\ngreat consideration from the judge.\nHe committed the case to their\nhands.\t\nFU0TBALLJ01RNAMENT\nTMERt   WILL   BE   A    SERIES   OF\nGAMES TOMORROW\nWILLOW   POINT  AND   BLUE   BELL\nBOYS COMING\nThe football tournament which will\nhe held on the afternoon of Thanksgiving day, ought certainly to be a success, judging from the number of contests m will be brought off.

McMORRIS   Manager\nONE   VACANCY   FILLED\nPremier McBrlde has filled one of\nthe vacancies in his cabinet by the appointment of Mr. Price Ellison, who\nhas.represented Okanagan in the legislature since 1898, lo the position of\nminister of lands. The appointment\nwill he generally approved, for Mr.\nEllison is one or the oldest members\nof the house, and has shown himself\none of tlie ablest and strongest of the\ngovernment's supporters.\nDuring the Ume he has been a member of the house Mr. Ellison has taken\nu particular interest In all matters affecting Irrigation, a question of the\ngreatest importance in many parts of\nBritish Columbia. As minister ol lands\nMr. Ellison will be directly In charge\nof everything relating to irrigation and\nhe will thus be In a position to carry\ninto effect some of the progressive\nideas to which he has so often given\nvoice. Mr. McBrlde is, indeed, fortunate in securing Mr. Ellison's services\nus minister of lands, and Mr. Ellison is\nio be congratulated on the honor which\nhas been done him by his leader.   ,\nMr. Ellison's appointment leaves one\nother vacancy in tlie cabinet, which,\nhowever, may not he filled until after\nthe election. There need, however, be\nno uneasiness in the public mind over\ntills, for Mr. McBride can be counted\non to display the same good Judgment\nIn regard to this second appointment\nas lie lias over that of Mr. Ellison.\nPOSTOFFICE   ENLARGEMENT\nTbe announcement that the local\npostofflce Is to be enlarged is one that\nshould be received with a good deal of\nsatisfaction by the people of Neison.\nJust six years ago the present ofllce\nwas opened, and at that time It was\ngenerally thought that it would be\nlarge enough to serve the city and tlie\nlarge district for which this is the mall\ndistributing centre for many years to\ncome. The growth of the city und of\nthe district, however, has been very\nmuch more rapid than was expected,\nand tlie result is that the enlargement\nor the postofflce building, already by\nall odds tlie best in the interior of the\nprovince, has become an absolute\nnecessity.\nNo better tribute to the growing Importance of Nelson than tills could be\ndesired and the manner in which the\npostofflce department has taken up the\nquestion of meeting the situation will\nmeet with general commendation. If\nthe government sees eye to eye In regard to the matter with its chief\nsuperintendent of postofflces, Mr.\nGeorge Ross, who has Just concluded a\nvisit of Inspection here, work on the\naddition to the present postofflce building will, within a comparatively short\ntime, be under way. When the work\nhas been completed Nelson will have\na postofflce capable of handling the\nlarge amount of mall now passing\nthrough daily, not only for tiie people\nof the city but also for those of the\nrapidly developing district which surrounds it.\nTHANKSGIVING DAY\nTomorrow is Thanksgiving day and,\nif the people of Canada properly appreciate the many blessings which a\nbeneficent providence has bestowed\nupon them during the past year, tbe\nday should be observed with peans of\npraise from one end nf the dominion\nto the other. Everywhere has there\nbeen bountiful harvests und prosperity\nlias smiled on all lines of industry,\nwhile disaster and snrioi|g disturbances\nsuch as have visited other countries\nhave been unknown.