Additional Circumstantial Evidence Against
Whelan-His Tracks Discovered in the
Snow Back Of an Un0ccupied House.
OTTAWA, April IL, 1858.
Still more evidence against whelan was discovered
this morning. Your clever detective Cullen in mov-
ing about McKenna's saloon Sparks street, nearly
opposite TIE scene Of the MURDER found out that the
sd]oining house. or part Of II, was untenanted and
that had been SO for the past month-a the DOORS
Hont and otherwise being, strange to say, con.
stantly open. On the night OF the murder whean
was at McKenna's, and this morning, when the de-
tectve was examining the vacant premises, he dis:
covered In the snow on the back stairs the track OF
man having gone up, another having gone down
the stairs. There were only those two tracks The
boot marks in both corresponded in size exactly and
ooth ntted to q nicely the boots which the prisoner
sent TO Whelan In the jail this morning to procure
MS Doos ne sighed and said they were not the boots
ne wore on the night the murder was committed, but
that he wore q heavier pair, which were at Mike
STAIRS tavern, where he lodged. On the supposittOn
that Whelan committed the murder and then stepped
across the street, through the vacant house next
Mckenna's, and thence on to Wellington street, his
sudden and mysterious disappearance after the MUIR
Ger would be easily accounted for. minute or two
afterwards ne was, as you have already learned con-
versing at the Russell House corner. He did not
express the least curiosity or astonishment when
told that MCGEE had been murdered, but hurried
home 10 bed There is hardly the shadow OF doubt
now remaining on the minds OF the authorities that
Whe!an Is the murderer.

quite fully reported In the HERALD. Several wit
nesses were sworn and examined as to the difficulty
between deceased and Fitzpatrick just previous to

what conflicting but In the main failed to justify
Fitzpatrick In using his pistol
Dr. Morris, House Surgeon Of the hospital, deposed

the right OF the anterior medau line, grazing the
second rib and chipping or small piece, then passed
In direction downwards outwards and backwards
through the superior lobe OF the lung fracturing the
sixth rib piece OF which had penetrated the lung
In the DOCTORS opinion the injuries received caused

The case being submitted to the jury they rem.
dered the following verdict:-'That Charles Noirot
the deceased, came TO his death by a pistol shot
wound received at the hands OF Thomas Fitzpatrick
on the 27th day Of March, 1885, and that said wound
was inflicted wilfullyn Fitzpatrick, against whom
the jury rendered their verdict, is now at large, he
having been admitted to bail some days ago by one
OF the Judges Of the Superior Court. Vgant efforts
are now being made to rearrest him. Deceased was
twentynine years OF age and native OF New Jersey.
