the following statement made Dy MI
Gulick:
WFor the last four months and more
I have been under the DOCTORS care
(most Of the time connneo 10y 10y
home), so that whoever desired 70 see
me-. whether on business or otherwise,
called at my house on King street.
Nanv called. Mr.. w. A. Kinney,
Mr.. A. w. Carter, Mr.. +. Wilhelm
and others on business, as well as MI.
Richard, Mr.. Nowlein ana MAJor
Seward. / did business for the queen
making conveyance, etc, nego.aA'ttbbs s
amongst other items OF business, the
transfer of the McKibbin lease to the
Queen. NoWlein was the medium OF
Communication between the queen
and myself and was frequently at my
house on business for her account
Mr.. Richard and Major Seward came
to my house frequently as friends, ana
I arranged certain financial matters
with Mr.. Rickard in the interests OF
the several agencies which have been
in INV hands for some time past
HFor my own part during the tlmS
named in the charge), my hnancial
and physical condition has taken Cne
whole OF my attention. ana since the
10th of June, 1887, have aostaln ne.
from dabbling in politics. Local us
turbances I have learned OF In COIL
mon with the general public by cur,
rent ruunors and through the local
press up to the time OF my arrpSf.
Since being brought before this Court
1if the testimony and confession be-
fore the Court are to be relied on), L
am learning a great deal Wild REGARD
to current affairs OF Wnlcn L never
dreamed, much less had hand In.
WThe meetings at my house at
which plans, commissions, martial
law orders, and the like are SAID 10
have been discussed, never TOOK place.
MAIl these persons called at my
house. but at no time was there
meeting I'm which any plans, designs
or schemes were broached or talKeu
about in the presence OF MAJOR sew
of the monarchy was talked about be-
tween Mr.. Richard and Mr.. NoWlein:
I participated in the conversation, puI
no scheme or plan involving armed
rebellion was concluded upon ol
HThe outbreak of the revolution was
as much q surprise to me as 10 any
stranger. had neither KnoWIeuSs
of it, nor any expectation that1t Woult
take place, and certainly never agreed
to take part in 1t, either as leader o.
otherwise. Whatever plans may nave
been discussed between us were neVe
accepted by US, or any OF US, In Tn
Others presence. The constitution an'
proclamations were written by me
Mr.. Nowlein's request, the former De
ing partly In writing and partly !,
printed slips. I never had any KNOW
ed1 whatever that had been selecte
as a minister under the new govern
ment and never was approacheo
talked to about 1t by anyone. III m
name was used in that connection
was used without my knowledge O
consent. When this matter was sIale
in Court on the I'D OF January 80, j
was the first Information had OF 1t.

Captain Kinney in his argumer
stated that the knowledge OF the III
tended use of bombs in the held ia
filled the community with feelin
of horror which the counsel woul
have us believe was timidity. If tn
fears were unfounded then no motto
should be taken OF this feature. In
was not true, however; the gener'
fear was not born of timidity. Th
presence of the bombs showed tht
the rebels were to take an unfair &C
vantage. The proposed action or "a
rebels were compared to that OF q III
buster ship which, with twenty me
and the modern munitions OF wa
could subdue the town from the ma
Dor. Should this be done 1t would
regarded as an act of piracy; the me
on trial were in similar position
had they represented the moral al
physical strength of the country
would be quite another thing. If
handful of men can go out and {
what was done on Monday night, an.
one else can do the same thing. Flu
thermore, the accused and their 10
lowers took no methods to secure
redress of grievance through constitI
tionaI methods, which were open
them-and, in fact, refused to ava
themselves of this opportunity. III
present outbreak does not bear a sen
blance of similarity to any previol
demonstration made by those now
control of the Government; evel
method possible-the ballot, press al
every possible avenue allowed by ii
Constitution was used before reso
to arms was made. The prisoners
question had not even made q stat
ment wherein they had been wrong
by the Government.
Mr.. Gulick had admitted that
wrote the documents in question, al
the claim of the counsel that this w
not an act Of treason was entire
without foundation. Captain Kiun
had no doubt there were men in t
town who were against the Cover
ment, but no man could lift ing
to effectuate or carry out the though
of his heart. It was nothing TO N
Gulick's credit that it was on
through one avenue that the Cover
ment touched him. 1t showed tn
he took extreme and careful measul
to cover his track-he was very c
cumspect and careful for himse