\nFrom a material standpoint the year\nleaves little to be desired. But in returning thanks for what bas been\nvouchsafed them along these lines,\nthe people of Canada would do well to\nremember that neither their well-being\nnor that of tlie country depends entirely upon material progress. There are\nother things of more moment both to\nthem and to the country. Their chief\ndesire should not be the accumulation\nof the wealth, but to make of Canada\na country to which th*- world can point\nas an example of right living. Toward\ntills end every resident of Canada can\ncontribute by hia personal example,\nand should do so.\nEDITORIAL NOTES\nMcBride and immediate railway construction.\nEvery man who is interested in the\ndevelopment of British Columbia\nshould vote for and work for the return to power of Premier McBride.\nPremier McBrlde is goinn to sweep\nthe province, but that is no reason why\nthe conservatives of any riding should\nlose the seat through lack ot effort\ndue to overconildenco.\nKILLED BY EXPLOSION\nC.  P.   R.  OFFICIAL   MEETS  AN   UNEXPECTED  DEATH\nPIPE    IN    BOILER    AT     CHATEAU\nFRONTENAC BURSTS\nQUEBEC, Oct. ,23.\u2014A terrible accident occurred last evening at the\nCiiateau Frontenac by which Edward\nLaurie of Montreal was killed and four\nother men were severely injured, one\nhaving his leg broken and the others\nbeing scalded by escaping steam. The\naccident was caused by the bursting\nof a \"T\" Joint between two tubular\nboilers, which are being installed in\ntho engine room under the new wing\nto the Chateau Frontenac and which\nare designed to run the electric plant\nand to heat the building. Tlie casualties are:\nDead\u2014Edward Laurie of the mechanical department at tlie Angus shops,\nMontreal.\ninjured\u2014G. McDermott, Joseph Mc*\nMuster, T. J. Hutton and another man,\nwhose name has not been secured, all\nof Montreal.\nThe accident occurred at 5:30 last\nevening, at which time eight or ten\nmen were working around the boilers,\nwhich are being Installed by tbe Canada Foundry company of Montreal.\nThe work of installing the electric\nmachinery was nearly complete, and\nit Is stated that tbe boilers were working at a pressure of 115 pounds and\nrunning the dynamos In the engine\nroom. Without warning a large pipe\nwith a \"T\" Joint connecting the two\nboilers burst. There was a terrible explosion and a rush of blinding steam\nwhich blew those standing near the\nboilers some distance away.\nMr. Laurie of the Angus shops, who\nwas looking after the engineering\nwork, was blown about 40 feet away,\nsustaining a fractured skull, a broken\nleg and other Injuries, besides being\nterribly burned and scalded by escaping steam. He fell In the midst of the\nsteam, but was rescued by John Hayes\nof Montreal, who. rushed to the scene\nand succeeded tn getting him away, although he was badly burned while doing so. One of the other men was\nstruck by a piece of flying pipe and\nhad a leg broken, while Messrs. T. J.\nHatton, S. G. McDermott and John Mc-\nMasters were knocked down and severely scalded by steam. The rest of\nthe men In the engine room apparently escaped without injury.\n(Continued on Page Three.)\nFOOTBALL \\H BRITAIN\nRESULTS OF GAMES PLAYED YESTERDAY\nMATCHES   DECIDED   IN   ENGLAND\nAND SCOTLAND\nLONDON,    Oct.    23.\u2014The following\nare the league football results today.\nFlret Division\nAston Villa 3, Bradford City 1.\nBolton Wanderers 2, Sunderland 1.\nChelsea 0, Notts Forest 1.\nLiverpool 3, Sheffield Wednesday 1.\nMIddlesboro 1, Blackburn Rovers 3.\nNewcastle United 3, Bristol City 1.\nNotts County 3, Bury 1.\nSheffield    United    0,    Manchester\nUnited 1.

I have yet to encounter\na typical case of Bick headache that was not associated with eye strain. My\nown experience bas proven how true this Is, My records show that thousands\nhaving suffered for years from eye strain without knowing the cause, have\nsought and found relief through my examination, which proved beyond the\npossibility of a doubt that their eyes were the primary cause of all their\ntrouble and that a.direct relationship existed between their eyes and the\nnervous.system, and that a cure was effected simply by correcting the errors\nof refraction and muscles by means of glasses.\nHave Your Watch Examined By Us\nWe Guarantee All Work\nJ.

