THE CIRCUIT COURT.

THE TRIAL OF THE OSBORNES FOR MURDER THE TESTIMONY IN THE CASE.

(From the Moncton Times. ) Dorcnester, July 22.

Court opened at 10 o’clock.

Mr. Palmer continued the cross-examin- ation of Annie Parker :—

When I lay in bed the night of the 11th, I heard McCarthy open the door. Then I started to get up. I thought it was Fraser until I got down stairs. It was 15 or 17 minutes before I got down. the hall 15 or 17 minutes.

Remained in Was in the bar- room about two hours or two hours and a front remained about half or three-quarters of an hour; then went up stairs.

I knew I was sworn at Mencton. What I told was the truth. I will stick to what I said there.

When McCarthy went out at 10 o'clock. I was standing in the dining room door leading into the hall. Went to kitchen, then into woodhouse, then into the ladies’ sitting room, where I remained a _ few minutes and then went upstairs to bed. During this time Mrs. Osborne was in the kitchen and went into the ladies sitting room, where I saw her when I went to bed. Harry was with her. Eliza was in the kit- chen when McCarthy went out.

(Counsel then read from deposition made at Moncton to show witness that she made different statements about times and where she went after the murder.) Witness de- nied what she had said in that statement. Witness affirmed that she had said Osborne twice tried on the coat in the kitchen, once when the coat sleeves were too long, and again when the coat fitted; the sleeves were not too long when he tried it on the second time.

Witness re-aflirmed story of conversation held in ladies’ sitting room after McCarthy went out at 10 o'clock about drugging Mc- Carthy. She then said: Never swore that Mrs. Osborne said she would ‘* mortifise” him. Idid not nudge McCarthy in the bar-room, only when the powder was put in his tumbler. I was laughing and talking with him. He did notice my nudge. Mc- Carthy did not touch Eliza or me while in tie bar-room, nor did I touch him, except to nudge him. Do not remember of swear- ing whether bar-room door was open at this time or not.

Palmer read from direct examination at Moncton where witness said the old woman took the money out of McCarthy’s pocket and handed it to Harry. Witness denied making the statement. She said: Mrs. Osborne put the money on the counter and offered me half.

About the rope she said: I thought it made no difference whether I said it was in the old bedstead in the room or whether it was merely inthe room. I say now, it was in the room, but not in the old bedstead.

I swore that Mr. Campbell, the dentist, left the house between 10 and 11 o'clock, saying he was going to Point du Chene. That was so.

I never said any silver was taken out of McCarthy’s pocket by the Osbornes that night. Palmer read Moncton statement where she (witness) said that silver money was taken out of his pocket. Witness re- plied : If that was written down it was either a true statement or I made a mis- take. Itold you last winter at Moncton that Iwould tell you what was true and what was false when I liked. Now I will tell you the truth except when I want to inake a little fun of you.

I saw the ‘‘ mortifisier” used in other bar-rooms. I will not tell you where. (Judge ordered her to tell.) I saw it used in Robert Gordon’s, Campbellton. It was some kind of powder. Saw it used several times. Cannot tell what times. ‘Saw it sometimes in paper and sometimes in a box. Saw people drink it in pale and dark brandy. Saw it put in large quantities of the liquor. Cannot say whether some peo- ple used it as essence of liquor to make liquor with, or whether some people used it as a drug.

Think I heard the clock strike three times the night of the murder—at nine, at twelve and either one or two, I can’t say which.

While McCarthy was drinking, Eliza and her mother were inside’-the bar. The ‘¢ mortifisier” was, I think, in a white paper on the second shelf in the bar. I never saw powders put in liquors to make them foam up. I wanted to tell McCarthy that they were going to drug his liquor, but I had no chance. He was too drunk when I gave him the nudge to understand me. I could not have done any more to save him

it had been my father. If it had been my father who was murdered, I would have helped as I did, for I had to doso. There was a light in the bar-room that night, and one (turned down) in Mr. Osborne’s room. When I went to bed there was alight in the hall, in the ladies’ sitting-room, and in Mr. Osborne’s room. John Osborne was not out of his bed that day. He came down stairs perhaps about the middle of the week. He was down the next Friday. The three appletree men came to the house on Friday, the 19th. They made the bargain for board, first with Mr. Osborne, afterwards with Mrs. Osborne. We fixed up the east front room—No. 1—on the same flat Mr. Osborne was, for them. (Here witness pointed out on the plan that the door lead- jing to Osborne’s room should be nearer

