Anothe~ Witness Who Saw Him at Wood
stock on the Fatai Day.
WOODSTOCK, Ont, Sept 2p.--Many hun
dreds OF people visited Bionhelm swamp
Sunday, and your correspondent found the
narrow carriageway through the swamp
filed with vehicles People swarmod
through the swamp, and at the point
where Benwelrs body was found there
was a large congregation. Mud lake IN
the swamp beyond where the body was
found, is dismal spot-a sheet OF muddy
water covering about thirty acres, with
low, oozy banks and dense growth Of
tamarack, cedar, willow and other swamp
growth overhanging the edges To this
uncanny place Birchall Is believed 10 have
been heading Benwell. Had the body
been cast IN the lake ID would never have
been discovered, az It Is said the bottom
cannot be found. Expressions heard on all
sides showed a universal opinion that
Birchall Is not alone murderer, bat that
he will be convicted and hanged.
Mrs. Birchall and Mrs. West Jones had
called at the Jail during the day with a
message for Birchsll They did not ask to
SEQ him. Ii was not visiting day and they
knew il was against the rules TO see him
Birchall ate three meals and seemed to en-
JOY tHeln- tAb Hhuc several sketches
during tho day and gave them 70 news
paper men. One newspaper man gave
him a volume OF Rudyard Kipling's
stories. He says he likes kiplings stories,
but that Robert Elsmere" is the worst
rot he ever read While the correspondent
was standing below Birchall was heard
laughing heartily with Forbes, his keeper,
in his cell. Students from the Baptist
college and also several membeEs Of the
Salvation Army visited the Jail and held
service. but Birohall didn't take part He
devoted no time and apparently no
Thought to spiritual affairs.
The surprisingly strong evidence Of the
defense on Saturday before adjournment
caused a sensation. Norman Mcqueen,
son Of the late Judge Mcqueen, swore he
knew Birchall In Woodstock in 1888, and
that he met him at that place about noon
Feb. II, 1890, the day Of tho murder. This
evidence was corroboFated by the witness
Milliman, and the defense evidently satls-
fled that il had proved an alibL practically

LONDON, Sept 2s.-During Sunday
mornings service az St Paul's Cathedral
the worshipens were startled by two pistol
shots in quick succession. After the ex-
eitement had subsidized it was learned that
man in the congregation had committed
suicide by shooting himself twice with a
revolver. The suicides name was Easton,
but nothing further concerning his
identity nor the cause Of the tragedy could
be ascertained. The man seemed TO have
been destitute and half starved, and IL is
conjectured that he was some unemployed
and despondent wretch who sought by his
dramatic self destruction to call attention
TO the existence Of such cases, and thus
possibly lead TO the relief Of some OF his
surviving fellow sufferers.

antl-ParneH edition of that paper would
be issued to-day from the Office
of the Nation IT. D. Sullivan's
paper. steps were taken to secure
An injunction against the Nations
publisher. The court granted the writ
prayed for, res training the publisher of
the Nation from issuing the edition in
question. Notwithstanding the issu-
ance Of the writ the forbidden edition
made its appearance this morning. 1t
contains an srticle written by Mr. Bod
kin, who was acting editor of the paper
during the absence in the United States
of Editor Viii lam O'BrieH, and who was
deposed from his position by MIR. Par
nell when he first seized the
paper Wednesday. The article
is addressed in UBrien's name to
every true lover of ireland the
world over, and declares that the sole
alternative now is ParIieH or home rule.
and that home rule is impossible under
Parnells leadership. A Parnell edition
of the paper was also issued from the
Office. No. 80 Lower Abbey slreet.: 1T
quotes legal opinion justifying the
seizure of the paper by Mr.. Parn4li. a
wagon loaded with copies of the anti
Parnell edition of United Ireland
was driven to the Kingsbridge rail-
way. station to-day. it being the in
tention to load them on train for
distribution IN the South of Ireland.
As the wagon drew up at the
Station two men. one of whom had his
face covered with mask, and the
other with n drawn revolver, spraug
apon the vehicle and compelled the
driver to proceed with his load to the
island bridge. When they arrived upon
the bridge, the two men flung all the
papers into the Liffey river. An at
tempt was made to seize second wagon
loaded with the papers which was
standing at the entrance to the depot,
and it would have probably have proved
successful had not the police interferred
to protect the driver. Under their
guard the papers were loaded upon the
train.
