THS McCARTHY MURDER. The Continuation of Mr. Palmer's) Speech.

|

Dorenester, Aug. 17.

The facts of the case positively true he wished to give, and none other; but he wished to be righted by his learned friends if he wavered an atom. The tree men had proved that the wagon was not there. They had seen another wagon there that day, but there was a horse to it, and, of course, when the owner drove away, his wagon must necessarily go, too. Then, if any man kept a wagon there, whose was it / Let them show it possible for a wagon but Osborne's (a single light wagon) to be on the premises that night. It is physically and morally an impossibility to murder that man, go through the whole ordeal, as Parker describes, and four men sleeping in the house. If they were so successful as to overcome such impossibilities they ought to get off. Then, regarding some evil thoughts that seemed to force themselves on the minds of some people regarding Morris O'Neill and his sister, Mrs. McCarthy, he believed from the bottom of his very soul that no suspicions should rest on her. But, if McCarthy was murdered, he was afraid that there were suspicions which followed others more closely than they did the Os- bornes. He had proved that Mrs. McCarthy lived unhappily with her husband. He (McCarthy) had proved unfaithful to his marriage vows and sought the cheerful smiles ot other women. He had also proved him not on good terms with Morris O’ Neil. But he (Mr. Palmer), while respecting the Trish as noble hearted and kind, would ven- ture to say there are none you can arouse to frenzy so quickly as an Irishman by say- ing a disrespectful word about ais sister or mother. He would then call their atten- tion to Parker’s being taken in and cared for so kindly by Mrs. McCarthy, who treats her as a companion, and when she meets her kisses and greets her as a sister, which corresponds with the fact of her (Parker) tellmg Agnes Buchanan that Mrs. McCarthy was going to treat her as a lady if she would swear that the Osbornes killed McCarthy. He wished them to take parti- cular notice to this, and when they made up their minds to acquit one, it will be ne- cessary to acquit all.

He then referred to Annie’s description of the wagon. Once it had rungs and she could not swear whether it was Osborne’s or not, and then she became positive it was an express with no rungs, showing she had manufactured her story to suit.

Mr. Hickey doesn’t know precisely what night he saw the wagon, and he _ believes him mistaken in date. He says also that the light in the Waverley went out at half- past ten and he saw it no more. He remem- bers he passed the house every half hour, and if he is mistaken in that, for God’s sake, could he not also be mistaken about the wagon and dates. Hickey saw the wagon and there was nothing in it but the driver, but he did not recognize him. But let it be supposed that the body was in the wagon that Hickey saw, he would call His Honor’s attention to the fact that on points of law it failed to be evidence, and he would show why. Hethen read Hickey’s evidence taken at Moncton where he said the clock struck three as he saw a wagon going west, but Parker said the clock struck three just after Harry returned from taking the body away, she had evi- dently heard Hickey’s story, and in making her's she had put the three o’clock on the wrong end. Hickey also says he noticed the driver’s features, and that the tail board was one that let down, and that the driver was a man of ordinary size, and the box about six inches high. Nowif he took that much notice, is it not an absurdity to think if a body were in that wagon he would not have seen it and remembered it. Surely the Court did not expect those peo- ple, who were asleep at the time, to come and disprove something which had been shown as an absurdity. There was no necessity for it, viz., Hickey’s conjecture that there might be a body in the wagon ; Providence had certainly been good to them to enable them. to establish such valu- able testimony, and he would say for God’s sake for them not to expect any better proof to disprove these things set down as utter impossibilities. Hickey also said he did not think the driver was the prisoner, Harry. If it had been him he would now recognize him as _ he saw his face, form and features. Mr. Palmer then read further of Hickey’s deposition, after which the court adjourned at one for dinner.

After dinner he read and commented at length on Hickey’s testimony, and defied the annals of jurisdiction or crimes to pro- duce a case where four had committed a murder and one of them turned Queen’s evidence. He then showed the inconsist- ency of such a thing; he had tried to get Harry on for evidence, for he would like for Harry to tell the jury the story as he had told him; they could have had a chance to break him down if it had not been true, but this privilege was refused, and they had to take such evidence as Providence had thrown in their way. He then referred to

Allen, the mid-night visitor, and contrasted Parker’s description with that of Allen him- self. It was evident from her description | she had seen. Mr. Hanington somewhere, as | he was at the Weldon House that night, | and she had given his description, but_nei- | ther Allen nor Hamilton were at the Wav- | erley. Mr. Allen was at Point de Bute:

next morning, and could not have been in’

i878 NO. 379,

= ee

| Shediac the wight—before, and he believed

that Allen’s name will go down to posterity as Ann Parker’s mid-night visitor.

