His account in regard to CARLE' s interrogat-
inc them about LHEuREUX, and the other
events following-their departure, arrest, NC,
agrees with what has been published hereto
fore. TEMpLEroN told a straightforward, clear
story. in calm and honest manner, and is
no doubt sincere 1t was corroborated by
the testimony of Captain CROSBY and others.
TEMpLErox says that l. HEUREUx had deceived
them, as we'll as the other men ne engaged,
whom they met at Crow Wing. Tie believes
he is an imposter, and that BELL is a fictitious
parsonage. He says he met man named
McBETm on the way up, who was present
when person at CARLE's charged L'HEUR-
EUx with having been in Jail at Montreal, and
with being an imposter which ne (LH.) con-
fessed. This Mob. lived at TT. Garry, he
said, and that no such person as BELL hveo
in that region. Capt LHEuREux's men who
were at Crow Wing awaiting him, were In a
destitute condition-had received nothing
from him, and were convinced also that they
had been wheedled The whole party then
put their funds together, and cndeavored to
make their way to Red River, where TEMPLE
TON saws he had been offered good situation
when he was arrested.
These accounts open new chapter in the
mysterious LHEuREUx case. Theplot thick
ems. If he is an imposter-which we cannot
credit-he chose a shallow way of escaping.
But his maps, goods, clothes, ETC., left at
CARRIES, tell different tale. When the mys-
terry will be unraveled, we cannot say.
