Westey Myexs (sworn)—Esxamined by Mr. M. MeLeod.—I did net know that one of the girls at my place was the missing witness, 1, zzie Stewart, until she was taken away by the officer. I took the gis] to my houve myself. [think I found her at Me- Kenna's, on Queen Street, on either # Tharsdsy or a Friday night I took her from there, | vever saw her before that night Idon't kaow who got me t» take the girl from M-Kenna’s to my place. | evn't tell whohes wastiar told me to take ber I came to town that morning. I did net come in for the girl. 1 had other busi- ness to attend tu. I left, L think, with the girl, about nine o'clock. I[ suppose it was about an hour befvure this time that [ was asked by a man to take the girls out. The man l refer to knew me, but I did not know him He met me near the Market Hoeuse, on the sidewalk. This was about dusk. He asked me if | would drive a couple cf girls to the Capes. I said |

woull, Lt am not in the habit of driving girls to the Capes This man did net say wie the girls were. I at once

consented t» drive them I was always kind to the women—and if I could do them a favor | would do it. 1 drove the girls to my house instead of tothe Capes. It woul) take «about tive hours to get tw the Capes from tewn. I had the girls at my house nearly two weeks. They said they were in nv hurry to go. My wife nevded assistance in the house, and we kept them. We stirted for the capes on Saturday night —about 2 o’cleck—so as to

eross carly next morning. It was raining,

and we tucaed back after going some dis- tauce. The girls never told me that they wanted to be hidden--and [ had no sus-

picionthattheydid. never told Lizzie Stew- art that [ was to buy her aticket, I sup- pewed the girls hal money enough to pay their own way. I am gomg to swear to and sign my name to what I have said. The people may believe it or not, as they think proper. There was no mention ot pay mide to me by the man who asked me to drive them to Cape Traverse. He dij not ask me to keep them at my house a fortnight. 1 don't kaow who the man was. I think he wore an overcoat. I don't know whether he wore a hat oracap. I was in conversation with him but a few minates. I met him near Chappelle's. J wasat the foundry and at Hugh M «aaghan’s that dey. [ may have met Mr. Morson at J. D. MecLeod’s corner one day but | can't remember what day. I think 1 was

in Mr. Morson’s office on the day that | drove the girla to my house. I did not see Mr. Chester McNeill that day. I don’t

think I weoull know him. I saw Mr. Jas. Sutherland that day. I met him near Ber & Goffs. It may have been in the afternoon. [ hired a truckman to take home some castings I bought that day, as | found they were too heavy for me tu take, and my sleigh was amall. The man who asked me to tke’ the girls to the Capes told me they were at M-:Kenna's, and my horse was at the Osborne. Before 1] harnessed up I called at McKeuna’s and told the women I was going to take them up. I think I and another man had adrink before my going tu McKenna’s. I think it was at Caliaghan’s we had the drink. John M:Kenna was with me I think [ met McKenna shortly after [Thad seen the other man. I[ don't think | told him about meeting the other

man. | then went to the Osborne and had tea. When [ got to McKenna’s I went in

the front door. I saw «woman there. I don’t know her. I said J wanted to see a couple of wemen who were there. She showed me up stairs. I aaw the girls there and told them I was going to drive them to the Capes. They said it was all right, or something to that effect. I drove them to my house—getting there between 12 and 1 o'clock. They were all as'eep in the house when I arrived. I put the giris to bed with. out ealling up my wife. I told my wife next morning that there was a couple of gitls at the house whv were on their way to the Stites, and who were to stay there a lew days. I think it was onthe afternoon ef thet dey that the girla tuld me they were inne harry abeat going. I was going tu Mmcton on business, but hearing that [ was wauted here [did not go. The girls were outside my house while they were at my plice, They were uot kept hidden. I did not know tbat one of the girls at my place was the missing witness, Lizzie Stewart. I take the papers—Tgp Ex- AmINeR. Patriot and Journal. I did nut ask the girls their names, and I do not know what names they gave while at my house. I did not enquire where the girls cama trom. 1 never asked their names. 1] was at the cape while they were at my house. Only the opposition boats were running. Sheppard Allen was the captain. Idid not tell him that I had two women to send over. it was « week after I took the girls home that I went to see Allen. It was about the middle of the week; [ am not gure. I did net take the women with me then. I don’t think Lteld them that I was going to the capes. IL had heard that the bailiff was coming to my house. A man in Cape Tra- verse teld me,—Mr. Strang I did not tell Strang that | had them. He said the ofticers had found out they were at my house. I doa't know whether the girls were hiding

