    TRIAL OF WHALEN.

    {From the St. John Morning Telegraph.]

    The trial of Whalen at Ottawa, for the
    murder of Hon, Thomas D’Arey McGee,
    commenced on Monday the 7th inst. We
    give below some interesting particulars
    in connection with this important event:—

    WHELAN’S APPEARANCE IN COURT.
    _Outin the yard there was a little proces-
    sion, Between two policemen, who watch-
    ed their man closely, came Whalen, and
    behind were other watehful men, ‘ihe
    procession moyed across the gaol yard to
    the Court House, and a moment huer they
    enter, The first object that catches the
    eye is the red beard of the prisoner, which

    has grown considerable during his con-
    On entering the room he is at

    finement.
    once conveyed to the dock, and imme-
    ately pliced therein, his handcuffs being
    removed, thongh other preeautions are not

    neglected. The appearance of the prison-
    er is Whit might be expeeted from one in

    his trerible positicn. He looks pale and
    anxious, a slight pink tinge on his rather
    prominent cheek bones, being the only
    particle of color on his face, Otherwise he
    looks well enough, indicating that the pri-
    son fare has not disagreed with him, He
    sits in the dock restless and neryous, ran-
    ning his fingers through his beard and
    twirling his moustache almost inec
    as if he felt une:
    avonnd the court
    expecting to see acc

    to preserve an appearance of casy
    ness, but it does not sit well on him TT;
    keeps constiuntly in motion, and there isan |
    incessant twitching of the muscles of the

    mouth, showing that inwardly he is ted
    and nervous, Of course his app 1c)

    creates aw sensation in court,— )
    Wants to sce the notorious prisoner, and
    everyone, therefore, makes an attempt to
    do so. Thereisa general straining of eyes
    from all parts of the room to catch a sight
    of the man in the dock, And during all
    this time the cross mination of a wit
    tess on the wood 3 going on most
    persistently as if the fate of the world hung

    len’s person may not be out of place here,
    As he sits in the dock we have « good op-
    portunity of scanning his fe
    is the result ot our obsc
    len’s forehead is low
    though not so much as has been said’ by
    others The jaw and chin, as dir as ean
    be judged, while that heavy red beard
    covers them, are strong and determined
    looking—yet the man has by no means 2
    bad expression, — Ilis restless eyes are
    against him, and they p ’s the
    worst features of his As he looks
    vow he would seareel ed out by
    the most expert physiognomist as the man
    who would commit the erie of which he
    now stands accused. Ile is a strong,mnus-
    cular looking man, apparently capable ot
    enduring much hardship, and making a
    determined fight. His shoulders are broad
    and well-knit, but his chest is of no great
    lepth, es peeially for one of, his
    streneth, His limbs are slender, and indi-
    cate activity, Tis head is whatis ealed a
    * bullet head,” being almost round, the
    animal characteristics evidently predomi-
    iting; yet he is aman of intelligent ap-

    THE CASH, AGAINST WHALEN.
    Mr, O'Reilly.
    vious to calli
    things said s—

    in addr

    g witnesses,

    ‘ssing the jury pre-
    wmong other

    he fired the shot, and the Crown will un-
    dertake to show that the prisoner wits sin-
    ply an emissary of a band of bad men iu

    MWGee's lite. The conspiracy wa
    in Montreal, and the jrisoner
    the first one of the conspirators,
    intention was to tike Mar, iee’s life in
    his ewn house, and they made an attempt
    to do so some time previous to his going
    to Ottawa to: ttend to his duties as a mem-
    berof Parliament. Fortunitely Mr. M Gee's
    brother was in the house when the attempt
    wasmuade. Ile opered the doorat 2 or 3
    o'clock in the morning when the prisoner
    entered and alleged that he Âą for a
    friendly purpose, namely. to give warning
    that the murder was to be committed that
    very morning at four o'clock. Secing thut
    the visit was apparently for a triendly
    purpose, he wis reecived in the study,
    when he then gaye information that. the
    house was to be attacked, Ile said there
    was a violent enmity between two partics
    respecting the maticr. In the study a note
    was written by Mr. M'Gve to the Chict of
    Police advising him of the intended attempt
    to murderhim, and the prisoner undertook
    to deliver it, But he did not deliver itun-
    til 3 hours alterwards, although according

    from

    attueked within two hours. It would also
    be shown that the prisoner entertained a
    very strong and bittey enmity against the

    deceased. He had charged hin’ with being
    v traitor to his country and having sold her

    nd lrequently threatened vengeance
    nsthim, Such were the views ind
    chings of the prisoner, and only too
    well did he carry them out. It will be
    shown that ata tavern in Montreal kept by
    one Duggan, the prisoner met other per
    sons, and that not only was the prisoner
    selceted to do the bloody deed, bucthat he
    was addressed by one ot his companions in
    these words—* Sullivan, you are the man to
    do the deed.”

    It will also be shown that when Mr.Me-
    Gee came to Ottawa to attend his Parlia-
    mentary duties, that Whalen came also,
    When dir. MGee took sick and went to
    Montreal, so did the prisoner, and when
    he returned to Ottawa the prisoner follow-
    ed him again. Although cmployed as a
    tailor in Moutreal at good wag nal wl-
    though his wile was there, and he had a
    house rented there, he lett and went to Ot-
    tuwa whenever Mr. M’Gee did. Also, it
    would be shown that whenever Mr. MP Gee
    appeared in his place in the House of Com-
    tons Whalen would be in the stranger's
    gall It would be proved that as early
    as December, in the previous year, Whalen
    had purchased a pistol and practised shoot

    plished marksman,

    in the House, Whalen was in the gallery