The understanding was that he was to give what\ntime he- could to the relief work. Ho\nhad given practically all his time to\nthe work while secretary.\u00ab\nTo the judge he said that he sold out\nhts business In December and went\neast on Jan. 2. He Intended to return\nto Pernio at the time and had large\ninterests there.\nHe opened hooks for the relief committee as soon as hooks were obtainable. He had accounted for all money\nreceived and his statement was O.K.'d\nby the auditor. The books did not\nshow the amount turned over to Webb.\nThe cash Is shown as $10,135.28 In the\nhook, hut the amount turned over to\nWebb was $900 more than that. A\nlong examination followed regarding\nthis item. Mr. Lockhart contended\nthat the entry was correct, taken in\nconjunction with the cash statement\nhanded to Webb, but now missing.\nThere would be no mistake in the\nhooks If the adjusting entry had been\nninde when the Calgary draft was returned, which was after Webb had\ncontrol of the bonks. The total cash\nturned over was not shown in the honks\n\u25a0but *In the statement drawn tip whon\nthe hooks were transferred to Webb.\nWithout tills statement, he admitted\nthat the entry would he incorrect. This\n$1)00 must have been stolen if it was\nmot shown at tlie next audit. If the\nstatement were produced It would account for everything. He had no means\nof getting hold of this statement nnd\nhe believed that Webb had recogniized\nthe importance of the statement. He\nbelieved that there was now a shortage\nof $(100.   This closed the defence.\nMr, Taylor addressing the jury contended that the cash book was absolutely correct and that no other entry\nthan those made by Lockhart could\npossibly have been made under the system of bookkeeping ln force. The rough\ncash book had one column only. The\nsecond cash book had segregating\ncolumns . In the donation column it\nwould have been impossible for Lockhart to have put any other sum than\n$2600, the amount of the Calgary donation. It was impossible to enter the\n$3500, the amount of the draft on that\ncolumn. Tlie adjustment should have\nbeen made when the draft was returned.\nThe book does not show the cash on\nhand. The prosecution contends that\n$900 was taken from Items unaccounted\nfor. If this had heen done it was an\nIntricate business. Yet Boulton testifies that Lockhart showed no hesitation in dictating the cash book entries\nto htm. If Lockhart had stolen the\nmoney he would bave written up the\ncash book himself and alone Instead of\ndictating to Boulton without hesitation.\nMr. Taylor thought that the crown\nshould have withdrawn the case when\nIt was discovered that the important\nstatement given to Webb had heen destroyed. Was It possible to convict a\nman on half a set of books?\nWebb and Shanley pretended not to\nunderstand books, hut the change of\nsystem they effected gave them an opportunity to steal the $900. Why did\nWebb keep out a balance of $15.03\nwhen he had no use for the money?\nIt was a suspicious circumstance. Lockhart swears that he handed over a\nlarge roll of bills to Webb and Boulton\nalso says so. But these bills were not\ndeposited. What 'became of them?\nWebb says he deposited everything. Tt\nwas impossible that Lockhart took the\nmoney. There was something for the\nother    side to explain.    The   telltale\nWe Ate Just In Receipt of Advice That\nEvery Available Business Ptope*ty ot Site\nin New Westminster has changed Hands at a big advance in price during Hie last two weeks, thaj; there\nls oot a vacant store, ottice or residence in the city and that large tracts ot land are being boufeiu 101\nmanufacturing purposes.\nTwo years ago we advised our clients to buy ln New Westminster. There has been a steady advance\nsince that date, but property is still much lower than It should be.\nNo other city tn Canada of similar size has anything like New Westminster's je=Pn\u2122\u00abs, or future\nprospects; we doubt if there Is any other city In America to compare with her as a Held [or mvesimeni.\nNew Westminster stands In the gateway to the ninety millions of the United States. The Canadian\nNorthern and Grand Trunk Pacific coming down the south bank of the Waser places her in tne same\nposition as regards the Kootenays, the Northwest provinces, the Peace river, Mackenzie ana tne iukoii,\nsoon to be opened by railways and populated by millions of the world's best citizens.\nWhat other city with, a population of 14,000 has three great transcontinental railway systems and five\nothers declaring their Intention to build?\nWith a great fresh water seaport open every day In the year.\n\/    With a million dollar bridge and a million more being spent on river Improvements.\nWith five millions being spent on a syBtem of electric railways all laid out to converge at this point.\nWith over seventy-fiVe manufacturing plants and a payroll monthly) of nearly  two hundred thoue\u00bbnd\ndollars.\n-   With a sawmill which made the largest cut ever made In the world in one day.\nWith four hundred thousand acres of valley land where roses bloom in January and the grass ls green\nevery day in the year, estimated to be capable of supporting two million people In comrort.\nWith the finest salmon fishing river in the world.\nWith the largest areas of fir and cedar timber on the Fraser and ltB tributaries, the Pitt, Llllooet,\nRuby, Harrison, Coqultlam, etc.