At this point the Court took recess for an hour.

After reces~ Mr. Fitzgerald resumed his address, referring to the dying “deposition of Mrs. Murchison, and quoting authori- ties bearing upon the value of such depos- itions and the weight they should have with the jury. He did not want to say a word of disrespect for the dead, but at the same timethey must have a feeling Of justice fur the living. He asked the jury if they considered a deposition written out when a@ woman was not dying, and which was suosequently read over to the woman when she thought she was dying would have the same effect as one taken from the

tine. What weight can von ataitach toa statement word of which was read over in the presence of her husband sitting by her bedside, and he suggested that certain things be put into it. The lnsband got her to clear him, it having heen reported that he had caused her death. She knew that theae reports were in circulation. Was she ever asked if her husband struck her? What a flocd of light would have been thrown on the matter had the prisoners, their counsel or anyone on their behalf been there to ask questions? Was she ever asked why her husband ealled her down? But weak in body and mind, wither love for her hus- iand and child, what can you ex- pect? The evidence that Mrs. Murchi- som died from violence is so slight that n body of m n, would brand these men as xunty Of man Jaighter. Their depos-

every

ition goes for nothing. New, he went on, let us test the struth- fulhess of Murchison’s evidence. He

says he did not drink with Gillespie; Rob- ertson says he did. Again, in his evi- “I told R. B. Stewart that it (the apology) was not a settlement of the prosecut:on—only to show that the blame was not on me.” R, B. Stewart, however,

denee he FAVS:

concerned it was a settlement. The Doctor saw the inconsistency in his conduct, and now swears there was no &et- tlement. Again, look at McKachern’s evi- dence, whose drinking does not -tamp him an untruthfalanan. It throws a light on this dark transaction, He takes you back a year, and says he saw Murchison drink- ing, and was drinking with him. He was also at Murchison’s 01 Ash Wednesday, when the Doctor gave him money for whiskey. During this visit the Doctor struck his wife and ealled her the same name he called her on the night of the row, as sworn to by Gillespie and Me- Nevin and young Gillespie. MeEachern had no antipathy to Murchison. If the doctor struck his wife once would he not do it again?) McEachern’s e¢icence is at least as credible as that of Dr. Murchison.

the whole case—doubt as to the criminal, doubt as to the crime, and doubt aa to the cause of the woman’s death. Was there an attempt to show that the prisoner’s evi- dence was not reliable ? Unquestionably not. These men ask not for merey but for justice between man and man. Doctor Murchison sod on the sta vd without ascarora scratch; vet he rays his wife was brutally |esten. Why did he not protect her at the risk of his own life? On the other hand, Gillepie had his finger broken afid a cuton his heal. The jury must come in and say they have no doubt of the guilt of these men. Is there a

enough to the woman todo her a bit. of harm. Except when Murchison says both men threw him down and had him by the throat after knocking his wife down and tramping on her. When you have made up your minds that these men are guilty of manslaughter, you must be able to show upon what piece of evidence you make it. Such evidence has not been given you, and in this case they should be allowed to go free.
