THE MeCARTHY MURDER,
ANNIE PARKER’S EVIDENCE CONTINUED.
Witness then went to bed; was expecting
witness said she always called him Fred.) She heard the front door open and came down. She heard from Fraser by letter about a month or over ago; he was in Bos- ton. She did not know McCarthy’s voice. She saw him hang his rubber and overcoat up in the hall and kept his hat ‘on. The coat had false, pointed cuffs with butténs
jons He had pants and yest dark like his
coat, She would not say whether he had leggings on or not, Mrs. Osborne said, * Let us all go in the bar-room,” and they did so; witness followed. She'tlien showed the positions occrpied in the, bar-room. McCarthy, Mrs. Osborne and . Eliza’ all
| drank pale brandy, for which he paid in
silver. He talked of being to the Riley girls’ house. Witness condemned this action, but he (McCarthy) said it was tle case of good men.” Witness then des- eribed the drugging. Mrs. Osborne, taking a pinch from a paper containing about a tablespoonful, put 1t in the pale brandy, which made it turn dark... Finally he_ be- came apparently unconscious, calling for his wife and son and then could not be-under- stood. He then had his arms and head on the counter. Mrs. Osborne ¢ame round, took his roil of money, three inches thick, from the righ; hand pants pocket, offered witness halt, which she refused, and asked what would be done with him. © Harry said “finish him,” and his mether gave him the hatchet and said ‘strike him once, not not twice.” .The blow was delivered be- hind the right car, He fell.on the left side, but face towards the counter, his left hand under him, making a gurgling sound’ in breathing. Harry struck him again. She saw aman die once, not with such a long breath. During the hard breathing Me- Carthy drew himself ina bimch and -bled in a heavy stream from the nose and mouth lessening as it ¢anie. Nothing was said. Harry went out round the honse, brought in a stone and put it on the floor © He asked for a rope; went up stairs, got a piece of old bed-cord one and a half or two yards long. . Witness ‘held’ the end and Harry tied a‘ stip-knot and tight knot, put the rope on his’ neek and on ‘the’ stone, which he placed ‘on the’ breast, and took McCarthy’s watch, chain and shell from the pocket’ and pleced them on the “counter. Mrs. Osborne then ‘mixed . witness a drink without stirring itj‘and witness swallowed two mouthfuls. Harry then swore witness never to tell. Harry got a horse and wagon, backed it up over three steps of the front platform, came in, and the three car- ried him out head-first, turning in the bar- room, head from the counter. Blocd dropped some in the hall. By Harry’s di- rection witness gob in the wagon and turned the seat round. They gave him a jerk. ‘in the wagon, laid him’ on his* back—head towards the left side— towards Point du Chene. ‘Harry asked witness to go. She refused) | Witness asked Eliza-to go and she refused. ‘He then drove away. Allcame in. (Hatchet shown.) Witness says the handle was longer. She never saw it in the bar-room befure that night. She used the hedeord for a swing and Mrs. Osborne said’to put it back; it was not theirs (Osborne’s). | Wit- ress put it back in the room; it was old rope; don’t know how many strands; looked aout two strands. (Rope shewn and iden- tified as about the size. Stone produced, but it looked longer than the one used.) Harry used a dark, faded horse and a light wagon. She knewa Frenchman was there with @ wagon containing barrels one time, but'sle Co1’t know when. It was between two and three o’clock that Harry drove away. It was not dark; could see the Johnson House’ and drug store plainly.

one spoke; she heard him coming in. » Dr. Tuck asked witness if anything was said by or to him:
said no ohe spoke. fis Honer thought witness meant no one spoke while he way coming in. °
The question was put and answered in the negative.
‘Witness said he was nothing like as old a mata’ Dr. Tock; he seemed about 26 or 27. (Dr. Tuck said he felt better than if she had said 45.] Witness described the stranger as before. Eliza and Mrs. Os- borne went into the sitting room after Harry left with the body. They said noth- ing. Witness stood at the front door (which was open six or eight inches) while Harry was gone. Harry told her he put him a mile above the Scadouc bridge. Wit- ness then went up-stairs, and Mrs. Osborne called her and directed her to wash up the blood, which she did’ by scrubbing half the barroom and the stains in the hall. Dur- ing this time Harry, Eliza and Mrs. Os- borne remained in the ladies’ sitting room. ‘Next morning they took ‘breakfast in the kitchen.’ No one but the familly were pres- ent. Witness offered’ Harry ten cents for the shell of “McCarthy’s chain and he, would not *sell it, (Watch shown and identified.) “Don’t know

Reporters—A True Picture.
The newspaper reporter is undoubtedly a peculiar person, and none know his pecu- liarities so well as those who employ him. As a species of the human family, present- ing, of course, a certain proportion of ab- normal exceptions to the yeneral rule, he és a’ person of enthusiasm, .enterprise and much endurance. He is always or gener- ally imaginative. His best types run rather towards systematic accuracy as to facts, the tendency toward imaginative flights being usually crushed out by editors, who prefer facts to fancy in their news columns. The fancy reporter, of whom ‘‘ Gath”. is per- haps the highest American type, dwells wholly in the regions of imagination, and wins literary renown and reward at the sacrifice of moral reputation as. a person mindful of the truth. But the regular, average daily reporter is a hard-worked drudge, for whom a’ great diversity of gifts is needed, He must be ubiquitous. He must be of all parties, schools, or creeds, or else of no party, school, or creed. . He must be ambidextrous, and capable of living without food or sleep. ‘He must ‘keep the run” of a variety of things past, pres- ent and to come, as incongruous and con- flicting as the articles in a cyclopeedia. He must never make a mistake. He must have the patience of Griselda, and ‘the sweet temper of a saint. He must return snubs with smiles, and when he is refused at the front door he must get his ipforma- tion at the hack gate. He must be in- tensely interested in the most intensely stupid people and things, and) must fre: quently sit in the seat of the scorned at the feast he is to glorify in the next day’s paper. He must be as methodical as a Hock. and as versatile as a weathercock. Hernust be all things to all men; if by any means he may get anitem. He iust >be a person knowing all things, and having no opinions jabont anything. He must contribute largely to his newspaper, and never have his individnality recognized.

SOME OF THE GOOD THINGS TO BE FOUND . IN THEM,
I never tri to settle other peeple’s quar- rels;i have seen men tri to do this, and git bad’y whipt bi both partys.
Hunting for happiness iz like hunting fer hen’s eggs away under the barn; after yu hav fotind them haff the tine yn find they are addled.
Thare iz lots ov peeple in this world who say they haint got enny faith in. heaven or hell, and yet they hay got faith enuff to in- vest their last dollar in a lottery ticket, or a bottle of quack medisin.

Young man, studdy politeness, even if yn ask a man for his tooth pik, after he haz got dun using it, don’t fail to thank him politely for it.
Lasting friendships can only exist be- tween equals, superiority insists upon res- pekt, and inferiority is too often apt to ex- cite pitty.
