The Toronto Conspiracy.
MCKIM TELLS WHAT KIND OF A MAN HE
IS —-DISGRKRACEFUL GRIT TACTICS.
The bribery business in Toronto is grad- ually explaining itself. It will not be long before an intelligent opinion can be given, as to most of the parties implicated. McKim wax on tie stand at the police court all day Saturday. His evidence, as printed in the Toronto 7% legram, (Inde- Grit,) sufficiently explains the reason that Mowat did not want him
}called as a witness, though Mowat knew
that McKim was the man who knew the most in regard to the whole affair. McKim swore ‘‘that he first met Wilkinson during the Algoma election; that in January h« and Wilkinson discussed Pardee’s timber policy. He had also several conversations
| with Kirkland about the timber policy of
the Government. He next saw Wilkinson and Meek in the Mail building, where they agreed to give him $2,000, Last Sunday he received from Wilkinson $1,000, and signed a round robin agreeing to vote igainst the Government.” There is A MYSTERY ABOUT THIS ROUND ROBIN.
[t was at first asserted that McKim refused to sign this agreement. All the papers connected with the case were seized by I[n- spector Ward, who is a partisan official, being one of the men sent by Mowat into Algoma. When the papers were produced at the trial this round robin was not among them. It may be stated that defendants are now charged under four indictments :— One—charging Bunting, Wilkinion, Kirk- land and Lynch with an attempt to bribe Dowling by offering him $3,000. Two—the same persons and Meek ;are charged with an attempt to bribe McKim by an coffer of $1,500, and the Edmon- ton registrarship. Three— Wilkinson and Meek are chavged with an attempt to bribe Lyon (Algoma) by offering to secure the withdrawal of the petition against him. Four— Wilkinson and Kirkland are charged with an attempt to bribe Balfour, by ‘the offer of $800 and the registrarship of Ed- monton. Ail the defendants, except Kirk- land, elect to be tried by jury. He asks to be tried summarily. Ward being called to the stand, testified that he had handed all the papers to Hon. Mr. Fraser, but that he did not know whether he had received al] back or not. He did not count them, but had seen Mr. Pardee handle them. It seems clear that
THE MINISTER CAPTURED THIS DOCUMENT and put it away, also that ail the papers in the case were put in their hands, so that if any were damaging to themselves they were in a position to take care of them—a privilege which they certainly made the most of. The most that McKim testifies against Bunting is that the latter told him that no doabt any arrangement made by Wilkinson would be carried out. McKim swears that Bunting refused to give his name to the note that was to be given Mc- Kim as security for the fulfilment of the promise as to the registrarship, and also refused to give him money, though McKim asked for it. [This agrees per-

McKim says further that his first interview with Kirk- land was before McKim had talked with the government about the matter. He says, ‘‘I was spoken to by Kirkland about his timber grounds on Pigeon river. He warted to seenre the ten thousand acres of timber on the land he had purcha:ed from the Ontario government. Kirkland said he would pay as much as any other man for the timber. He asked me to help him get it. Kirkland eaid he did not care from which government he got it, so long as he
