‘The Jury Yold to do Their Duty Fearlessly.

; eee

AWAITING THE VERDICT.

SaTurpDay, Feb, 3.

Judge Hensley began his charge by directing the attention of the jury to the gravity and | importance of the issue which they were |calied upon to determine. He referred to the | vath which he himself had taken, and also the | cathe which had been takon by the jurors, and called upon them to ask God,—as they promised by their oaths when they said, ‘So | help me God,’ —that He might enable them to ; come to a right solution of the difficulties in. volved in the case, and to tieke a true de- liverance between the Queen and the prisoner fat the bar. As this is is a case depending j upon circumstantial evidence, the Judge briefly detined the natuve of such evidence, and said thac the jury must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt. It must, however, be re- membered that a case does not always depend upon a single chain of circumstantial evidence. There may be seyeral of such chains, and if one should be found to have a weak link in it, it by no means follows that the others may not be strong enough to establish it beyond a reas »nable duubt, Judge Hensley then pro ceeded to review the evidenee, drawing the conclusive thit Mary Tap‘ia left the house of her father on the night of the murder at between eight and twenty minutes past eight o'clock ; that a man crossed the river in Cousins’ boat between half-pist six and half- past seven o'clock ; that this man was identi- tied by Dorothy Aun Adams as William Miil- man; that a man was shortly afterwards seen by several boys and James Somers sitting at the end of the Mud Road, his face partially covered by ferns and leaves; that tuis man has been identified by James Somers as the prisoner at the bar ; that Millman was seen at hone at half-past six or seven; that, ac- cording to his own statement, he went down to the river-side, and was not seen by any of his family untal half-past te* or a quarter to e.even, or for a period of about three hours and a half; that the shots were fired at or near Southwest ‘reek, in the vicin- ity of the water fence at about ten vcloek ; that the man’s track in the sand was not, according to the evideace of Cun- stable MeKay, fully developed, and that whether or not it was the track made by the prisoner, was a question to be curefully con- sidered by the jury. Judge Hensley then eutered into an extended criticism of the evi- dence relating to the pistol and bullets which cause | the death of Mury Tuplin, covc!a ting that the pistol was in the posses ion of Mill- inan at the time of the mutder ; that he had purchased the cartridges at Summierside 3 that the bullets found in the girl's head fitted the pisto! and correspunded with the caitridges which rem ined in the pistol unexp’oded. As to the distance which would have to be coveredjhe pointed out that it was a quarter « f mile from the end of the Mud Ruad to where the body wus found, and thence to the residence »f Millman, three-quarters of amile, muking a mile and an eighth which would have to be covered by the prisoner (if he commited the murder) between the time the shots were fired and his return to his own home. The Judge then turned his attention to the question ot motive, quoting from the evidence of Profit, the teacher, but cautioning the jury uot to permit their minds to be warped by the consideration of evidence to preve a motive for the murder. Concerning the false story which the prisoner put into the mouth of Patrick Power and endeavored to get him to tell, he said it was a very suspicious cireums‘ance, His injunction to Francis Power not to tell that he had the pistol was also suspicions. What reason had he for making up a false story or for wishing to con- ceal the fact that he ha: the pistol! ? The stone which was found attached to the body had been in Cousins’ boat ; and according to the evidence Millman crossed the river in that bow on the evening ot the murder, and had it in his power to obtain and use te stone. This was a point to be considered Judge Hensley then re- viewed the evidence of Rev. T. B. Reagh for the defence ; and in conclusion enjoined the jurs to do their duty fearlessly and irrespective of consequences, and to render such a verdict as would be justified by their conscience.

The charge occupied the time from eight minutes past eleven until five minutes to four —with an hour's intermission.

The jury retired to their room at four o'clock. Their verdict is now being awaited with anxious interest.
