I came, not with Wesley Myers, but with another party. 1 saw Mr. Myers just at the edge of the town. I saw Mr. Sutherland and was talking to him. It was not my intention to go home that night.

Marcaret Stewart (re-called)—To Mr. Peters. —When I was talking to Mr. Me- Leod about this case, Mr. McLeod said that ] was lying and that if I didn’t be careful | would get penitentiary. John Wood, my brother-in-law, was present at the time. i den’t think that he seemed to be cross, ‘To Mr. McLeod—You asked me if Wesley Myers drove me up to the Capes and I said that I didn’t know. I said that I didn’t know if Wesley Myers or any one else was to provide me with a_ ticket. You jasked me if when I left Doyle's I intended jto goto Curran’s, and I said I did. You isked me if when Curran left me I intended to goto Curran’s, and I said that I didn’t know where I was guing. I said on my oath that Wesley Myers drove me up to the Cape. I know now that it was Wesley Myers who drove me up. I thought while | was in Myers’ house that it was Myers who drove me up. Before I left the man’s house | knew the name was Myers. I knew the old man’s name was Wesley Myers and that his son’s name was Morley Myers. Before I leftthe house I thought it was Wesley Myers whodrove me up. Lheard that the mau who drove me up was McOabe. I wasn’t on my oath when ] told you that. I was told that the man’s name was McCabe. The former evidence | gave was true to the best of my knowledge. I didn’t swear false on account of what you said to me. CaTuertne McKenna (sworn)—I live with my brother. |! remember when the two girls came to the house. It waa ithe forenoon of Friday.

I told my brother and sister, after they came in, that there were two girls sit- ting in the room. Frank said nothing. He did not go in toseethem. They were in the lower room, where they had dinner. They were kept in the back room until dinner time. Frank was in a while before I told him. It was before dinner. I knew that the girls were taken away. I didn’t know that day that these were the missing witnesses. I didn’t ask the girls their names. I didn’t ask the name of the man who brought them. Davip McKay (re-called)—I know Wesley Myers. I saw him at Brown's since the case came on. It was in the afternoon. I am not positive whether it was on Friday or Saturday. He was in the house when i saw him. Mr. Sutherland, Fred. Robins and I went in together. Myers was there when we went in. It would be about five o'clock, I don’t think that any of us spoke to him. I didn’t see him = on Saturday night. I was not at Brown's house at all on Saturday night. I was there in the evening about 5 o'clock, and stayed about halfan hour. I was not there on Sunday. I have seen Myers on the street since Jast Saturday. I saw him this morning. The first I heard of the missing girls was by the papers. I was not at Brown's on Thursday night, but might have been there on Wednesday. I don’t know when I heard that they were at Brown’s, I think that the first I heard of itwas in Kensington. I don’t know who' took them from Brown’s to McKenna’s— never heard. AFTERNOON SESSION. Mary Jane Srewart, (re-called)—To Mr. Peters—I remember seeing the poison in the bottle which Mes. Weeks had.

Both killed quickly. To Mr. McLeod—I wouldn’t swear that the poison in the paper was not like cream tartar and I won't swear that it was. Mr. Peters rose at a quarter past three, and delivered a very able speech in behalf of his client.
