Queen with intent to do grieyous bodily

yard at the railway station for an hour this
morning the police found small bullet
imbedded in the ground. II bore marks OF
having first struck some other object. IL

er's arrest and the finding OF the bullet.
Maclean closely crosS-cXamined several
witnesses. lie did not seem to be i'm
pressed with the seriousness Of his posi-
ton.
At the examination two letters writ

first. which was written before the shoot
ing. he said he was compelled TO commit
crime against the "blOOded aristocracy"
because OF the insutiiciency OF relief az

MAcLEAN's ANTECEDENTs-" GoD SAVE THE
QUEEN"
LONDON. March 3.-Maclean's antece-
dents show that he is a monomaniac and is
addicted TO drink.
Before the beginning OF business on the
Stock Exchange this morning all the MEM
bers III the room sang "God save the
Queen"
1t appears that Maclean recently en-
deayored to force his way through the
Eton College scholars who were at the sta
ton 70 secure good position TO await the
passage OF the Queen, and the consequent
hustling prevented his having an opportu-
nity TO fire when he might have done so
with q worse result. There are various
accounts rs to whether his arm was struck
while firing or after he had fired. The
police evidence at the examination, which
the prisoner tried to shake by cross-eXami-
nation. went to prove that he fired straight
at the carriage and not at the wheels, rs he
alleged.
