THE CASE FOR THE DEFENCE, Mr. Peters’ Address to the Jory.

EVIDENCE FOR THE PRISONER,

—

The Bileod on the Clothing.

New and Startling Testimony,

Callaghan’s Vest Identified.

Tuespay, Jan 26. Tue case for the Crown was convinuded at three o'clock this afternoon. Afier an intermissian of about ten minutes, Mr. Arthur Peters opened the case for the prisoner, and addressed the Jury as foll ws t—

My LORD, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE JURy,—lt now becomes the duty of the counsel for the pri- soner to State the natureof his defence. Before doing so, however, there are sundry dates which are most important, and which I| particulariy wisa the jury to make & note of—not as proved bs the Crowa, but as admitted by us, ‘The frat date I wish to call your attention w is Friday, the lth day of May, when Gillis is proved to have been at

marino We admit that be was. On Saturday, the 16th y of May, the Crowa proved that Gillis lef. M ronald 3s, weat to Souris and retaraed to

McDonald's. Weadmit that hadid so. Oa Suna-

day, (he I7th May, the Crown proved that he left McDonaid's, aileging that he was going to Char- lottetown, and we do no deny this either. These

Gates are m important, 80 pease note them carefully. On the isth of May, the Crown at that Gillis Came totown. We Geay luis, Un the 19th, according te the Crown, Gils remained tow, ana in attempting to prove this this they prove the contrary, by their owa Wilnesses. Ua e With May they proved, by the evidence of McMilian, thata man named Me Innis had been in town, and in his company. On he 31 attempted to prove

where Gillis was. Ve will show where he was, and that it was utterly impossjbie for him to have committed the murder, On the next day, they

say, Gillis went back onthe evening train. We will prove that he did not. The evidence we will De :

produce wii > of the most reliable nature What the Crown aivanced was thie: ‘ The gues tion for you to decide is, who killed Callaghan? if sou tiad that Gillis killed Callaghan. you will,

of course, know whoit wasthat killed him. No case based upon circunistantial evidence aver failed more signally than did this one. We will prove to your satisfaction that Gillis coult not have committed the deed. The Crowa left out of the chain of evidence a very important link. The omission of this link destroys the whole chain, and the prisoner cannot be found guilty. A prejudice has been raised

a@zZainsi the prisoner by the press of the country, witnout any evidence to substantiate their state ments. it has been stated by the pross, and sent

throughout the length and breadth'of the land, that the prisoner Gillis was a terrible man; that ne had committed murders in Australia, and God Knows what else, and all these statements are based upon the drunken ravings of Detective Skeffington, whom the Crown have not dared to produce before you, and I say that in this instance the Crown have acted untairly. and now I am sorry to have to say it of a British Court of Jus- tice, but before We came into Court we had not the most remote idea of the evidence against this man Gillis, The Crown would not furnish us with

@uy information whatever in the matter. In this case—the maa dcing tried for his life—the Crown refused the information desired. Yes, Gentile

men! the prosecution withheld f-om us all in- formation concerning what we were to be called upon to plead to.and it wasonly owing to the Oiliciousness of Mr. Cundali that we obtained 1

information by taking advantage of a leai tevnsicality, Had Mr. Cundall not been so oiti cious, We would yet be without that we go ecarnestiy desired. Gentlemen of the Jury, the fate of the prisoner is in your hands. it is for you to say, * This day thou shait live,” or “This day shalt thou die.” I believe that you will do your duty in the matter. If you think he mur- sered Callaghan you are bound to find him guilty;

if 5 iave any doubt whatever of his guilt, you are bound to give him the benefit of the doubt, as he Court Wil alsoinstract you, and your must

