J. r. Burchell was executed on the
l4th in the Jail yard at Woodstock, On
tario, for the murder OF T. G. Benwell in
February last. He induced Benwell 10
leave England with him on the pretense
of teaching him how TO farm. He re-
presented that ne owned vast farm In
Canada, and told Benwell that by in
vesting a small amount OF capital he |
would soon become rich. After fleeing |
Benwell out OF his money he lured him |
10 a swamp near Eastwood and there |
killed him.l The evidence against Burch- |
ell was entirely of circumstantial ma !
ture, but II was so strong that, nOtwlth- |
standing the fact that thousands OF
people petitioned for Communication OF
his sentence, the authorities would not
interfere.
Burchell met his fate bravely, never
faltering during the ordeal through
which he passed before the execution.
He stoutly maintained from first TO last
that he did not fire the shots which
| killed Benwell, but would not say who
did. His wife in their last parting
urged him to confess, but this he would
not do.
