Woopsrock, Ont., Sept. 29.
The defence brought the case to «a close to-day. Monday will be occupied by the lawyers. The addresses will probably
after which the jury will go out to de- liberate upon the guilt of R. Birchall, ac- | cused, of the murder of his friend Benwell, in February last. The defence may be
summed up as follows, Ist, That the Witness who swore te seeing the prisoner and the deceased in the
near neighborhood of the swamp that day were liable to make a mistake in the matter of description of both men and the deceas- ed which they were.
2nd. That Burchall and Benwell did not walk into the swamp and that the murder was not done there.
3rd, That it would be impossible for Birchall, if he had committed the murder, to carry the body any distance through the swamp.
4th, That on the morning before the body was found two men were drunk and going around the locality ina buggy, and that fact taken in connection with certain tracks through the snow, leading from the road to the swamp, ought to leave a reasonable doubt in the :ninds of the jurors.