\nWith such superior advantages for manufacturing that she captures all the big plants In competition\nwith Vancouver and Victoria.\nWe predict that when the Western Power company's plant on which they are expending two -mill on\ndollars Is completed with its central distributing station at Burnaby lake, and the _Mrmi. Angtaaotua\nconstruction that the greatest and most rapid advance in values ever seen In Canada will taae piace. lteai\nestate Is still far too low.   Now is the time to buy.\nWithin three-quarters of a mile ot the center of the city, towards Vancouver, surrounded J(*m\ncar lines and manufacturing plants we are offtering fine level lots, good soil, flne view, 33x160 leet for only\n$200; \u00bb20 down and \u00bb10 per month. Next month they will be 1250. All it needs ls a little nerve. Put your\ndollars to work.\nThe Wright Investment Co.\n419 Bate Street, Nelion\nstatement had been made away with.\nIt was significant that Shanley kept\nquiet about that $000 shortage until\nE. B. McDermid enquired into his\nbooks and there was public complaint\nabout the way he aud Webb were managing Ihe funds.\nMr. Taylor then severely criticized\nShanley describing him as a renegade\nand as a self-confessed criminal. He\nadmitted that he had made up his accounts partly by guess.\nIf Lockhart cashed the Lamb check\nthen it was Webb or Shanley that stole\nthe money. Tlie jury hud heard the evidence regarding this check and he left\nIt to them to'say who was telling the\ntruth. The Calgary draft bad offered\na temptation to steal the money by\nmaking away with the cash statement\naad Shanley was the man who had pro-\nfitted by the opportunity.\nMr. Manson in his evidence had declared that there was nothing to show\nthat Lockhart had stolen the money.\nThis alone should be sufficient to secure an acquittal.\nMr. Taylor urged the jury to compare\nthe characters of the accused and his\naccusers. Would a man In Lockhart's\nposition dare to steal what was plainly\nshown in the books. The crown contended that he entered everything ln\nhis books and stole from items entered.\nIt was incredible, especially as under\nthe circumstances existing after the\nfire there was plenty of other methods\nby which he might have stolen without\nfear of detection.\nH. C. Hall addressing jury for the\nprosecution said that the time under\nconsideration was from August In the\nend of September. At tbe end of tbe\nmonth tbe balance wns wrong. The fig-\ntire Is $900 less than the amount that\nshould have been turned over. When\nthe Calgary draft was returned Webb\ndid not know what to do with it and\nwent to the auditor to ask him. Was\nthat the conduct of a guilty man? It\ntended to prove Webb's bona fides. Tbe\ntheft lay between Lockhart and Webb.\nBid Webb try and steal from the beginning? Tf there had been handed\nover to Webb $900 more than the books\nshowed would not the auditor have noticed It? Tbe other Items were chiefly\na matter of vouchers. It was possible\nfnr Lockhart to have stolen the money.\nThe good faith of Webb was also shown\nby his action toward the error of $10 in\nLockhart's addition. It showed that\nhe intended to keep his books straight.\nTbe missing document might he explained by the fact that It was found\nto correspond with the total in the cash\nbook and that then there was no further use in keeping the document.\nBoulton was present when the money\nwas turned over. Would Webb have\ngone to Boulton afterwards if he bad\nstolen the money? The Carlisle check\nhad been cashed but was not accounted\nfor.\nMr. justice Clement summed un\nbriefly. He said that the question did\nnot lie between Webb and Lockhart.\nCertain facts came to the notice of the\ncrown and an investigation had been\nthought proper. Often the crown found\nIt necessary to use disreputable witnesses, although he did not sav that\nIt. was so in this case. This did not\n\u25a0necessarily discredit the whole case.\nIt was for the jury to sift ouf the truth\nfor themselves. In one way the ease\nwas between two men, for $900 had\nbeen Btolen. Lockhart started Webb\noff with an entry showing a certain\ncash balance. He said that he turned\nover $900 more than this Item showed.\nIf he did not turn over what he says\nhe did, he stole the money. If he did\nturn ifr over, then Tfrebb stole the\nmoney.\nThe judge said that he would not go\nInto the details of the case. If was not\nfor him to Influence the jury. The\ncase rested on whether Lockhart hnd\nturned the $900 over to Webb or not.\nIf they thought he had done so they\nmust' acquit htm and convict Webb.\nBut they must remember that Webb\nwas not on trial. If they convicted\nLockhart they must say that the evidence was sufficient to convince them\nof his guilt beyond reasonable doubt.\nIf the theft bad been committed it\nhad been done when the money was\nturned over. As to intent It was possible that the accused might have been\nInnocent of Intentional wrongdoing at\nthe time and formed a guilty Idea later.\nLockhart must be assumed Innocent\nuntil proved guilty beyond doubt.\nTHE MUSICAL ECKHART8\nAll lovers of tnualo and ot bright entertainment have the opportunity to enjov a\nrich evening's treat, ai the Musical Eckhardts, a widely known concert organza-\ntlon, will appear at the opera house Monday evening, under the auspices of the\nY.M.C.A.
