ill a brief but eloquent address

10 U10 iury, Hon J. J. Johnston, opened the ease for the Crown in the Ellis murder trial ut Summer- sitio yesterday morning. The court- room was crowded.

>Mr. Johnston explained that it W-”lS his duty its counsel for the Crown to indicate the nature ol’ tho evidence to be adduced. At first be nmdo reference to the visit of the jury to the Ellis hottie on the previous afternoon. lie was sure tliu.t the jury would retain a ment- al piciiire of the surroundings and aspects and would apply their knowledge to u clear understand- ilii-I of the evidence.

“This trngeily," said (frown

t‘ounf-rel, “is one of the siuldest

that has ever occurred in this fair province. Thank God \ve have few. We are simple pastoral people. l’t-rlinps we have old _fashioned ideas us to moral rectitudo and as to the value of a human life. When \ve read in foreign news- papers of the tragedies of the larg- er cities whore the population is cmimopolltan anti all grades of society lntermlxed we, in this prov- ince; can hardly conceive of such things happening. It makes us feel very sad, indeed, when it comes home to- us as it has in this in- stance, but thankful, also, that it is of such rare occurrence."

Mr, Johnston then briefly out-

lliied the circumstances. On the evening of Jun. 7 the people of the quiet little settlement of Harmony i.ve'?~9 shoclced4't’erribly "sli0cked“- to hear that Alice Marie Ellis, the wife of Thomas Corbett Ellis, :in Engiisbwoman, and the daught- er of a Methodist clergyman, had been found dead in her bedroom in the house of her father-in-law, Will. J. Ellis. The first intlmatlon

lo the public was it telephone mess- age from Alex Murra.y‘s to Ilr. Stewart, Tyne Valley, informing him that.the deceased was found with her throat cut and that Site had committed suicide. Dr. Stew- art proceeded to Ilarmony_ arriv- ing at the Ellis home at 7.20 D. m. There were present at the time the telephoning was don he prison- er, nutn numn@f`u7i?W;m. T. Yeo.

“‘As will be related to you by

Dr. Stewart" 'he continued, “he ent-

ered the homc finding the prisoner in the kitchen. H9 enquired of nlm" if his wiic was dead. The prisoner

replied tim; hc did not know. Dr. .IS-tewart w nt upstairs and found thc deceased lu a kneeling position against the table. `

“I tliliik the Crown will cszub-

lish,” continued Counsel, “that the chin of the deceased was resting against the leg of the table, which was the only thing that kept the body from falling."

iMr. Johnston wont on to describe the steps taken, the summoning of the Coroner, and the subsequent inquest. The verdict returned was that of suicide, but thevpriscncr was detained pending further in- yestlgation,

Later on, said Mr. Johnston, the

Crown had the body exhumed, and portions of the neck and body re- moved. Tliey were sent away for exliert pathological examination. “W0 have in court" Counsel stated, "n professor of medical jurisprud- ence, perhaps the most eminent in Canada, Dr. McTaggart, of =Mc- Gill University who is an official examiner.

At the conclusion of (‘.ounsel‘s

Prisoner: “tCut her throat."

Witness: "is sho dead?"

Prisoner: "I don’t know." ‘Murray added that the prisoner

said as folowe:

“She has been insane for the

lust two or three days. I should have had her put away and locked up." , ,

The witness who served on the

Coroner's jury, described the posi- tion of the body as it was found at the -inquest. It was in n kneellngl posture, against the table with the loft leg outstretched to the rear. The head was above the top of the tublotho chin resting on the edge. The body looked as though it might tumble over any time. There was much blood on the bed and also ou a mirror which was resting at an inclination at the foot. Two razors and a pair of scissors were produced in court which the wit~ ness would not DOBIUVGIY itiilliiifl' as the ones which were in the room. The table which stood in the room was also produced in court and the witness demonstrated as tar as his recollection served him tho position of the razors and the scissors.

Questioned by Mr. Johnston the

witness said that he saw no Wuulid although he was quite close to l-he body. ‘ ' ‘ -~i`-iid'

“Could a person in your opinion,

stand at the door and .S96 Cui- Ui' wound?" asked the Counsel.

“I don't think so."

' Cross-examined by Mr. Saunders nn in me eifnrneten or the tsiiis fomil-y the witness stated that U10 prisoner was “n good fellow,'.' bull that he had nothing to say against him. He was ti good worker and

_boked Litjr his animals woll. He never kne him to drink.

The father, mother and Sister

bore very good reputations. Mr. Saunders produced it plan of the house and the witness was ques- tioned as to various details. ln view of the nature of the surround- ings he expressed the opinion that ri ninn jumping out of tho window of the doce:ised’s room would run great chances of being seen from his (Alex Murray‘s) ifouse, as well as from Alonzo Wllson‘s. Ho also said that the mother lying in bed in his room could not have had, in his opinion a clear view of tho landing between the stairs and der ceased's room. Witness was asked by Mr. Saund- ers as to the -conduct 0( the accus- ed on the evening of January 7th, particularly about his silence and inaction. But he finally admitted that he considered the prisoners conduct natural under the present circumstances.

-Mr. John Moilison, land surveyor,

produced a plan of the upper floor of the Ellis home. He was question- ed closely by Mr. Johnston as to its details. The important point involved was the possibility of a view. of the door of the deceased's room by a person lying oil’ the bed in the room occupied by_Mrs. Ellis, Sr. The witness said that it would he necessary for such person to

A witness who did not testify in

the preliminary investigation, Mr. Norman ‘McLennan, foreman of the Coroner’s jury was next called. In adrlitiou to being a farmer the wit- ness wlio lived a short distance from the Ellis home is also un amateur undertuker. According to his testimony he occasionally acts in that role when a regular one is not available. He told the court that he examined the body of the into Mrs. Ellis during the Coroner's

in a kneeling position--the right hand uplifted above the head and the left down but not touching‘ the floor. The fingers of each hand were bout and the hand was full of`blood. The head- was bent up as far as it would go and the mouth was wide open.

On the table there were also it number of books, a necklace of'beads and a calendar leaning against the wall. -There was n chamber on the floor about three feet from the

body and near the door. There was blood on the cover.

The witness stated that it was

that tho measurements of the room were: North to south, nine feet, 71/2 inches; east to west, eight feet, 11/, inches. The bed was four feet in width.

Witness replled definitely that the calendar was standing on the table leaning against the wall, the book being between it and the bed. Regarding the view of the body from the door witness said that a person standing at that point could see the blood on the 'right _hand but could not see the cut on the left.

The resolution in pant reads as follows: Whereas' the returned soldier and his dependents ,have already borne their,shnre of the burdens of war and contributed in

valuable servicesfto the -prescr- vatlon and prosperity of the state and whereas the recent increase in taxation as set forth in the budget will increase the difficulty of getting re-established in ii pro- ductive capaclty by gdzutiy aug- menting the cost of living, this house is of the opinion that all re- turned soldiers who have seen ov- erseas service should be exempted from the new taxation for a period of at least five years. ._._?____._-_--_--- give an opinion and appealed to tha' bench.
