It was about three minutes after that we looked at the clock.
Cross-examined by the Attorney General —We are all agreed that it was the 14th of August. We often walked in August evenings. I saw Johnston on Prince Street two or three times. Tne place where we ask for the letters was closed—I think. I got home before ten. We met the other two girls before looking at the clock. They said they had seen Louis Johnston that night.

The others were not there when we looked at the clock and saw it was 25 minutes to ten, and Miss Jury remarked that she must get home before ten. 1 didn’t look at the clock after we left the Post Office.

Jt was my brother asked me if I re- member what McKinnon said about that matter when he came frem the Court and told me 1 was subpeened. The conversa- tion between myself and McKinnon took place on the Sunday after Johnston was ar- rested. I did not read McKinnon’s evi- dence in the papers. Ithought my brother told me that Archd. McKinnon contra- dicted himself.
Matruew ALAN, sworn—Examined by Mr. Palmer—lI reside in Charlottetown. My sister lives in the house with me. 1 know Archibald McKinnon for several years. He was living next to us at the time Kelly was shot, I saw him about the time the inquest was going on. He came to my house on Sunday afternoon. My sister said to him that if Johnston was as cute as Millner there would be nothing about it. The answer was that Millner was too cute to confess anything—that he was an old hand. Referring to being in Millner's, Mc- 1}Kinnon said that he was so stunned by ‘striking his head against the door that he did not know what he was doing. There
was no occasion for McKinnon at that time; ..nt¢ him to the Post Office that night. J He was a} re
to come and tell a deliberate lie. drinking man. He was competent at that time to give a credible statement. Crozs-examined by Attorney Genera!— The conversation between myself and Mc- Kinnon took place the Sunday after the murder, in our own house. On Wednesday ‘membered the conversation she had with McKinnon. She said *‘yes.” I[ then went come up to the court. She then commenced tu tell the conversation to me and I stopped her. It was McGregor the policeman that 'told me that McKinnon was eoming up as a witness. We were talking about Pius McKinnon being away. McGregor said,

I went to the country that night | with Warren and Hand. We went to the '«* Seven-Mile House” and from there crossed over Moore’s dam, and followed a track to to Dockendorffs’. The reason we followed | that track was that Hand told us the horse was a black one like Dockendorffs’. Hand ‘did not tell us it waa Millner’s horse. We \did not hear a word about Millner till we ‘got back about 3 in the morning. The ‘horse we tracked had no shoes.
