His seat in Parliament was endangered, but he he did not consider that anything if he could succeed in clear- ing the prisoners from the foul slanders laid to their charge. If he did not succeed the next thing would be that a decent man might unconsciously take a harlot in his house, and she could swear the lives of his, whole family away. From the fact of her being a stranger here,the Crown 1s certainly to blame for not having made a thorough investigation of her character before indict- ing people on her story, who had been honest, respectable people heretofore, though he felt thoroughly convinced that McCarthy was never murdered, yet he might be wrong; but he beimg mistaken does not determine the prisoners guilt or innocence. But he felt satisfied the pris- oners at the bar were as innocent as him- self. He then referred to his cross-examin- ation of Mrs. McCarthy, and said the reason he expressed himself the way he did to Mrs. McCarthy was, that he did not con- sider it her place to go through the Os- bornes’ house the way she did, without leave or license. He (Mr. Palmer) would now call the Court’s attention to the circumstances of the case. He did not believe man would murder man without a motive. He could read the secret of the fact, and he wished the jury to follow him in what he considered a fair hypothesis. He could not nor would any reasonable man believe that a mother would commit murder, not only in the pres- of her son and daughter, but also get them to assist in that which would secure damnation to their ownselves. Such a theory, inference or conjecture 18 stamped a lie by the God of nature, and will require the most powerful evidence to make him be- lieve it. ‘Then another solution must and can be arrived at. McCarthy takes his horse to the Weldon House when he finds his wife has followed him. He put his horse up for the night with no intention to take him out; then from proof it is evident he intended to go to the Point that night. Then notice his whereabouts at Shediac, showing that he must have been intoxicated and intending to walk to_ the Point, and the possibility of his head being turned round, and he went up the road instead of down. Here the counsel showed cases of the head being turned off even sober people. It had been said that Chip. Smith was the last man who saw him. Hickey, the watchman, had heard him when he left Smith, step on to the railway. No other person tells of him that night but Annie Parker, whose history he 1s prepared to prove has been misrepresented by her, and, consequently. her testimony 18 nothing. : Then, on the Lith of May, McCarthy's body is found floating in the Scadouc, with no mark behind the ear, but a mark on the face, which could be produced by falling into the water. His money and clothes are found on him, proving that money could have been no motive for killing him. Mr. Palmer then produced the body coat, showing the sleeves and part of the body clear of mud, aud said there was evidence, written by the hand of nature, showing that the overcoats could not have been put on after the body had been exposed to mud. He said there had been hair found near the bridge where he believed that McCarthy had fallen off. He did not believe, as some, that one O’Neill had dealt him an unlucky blow and killed him, but he believed can- didly as above stated. He then quoted Russell on crimes, show- ing that persons acknowledging themselves accessories to a crime could not convict a person on their evidence. He had nothing against Parker, for he might have been the same without moral training as she was, but he hoped she would not be seen any more floating about the streets on luxury as she had been. Mr. Palmer will continue Monday morning. ence his address Tue Day EXAMINER, AUGUST 15, 1878. The Truth. Tux electors of this Province have new an opportunity of showing their hatred of hypocrisy, their detestation of corruption. Four culprits stand at the bar of public opinion—-culprits guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. They are guilty of having done their utmost to rob our young men of their right to vote. They have done their very utmost to support the worst jobbery and corruption that ever dis- graced a country. They have upheld the steel rail job and the Goderich Harbor job. They have stood by an Administration which, ignoring our interests, has ruled us as though we were aliens and foreigners. And now the culprits stand for judgment. The least we can do is to send them to pesca: a —_— - Gnt Favoritism and Anti-Irish Vote. Ww. DP. O' DONOUGHUE. (From Journals of House of Commons, 12th April, 1877.) Mr. Cartwright moved, seconded by Mr. Coftin, and the question being proposed, that Mr. Speaker do now leave the chair; Mr. Costigan moved, in amendment, see- onded by Mr. White (Hastings), That all the words after ‘“‘That” to the end of the question be left out, and the words “in pursuance of the terms of an address, passed by this House on the 15th day of February, 1875, a full amnesty was granted to all per- sons concerned in the North-West troubles, for all acts committed by them during the said troubles, save only Louis Reil, A. D. Lepine and W. D. O’Donoughue, and a par- tial amnesty was granted to Louis Riel and A. D. Lepine, conditional on five years ban- ishment from Her Majesty’s Dominion, thereby leaving the said W. D. O’ Donou- ghue as the only person liable to the extreme penalties of the law for all acts committed by him during the said troubles; that this sol- So it passed in the negative. their respective homes, where they | Let it be borne in mind at the polls, m will be powerless to effect the|the forthcoming Dominion Election, that harm which their incompetency leads|Mc/ntyre, Yeo and Perry voted in them into. While our rights were|faver of Louis MRiel—the half-bred being infringed, theyjsat dumb. No voice was raised in our interest while they mis- represented us. And now that these men should come and ask us to condone their past misconduct—nay more —to approve their evil deeds—this is, on their part, the most utter abandonment of decency which ever disgraced the worst political charlatan. Tue schools of this city under the direc- tion of the School Board opened to-day. All the teachers were in their places and the attendance in every Cepartment was, we are pleased to announce, large, and therefore satisfactory to the Board and outlaw—iaking his seat in the Do- minion Parliament, that he might assist in making laws for the electors of P. E. Island. While they dene this, they voted against O’Donoughue being placed in even the same position, with regard to North West troubles, as Louis Riel and A. D. Lepine who were granted partial am- nesty on condition of five years’ banish- ment from the Dominion. Sir John Me- Donald,: at a Catholic Picnic recently, said ; ‘‘ The Government had been guilty of the grossest favoritism in refusing to par- don O’Donoughue, who had been guilty of teachers. no murder, while they pardoned Riel and Lepine who had been guilty of murder. Poor O’Donoughue was dead now ; he had gone to his grave an exile, and he (Sir John) sincerely hoped his family would get the property in Winnipeg which had be- longed to him. He received a letter not long ago from Mr. 0’ Donoughue’s brother in Ireland, thanking him for the course he had taken in and out of Parliament in this case, and stating that it had not been eX- pected that a Protestant world have taken such a course,’’—Com. avesee The Rich Man’s Tariff.