hought he would commence a lobster factory with my son, They commenced on the 20th of April ta haul lobster traps from Black Bush factory to Big Pond, They were about three days hauling; then they began to fixthem. They had some of the traps ready by May 13th—but not ail; but he would not go to put the traps out. On the afternoon of the 13th of May he took his valise and went to McDonald’s, as I supposed. He came back the day of the election about half-past seven or eight O'clock and, after dressing himself. left for the party. He came back to my house on Sunday, the 17th, after dark, about nine o'clock. He slept at my place. On Monday morning, the i8th, he left, saying that he was going to take the morning train for Mount Stewart. He came back on Tuesday evening about 10 o'clock. I let him in myself. That is the only time [let him in. It happened that I was out that evening late, running out trap lines. I have a memorandum of the date. When Gillis backed out of the fishery businessg) took it up, because I was responsible, and I toc & memorandum of the traps and all the stuff I got. (Memo, shown.) I made this memorandum myself. Those were the firstlines we put out-—the twodays before that were rough. [remember the 19th without any memorandum, Hestayed with us on the 19th. On Wednesday, the 20th, he put.on his rubber coat, as it was raining, and went to the Line Road to look for his watch. He did not come back that evening, but he came back about 6 oclock the next morning, Thursday. On Friday morning I left home about haif-pest three o'clock, and when I came back in the even- ing he was away. I saw him next on Sunday evening, the 2ith. He came to my house. He stayed that night. I did not see him again till Wednesday, the 27th, in theafterneon. He stayed with me that night. I went away on Thursday morning, the 28tm, and left him in bed. He left our house on thej3rd of June,and I have not since seen him till now. : lam positive that he was with us on the night of the 19th. To that date I swear positively. While he was with me he dressed to hogs. He killed the first one between Christmas and New Year's, and the last one in March, 1885. Gillis had two watches. The one he wore was a smooth back silver watch. (Chain shown.) The chain was something like that. I never had it in my hand. But it was like that, He wore that for eight or ten days after he first came back, and then he put on a black one. lie also wore a little ivory charm on the black chain. (Watch shown.) I could notswear positively tothe watch nor to the chain, (Valise shown.) He hada black valise very much like that. He had also a shawl strap like this, (Strap shown.) He had a trunk like this.

Cross-examined by Mr. Hodgson, Q. C.—I have had that memorandum book for about twenty years. I wasgvery particular about entering the days of the week relating to Gillis, because I was responsible and because I pul the lines out that day. I cannot say whether my wife saw me mak- the entries. (Counsel for the Crown called the at- tention of the witness to the singular fact* that al- though he had this book for twenty years, and had been making entries in it during that time, the only cases in which the day of the week was given in addition to the date, were in those entries relating to Gillis. After severa) attempts to get an explanation of why. this was so, the counsel gave it up.) I cannot say where Gillis was onthe 22nd of May.

Edinburgh, Then and Now.

Rev. Mr. Carrvurners’ lecture last night was a rich treat to all who had the pleasure of listening to it. The charm of Mr. Car- ruthers’ voice, his powers as an elocution- ist, a fund of knowledge and an aptitude for felicitous expression, were factors con- tributing to the success of the lecturs. Delivered as it was on the anniversary of Burns’ birthday, it could have no more fitting introduction than the Reverend lecturer’s happy tribute to the memory of the peasant bard. Speaking of Edinburgh, Mr. Carruthers mentioned authors who had immortalized its glories, awarding the chic f place to Sir Walter Scott, after which he described the beautiful situation of the city, which he compared with Florence, Venice and Genoa. Selecting the Canon- gate asrich in historic associations, the lecturer graphically portrayed the scenes enacted therein at the time of the battle of Flodden, and on the memorable occasion of Lord Lorne’s marriage in 1650, when Montrose was led to the scaffold. These subjects gave fit opportunity for the intro- duction of “ The Battle of Flodden’” and ‘The Execution of Montrose,’ both of which selections were touchingly read in Mr. Carruthers’ impressive style. After dwelling upon the historic asseciations of the Tolbooth or ** Heart of Midlothian,” and the curious ivscriptions so frequently fonnd sculptured over doors and mantel- pieces, the lecturer closed with an eloquent eulogy upon the claims of Edinburgh as a

place for study and literary pursuits, stocked as it is with libraries, endowed wiih rare natural beauties, haunted by

historic associations, pervaded by a con: ducive quiet, and peopled by a cosmos of intellectual men and women. The lecture, wilty, amesing and impressive in turns, was a delight to ail who beard it, and a great loss to all who unfortunately missed it.

The following day, amid the flying of rice and slippers, the happ eouple, followed by their friends, drove to their future home in Wood Islands, with the best wishes of their numerous friends aad acquaintances,