out where they were, and that he would be after them that evening. I didn’t admit to him that the girls were at my place. “Oh,” said I, “If they are, I am innocent of it.” I supposed that the girls had money, until I heard here to-day that they had not, I was not going to put rmonuey on them. i was not to pay their

passage to Boston. 1 would rot have bought a ticket for them. J never told Muiggie Stewart that I had the money to buy their tickets. I

thought they had lots of money. They weren't on service at our house atall. I know Brown, the horse jockey. He was at my place. He got up about 4 o'clock last Friday. That was after the girls left. I never heard that the women were At Brown’s. We were talking about the women coming into town. Myson brought M»ggie Stewart intotown. Brown told me {had better come into town about these women, Brown and I talked about pro- duce and horses. He dida’t talk to me anything about the women, I didn’t expect Brown to come to see me. We came into town together that evening, I stayed at his place that night. We arrived in town between 11 and 12 o'clock on Friday even- ing. I spent Saturday intown. I didn’t ‘peak to anyone about the girls. I stay usually at the Osborne House, But I stayed st Brown's on Saturday and part of Sunday. { went down on Sunday to the Osborne House. I saw Mr. Sutherland on the street. Heasked me about thetrot. He «id nothing about the trial, It was near Sutherland's office coor that I met the man. [ was nut offered pay or reward if I ot the women over by way of the Capes, What I lid was purely voluntary for this unkaown erson.

F. T. Carrer (re-called)—To Mr. Me- Leod.—There was something said about wisoning when I talked with Mrs. Weeks m the train. Mrs. Weeks said that Mrs. Sutherland had been taking poison since the tirsc of October. 1 don’t know whether t was a fact or not. She said that she sas anxious to find out whether Mr. Sutherland had turned on her and that if ne had turned on her it would’nt be good for him. She said something about a revolver. If, she said, Mr. Sutherland had turned on her, she wanted me to do her «a favor, which was to give her a evolver and thit she would shoot him or something to that effect. She said that she would be satisfied then, or that she would die happy, or sumething to that effect.

To Mr. Peters—I stated all that [ was asked the other day. I answered all the questions. | swear that Mrs. Weeks said

that Mrs. Sutherland had been taking poison since October. I can’t remember that she said anything about Dr, Johnson. 1 will not swear that Mrs. Weeks did not

had been taking poison since October. Che pspers were full of it. I won't swear that Dr. Johnson’s name was not men- tioned. I kept back the story of the revolver when I was here before. I was not asked about it and I didn’t tell. I believe that the information about it came from the Police CUfficers. The Marshal heard some of the conversation between us. IL didn’t tell anyone else what Mrs. Weeks said respecting the revolver except, perhaps, my own wife.

Mr. Myers (recalled).—To Mr. Malcolm McLeod—

Question—Did you tell these women in McKenna’s house that you had the n oney to buy their tickets for them ?

Auswer—I did not.

Qestion—Did you say, when you went into McKenna’s, that you called for the two Miss Stewarts ¢

Answer—l did not ask for Miss Stew- arts,

Lizzie Stewart (recalled).--To Mr. Mal- colm McLeod— Myers touok me away from McKeuna’s. He said to us, while in Mc- Kenna’s, that he had the money wo take us away. 1 have no doubt about that.

To the Magistrate—He said, when he came up stairs, that he was to take two Mias Stewarts from there. He said that he nad the money then in his pocket to take us. He knew my name when we were in his heuse.

To Mr. Peters—Mr. McLeod asked me, since | was on the stand before, if Mr. Myers knew who we were, and I said that he did.

Macete Stewart (sworn)—Examined by Mr. M. McLeod.—I ama sister of Lizzie Stewart. I have not lived in town fora long time. 1 lived at Mr Frank Haszard’s for about a year and a half, and I lived at Me. Hol Haszard’s about three months. It is about six years since I left to go te Boston, I do not remember much about the town, I was at Mr, Myers’. Myers found us at McKenna’s. We spent the night before at Brown’s. 1 didn’t know Brown then. I saw him in the court this morning. I walked to Brown’s with Richard Curran from Doyle’s. I don't know who showed me Brown's house. Curran stepped off and then another man came up and ehowed us into Brown's. We were quite handy to the house when Curran left us. The other man showed ine into the house. When I met the strange man I didn’t know that I was going into Brown's. He didn’t goin with us) Mrs. Brown met us at the door and showed us up stairs. [| don’t remember having seen Browu that night, —r any other mn fter we entered the house That night when we went to Brown’s we had no idea of going to se Traverse. J hadn't my mind made up. had no money. When we left Doyle’s I thought we should stey all night at Ouiran’s. We went next day to Mo Kenna’s. Some geptleman showed ys to McKenna’s. Hedidn’t say where he was going totake us to. I don't know his name. We got to McKenna’s between 10 and 11 o'clock. We were shown up stairs. I hadn’t the slightest idea what they were going to do with us. J knew that I was go- ing away with my sister. I think it was at Curran’s that we made up our minds to go away. I think that Myers said he was go- ing to take us tothe country. We con- sented to go with him. We left McKenna’s about nine o'clock. We tried to go to the Capes on Sunday morning. Mr. Myers and his sen were with us. I think that Richard Curran said that my way was to be paid, but I can’t positively swear who said ‘so. Idon’t remember that the man who called at McKenna’s said anything about finding the money for us. One of the Me- Kenua’s told me that the man who was to _ake me away was McKay. He never ask- ei memyname. i didn’t hide my name fom him. 1 don’t remember of his calling

