also examined and measured sev-
aral bloodstuins on the wall near

Squarebrlggs experimented to see

not completed. .
M`r. Walter Duncan, said witness,
WHS an investigator from the De-
ll1\l'llll0¥lt Of JUSIICQ. At the Ellis
home he took a stateincnt from the
women members of the family.
They gave it very freely, 1-le did
not know exactly who Mr. Lucas
was. The latter had been in Sum-
merside off and on since March.
“Did~he tell you he had a state-
ment front the prisoner?"
.,Yes_..
“When?" -
“The first week in March."
Willie invariably every courtesy
had been extended to the witness
by the members of the family on
tho_last occasion the women hesi-
tated somewhat before giving him
the articles he wanted. Mr. Ellis
was not there then.
'Sheriff McNutt was examined by
the Attorney»General as to the safe
keeping ol' the exhibits. Mr. Staun-
ders was.asked as to the conduct
of the prisoner during his conflue-
ment,
-"I couIdn’t wish for any better."
he said,
Mr. W. J. Whitney, deputy pro-
thmiotary and Louis Blactlulere
were also eicamined. as to the care
of the exhibits. To Mr. Saunders
witness said that the prisoner actod
well. l-le found liiui a good reliable
chap and .gave hiin no trouble what
ever.
Daniel Steele, of Suinmersido, rc
nielnbered January 8tli.'llc drove
Constable Bradley i_o_ Harmony and
'was`in the decéi-1sed‘s room. The
body of Mrs. Ellis was on the
bed. Among other things in tho
room he saw a white canvass shoe
under the bed. A shoe was produc
ed which Steele said resembled
the one in question.
The witness drove the constable
and the prisoner to Siimniorslde.
The conversation centred on the
war and the flying corps. The prls
onor did not talk iuiicll. There were
no remrtriis passed which impress-
ed witness. »
At the time of the arrest Ellis
was wearing khaki pants and rub-
ber boais_ Regarding the prison-
er’s farewell Steele-corroborated
the evidence of Bradley.
Dr. Mc'I`nggart was re-called. hir.
Johnston asked llim-whetlier he ex
ainined the lint water- bottle.
“lt was examined on- both sides
and found to be hloodstained," re-
plied the witness.
Mr. Saunders took the opportun-
ity to question Dr. McTaggari. on
a further quotation of Taylor’s
Medical Jurisprutlcntze concernillir
rigor mortis, with which witness
disagreed based, he Said, oil tlully
experience.
Major lit-amfltt was re-called
and stated that his sister was
right-handed. To Mr. Saunders _ho
stated that hc did not know defin-
itoly whether his sister could use
both hands with equal facility.
Mr. .strong oddressctl the iurv
for the lloftnice. Hr said the pros
ct-_utlon luul now closed its case.
"In presenting thc case before
you he said, “thc prosec-
ution _ had before you ,the
people who were present ln
the vicinity at the time of the
tragedy. Also they have had do-
tcctlvcs, policemen and medical DX
ports. We wish to show you that
we have given every assistance.
Not only the prisoner but the mem-
bers of the family have given vol-
untary assistance. We have hid-
den nothing and wish to lay all
the circumstances concerning this
said tragedy.
“We will show you how this
young man started out at an early
nge for himself. He went to the
States, then to Western Canada
settling in Port Arthur. When the
war broke out he went overseas.
Ho met his wife there and rt close
attachment grew. He went to
France and later was wounded
and name back to England to servo
on the instructional staff. Before
sailing for Canada he married his
wife."
Mr, Strong wont on to discuss
the life at Harmony; how the pi-ln
oner immediately set to work on
the farm carrying on his duties
until his arrest.
“His wife was n nurse accus-
tomed to the life in large cities.
Sho was fond of excitement and
pleasure. 'Shortly after her arrival
