"All through his conversations since his
conviction Birchall has insisted that he
had an accomplice who did the staying at
the swamp, and he has made it appear of
late that this accomplice was young En-
glishman named Graham, who at one
time lived with Pickthall on Pickthalrs
farm, and whose name cropped out at the
trial in the evidence OF Macdonald, of
Woodstock, the man who placed English
men on farms as agent or representative
of Ford, Rathhone & Co, Of London, with
whom Birchall also carried on some cor
respondence.
Graham is fairly well known In the
neighborhood of Woodstock as one of the
brood Of more or less useless young En-
glishmen who have found their way ont
here, and a friend of his has said TINT
Birchall had a grudge against him. No
one will for a moment believe that the
charge against Graham is true.
She Could Not Embrace Him.
"Mrs. Birchall saw her husband for the
first time since he was sentenced to death
at $3.50 p. m. on Saturday. The meeting
between them was a sad one. 1t was neces-
sary to prevent Mrs. Birchall from kissing
or embracing her husband. This is done
in order to prevent the possibility of poison
being conveyed to the man whom the law
has claimed for its victim. Mrs Birchall,
who has been suffering intensely from
nervous prOstration, was completely broken
down.
THE writer has il from trustworthy
sources that Mrs. Birchall knew nothing
from first to last of the murder or the in

perpetrated upon Benwell and Pelley and
