Preliminary Examination.

—_——

Tue preliminary examination of the pris- oners Johnston and Millner commenced this forenoon before His Honor the Stipendiary Magistrate. ‘They are not represented by

counsel, although Messrs. Hodgson and

Palmer visited the Court several times dur- ing the day. The evidence, so far, is sim- ilar to that taken at the Coroner's Inquest :

Mary Ellen Byers sworn:—Repeats her former statement about sitting on the door step with Mary Brown when the horse and wagon passed with two men, and turned at Mr. Hobkirk’s corner and came back and stopped at Fitzroy Street. Suse Ingles and Mrs. Chiverie went out and com menced talking to them. The women were four or five feet from the men. I swear I heard them talking to the men in the wagon. They were talking to them about

—

: not speak to the men in the wagon.) I never spoke to James Millner before. I never saw him down about where I live. I never seen the the other young man before the trial. 1 swear { never spoke to either of these men anytime that night; and when Suse Inglis awears [ did, she swears what is false. The men in the wagon did not speak to either of us, nor did I hear them speak at all, except to Sonny Cusack. Cusack came along about a minute after they stopped. When they spoke to Cusack, they started and drove to St. Peter’s Church, and then turned. They did net drive fast till after they fired. Both men were dressed in dark clothes—one had a cap on, and the other had a hat. Kelly fell a little below Ryan’s corner. I did not see him fall. Kelly was the only person I saw on the street below Ryan’s corner at the time the shots were fired. I did not see the stone thrown, nor hear tell of it till in the Court.

Dr. Hobkirk, sworn : Testities to attending Kelly before his death ; describes the locality of the wound and the direction of the bu"et, and informs the Court of the result of the post mortem examination, and said Kelly was

five minutes. They were standing on‘ the same side of the street as | was. The women were talking. I could hardly hear the men. Sonny Cusack was coming from the pump, going towards the pond. Cusack } was about fifteen feet from the wagon. They said ‘“‘Sonny.” He stopped, but I did not hear him saying anything. I don’t

think there was any conversation between

Sonny and the men. Then there was a stone thrown. The stone was thrown from towards Ryan’s corner. The stone either struck the wagon or the board fence around St. Peter’s Church. After the stone was thrown they gave the horse a cut, and turned around and fired three shots from the wagon towards the pond. One of the men said something after the shots were fired, but I could not tell what it was. When I got into the house I heard some one hollering. Afterwards some one told me that it was Kelly was shot. Kelly was playing with us before the shots were fired. He left us and went around towards the pond. I did not see Dave Ingles then. I could not swear who threw the stone. I would not swear it was not Dave Ingles threw the stone. I could tell that it was nota woman threw the stone. I could tell it wasaman by his legs. I saw him throwing one stone. The horse was a dark colored one. The seat of the wagon was nearer the front of the wagon than the back. One of the men had on a ‘“‘bucko” cap, with dark clothes. The other had light clothes, with a dark hat. I swear I never saw Millner down there before. I never saw him driving with Rose Chiverie or Suse Ingles before.

Mary Brown’s evidence corroborates Mary Ellen Byers’ statement regarding the firing of the shots, the dress, the size and color of the horse, and the make of the wagon. The stone which was fired, she says, struck Peake’s fence. She does not know who fired the stone. She states that it was the j erson in dark clothing fired the shots.

Mary Ann Ryan, sworn: Myself, Suse

the bridge, and a horse drove by towards Hobkirk’s, and turned at the corner and came back and stopped at the crossing of the street, and Suse Ingles and Rose Chiverie went out and talked to them for about half an hour. The women were standing on the bridge that runs across to the pump. I saw them talking, but did not hear them. I left Suse Ingles and went to Billy Byers’ door and commenced to play with Kelly. I heard a stone fired against Mr. Peake’s fence. I came from where Kelly was shot. The wagon then turned, and they fired three shots from the wagon. The last one fired, 1 heard Kelly sing out ‘‘I am shot.” The deceased was standing near Mrs. Ryan’s when he was shot. One of the men was dressed in dark, with a haton. The other was dressed in light, with a high-crowned cap with a peak on. I heard one of the men in the wagon say, ‘‘ Ill give them firing stones,” and then the shots were fired. He also said : ‘*T shot one black son of a bitch.” He said that after the last shot. They drove around Hobkirk’scorner up from the bridge. I don’t know which of the men fired the shot. I think the horse was a dark one and the wagon a single-seated one. I have

ter. I cannot identify the prisoners.

