POWERFUL EFFECT oN THE JURY.
He said it was a question of doubt in
his mind as to whether this case should
have been tried so recently alter the
| crime, for he said there may be a deep
and strong and abiding prejudice against
the Roman Catholic priesthood, particu-
larry among the country people. The
defence would have therefore much pre-
feTred jury from the city. He insisted
that Boyle had not had that
FREEDOM FROM PREJUDICE
should have. He argued that the most
powerful piece of evidence against the
prisoner was the bruises on the girls
person and that the surprise at this ev-
idence lad been a crushing surprise
upon the prisoners counsel He said
that the girl had declined to make any
statement to him and the other counsel
for the defence. The jury declined TO
set aside the verdict and grant a new
trial, saying such a course would not be
proper unless the verdict was palpably
contrary to the weight of evidence.
The verdict depended upon the story of
the prosecutrix, and the credulity of
witness is always in the province of ju.
ry. He said there was not evidence that
there was no terror on the part of the
girl. The jury believed the girls story
that there was both force and fear, lie
also over-ruled a motion in arrest of
judgment.
THE JUDGE ASKED BOYLE
what he had to say. Boyle at once arose
and In most dramatic way said he rec
ogniZed that there was pre- judice against
Roman Catholics. He said that one of
the counsel for the prosecution had as
sumed the role of q prohibition lecturer
in the West in condemning all who diff
fered from him in faith or habits TO eter-
nal damnation.
HE FRANKLY AVowED
that he was subject to all the desires and
passions of other men and said Ii was not
for the solicitor to denounce any man for
habits of drunkenness. He then attacked
another of the prosecuting counsel with
bitter invective for attacking his chastity
He was here
APPLAUDED FOR HIS
bold and earnest words, but the applause

Boyle used all his powers of voice and
gestures in making his remarks and
said he was now ready for sentence.
1t was the most sensational occurrence
ever seen here. Judge Armfield said it
was great qualification to know that

court and that the prisoner would have

then passed sentence.

him as to many other men, reverses came
and he took refuge in the cup. Seeing the
disasterous consequences that must surely

means of salvation to many others. In con-
