NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. THe HeCARTHY MURDE

ANNIE PARKER'S STATEMENT.

Black, Wm Dixon. OPENING THE CASE FOR THE CROWN.

The clerk having read the indictment found by the Grand Jury, to which the pri- soners pleaded ** not guilty.” Mr. Han- ington opened for the prosecution. After dilating on the importance of this case as one of the most remarkable in the criminal annals of New Brunswick, and after cau- tioning the jury to lay aside all persona! feeling and to judge of the case solely from the evidence to be submitted, the learned counsel proceeded to recite the principal facts that the Crown would set forth in the evidence. Circumstantial evidence, often stronger tian direct testimony, would be produced in support of Annie Parker’s story, so as to leave no doubt as to the truth of hertestimony that Timothy Me- Carthy was murdered by the prisoners, in the Waverly House, at Shediag, on the night of Oct. 12th.

DAMIEN WHITE

was called as the first witness.

Mr. Palmer asked that John Osborne be produced in Court, and intimated that he might be called as a witness. Dr. Tuck opposed. He had no objection to John Osborne being brought into Court to watch the case against his family, but was not prepared yet to accede to his being called as a witness.

The Chief Justice then notiiied the Sheriff to bring John John Osborne into Court, it being understood that a writ of habeas corpus would be made out for him by Mr. Palmer.

Damien White was then sworn, and in his direct examination testified that he and Philip Voutour found McCarthy’s body floating in the Scadouc on Saturday, May llth, about 1 o’clock, while they were poll- ing a boom up the river. The witness was on the stand when the Court adjourned for dinner.

After dinner the court house was packed with spectators.

Damien White resumed the stand. described the

ROPE HE FOUND IN THE SCADOUC.

It was about $inch thick, knotted and lopped at the end. He gave it to Vontour who threw it on a cake of ice lying aground.

The stone found in the Scadouc was _pro-

uced in court.| Witness described how it was picked about 100 yards below where he found the rope. It was above Connors’ creek about 100 yards.

Cross-examined by Mr. Palmer.—Witness said the stone in court was like that got from the quarries along the river, some of which were brought down stream on rafts last year. This stone was picked up 60 feet from the shore, and he thought could not have been put there by a person on the shore. At low water, the bottom there would be bare to about 20 feet from tie shore there. McCarthy was a stout man, over 200 Ibs. and if his body was laying where the stone was found or between it and the shore he thought it would have been seen at low tide. The railway bridge over Scadoue was an open one, the road bed not being planked. He recognized McCarthy’s appearance. The body was fresh-looking ; not swollen, but changed rapidly after being taken ashore. When first seen the face was; covered with water, discoloration and bloat- ing up were visible. Fifteen minutes after, witness remembered seeing blood and waiter issuing from one ear. His mouth was shut tight, also his ear. Saw no mark of vio- lence back of the ear, nur rope marks around the neck. The tep button of the rubber coat was buttoned, but as the coat was large it was some distance below his chin, so that witness could see the neck-tie. Witness described at some length how the two over-| ! coats were buttoned. Only a couple of inches of his bosom were covered by thie rubber coat.

Re examined by Dr. Tuck--The witness said he only saw one stone picked up in the Scadouc, and it could have been carried out from the shore by some person.

Q. When they took the body up from the bank, could a wagon have gone down.”

{Objected to by Mr. Palmer that it was

of his evidence was not of

seth to Hraiminer :

SACKVILLE, July 20.—Annie Parker is being examined by Palmer, counsel for de- fence, in the MeUarthy case at Dorchester to-day. She tells a straight story. The general impression now seems to be that she is telling truth.

Special despateh to Examiner : Lonpon, July 19.

The Marquis of Hartington gave notice in the Commons that he would early call their attention to papers relating to the KMastern Question and move a resolution. W. H. Smith, First Lord of the Admiralty, replying to Robert Montague, said Admiral Hornby’s telegraphs that the flag Captain of the British feet in the A%ygean Sea had an interview with General Todleben, wlio stated that he heard nothing of the firing into a British man-of-war boat sent to de- mand the release of the English sailors de tained by the Russians near the Gulf of Saros. ‘Todleben said that he extremely regretted the occurrence; he promied to send an officer specially to .the Gulf of Saros to make inquiries concerning te affair. Hecsaid he was sure that the su- perior officers of the Russian army in that district were ignorant of an attack upon the boat.

ite

Lonpon, July 19.

The resolution which Lord Hartington gave notice in the House of Commons to- day that he should move will be as follows: “* Resolved that while the House has learned with satisfaction that trouble in the East have been terminated by the treaty of Ber- lin without further recourse to arms in the extension of liberty and self government to the lower population of Europeand Turkey. It regrets that it has not been found practi- cable to deal more satisfactorily with the claims of the Greeks and that in regard to Asiatic Turkey, the military liabilities of this country have been necessarily extended; and further, that undefincd engagements, relative to the better administration of the Asiatic Provinces, have imposed imany re- sponsibilities on the State, while no suffi- cient means are indicated for securing their fulfilment, and that these responsibilities have been incurred without the previous knowledge of Parliament.”

SYDNEY COAL.

70;

REDUCTION IN PRICE !

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

HE 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.

{tis a well-know fact that for mamy years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been 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 COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasti 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., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sTANDARD character of SYDNEY CUAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving orders to truckmen and others tor SYDN COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned againet permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of her cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasi should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal ” is registered under the
