PROCEEDINGS IN COURT.

-_—

Some Im-.ertent Evilence. THE COURTROOM CROWDED.

Tuoven the crowd has been great, the courtroom has, so far, been very comfort- able. The improvement in ventilation

made under | supervision of Mr, Harris, the architect, his had « very beneficial effect, pure air being assured; and our

esteemed High Sherif has been most sedulous.in |his endeavors.te perform the rather difficult task of keeping the mercury in the thermometer down to ** sixty-five.”

The Foreman of the Jury presented Judge Hensley, yesterday morning, with a presentment setting forth the requirements of the jury for thew health and comfort. His Honor at once referred the jurymen.to the High Sheriff, direciing them, tu apply to him for whatever they wanted.

The evidence has so fur been given with little interruption, though the counsel on both sides are quick to check the slightest breach of the strict rales of court.

The evidence of the father of the mur- dered girl was concluded yesterday. Both direct and cross-examinations were quietly conducted, although the witness was press- ed strongly as t» his recoliection of the different hovis and times t» which his at tention Was rected. He was not allowed to relate anything ibat had him, the prisoner's counsel watching close- ly every worl shat was sani, ready to ob- ject toa single siatemeat of heresay evi- denice.

The doctors als» bore testimony. One of them (Dr. Wali) was questioned very closely by Mr. Hodgson, for the purpose of ascertaining what he didn't know about some of the mysteries of mature embraced in the physician’s art.

The demand for Tae Examinex since the beginning of the trial has so greatly in- creased that, although we have published hundreds of extra papers, the supply has not _equalled the demand. We shall endeavor, by issuing s still larger edition, to guard against a repetition of this. The papers can be obtained each evening at the Diamond Bookstore, HH. A. Harvie’s, DD. Chappel! a, W. M. Coftin’a, John Me- Intyre’s, at the vftice of publication, or fromany of the newsboys on the streets. Readers at Summerside, Georgetown, Souris, Alberton and other points along the line of railway can obtain their papers on arrival of the morning train from Charlotte- town.

It went towards Jonathan Adams’, jr. I only saw it go a short distance. It was a reddish boat. It was Cousins’ boat that I saw leave the shore. I am sure of it. The time was half-past six or seven o'clock ia the evening. I couldn't tell who the man in the boat was —think his clothes were dark. The boat didn't go back before sundown, The next morning the boat was moored a little further down the river than it usually is—it was not in its old mooring place. Where I saw the man cross the. river was up quite a little piece. 1 didn’t hear shots or screams or anything of that kind on that evening, T was at alecture, and got home about ten and went to bed. It wasa nice, clear, moonlight night.

I wasin the house part of the evening, and also in the field between six and seven o'clock, Iwasin my father’s potato field, near the Mud Road and the water ience. There is one field between—the distauce is not long. 1 saw Mr. MeKinlay there last fall surveying. I went down there for the cows snd saw a boat on the shore on one side. It was wbout seventy yards away. The boat vas n e end of the Mud Road. I saw @ person there. It was William Millman.

I did not look at the clock before I went for the cows; but I looked ashort time before, and it was between six and seven. It would take me about fifteen minutes to walk from the house to where | saw the man. I was going for the cows when lsaw the man. I didn’t tell my mother when I got home that I didu’t know who the man was. i can't tell what kind of a hat the man had on. 1] don't think his glothes were black.

James Somers (sworn)—Examined by Mr. P-ters—I live at Burlington, Lot 18 about two miles from Southwest River—on the sume side as Jonathan Adams, jr. I remem- ver the day onwhich Mary Tuplin disap- peared. J was down at the river that after- noon digging bait. It was about four o'clock, and I was there till about a quarter after five

o'clock. I can’t speak positively about the time. I came down through Jonathan Adoms’ farm, and then crossed the creek

where it is narrow ; then I went down by the marsh to Thompson's shore, where we dig the bait. When I arrived there I met George Bryetiton, and we dug our bait. Then we started for home. He asked me to cross in the scow with him. I did so, and we crossed over to Jonathan Adams’ shore and tied her o the fence. She belongs to Benj. Bryenton. There was a short piece of rope to her, not more than three feet long. ‘here was no other rope in the scow thatI know of. Bry- enton and I went together for perhaps. three- quarters of a mile. I saw him home. He wad not so far to go asI had. I afterwards saw the scow on Sunday, the 3rdof July. She was coming out of a little cove on Mill. man’s side. I saw John Covsins’ boat moored over at her place near the County Line Road. { met Jonathan Adams that Tuesday evening. He was working in his field, and I spoke to him for about ten minutes.

