THE EBENWELL MURDER
Closing Scenes of the Trial
of Burohell.
GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED
The Jury Return Verdict Oh
Murder in the First
Degree.

WoopsrocK, Ont. Sept. 2o.--This was
expected to be tho last day of tho trial OF
Burchel. The interest in the case mas
gradually risen until now IL exceeds
anything ever known In the history oil
Canadian criminal jurisprudence,
Blackstock, for the defense, spoke hve
hours. He reflected on the alleged reck-
less methods OF the prosecution ana
apparently careless manner in which
tho witnesses for tho crown seemed
ready to swear away a mans life. IN
summing up the evidence bearing on
Burchelps identity, and discussing the
moral character of his client, he said he
must admit his utter inability to point
out an explanation of the course OBJ
served by Burchell which would be con-
sistcnl with his innocence of dishonest
purposes. The only explanation oil
Burchell's statements to Pelley ana
Benwell, In inducing them to come out
there, which Blackstock could offer,
was that Burchell expected
to secure through them money
TO enable him to go In business and make
GOOD his promise. Iie denounced the
manner of conducting the Identification
OF the prisoner as disgraceful. The time
would come when the mystery surround
ing the crime would be cleared away.
He closed with touching reference to
the devotion of Mrs. Burchell.
osler closed tho case for the crown. He
reviewed tho story in detail, and
analyzcd Burchel's negotiations with
Benwell. IL was his plan to entrap
young Benwell TO Canada. His motive
was to secure the $500, He detailed
Bprchells s dealings with Policy. and said
that the outcome 2t all this fraud ana
deception could ~ but one thing, ana
that was Blenhem swamp.
The Judge, In his charge TO the jury,
reviewed many points In the case at
length. He pointed out the difference
between direct and Clrcumstantial evil
dcnce, showing that the latter, when
conclusive, was far more reliable. He
reverted TO the letters written by the
prisoner to Benwells father. What was
the object of these letters2 All was de
ception, and the prisoner must know
that Benwell would never write such let
ters to his father. The condition of the
clothing on tho body found disproved
the theory of the defense that the mur-
der was for plundcr. Exery mark on
the clothing was removed, ana, had II
not been for the inding of cigar holder.
BenNelrs death would always have re-
mained a mystery.
The jury returned at II 80 with yer.