me anything. I think that they called me

‘KD, O, For Everybody.

‘that the constables were afier us,

Maggie, and my sister Lizzie. to be kept at Myers’ house. waiting for a chance to cross.

We knew

‘knew whether the Myers’ did or not. I

say that she heard that Mrs. Sutherland }

don’t know whether or not my sister went against her will. 1 don’t know who was to get my ticket. Lizzie was taken away from Myers’ by Bradley. When Lizzie went away, I didn’t know what I should do, wus to get my ticket for me. I didn't make any arrangement with Myers. I didn’t know that [ was to get any money for staying away from Court. I expected that my way would be paid, and Lizzie’s way too. I came totown on Friday. | walked right up to Doyle’s. IL was at Brown's at dinner to-day. Mrs. Brown and some young fellow were at dinner with me. We didn’t talk about what evi- dence I was to give. De:

Joux McMvurnovan (sworn)—Examined by Mr. M. McLeod.—I was employed to take a parcel from Dr. Johnson’s to Mr, Best, in St. John, New Brunswick. Dr. Johnson handed the parcei to me and | delivered it to Mr. Best in his own otftice. I know P. S. Brown. I was at Brown's the night the girls disappeared; also on the night befure— Wednesday night,when I saw David McKay there and Mr. Sutherland. I think it would be about 11 v’clock at night. That wasthe nighc before the wit- ness, Lizzie Stewart, came totown. | went into Brown's about 10 o’clock and left there at about 11 o'clock. Mr. Suther- land asked me what witnesses they were Jouking for, and I told him I heard it was for Miss Tierney, of Lot 65. She is now Mrs. Cierkin.

CHARLES “aMERON (City Marshal) sworn ~Examiued by Mr. M. McLeod.-—I got a warrantagainst Mcs. Weeksand proceeded tu Sc. John with it. I found Mrs. Weeks in the Dufferin Hotel and arrested her there. She was not registered at the hotel. I got the warrant endorsed at St. John; and I brought Mrs. Weeks to the Island and returned the warrant into Court.

To Mr. Peters.—Coming down on the train Mr. Carter sat on the seat next Mrs. Weeks. I did not hear the conversation they had. I did not give any information as to what Mrs. Weeks said to Mr. Carter If I had heard it I would have given it—no doubt about that. I had no difficulty in finding Mrs. Weeks. She was known at the hotel as Mrs. Weeks. That was the name she was going under.

To Mr. MeLeod-- 1 had an idea that Mr. Carter and Mrs. Weeks were talking about the case, but did not hear what they said.

Court adjourned.

Wepnespay, April 2.

Mor.iry Mysrs (sworn)—Examined by Mr. M. McLeod.—I am a son of Wesley Myers. I remember that two girls, Maggie and Lizzie, were at our house. I didn’t know the girls names were Stewart. 1 swear to that. My father brought the girls home on Friday. ‘The first I saw of them was on Sunday. They were in the sitting reom on Saturday. 1 heard they were in the house, but 1 didn’t goin to see them. My father told me on Saturday that he brought them up on Friday. I heard them cajling themselves Lizzie and Maggie I kuew they came from Charlottetown and that they were on their way to the Capes, ‘They were at our place about a fortnight. I don’t know why they stayed so long. I suppose they stayed there because there was po chance for a crossing. The boats were crossing, but there was no chance to take them to the Capes The weather was against it. They were not particular about going. I don’t know why they were not particular about going. I suspected that Lizzie was the girl that was looked for I thought by what I saw in the papers that she was Lizzie Stewart. [ had some idea that it was Magvie Stew- art. They were at the house about a week before I knew they were the Stewart givis. I knew they were hiding. I didn’t give in- formation to the oftlicers. I don't know how mavy days in the fortnight the weather was so bad that they could not go. They didn’t leave our house sooner for fear that they would be taken. My father went once or twice to the capes; and he reported when he came back that he didn't think it would be safe. He thought they would be taken. He got me to drive them over on Sunday morning. The weather wasn't fine, We left between one and two o'clock in the morning. We turned back because it rained. 1 wasn’t sinuggling her at all. My father ordered me to go. He said that he was going to Moncton. I knew that the constable was coming. My father told me sotwo hours be- fore the constab’e came. L zzie was taken on Wednesday evening. The other girl stayed till Friday. I bronght Maggie into town and left her on the street. I then went to the Osborne House. I afterwards saw Kennedy, the sailmaker, and Divid Small. I was alac into the lawyers—M:- Lean and McDonald's. My father came into town the same Friday with Brown. 1 don’t know who was to pay the girla passage. The girls were working round the house and made themselves useful. I don’t know why they came to our house. My father never escorted girls to our house before. I didn’t see their hair clip ped. They were in the house four ur five days before their hair was clipped. 1 came to town yesterday morning. I would hardly know Brown if I saw him. I saw him and spoke to him, but not about the girls. Brown didn’t know me before. My mother was subpewused, but is not bere. She is sick. She hasa bad cold. She is up Nothing more serious than a bad cold.