Cross-examined by Mr. Hodgson—I saw two young men on the shore while I was digging bait. They were just off Thomas Millman’s shore. We met on the shore. That wag a little after five o'clock. Bryenton had taken the scow over to Hiram Thompson's shore. Before I left home I was working amongst my. potatoes. I saw Adame about half-past five o'clock.

To Mr. Peters—I did not know the young met I met ou the shore. The young wen had one away before I crossed over to Adams’, t is a common thing to see young men walk- ing on the shore.

Donatp TvpLty, (ten years old) brother of the murdered girl, was examined by the Judge as to whether he understood the nature of an oath,(sworn)—Examined by the Attorney Gen- eral and ssid: J am a sonof John Tuplin and a brother of Mary. I remember the day Mary was lust It was on a Tuesday, My brother was buried ‘that day. 1 was home that evening. I went with Churchill Under- hill for Mr. Underhill’s cow. Gordon Bryenton and my brother Andrew went with us. We drove the cow past the Mud Road. The Mad Road leads from the main road. We went in the Mud Road leading towards Margate—the Mud Road comes out in two places. We went just as far as the turn, but did not go further because we saw a man there. The man was sitting down. He was sitting with his elbows on his knees, and his hands up to his face. He had moss or ferns in his hands, holding them upto his face. His clothes were dark. He had a _ hat on his head. It was between a brown and a black. He didn’t move. We made Oo ROise, but ran into the other read, and went back the same way we ~cam+ in, and went home. I said something to Mary. Mary was then washing the dishes. She stayed in after that about an hour and a half. The sun was down when she left. It was between sundown and dark that we saw the man.

Cross-examined by Mr. Hodgson—I was ex- amined before Dr. McNeill and Mr. Ready— the magistrates, I don’t know the day of the week. It was a good many days after the body of my sister was found. I said before the Magistrates that I saw the man about six O'clock, and that was true. I thought it was an old crazy man. I saw the prisoner e4 our aouse once. It was between Christmas aad New Years. My father, sister, Harvey Man- rderson, Archd. Bryentor, and my brother Jabez, were there. I den’t know when I)

went to bed. I slept 3 thar uight, F Nanterwm did not Op there feat night.

Millman came in the evening. I didn't know that the gate was taken off the hinges.

To the Attorney General—1 thought it was about six o'clock m the evening. It was after sunset,

Gorpon Bryenton (sworn)-—-Examined by the Attorney General, | know Donald Tuplin, also John Tuplin who was buried, On the evening he was buried | was with Donald Tuplin, Andrew Tuplin and Churchill Under- hill. Churchill was driving the cow home, I went into the Mud Road to frighten the cow, with Donald and Andrew. We went as far as the turn, and saw a man there. He was sitting down in the upper road, Donald Tuplin was ahead; 1 came next. The man had dark clothes on. He was sitting with his hand on his head. We did'nt stay long, but tarned round and went out. I went home. I didn’t know the man. He had on a dark hat, He didn't look at us. The sun was just going down.

Cross-examined by Mr. Tuplin told me that I was to come to Court. Churchill drove the cow to his house. 1 don't know who milked her. He tied her with a rope to a ring in the stable. 1 hadn't my supper then. I stayed with him about five minutes. It would take me about ten minutes to walk home. When I got home our cows had been milked and put ck to nasture, Supper was ready when I got home. They kept the supper for me. The sum was down when I got home

