SENT ON FOR MURDER.-J. Boujasson.
charged with the murder of #. S. Gloor on
Sunday, November 1st, was brought before
the acting Police Justice yesterday morning!
Captain George D. Wise and Mr. George e.
Turner appeared as his counsel. Several
witnesses were examined, but little that was
new was brought out. It seemed that for
some time after the wounding Gloor was
not regarded as in dangerous condition, and
on several occasions left his room at the
Church Institute and walked about the
streets. From the questions asked by coun-!!
sci for defence it was evident that they ex-f
pected or desired to establish the fact that he
did not take proper care of himself, and that
death vas caused by disregard on his part of
the caution ordinarily observed in such,
cases. Dr. Moncure and Coroner Taylor
we're, however, of the opinion that the eXer-
else taken bv Gloor was not instrumental In
producing death, but that it was caused by
an abscess formed from the wound, which
abscess was beyond the reach of human skill:
The counsel closely and carefully examined
every witness, but presented no evidence Of
their Own in extenuation or explanation OF
the shooting. = sxr ;.,e To- ..sns !
The accused was sent on to the grand Jury
for Indictment, and was remanded to Jail. /
