The trial of Whalen was resumed to-
day. Constables Jordan and Pennard stat
ed how their. attention was first directed
to La Croix. They brought him to town
and he pointed out the spot where he saw =
man shoot. and described the particulars OF
the tragedy. La Croix is an ignorant
Frenchman, and shrewd. Heswas extreme
ly unwilling and afraid to come forward in
the matter, but his first statement OF the
circumstances connected with the murder
closely agreed with his evidence given yes

The Crown counsel appear to feel wholly
satisfied that evidence will be produced to
convict Whalen, while the counsel for the
defense expect to break it down.a they
are equally confident Whalen will be ac-
quilted. There are said to be seven Orange
men on the jury. Mr.. O'Reilly defends his
challenging OF Roman Catholic jurors on
the ground, as he alleges, of well
known sympathy on the part of of the many
Roman Catholics in the neighborhood with
Whalen. The refusal of Chief Justice
Richards. to allow a peremptory ehal-
lenge of jurors, it is thought by many
lawyers here, will furnish ample grounds
for an appeal for new. trial., in the event
OF its being found necessary to do SO by a
verdict against the prisoner. The excite
ment has been very great. ndl : u .too
Excitement In Ottawa.
~ l5..ais .lta;5 E {; New YORK, Sept 8.
The special Ottawa dispatch to the Her
aid says: The city swarms with CORES
pondents, &c. Around the Jail a regi-
ment is encamped and guard of twenty
men receives Whalen each night. Each
man has twenty five rounds of
ball cartridges and the prison is marched
up in the square. The loyalists have
threatened thatif justice is not done they
will take Whelan by force and hang him.
Public feeling is intense and moral
conviction is strong that rWhelan
is the murderer. Six or seven Head
Centers from New Y York and
Buffalo are here with money to aid in the
defense, and they are closely watched. The
defense is respondent. Threatening letters
have been sent to all the witnesses for the
prosecution, and one of them was attacked
and knocked down by slung shot. aE N