half; went to door and

4

NO, 355,

the head of the stairs—that is, toward the front of the house.) Passing through the hall to my room I could sce the light from Osborne’s room dimly. If the doors of the two east rooms were shué a light either in the hall or Osborne’s room could uot be seen from the front windows of these rooms. Before adjournment of court Dr. Tuck said he had a delicate matter to bring before His Honor. He believed the jury attended divine service yesterday and listened to a sermon in which capital punishment, the insufficiency of circumstantial evidence and other matters directly tending to influence men’s minds in the present trial were dwelt upon. He thought it exceeding bad taste on the part of the preacher.

Dr. Tuck said he acquitted his learned friend entirely from any complicity in the matter.

His Honor agreed with Dr. Tuck that such a sermon ai this time was in very bad taste, and he regretted it very much. —

Court then adjourned for dinner.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The cross-examination of the Parker girl hy Mr. Palmer was continued, but nothing not already known to the readers of the Times was elicited. Mr. Palmer questioned her about waiting at the door for Harry’s return ; about the absence of a light in the hall after McCarthy went in; about the night watchman ; how she put in her time after Harry’s return; about her walk up the Scadouc the Sunday following the mur- der and her tracing the wagon tracks ; her visit to the Scadone river with Marshal Steadman ; about seeing the wagon with “barrels” in it ; about the stone and Harry looking for it; about the bar-room door opening outside being nailed up ; about the tying of the rope around MeCarthy’s neck, and the removal of the body from the house, She said the shell shown her was the same as McCarthy wore ou his watch chain ; it was then placed near the middle of the chain. Hat shown to witness: She cannct swear that is the hat McCarthy wore, Over- coat examined: Witness shows on the coat how the sleeves could be shortened by cutting them without detection. She described the necktie he wore on the night of the 12th—she could notice it above his rubber coat, and saw the shirt down as far as the coat was buttoned; couldn’t say which*, button “(first or second) was buttoned. Witness continues;—

I got out of the wagon before they put the body in. I could net see whether there was blood in wagon or not, nor can I say whether or not he bled in it. When doors were closed anoise from below could be better heard inmy room than in Campbell’s, Campbell was not so sick at the time that he kept his bed. I did not close my bed- room door. I don’t know White the school- master at Shediac. I told last winter in Court about Harry’s having a rubber on one foot and a leather shoe on the other before I heard White’s story of having seen a man near the Scadouc River with his feet similarly covered. While at Mrs. McCar- thy’s I illustrated to them by getting a man to lie on the floor and myself, Mrs. Mc- Carthy and a young man lifting him, how the Osbornes carried MecCarthy’s body. I don’t believe in dreams. 1 dreamt last night they were going to kill me. I don’t recollect any man falling down drunk at Osborne’s while I was in bed two or three weeks after 12th October. I saw the wagon with the barrels in it on more than one day —I think two or three days. The box which contained the powder was about 8 in, long, 4 in. wide and 3 in. deep. It was a wooden box. The cover slid in it. The box was not painted. Gordon had the same kind of a box. The powder was a small round powder. It would not fizz in water. Iscrubbed the floor with a brush, but did not scrape it witha knife. There were cracks in the floor about } inch wide, The water I used was not very hot. I could obliterate the marks of the blood by scrub- bing. There were parties came in to have a drink that morning, but I did not know them. If any one says that I scraped the floor with a knife, he states what is not true.

Re-examined by Dr. Tuck:—I serped the

floor with the wooden part of the brush. I scrubbed about half of the bar-room. I scraped where the blood was thickest. I

scrubbed square from the counter to the wall. People were in the habit of coming into the bar every day. I did not notice the persons who came in on that day more particularly than on the other days. I don’t know where I heard the word mortifizr. I know the effect of the powder on brandy— it makes it darker and stronger. When Sheriff Botsford took my statement, he wrote it himself. He put questions to me —these I answered and voluntarily added statements also. I then stayed with Jimmy Blair on Tannery street. Sheriff said he would make me tell when I said that I knew more but would not tell, and [ replied that he could not make me.

Shortly after 5, witness complaining of a soreness in her throat, Court adjourned till 10 a.m., to-morrow, when her re-examinge tion will be continued.
