SUPREME COURT. The Murder Case. Jan. 31, 1879. PETER BRADLEY'S EVIDENCE CONTINUED. I don’t know a boy named Lynch. Did not know that such a boy was examined be- fore Dr. Jenkin’s. Know Pius McKinnon. He came up to the station after the prisoner Johnston. I went to search for McKinnon to Dundas a Did not find him. Cross-examined by Mr. Palmer—'To the best of my knowledys, it was at the time Shea said ‘‘it wasa foolish thing to be firing pistols through the streets,” that the ques- tion came up about keeping company with 7 $4 > ~~ nd to St. Peters. 2a fellow like Millner. 1 think that the father of the prisoner Johnston came to the Court room during the nigat. I don’t think he was there during the whole con- yersation which I have related. Don’t] think I was in the Court room while Mr. Johnston was there. Cannot swear that he heard any of the conversation. Think it all happened before he came. When [I wen to my lunch and came back, think it was then Mr. Johnston was in the Coart room. Think { saw Mr. McLeod, the Attorney there. That was after Mr. Johnston left. He was there before daylight. Don’t mind telling Mr. McLeod anything. Might have said to Mr. McLeod that the prisoner did not make any confession. Officer Cameron came through the night and took my place. Think ho remained till he took Johnston home in the morning to change his clothes. To the best of my knowledge, I did nut speak to the prisoner, in the presence of his faiher, as to the amount of imprisonment being lighter on himif he would confess. It might have passed; but to the best of my knowledge it did not. I was not mixed up in the death of Kilboy. Might have been at the Gas House when he hung him self in the station. When he was cut down I was putting a prisoner in the other cell, about four feet from the cell in which he _hung himself, Re-direet examination-—Shea and I were put in charge of Johnston about 12 o’clock. Dre. Hovxirs (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Peters—1! remember the night Kelly was shot. I was sitting on my own ver- anda. I heard three shots. The shots were fired rather slowly. I paid no attention to them. Shortly afterwards they came over and told me the boy was shot. I went over and found him lying very sick in his moth- ers house. I got off his clothes and found a small wound in his right side. I gave him some stimulants, but he could not swallow. He died about a quarter of an hour after. I made an examination, and found a bullet had penetrated his right side, passed down and lodged in the spine. It was from the effects of that bullet that the boy came to his death. I took out the bullet, and gave it to the Coroner. (The bullet was pro- duced by the Clerk of the Mayistrate’s Court, and the Dr. identified it). I have no doubt that it was by the bullet he came to his death. He was perfectly healthy. The shots were fired about twenty minutes to ten o'clock. Dr. McLrop sworn—Examined by the Attorney General—I was present at the post. mortem examination with Dr. Hobkirk. We found a bullet wound in tho right side. Opening the side we found a great deal of blood in the right lung. We discovered the track of the bullet. It passed through the diaphragm, thence through the liver and lodged in the spine. The boy was perfectly healthy. Uave no doubt that he died from the wound caused by the bullet. (Identi- fied the bullet.) Taomas FLYNN sworn—Examined by the Attorney General—I am City Marshal be , myself. I remember the I got to the scene tween nino and ten years. night Kelly was killed. of the murder abont ten o'clock. Kelly was about breathing his last. He lived ina house behind Billy Byers’. Immediately after seeing the boy was deadI went to gather information about the matter. I acted on information I got from Patrick Hand in the West Bog. in consequence of that information [sent Officers McGonnell and Keating to Millner’s house. At the time of the murder I made several inquiries and afterwards measured the track of the wagon. Tie tracks I measured were towards the belfry, and at Ryan’s corner. Where I measured, it came on to Ryan’s house. It was nearly up to the platform running along the west side of the street. Thore was only one track with a turn in it. It was after ton o'clock the same night Kelly was shot that 1 measured the track. I did so with the light ofacandle. The track was in softsand, and from the putside of the tyes of each wheelit was four feet ten. 1 did not measure the tracks of the horse’s hoofs. The width of the tyer was one inch I got the wagon from Mr. Stumbles after- wards (identified the wagon in Court). The Wazon in Court is the one. It has been under the charge of the police.

