A correspondent of the St. John Globe, who is evidently much interested with the above case, writes as follows: At the in. | quest it was discovered that the only pro- perty that was missing, belonging to Callaghan, was a silver watch and chain of a peculiar pattern, also a half-sovereign attached toe chain. The peculiar feature about this half-sovereign is that Callaghan had the hole bored in it so that the Queen’s head hung up-side-down, In October, 1884, a man named Gillis returned | to Souris, after an absence of 14 years. | Simultaneously with his return a series of robberies took place in Souris and the neighborhood. About three weeks after the Callaghan murder Gillis was arrested for one of these robberies and in his possession was found a watch and chain which a number of witnessess awear to as being Callaghan’s. The half-sovereign hav- ing the same peculiarities in regard to the hole in it as the one owned by Callaghan was.also.traced to Gillis, Your correspon- dent paid a visit to the jail (incognito as far as his connection with the press is con- cerned) and saw Gillis. Ho seems to take his position with considerable sang’ froid. He is about 35 er 37 years of age, Sit. os in. high, muscular looking, has fv!l brown beard and moustache, grey eyes and a nervous manner. He denies being the Alexander Gillis whose record Inspector Watts, of the Boston police, gives as fo!- lows: ‘ Alexander Gillis received a sentence of five years January 31, 1877, for robbery at Gloucester, and on Feb. 3rd, 1882, got three years more for burglary. He was discharged from the state prison Sept. 12, 1884.’ If this is the same man he must have come to the Island a month after his release, as he was first seen at Souris in October, 1884 At the time the murder was first discovered, the services of a Canadian oflicer, who has an experience of 15 years in working up cases of crime, wes obtained by the P. E. Island government, aid he has been on the Island time and gain. I may mention ‘en passant’ that one of his men is constantly about Souris and Charlottetown disguised as a tramp. It is rumored the case will not be tried in January, as was at first proposed, bat would be deferred until spring, to enable the de- tectives to collect as much evidence as possible, the difficalty being the peculiarity ia the witnesses not liking to give iuforma- tion for fear they will get the namo of in- formers. A << Big Customs Steal. A DISHONEST OFFICIAL AND TWO BUSINESS MEN FLEE TO MEXICO, BUT THE FORMER RETURNS. The Assistant Commissioner of Custome arrived at Montreal from Ottawa, on the 9th inst., for the purpose of holding an in- vestigation into the Brosseau-Lizabelle frauds. The investigatian will take place in the special agents department, and will be held with closed doors. Lizabeile. who was arrested a few days ago, while in Can- ada. on his way to Montreal, and gave bail, renewed his bail at the police court on the Sth. He will be examined, and it is anticipated that he will make some import- ant disclosures regarding, not only the firms which are alleged to be implicated, but also empleyes of the Government. Uzabelle has handed over tothe customs authorities mauy important documents, which help to throw light on the swindles, and which the customs authorities were un- able te precure, as the firm had been dis- creet enough to burn their books and papers prior to their flight, Les Experience du Voyage relates in a most graphic manner the flight and doings of the two partners since the moment they left Montreal, to Chicago and New Orleans, and up to the time they arrived at the city of Mexico. ‘Shey were continually sus- pecting they were being followed by detectives and when, at last, they saw Robinson, the St. John forger arrested in Mexico, and extradited for forgery at the instance of the Bank of Montreal, their coursge forsook them. Lizabelle determined to return hom. before all his money was spent, while Brosseau made up his mind that Mexico was no place for him tv live, and by this time has probably moved off to some other s'ate. It is a mistake to suppose the partners reaped much of a harvest out of the frauds. They do not amount to more than $35,000 or $40,000, of which Bros- seau and Lizabelle only received about $15,000 or $20,900; $12,000 of this is now in the hands of a relative of theirs in Montreal, who will, it is said,probably re fund it ‘o the government, while the balance was expended in travelling expenses, The accomplices who are believed to be still there, shoved the balance of the big steal, but the authorities are hopeful of bringing them to justice and of compelling them to disgorge. The charge upon which Lizabelle is held to appear before the police magis- trate is passing fraudulent customs returns. Apples, Oranges, &C.
