SWOONS IN THE DOCK, ae ee Ay Sau ON Saturday evening about 7.30 it was rumored that the yury had agreed to a ver- cliet Chis news was a surprise to every- boly, aa it they would : much longer time, while carded the opinion that they would not agree at all. When Tum EXAMINER’s reporter got to was supposed Liat some ha ; the Courtroom, there were but few per- 18 there, forthe news of the agreement hal no become generally known. But people soon came quickly and eagerly in. Of the counsel engaged, Mr. Hodgson was the first to arrive. He at once took his seat at the little desk from which he had, for the last eleven days, fought so earnest and brilliant a fight for his client. The Attorney-General arrived next. The Clerk of the Crown was in his place next with his papers before him. By this time the Courtroom was nearly filled and the usual rush up the stair-case announced thearrival of the prisoner. HE LOOKED FLUSHED AND FEVERISH, and seemed to suffer from a cold. Then jury looking none the worse for their long confinement and almost imme- diately afterwards Mr. Justice Hensley took his seat. Amid a death-like silence the Clerk of the Crown arose, and addressing the jury said, ‘*‘Gentlemen of the Jury, answer to your names.” He then read a list of their names froma paper he had in his hand The scene which the Court House then presented was one not soon to be forgotten. Nearly every one except those within the bar stood. The Judge had his note book before him, his head resting on one hand, & pen in the other. The Attorney General leaned earnestly forward. Mr. Hodgson sat pale and impassive ; nothing could be gathered from his face as to what he thought, or hoped, or feared. And the prisoner— one can fancy what his feelings were. At first all eyes were directed to the jury ; thence to the prisoner. Those who looked at the prisoner could, however, see but little, for his form was hardly discernible in the deep shade in which he sat in the dock. At last, what seemed a long read- ing ended, and the Clerk of the Crown asked what was their verdict. The fore- man in a low, but distinct voice, replied : “* GUILTY,” at the same time handing in a paper which proved to contain a recommendation to merey. Fora second or two the prisoner, who held his white pocket handkerchief to his face from the time he entered the dock, seemed dazed,’then he fellas if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and seemingly lifeless he remained, half sitting, half leaning against the side of the dock. The Court- room was quickly cleared, and the unfor- tunate young man was laid on a seat, and there he lay for fifteen or twenty minutes. Mr. Hodgson sat by him with his hand on his pulse, and water was applied to his forehead and lips. In about half an hour he was carried down stairs and driven rapidly to the jail, from the gloomy portals of which he will emerge once more to re- ceive his sentence; and then, never again—— unless his sentence is commuted—uatil he has been‘strangled on the gibbet, when his dead body will be carried out for burial in the little country churchyard where his fathers sleep. A TERRIBLE The news of the finding of the jury was a terrible blow to his father and mvther and sister, who are stopping at the Osborne House. But over that sad scene we draw a veil—it is one that even the omniscient eye of the press has no right to penetrate. The sorrow and suffering of these worthy people; is too sacred to be comment- ed on im the columns of a newspaper. They have the sympathy of the community in their sorrow and distress, and sure we are that there is not one who does not pray that God will grant them strength to bear the heavy affliction laid vpon them, render- ed doubly hard to bear as coming through their eldest boy—the boy they both loved so well. FALSE REPORTS CORRECTED. All day yesterday and this forenoon, the most alarming reports were current concern- ing the condition of Millman. One story, afloat yesterday, was to the effect that, during Saturday night, he had burst a blood-vessel and was slowly bleeding to death. Last night and this morning the roport was in everybody's mouth that he was dead. In order to get at the bottom of these stories, THe EXAMINER'S reporter called at the jail to-day and interviewed Mr. Harvie on the subject. From him the reporter learned that Millman, beyond suffering froin a cold and feeling somewhat gloomy over the verdict, was in his usual health. Yesterday he ate but little. In the afternoon he was visited by Rev. J. Simpson, Rev. T. B. Reagh, and Mr. E. J. Hodgson. They remained half an hour— leaving about five o’cloek. After their de- parture the prisoner seemed greatly re- lieved. This forenoon his father, mother and sister (Mrs. Nelson Evans), Rev. Mr. Reagh and Mr. E. J. Hodgson, called to see him. The meeting between Millman and his parents and sister was very affect- ing—all weeping bitterly. The visitors re- mained about three-quarters of an hour. A DESERVED TRIBUTE. Tue following address from the jury in the Millman trial, and which was presented this morning, speaks for itself :-— To His Honor Judge Hensley and Jame Curtis, High Sheriff of Queen’s County : We, the jury empannelled on the case of the Queen vs. William Millman, indicted for the murder of Mary Tuplin, after having been confined within the precincts of the Court- house for twelve days, feel that it would be most ungrateful on our part to separate without giving to Your Honor and ali the officers of the Court an expression of our deep thankfulness for the care and many attentions paid to us, without which it would have been doubtful that we all could have held out under the deep and terrible re- sponsibilities imposed upon us.

The Fremdenblatt says the publication of a Treaty of Alliance between Austria and Germany will produce everywhere the con- viction that our policy has a pacific and con- servative tendency, which will always be maintained, and will decisively show that the policy of Austria and Germany, and the grouping of the powers is of high and unrestricted import- ance, and that the duration of the treaty is absolutely secured. It now forms, and must form in the future, the exclusive basis of our policy. Nobody can but now fairly understand that Austria and Germany will endeavor above all to clear up the situa- tion, refute baseless accusations, and tran- quilize the publie mind. A Verribie Affair. Dusty, Feb. 5, At the conclusion of a performance at Lowrey’s Music Hall, last night, Mlle. Senide, one of the performers, placed her head in a lion’s mouth for the purpose of having her photograph taken in that position. A sudden flash of light caused the beast to close his jaws, and he retired growling toa corner of his cage, dragging his helpless victim with him. Then he shook the girl violently, tearing her breast with his claws. The attendants at once sprang toward the cage and attacked the lion with irons, and finally succeeded in beating him off. Mlle. Senide was remov- ed and medical aid summoned. Her neck, shoulders, breast and one arm was terribly torn, but she is still alive. a Down an Embankment. Sr. Joun, Feb. 5. As the down train from Presque Isle, on the New Brunswick Railway, was rounding Tobique Point on Saturday morning, at a fifteen mile an hour rate, a wheel cf one of the passenger coaches broke ané the car was thrown off the track, rolling down an embankment 75 feet high. There were six passengers in the car, five of whom sus- tained slight injuries. Revolvers vs. Sword. Sr. Pererssure, Feb. 5. Two Frenchmen quarreled witha Ger- man officer in the Casino yesterday. The officer drew his sword and the Frenchmen drew revolvers and fired, wounding the German, after which they escaped over the frontier. More Fortifications. Orrawa, Feb. 5.
