ciently TO be in his place
Mrs. Rosa Z. Sykes, the mother of the de-
fendant, was asked if she knew Miss Virginia
Debene.
Gen. Darlington said he expected to show
that the lady last mentioned and the defendant
were betrothed and engaged to marry, but
that the mother for prudential reasons op-
posed the marriage and the Result was that her
son took to drinking and that his mind was af-
fected SO that he Ii not. responsible for his
actions.
Mrs. Sykes testified that her son was twenty
years of age. printer by trade. and never was
arrested TO her knowledge. After he had

years ago he had not been the same boy and
his physical health has been bad. Ever since

the young lady named had been intimate
Tor two or three years. She is about
seventeen years of age by her looks. Witness

ANOTHER SAMUEL ADAMS. =

An Indignant Protest From a New.
foundlandcr Against British Oppression.
In speech at St Johns, N.F., in the election
campaign just closed Mr.. Scott the defeate d
opposing candidate, stated: "For many month 8
past the bitter feeling Of resentment against
British negligence in Newfoundlands vital in.
terests has been taking deeper and deeper
root in the hearts Of our people, and auuexa-
ton with the American republic is beginning
to be regarded by vast number OF Newfound-
landers as the only remedy for our sufferings :"
How intense the sentiment in favor of an
nexation has already become was evidenced by
the conduct OF the public meeting on Monday
night MIR. Scott in referring to the long.
continued denial of justice to the country used
words which occasioned an outburst OF enthusi-
asm. The audience could not keep silence and
cheer after cheer echoed throughout the hall
until Mr.. Scott was forced to cease speaking
and walt for the enthusiasm to subside
SOUNDS LIKE 1176.
Said Mr.. Scott: II cherish in my heart feel
ings of most devoted loyalty to the crown and
tn" person of her most gracious majesty. I
prize most dearly the British citizenship which
enjoy. / would gladly live and die under
that glorious flag, which is as much the boast
OF the true-born Newfoundiander as it is Of
true Englishmen; but, though glory in being
Briton, cannot forget that am Newfound.
lander. cannot forget that the hearty loyalty
of the people Of this country has met with no
other return than GOODNESS and neglect from
the mother country. Newfoundland suffers
wrongs which euslave the free spirit and en-
feeble the glorious energies of our people, and
yet Great Britain sees our sufferings and does
nothing for their relief.
NEWFOUNDLAND INITIATES NEW ENGLAND.
"If Great Britain continues to turn deaf ear
to our appeals, to whom then can We look for
succor and relief? II all hope Of receiving JUS
tice and fair play from the mother country is
stified within us !, though prize as one of my
most cherished possessions the commission
from her majesty TO serve her in the practice
of my profession, will be one of those who will
respectfully request her majesty to relieve me
of fealty which only imposes duties and
obligations upon us and yields no protection in
return. We in this country are devotedly loyal
to the crown. but we are even more loyal to the
grand principles Of the British constitution. In
defense Of those principles the American colo
MES were goaded to rebellion. Newfoundland
will not rebel, but surely great Britain will not
refuse our prayer if We humbly asked her ma
jesty to either grant our just demands or per-
NIT us to seek the protection OF another power.