James Somers (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Peteis, said; | was not examined before the Magistrates. I live at Margate, about three-quarters of a mile from Mr. John Tuplin's house. . I have been married to his duughter about five years. I remember the evening of the funeral on which Mary Tuplin disapprared. I was on the Main Road (near the Mad Road) that evening. 1 went with my wife. We were in a wagon. I was driving her over to Millman’s. On walking back I passed the Mud Road. No one was with me. The sun was not down, but it was nearly down. I saw aman about half way between the Mud Road aud Tuplin’s house, There was wood all around. He was only about two or th:ee yards of the road. He was sitting dowa oa a bank under the tree. I saw him clearly. I looked at him fora second or two. He had his hand up to his head. His elbow was on his knee. He had ferns aronnd his neck. He had dark clothes on—J] don't krow byt black, He had on a brown straw hat. I was about three or four yards from him, I did not speak to him. 1 did not at that time know William Millman, I had never seen him, I saw him the day after he was arrested, on the road going towards Warren's barn. He is the same man that I saw sitting at the end of the Mud Road lam sure of that. lsee the prisoner now. That is the same man. When I saw Millman on the road going towards the road, he had a brown straw hat oa. The hat was low in the crown, with a narrow rim. After I saw the man at the Mad Read I went home and then ] went to the Methodist Church to light the lights, and stayed till the meeting was over. I lit the lights about hulf past eight. After twelve o'clock I left home and went to Clifton. I walked, and went out fishing in Richard Coles’ boat. After I saw the man I saw some little boys ahead of me. They were Donald Tuplin, William Tuplin, George Clarke and Andrew Tuplin, I spoke to the boys,

Cross-examined by Mr, Hadgeon—I was not examined before the Magistrate. I was examined at the inquest. I spoke of seeing the man in the woodethat night. I told the Coroner. There can be no mistake about that. I awore he hada dark hat on. It was a brown straw hat. It is correct to say he had a dark hat. If I swore to it it must be correct. (Long pause.) The biown straw hat is cor- rect. (Pause.) The dark hat was not correct.

would not awear that a Grand Juryman did not ask me if I knew Millman, I don’t mind. (Long pause.) 1 don’t think 1 was asked by the Grand Jury. I didn’t say before the Grand Jury ‘‘1 cannot swear whether that man was Millman or not.” (Long pause) I don’t mind. (Pause, ) I can’t answer that question. 1 said that | did not know the man. I did not state before the Grand Jury that I couldn’t say whether or not it was Millman I saw on the roadside. I cannot account for not being heard before the Magistrates. Itoid the Coroner about the manon the roadside. It was about eight o'clock that I got to the church. I lit the lamps as soon as I got there. I never saw villman before 1 saw him onthe roadside It wonld he about half-past seven. The sun set about halfan hour after I saw the man on the roadside.

AFTER RECESS.

James Somzers—Recalled at the request of the Jury. ,

To the Judge—I could not identiy the man when ] saw him in the woods. I saw him for the first time in charge of the constable. I identified him then asthe man I saw in the woods. Idid not tell the Grand Jury that I could not ideatify Millman then and there.

‘Yo the Foreman—If I see a man once I would know him,again.

ToaJuryman—I stopped and looked at him for a second, I took a good look at him. I have no doubt whatever that Millman was the man I suw there.

To the Judge~I was only two or three yards from him,

James Mutrart, (sworn)— Examined by the Attorney General—said: I reside at Margate. My home is in Fifteen Point ; but I work with William Pound. I know John Tuplin. I know where he lives. I remember the time Mary Tuplin was missed. I passed Tuplin’s the Sunday night before that—just

Hodgson. — Mr,

between the two lights. I was coming from Hillman’s. I was going home. Mr. Pound lives at Margate Corner. After I

passed Tuplin’s gate, I met three persons, and then sat down to fill my pipe. I sat there perhaps five minuies.. Miss Tuplin came out ot her father’s field. She came right up to me. She said, ‘‘Is that you Muttart?” I said “Yes,” She said, ‘‘ Did vou see any other young fellow along?” I asked her who she was looking for aud she said, ‘‘It is not any difference to you.” I jumped up then and saw a man coming, and I asked, ** Is that the man you are looking for?” He took out his handkerchief and covered the side of his face. I followed right after him. We just went about 20 sents then he turned back again. He never spoke nor changed his handkerchief. He went back till he met her. I looked around and saw him and Mary standing in the roal. He was close enough to put his hand on her shonider. Tho man was William Mill- man. I swear to that. Ihave no doubt about it. I lave seen im in our church at Margae. { did not kaow him personally. He hail very darx- clothes on, anda bown straw hat. It wasadark brown hat. Tiere was a kind of yellow cord around the hat. It was not a ribbon. - It was narrow in the 1im, and low in the crown, and rather longer than broad. I got home just after dark. It was on the Sunday: before the murder, the very night before her brother died, that I saw Millman on the road. I was at Margate cor- ner on the evening of the murder, There was a prayer meeting, but I was aot at it. 1 was out till between sine and ten, and then I went bome to Pound’s. I was home between nine and ten. Mr. Pound saw me go to bed, also William Brown aad George Hamiiton s.w me go in‘o tie house.

