THE McCARTHY MURDER.
The Continuation of Mr. Palmer’s Speech.
Doliééiaren. Aug. 17. Mr. Palmer, this morning, called the at- tention of the Court to the deposition of several witnesses he had cross-examined upon, and wished to have them filed as evi- dence. Dr. Tuck had no objections. Dr. Tuck then called — Patrick A. McGinley, constable in charge of clothing and articles of evidence, who testified that the articles had not been tam- peréd with, and that none but the authorities had access to them. allow Mrs. they were. ‘The Court then waited a few minutes for rebutting witness, and Dr. Tuck announced that he would wait no longer. At 10.45 o'clock Mr. Palmer began his address to the jury. He said, as the coun- sel for the prisoners at the bar, it fell upon him to make his expected appeal to them. After along siege and the fatigue of the trial he hardly felt qualified to do justice to the occasion; still, he would endeavor to show them the facts of the case. He, of course, could easily demonstrate the inno- cence of the prisoners, and he did not for a moment doubt as to the result of the trial; but he wanted to satisfy the public mind, for it would be very unfortunate to send the prisoneis ont with any suspicions resting upon them. He would now go over the facts to show his theory correct that those prisoners are not guilty of such a heinous and enormous crime. He would refer to the principal actor in this highly emblazoned drama. It was a_ pleasure first of all to him as a British subject and coun- sel for the prisoners to have it to say that no previous charge had ever marred their heretofore good character, as had been proved in Court. The Scriptures say : ‘Train upachild in the way it should walk, and when old,it will not depart there- from.” As the sparks are pronoa to fly up- wards, so will moral training in childhood determine, mould and shape the character. After the distinguished character the pris- oners have borne, the mother bringing her children up in the fear and admonition of the Lord that they may be respected and honored,—the charge laid tothemis a moral impossibility. He would appeal to His Honor, whom he highly respected for his impartial conduct and high standing, be- tween the evidence set forth im its proper light here. and the insinuations and the suggestions resorted to by the press in giv- ing light and sparkling information to ‘the public in this highly painted drama and _ re- nowned theatre which would be written in the annals of our country’s history. Those who read these writings no doubt are preg- nant with bitter feelings against the pris- oners instead of the opinion they should, according to the real character of the case, possess. He expressed full confidence in the Jury.

Mr. Palmer next called His Honor’s at- tention to the fact that in the evidence not one of the prisoners have been found doing or saying anything wnilawful, but rather what was natural for them to do or say, nor were they found in an improper place only by the evidence of Annie Parker. He referred again to the idea of people recog- nizing this os a drama instead of going to the real facts of the case, making a the. ry and arguing it out, and betting a bottle of brandy against a firkin of butter. It had been some seven months ago since Annie Parker undertook to convince the world that the Osbernes were guilty. It is evi- dent she was hostile to the Osbornes. Mrs. Stultz’s testimony showed this, and the Osbornes mentioned their hostility to her. If they were guilty, would they do so? Is it reasonable / W ould they not be running after her constantly and trying to bribe her to keep it to herself? Before you can de- cide this trial what has got to be believed is, first, that they had made a plan to drug McCarthy, and that before a person they do not consider right and almost a stranger to them, for they only seen her three weeks. Then she goes to bed with an arrangement to meet her lover in the night, and when McCarthy comes back, although she knows he is coming, she thinks it her lover. Then, is it reasenable they would take the money before her and let her go with them / If ten men in the world will believe such a story, he cannot. Parker did not want him robbed, but still she could not give him any assistance, but sought rather to have a lark with him, and sport and fool with him in snch a time as that, while they take his money. What next / Mrs. Osborne who has been proved to be trustworthy, tells her boy to eommit murder in the presence of one who was a stranger three weeks be- fere! Then you must believe that this boy went to the Scadove that dark night alone, where he had never been before, and that she scrubbed blood up in the morning with warm water before the fire was made. He then detailed the conclusion the people would have to arrive at regarding the body being buried without the overcoat, only the
hody coat, according to Parker's testimony. He would. appeal to ‘the general public, if he was misrepresenting facts, to all those who have maintained any hostility against the Osbornes to look at the true facts of the case. He then glanced at the bar-room be- ing proved to be open by five or six wit- nesses. She said the body was taken to the | front door,—-the most exposed place, when there were three back doors, and that the-

crime was committed with no less than four people in the house, It was said death was caused by blows without breaking the skull or skin. Thivd Despateh, Dorcnerster, Aug. 17.