Bradiey brought Lozzie int» town on Thurs- day. We were to appear next day. When we promised yuu to appear, we intended to appear in court next day. I came to court myself; but Lizzie did not. here was an offer of money made to me on Thursday night if Lizzie would keep away. Three hundred dollars were offered... The man told me he would give Lizzie three hundred dollars if she would keepaway. This of- fer was made in Mr. Curran’s kitchen, where I was warming my feet. It was after dark,—a little after dark. The man told me that his name was Brown. I had never saw him before. I told himthat I would have nothing to do with him. No one was in the kitchen but myself and Brown when the cffer was made. He came in at the back door, and asked me if my name was Mrs.

He is English and lam Irish. Perhaps that is why he didn’t tell ma that the girls were at his house. He kept it a secret. We had no conversation about the girls after the girl was taken.

Mary Janet Srewarr (sworn)—Examin- ed by Mr. Morson —I was at Mrs, Weeks for 10 or 11 months, There was poison in a bettle in Mrs. Weeks’ house—a little round bottle. it was kept in the pantry. The bottle was three or four inches long. I heard it said inthe house that it was poison. 1 heard her brcther say it was white, lt

poison. It was was nut the same poison that I saw in the paper—I don't think it was The poison was there when I left. The

bottle was not moved, to my knowledge. | could not reach it off the fluor, but L could reach itif I got ona chair, I left Mrs. Weeks’ in the fall, about a month before Hollow E’en, the year befure last. I don’t know why the pvison was kept in the house, it was used to poison the dog. But the dog wouldu’t take any sort of poison.

She poisoued the cats with poison which was kept in a paper. I won't swear that the same poison was not put into the bottle. I don’t know whether it was or was not. [remember about the time she got it. She put it away sv that the children wouldn't get it. So far as I know, she got poison vnly once. I never heard her say that she got poison twice. I don't know whether it was the same poison or not. It was shortly after | saw the poison in the paper that I saw it in the bottle.

Joun McKenna (recalled) — Examined by Mr. Morsun—Did you take those girls from Brown’s to McKeuna’s ?

[Witness, exidenily taken all aback, ask- ed if he was compel ed to implicate himself. (Sensation) The M wistrate thea explain- ed that the question had been taken down, and thst he might refuse to answer it on the ground stated.

Answer—Well, I did not take the girls. (A laugh). I had nothing whatever to du with them. (Laughter).

Witness explained chat he was tired waiting so lung in town, and wanted to havea bit of fun. In print of fact he had not, he said, been at McKenna’s the past two years.

Wester Myers (re-called)— Examined by Mr. M. MeLeod—Brown drove me tu town on Friday. He went to our place ou that day. He was telling me there was a

party at Pictou wanted some oats and potatoes, and as he knew that I was dealing in that kind of stuff, he came to sea me about i.

| hadn’t potatoes and oats on hand. He wanted them to be delivered in the spring I had no conversation with Brown before this winter. 1 told him I couldn't figure potatoes this time of year and that we couldn’t supp!y him with oats at less than 38 cents. He wanted «a mixed cargo of oats and potatoes. He didn’t say the price the man offered to give him. He said he wanted them at the opening of navigation. { think Brown said that he supposed that I would be taken and that i had better come to town. I intended to come any- way. I saw David McKay when | was at Brown’s and Mr. Sutherland also, and several other parties. McKuy and Suther- land were there on Saturdsy wight playing ecards I wasn't playing. I don’t play cards They were there between nine and ten o'clock. Brown was with them and Fred Robins. I think that that was the only time 1 saw = Sutherland at Brown's’ while I was there.