Alter coming from Kensington Frizzle said he thought he'd go out and awe how the boy was; so I says, I'll gowith you if you like. We drove ‘rizzle’a horse end wagon, We went into the yard, The

gate was wide open when we get there. We saw John Tuplin, Jabez Tuplin and George Profit. We asked how the boy was. The answer was, “* No better.”

Frizzle asked if he would go in to see him ; Tuplin said “* No, he is very low.” We lit ou

ipes. Tuplin or Profit gave us the matcles. lit three or four matches, but could not light the pipe. Profit then lit it and handed it tome and we drove off, We arrived heme about 10 o'clock and went to bed. Frivzle started from Pound's gate to go home. We did not touch Tuplin’s gate that night. We never got out of the waggon.

Cross examined by Mr. Hodgson—The Sun- day night on which | saw Millman was hot very dark, It was just_ between sundown ind dark. It would be about eight o'clock. I know Mary Tuplin to see her. I was quite a good little piece past Tuplin's house when I sat down to light my pipe. It was below the Mud Road on Woodside’s land. I did aot think there was any one there till I heard her come through the bush. I never thought or said there was any one with her before she came out. Iam slightly acquainted with Harvey Manderson, On the Wednesday night we referred to, we spoke to John Tuplin. He knows me slightly. It was after dark.

Witpa Somers (sworn)—Examined by the Attorney-General—I am the daughter of John Tuplin and a sister of the murdered girl. I was examined before the Magistrates. My hus- band’s name is James Somers, My sister was missed on Tuesday, the 28th of June. My brother died on the 26th, he was buried on Tuesday evening, the 28th. I was at my father’s house on that evening after the funeral. I left about seven o'clock. | think it was about that time. My house is between Margate and my father’s. I first went to Hillwan’s, at the ‘‘ Black Horse.” Frank Hillman gave me the horse and wagon, and I went home and got the baby. I left the baby at my mother's and t en drove to Hillman’s. My husband diove mea piece of the way. We passed the Mud Road—-myseif, my *ms- band, and baby, We saw noone. I parted with my husband at the schoolhouse, He turned round and went back home again, and I drove over to Hillman’s, My sister, Mrs. Hillman, was sick, and I went there to nurse her. I lid not go home till after my sister Mary was murdered. { don’t remember the day I went home. It was, I think, the day I was 4ub-. poaeee to the investigation at Warren's farm.

remember the Sunday before my sister was murdered. I was at my father’s. Archibald +} Bryenton was there. It waa afier nine o’clack, My husband was there with me. I saw Mary that evening, also mother, father and Javez. I spoke to Mary that evening. 1 knew Mary was about to become a mother.: f thought so. I believed so. I swear so. I didn’t know who was the father. I spoke to May about it on the Sunday before she wus raurdered, Idon't know that Mary was out of the house that evening. She was in the house when I was there. I have seen the

risoner. 1 saw him at Mr, Cannolly’s at eee a couple of years before the murder, but did not see him between the two dates. | did not know that letters passed between Mary and Millman. I didp’t see any letters. I saw Mary on the day before she was murdered. (The witness, overcome by emotion, here fainted away and was taken from the Court).

After some time the witness resumed : (Handkerchief shown)—I have seen it before. I couldn't swear that was Mary’s handker- chief. It's like one that 1 saw with Mary. There was a letter ‘‘ M.” like that on it. The letter was worked on with white thread just like that. (Witness here burst into tears). Mr. Hodgson said he would ask the witness no questions,

On Friday last the deck hands were allowed to return to their fomes. The captain, however, with three engineers, cook, steward and watchman, are ordered to remain in her for the winter. There is still open water off Souris, but the other side of the straits is packed with heavy ice, making it utterly impossible, at present, for the winter steamer, or, fur that matter, any other steamer that was ever built by the hands of man, to reach the Nova Scotia shore.