Lilly Ryan sworn: I was standing by myself at my own door. I saw Suse Ingles, Rose Chiverie and Sonny Cusack standing on the platform. A wagon drove by and stopped near St. Peter's Church fence. The wagon was four or five feet from where they were standing on the platform They were standing there about half an hour. Dave Ingles came along from towards Hobkirk’s, and when he got over to where Suse was standing, near Ryan’s corner, he picked up a stone. As soon as the fellows in the wagon saw him picking up the stone the lashed the horse and drove towards the bel- fry of St. Peter’s Church. As they were moving on Dave fired the stone and it struck the fence. They turned the wagon at the belfry and drove towards Hobkirk’s and fired three shots. I did not hear them say anything when they fired. I saw the side of one of the men’s faces as they passed, but

ina healthy state and came to his death by the bullet.

I notice, in this morning’s Patriot, that, among others, I have secured the agency for the sale of ascurrilous little pamphlet, pur- porting to be a burlesque acceunt of a Liberal Conservative meeting (which did not take place. ) I wish to positively sae the statement. Mr. George D. Davison left on sale twenty five copies of the ‘Grit Campaign Tract”—for this, I think, should be the title—assurin me that nothing of an offensive nature coul be found therein, and that, in every sense, it was independent. Upon looking at the first page, I noticed, to my disgust, the name of a poor, helpless lunatic (Roderick Morrison) among the number ‘‘ who failed to put in an appearance.” Any n of the least manl feeling, would heartily condemn this easel ing. I, therefore, concluded that if it was necessary to bring into ridicule ‘‘ one of the most helpless of God’s creatures,” in order that a laugh might be excited, and aid the sale of a partizan pamphlet, I would have nothing to do with it. The editor of the ‘‘ Patriot says: ‘‘ The thanks of the public are due to the illustrious author for the excellent report, and it is a thing devotely to be wished, that everyone of the electors of this great country will purchase, then read, and afterwards send to his friend a copy of this truly valuable work.” Now, Mr. Editor, is this not an un- mitigated insult to the intelligence of the people of this County. A partizan, nonsen- sensical report of an imaginary meeting, is re commended to the elector, and they are asked- to accept it as authentic! What trash! With equal proprietory might Col. Bob Ingersoll write a burlesque edition of the Scriptures,and the work be recommended by our ministers to | the faithful. I wish, in conclusion, to posi- tively say that / am not agent fora work which strives to hold up to ridicule some of our most worthy citizens; but which will, in reality, only injure the party, the dupe of which has penned ‘this truly valuable work.”

Yours, very truly, THeo. L, CHAPPELLE. Ch’town, Aug. 27, 1878.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the Am erican peo le are to-day dying from the effects of yepsia or disordered liver. The result of oe diseases upon the masses of in- telligent and valuable people is most alarm- ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and. usefulness as it ought tobe. There is no, good reason for this, if you will only throw | aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of druggists and your friends, and try | one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles | of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in| every case. You can buy a sample bottle for 19 cents to try. Three doses will re- | lieve the worst case. Positively sold by all | druggists on the Western Continent,

SYDNEY COAL.

a

REOUCTION IN PRICE !

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

(FYE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA-

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers,

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years

ast the prices of other Cape Breton coals have

en regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY

COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAI, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compa with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etec., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coal as SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the

rt of those who make them of the sraNDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

1t has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances oer giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal, The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.

aan vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with + Snene of the cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should oon themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal ” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY COAL” are liable to prosecution.
