aauobter-in-law was standing ON the steps OF her
- laws house when the man who lured
n. C,onin from his rooms in the windsor Theatre
pIocL drove up TO the cottage with the physician.
She saw DR.. Cronin slight from the buggy and
rpn ND the front steps. She also heard the
front door slam when the doctor went into the
,.oono whore he was murdered She heard a
,+,,,ocla hut the man who was driving the white
horse away made such racket yelling at the
animal and whipping him that her attention was
attracted in that direction, and the noise IN the
bouse ceased before the was through chaStls-
ing the horse.
Il wondered at the time" said the woman,
why the fellow was swearing at the horse ana

Z" 1t only remains for me TO consider IL the evil
dence in these depostiOns and from witnesses IS
sufficient to Justify me in committing the prisoner
for extraditiOn. There is doubt but that
the crime is within the meaning OF the eXtradl-
ton act l have in this matter to act III the
same manner as if the prisoner were brought
before me- sitting as magistrate or justice o1 the
peace, charged with an lndlctable offence COM
mltted in Canada
The new evidence that have l heard is all
circumstantial. ii is not directly conclusive OF
his guilt but il is evidence that, if | was trying
the case before jury, | could not withdraw from
the Jury, though might have TO caution the jury
that il was questionable whether il was sufficient
to convict But it has been suggested by counsel
for the prisoner that the evidence must be such
as would lead a judge TO charge jury TO commit.
1t seems to me that evidence giving a strong pre-
sumption of guilt is all that is necessary 10 COM
nit prisoner for trial or to remand him for eX-
tradition"
An application will be made to the Department
of Justice at Ottawa at once for Burlze's eXtradi-
tiOn, but the prisoner will DE given fifteen DAYS
grace in which to appeal from Judge Bans de-
ciSiOn.