Mr. Palmer then dwelt on the lucky means provided for accomplishing their end for obtaining witnesses, such as railways, telegraphs, and referred to Parker again as the monstrous harlot, whose word cannot be for a moment believed. They had proved she does not care what she says, and when pressed to tell her story, which is a pack of lies, she does so regardless of every moral principle. He then proceeded to read her solemn declaration, commenting on its contradictions of subsequent state- ments, and also the absurdities it contained. He said truth is consistent with itself. If you tell a thing and don’t give the whole facts, then when you tell the rest they will agree with the part told. <A person’s memory may be sufliciently bad so that he can’t give every fact, yet it was impossible for one’s memory to be so exceedingly bad as to remember things which never hap- pened. ‘The papers had said he failed at Moncton to break her down, and at the same time she had made up her mind to lie, and she did so; but, unfortunately for her, those lies failed in their desired effect. Her memory didn’t sustain them, but they contradict each other. Of course he had no medical test like the doctors,

but he had a moral test, and one which the most scientific authorities could not bafile. Some said Harry

might have had help to put the body away, but that is absurd, because she says Harry asked her to go with him. He then read her statement at Moncton where shé swore the wagon was a light one, with rungs in the seat, and now when she heard of While’s wagon being there she adds a new feature to her story. He never in his life meta more powerful witness to make an impres- sion. The country had received her tre- mendous pack of falsehoods as true and cor. roborative. He then referred to her con- flicting testimony regarding Mrs. Osborne taking the money, dividing it, and then Harry taking the silver and the watch, and later there was no silver, only bills, which the old woman tock herself. He would then call their attention to another ab- surdity—that of detailing the time she stopped in such a place, 16 or 17 minutes and another place 12 minutes. These we know to be impossible and absurd. He further commented on her statement, show- ing other contradictions. He regarded it as an outrage on common decency; and if this had actually taken place and she had been an eye-witness to the murder, as she said, she could have remembered it all. No one item would come up at a time, but it would have been stamped upon her mind more indelibly than a red-hot iron in her flesh, and she would not tell so many stories. He then showed she had denied her stories where’ she found them inconsistent. For instance ; she said the coat sleeves were eut, but when the coat was found with the sleeves unharmed she denies her oath. The tree men, she says, were not there on the 12th. Of course they were there, but Annie or any one else can see that whoever were in the house they (the Osbornes) would know it in such an event that would burn and haunt them to their very graves. But the way to follow the build of a story is to watch it step by step, the ins and outs. She might have thought the tree men were not there, for of course they had no connection with the McCarthy case in the light she viewed it. He had proved that the clothes must have all been on the body, as there was mud on the under coat; but according to her story the over- coat was left in the house and used long afterwards. Of course she had seen Stephen McCarthy's coat there, as had been proved, and she thought that a great help in her evil design to ruin these honest and upright people. If the body had been placed near the shore ina short time it would have been entirely bare, and the only way to dispose of it so that it would not be exposed was to put it in the channel. This he had proven an impossibility, as in get- ting to the channel the water was seven feet deep. If this had not been shown a perfect absurdity, he would forfeit his position.

Then referring to the blood on the shirt, Dr. Scott had said it was impossible for the blood to get there as Parker had described, and, therefore, he would contend and es- tablish the fact that death had not been as she described. He then explained how a blow with a hatchet would be apt to indent the skin-by a blow given as described. The further corner of the hatchet must neces- sarily leave an impression the same as it would on a board or any other flat surface. Dr. Allison says there is blood clots on the shirt front, and he would have thought so too. Dr. Scott says it has not an appear- ance of clot; these professional men dis- agree. Why isitso/ Is it because their science is such that it cannot be decided upon? Then what good is their testimony at all! Drs. Allison and Scott say that the brain would bleed consider- ably, while Dr. Fleming says the blood would not flow from the brain, but from the mucus membrane, and throngh the nose, and a man might lose all his blood in that way. He then dwelt considerably on the properties of blood, and showed the posi- tion the body might occupy after falling off the bridge in order for the blood to esca from the nose to the shirt bosom, and the probability and possibility of the body hav ing fallen off the bridge, a distance of some thirty feet, causing a mark such as has actually been discovered.

The Court adjourned at six.

A great part of the time this afternoon