He, of course. did not dispute what the doctors said might take place; but it is like the saying that pigs might fly. But if the whole public believes such absurdity he could not think the jury coming to commcn sense, cause and effect would believe it. He would appeal to the public against such a monstrous harlot, huge liar and wonld-be- murderer, as Annie Parker, or, as she had been called, Annie Peltier, but whose name he hoped would go down. to posterity : Annie Parker. She had arisen from the position of servant girl, and now occupies & prominent position in this highly painted drama. He did not despise her because of her calling, God forbid. He felt proud of the person who gained a living hon- estly, but it did not matter how it was dore as long as it was honestly ; but she ought to tell the truth and he would appeal to His Honor if any of her evidence iscorroborated. It is broken down, destroyed, and she ac- knowledges herself an accomplice. There- fore it is such as cannot be believed, and some theory outside of her evidence should be setup. The Crown Officer should set some theory and make it known in order that he would know upon what ground to work. Unless he was a prophet or possessed of some supernatural power he could not tell what theory to disprove, or the position of the other side, no odds how powerful an advocate. But this he did know—there was the worst feeling for the prisoners. But he claimed to give the proper construction and hypothesis ‘of. the case, and they could twist and turn about as they pleased.
He then referred to Parker, saying the tree men were not there, and of her serub- bing with warm water before the fire was made ; and he would call their attention to these absurdities. It has been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the tree men were there and also that the floor had not been serubbed that morning.
He thencomplimented Dr. Tuck in hisgen- eral fairness and his mode of conducting criminal cases as the one that should be evinced by Crown officers. But Mr. Han- ington had referred to him as_ being retain- ed by Osbornes for $500. This he does not deny, but he would sooner give them $500 out ‘of his own pocket and clear them from such foul slanders than to take that much from them and leave them in their position—calumny and disgrace heaped upon them, of which they were certainly innocent. But of course he was their paid advocate, and he knew and had proved that Mr. Hanington was retained by Edward Me- Carthy, and he don’t say it was wrong for he may have believed the story of the Par- ker girl, and in ali kindness to Mr. Han- ington that when he lays his head on his pillow he will ponder the matter over in his own {mind and will conclude he was wrong. But of course he was on the side employed to bring the prisoners to guilt and he had done his best, and he respected him for it. A week had been spent over a wagon, cutting it to pieces and increasing the expenses of the Government,¥ and that wagon, it was proved, was not there, but away up Cocagne River the 12th of Octo- ber. One of the witnesses proving this was a humble farmer's wife, sprang from among those who are scattered over our country, and whose doors are ever open to the weary traveller ; but you might as well say the Bible was a tissue of lies, that the gospels were false, as to tell some people that Annie Parker's story was not true. He had heard a respectable man arguing that her state- ment was corroborated because the body was found in the Scadoue River. He would not, at the opening of the trial, have ob- jected to that man as a juryman, and he could not but think what wonderful minds some people possess. But it was no use talking over a wagon that was not there. He had been informed the Government had purchased White a new wagon, and that had been attached, but he could not vouch for the truth of the rumor. This, together with Dr. Scott’s nursing the wagon as Winters’, avails nothing. Talk of juris- prudence and of outside or public opinion, but there is nothing like a fair trial in a
sritish court: it is like pure gold, and he was satisfied to leave it with twelve of his fellow-men, whem he believed knew no envy nor spite. He would ask what evi- dence they had of this extraordinary story of Annie Parker's, which is not only untrue but also contradicts itself time and again, and presents to us numerous ab- surdities, which, outside of the contradic- tion, he could disprove. Then we must be- lieve the blood had been left till morning-—— coolly and deliberately leaving the same after such an event, which should haunt them forever and make them shudder at the thought. Then we must believe that the wagon described was in the barn that night, and that the puncheon was against the bar-room door which was nailed wp. All these had been proved conclusively untrue, if we are to believe these witnesses instead of Annie Parker. Tait, Ward, Sqnive Deacon and others, including Miss Bu- chanan, have proved this door was not nailed up. Now, is if reasonable to sup- pose those witnesses would come here for no purpose but that of committing perjury and becoming criminals, and it is certainly the providence of God which had enabled those poor people to show these facts so conclusive,
He would now refer to the witness Bueh- anan, It was proved she had a child, but