He went, and Officers Warren and Heartz went with him. [ did not get the revolver afterwards. I asked Mr. Johnston forthe revolver. I told him his son had told me he had one, and he said he had none. Cross-examined by Mr. Palmer—I swear positively Hand told me it was Millner’s horse. He did not say what Miilner, but I took it to be old Mr. Miliner’s horse. He gave me that information before I sent him to the country with the officers. Don’t think an hour elapsed from the time [ got the information in the bog till 1 sent the Officers to Millners. Iam not prepared to swear that the officers went directly to Millner’s. I didnot go with them. Don’t know what hour they arrived at Millner’s. I don’t know what time Hand started for the country. I cannot tell whether Hand had gone “to the country be- fore the Officers went to Millners. but I started him to go for his horse, and after I did I sent the officers to Millner’s. It was when I came from the Bog the sec- ond time that I sent the officers to Mill- ner’s. It was the second time that I was in the Bog that I got the information from Hand. I cannot say whether I saw Hand in the Bog the first time or not. When I arrested Millner he did not appear much appalled. He did not attempt to screen himself in any way It was pretty windy the night Kelly was shot. It was with a candle light that I measured the track. I measured it with o1¢ side of a two foot rule. [had no rod. (Showed the manner in which he measured the track.) It was four feet ten. J noted it at the time ona piece of paper. I measured what was supposed to be the hind wheels. The hind wheels tallied with the fore, as nearas I could get them. I think I measured Millner’s horse’s feet. I don’t know that I said in the gangway, ‘‘ That’s not the horse, any- way.” Imight have. It was for simple curiosity I measured the horse’s hoof. While I was handing the prisoner Johnston out of the hole there might have been some expressions between the officer and the prisoner that I did not hear. To Mr. Hodgson—There was a small boy named Allen came to the schooner. I sent him inte the run aft, as I could not get in It is a disqualification for a police- man to get drunk. (Here the counsel began an exaraination regarding the character of the police. The ‘examination was objected to by the Attorn- ley General, and the questions were put ‘formally and answered as follows):— Question—Do you know Officer Shea? | Answer—I know him for six or seven years. I récollect him once being up on a charge of beating his wife, but I cannot tell what became of the case. I cannot say whether he was imprisoned for the offense. I heard nothing about the nature of the pun- ishment Johnston was to receive. I heard the prisoner making no statement in the Station. There was no conversation in the Court regarding any statement the prisoner made. I heard no conversation hetween the prisoner and his father. I went out to Mr. FitzGerald’s after telling Mr. Johnston of his son’s arrest. I first in- formed Johnston that I arrested him for the murder of Kelly in the hold of the ves- sel. I did not tell Millner what I arrested him for. Feb. 1. _ AncurB'tp McKiyyon (sworn)—Exam- ined by the Attorney-ieneral.—I am on the police force about twelve months.

Did not think it was evidence at the time. Did not think anything about it at the time of the ex- amination before the Court. I swear I did not manufacture this afterwards. 1 wrote the whole confession down the very same day—that was I think the very same day as the examination before the Stipendiary. It was in the evening I wrete itdown. I sometimes write these things down in books (exhibits a book to Mr. Palmer,who examines lit.) Witness says: that is not the book in | which I wrote the confession. I wrote the confession on a piece of paper. But I lost it. When 1 wrote the confession I put it lin an old cash box at home. Question—Has the memorandum in that book of yours anything to do with the clothes you got from McKinnon. Answer—Let me see the book and I will {tell you. tees | Question—Was your ‘brother ever In jail ifor robbery } Witness—That has nothing to do with | this case. The Attorney General and Mr. Peters objected to this question. The objection was noted. Answer—I can’t say my brother was in jail. Inever saw him there. I cannot say how he got out of jail. Idid not see him get out. I believe he did get out. Question—Where did he get the clothes with which he was helped away ? Answer—He might have got them from you, but he didn’t. I gave hima suit of clothes after he got out—a few days. I could not say how -he got out--whether lawfully or unlawfully. I heard he got out by jumping over the fence. I gave him the clothes after I heard he jumped the fence. Question—-Was he not warmly dressed / Answer—They were not very decent. They were like Joseph’s coat—of many colors. 1 did net give him a policeman’s suit to disguise him. I brought some of the clothes I gave him from New York; got some from Mr. Lourie and at D. H. McKinnon’s. He was at North River when I gave hiin the clothes, He was not ina woods; he was in Mr. Mc Donald’s house. There was an uncle of mine present. I was not a police- man at that time. I did not make this known to Mr. FitzGerald when I applied for the situation of policeman. My brother was in jail for breaking into a shop. He was sentenced for five years. [ am not in the habit of throwing dust in the police- man’s eyes to prevent them from doing their duty. I never took a stick from Cameron or struck him. I was perfectly sane when I wasat Millner’s. In going up-stairs in Millner’s [ hit my head against the side of adoor. It was not the effeet of grog. It did not hurt me much. It did not stun me. I know Matthew Allin and Mary Jane Wares, his sister-in-law; but have not, that I remember, conversed with them on this subject. If I told them anything it was the truth. Millner said, ‘‘Tll be all right if Cusack says nothing.” Right at that time his brother Sam came up stairs, and he said [ll tell you more than I'll tell the police. Isaid I don’t want to hear any- h ng of it. He also said something about Keating being entirely astray about «his having a revolver when the window was opened. I don’t remember that he said more. He said nothing that I mind of about shooting Kelly. He did not deny shooting Kelly before me. I never said to Matthew Allan or his sister that if Johnston had been as cute as Millner, he’d have got clear, for Millner never confessed. Don’t mind that I made use of those words. I never have been into bad scrapes with Matthew Allan. He is rather a nice fellow. He never interfered to keep me from murder- ing or violently assaulting my wife. I never wasa drunkard. I might have been the worse of liquor once. I was in Mc- Mahon’s barber shop with Mililner. Had him in charge then. I think it was after the conversation with Millner upstairs. There was nothing said, I know of, about the murder. There was nothing said to at- tract my attention. There was nothing, that I heard, said about a barber or butch- er’s knife. A fierinwon Sitting.
