THE THAI OF BIRcHALr-


Not Very Damaging Evidence-Ths Pub
III Interest Intense.
WOODSTOCK, Ont, Sept 24.-The Birchall
tr ial was continued this morning. The
prisoner slept well, and was mp in time TO
perform his usual careful toilet before be-
ing called to face the Judge and Jury. He
was ready and waiting for the sheriff when
the latter arrived. It has been reported
that Bircha1 is handcuffed on his way to
and from the jail. but such Is not the case.
He is the quietest and most easy-going
prisoner any jailer ever had to deal with,
and he never complains or gives trouble in
any way. There Was the usual great crowd
at the town hall to see him pass, and his
appearance was warmly criticized by many.
Birchall has raised in this community
two cleariy-defned parties, ono in
his favor and the other against him. The
latter party are more numerous and are
having pretty much their own way during
the presentation of the case for the prose-
cution, but the prisoners friends are stall
wart and convinced either that he Is lnno-
cent or that it will be impossible TO proye
him guilty.
There was . great crowd in the court
room, including over 100 ladies. The pris.
oner's wife and sister-in-law were not pres
ent, Mrs. BirchalI being too nervous and
Ill to stand the strain of watching the pro-
ceedings.
DR.. Taylor, the physician, called to see
Benwells body when found in the swamp,
testified that the clothing was frozen to
the ground. It had lain there four or five
days. His examination showed that BEN
well died of wounds in the head SO located
that it could not have been q case of sui
eide.
In the afternoon PeIley was recalled. and
recognized Birchall's several letters, which
were put in evidence.
Grigg, the Princeton sexton. was ques-
toned as to the attempt, as he suspected,
TO open the grave and steal Benwell's body.
He was unable to identity the persons
whom he frightened away.
Frank Pierce. teller in q bank at Niagara
Falls. related how Birchall came into the
bank February "a. said he was an agent Of
the British government, buying horses in
Canada, and deposited 1852, including
eleven English sovereigns. This point
the crown makes to connect with the
statement of PeIley, that Benwell, the mur
dered man. had . handful of sovereigns
with him.
An important discovery was made by
detectives today. Birchall's attorney laid
great stress on the fact that "F. c. Benz
well'' registered at the Commercial hotel,
Brantford. on January 13. Today two
young men of Brantford confessed that
they made the entry for joke. This y
considered . heavy blow on Birchall.

gather together for the purpose of dis
cussing the live political issues Of the
day, 80 as to be able to vote intelligently
in the coming election. II | have a right
understanding of the term, | can say for
the people Of Osborne county that we are
having almost one continuous and un-
broken line Of "red letter. days. In fact,
the people are in earnest. Every time
the enemy undertakes to break our lines
we become more determined TO win the

are marching under the banner that will
