Burchell, the suspected murderer Of Ben.

his examination postponed until March IL
In the police court the case Of Mrs. Bur.
chell came up. Magistrate Hill said he did
not believe there was any evidence on winch
to hold Mrs Burchell, and that II no new
evidence was introduced he would discharge
her At the afternoon session, however, an
order was received from the attorney gen.
eral remanding Mrs. Burchell to Welland
iail. The case OF Burchell was then taken
IN nrain and some additional evidence
taken, the most damaging being that OF
Brakeman Hay, who swore that he saw
Burchell at Eastwood, near the scene OF the
murder. about the time IL was committed.
ON wednesday next Burchell will be called
upon to account very clearly for the twelve
hours on that Monday, Feb. II, at the be.
ginning OF which he and Benwell went away
together. ostensibly to visit the stock farm
near Princeton, and at the end Of which he
came back alone All the rest Of his time
and his movements were accounted for in
Pelleys circumstantial story of tho party's
trip from England and journeyings on this
side Of the Atlantic. BY comparison Of the
clothing found In Benwelrs baggage With
that in which the dead mans body was
dressed, the Identification Of the corpse has
been completed and the careless oversight
by which that cigar case and it's telltale in
scription were left with the body, when all
other clews had been SO carefully removed,
has now borne its full fruit.
All portions Of clothing which had borne
the dead mans name were carefully cut
from the garments on the body, and in that
connection, since the cutting was jagged and
had evidently been done with asmall instru-
mont, the finding of little pair Of scissors
In brown leather case in basket belong

tant The officers are still doubtful as to the
part which the wife played in the processes
Of duping Benwell and Pelley.
The Dominion police entertain the start

is an association Of some kind which makes
its III gotten gains by prcying upon credu
lous young Englishmen, younger sons and
youths in quest OF building up a fortune

the same pretexts by which Reginald Burch
