The Matter Of Motive.
Touching briefly on the case of tha prose

question of motive, IL was immateriai

only strengthen the contention Of the pros.

While disclaiming any desire to 30 into
the question of the various chemical analy-
ses Of the states experts, the recorder new.
ertheless reoapitulated the results and re.
minded the jury that they had revealed the
presence of about % grains Of arsenic and
~ grains Of anthony in the stomach and
contents OF the stomach Of Mrs. Bliss.
Referring TO the contention of the de-
Tense that there was arsenic in the hismuth
prescribed by Or. Bullman, the recorder
said he did not recall that they had intro
duoed any evidence concerning the pres
ence Of arsenic in these particular powders,
and even If there was the prosecution had
introduced evidence to show it would have
taken seven pounds of hismuth to furnish
as mucR arsenic as was found Ia the stom'
aoh Of Mrs. Bliss Besides, be commented
with evident irony, he had heard no con
tention on the part Of the defsuss that an
tiinony was contained in the bismuth.
After his reading tho recorder reminded
the jury that q reasonable doubt was not
a mere suspicion, an imaginary doubt. but
substantial reason based on a lack Of
evidence. Absolute certainty vas not pos
sible often, be said, but if the evidence
satisfied their Judgment beyond any such
imaginary doubt. they wore In duty bound
to find against the defendant.

The Jury Says She Did Not Kill
Her Mother.
TWELVE HOURS DEIIBERATIoN

The Verdict of AcquittaI Was Received
With Great Applause In the Courtroom
The Defendant Showed Little or NO
Emotion.
NEW YORK, June "a. Mrs Mary Alict
Fleming, accused Of having murdered hei
mother, Mrs. Evalina NJ. Bliss, with poi
son, was acquitted after the Jury had de
liberated on the evidence for ~ hours.
when Clerk Brophy asked Foreman
Charles b. Poor If the jury had agreed up
on verdict, he replied:
''We have. Not guilty"
In an instant the crowded courtroom
was filled with joyful uproar. Every
man clapped his hands and cheered Mrs.
Fleming did not lose her oomposure. She
was Immediately surrounded by an enthu.
siastic crowd who shook her hands and
congratulated her.
In summing up the case and presenting
tho evidence to the jury Recorder Gon
Said "In spite of the mass of testimony
and the abitruse nature of much of 1t this
case comes down to a simple question Of
fact concerning the guilt or innocence OF
this defendant.
Then be called the jury's attention to
the fact that in order to make out a case
Of murder in the first degree the elements
OF generalization and elaboration must be
established. After dilating ON the fact
that reconciliation and elaboration could
only be inferred or determined from what
was done the recorder went on to say that,
above all, murder by poisoning furnished
the most conclusive evidence of premedt
tation.
With these preliminary generalities'
which the recorder RING the changes upon
in varying forms, he took up the matter
of the rules of evidence and reiterated to
the jury that they were the sole judges OF
the facts, but they must take their views
OF the law from him. They must also
carefully exclude all comment Of counsel,
all answers to questions which were not
allowed, all the things which counsel an
nouncrl they could prove, but failed to do.
After more generalities concerning the
manner IN which the credibility OF wit.
nesses could be impeached, the recorder
took hOld of Soheele the expert chemist,
and told the iurymon that If they thoEght
his crediibiity had been successfully inn
peached they could discard all his evidence,

WHY UPPER LEFT OFFICE.

Notes Between Sir Charles and Lord
Aberdeen Made Public.
Premier Laurier has presented to par
lament the correspondence between Sir
Charles Topper and Lord Aberdeen in
respect to the resignation Of the late
Ministry, says an Ottawa, Ont, CORE
spondent of the New York Times. The
correspondence begins with a memoir
andum from Lord Aberdeen to Sir
Charles Upper and his Ministers.
His excellency proceeds by saying
that if Sir Charles attempted to meet
Parliament, the result Of the general
elections was such as to insure his de-
feat 1t was therefore in the public in
terest that Parliament should be called
together for the dispatch of business as
early as possible.
Lord Aberdeen then went on to re-
view the whole circumstances which
brought about the collapse of the Gov
eminent, pointing out the very peculiar
position which Sir Charles Tupper's
Government occupied, being formed af-
ter Parliament had elapsed by time.
At the last session there were sup
plies passed, and it was in the inter
est of the country that they should
be heard as soon as possible. His ex-
| cellency also decided to do nothing
which would embarrass the incoming
administration. His reason for refus-
ing to make the appointments of sen
ators and judges were that they were
made for life, and, as the senate was
almost wholly conservative, the APP
pOintment of more conservatives at
that time might result in causing fric-
ton between the two governing bodies
The judges. too, were nearly all con-
/ servatives. On this point Lord Aber-
deem said:
These are life appointments, and
with them, under such circumstances
/ as at present, it would seem proper tC
leave all other appointments and the
creation of all new Offices and appoint
ments for the consideration of the in
coming ministers. unless always such
. a course is shown TO be in the public
interest"
Sir Charles Upper replied at length
to this memorandum. He started cut
+ by saying he would frankly admit the
/ views of his eXcellncy, and that they
had caused himself and his COLLEAGUES
much surprise ind regret. Sir Charles
/ recites the particulars Of what hap
pened after the defeat of the Bowel
/ government, and his taking the office
up to his defeat at the polls.
The action of his excellency Si1
( Charles looked upon with serious ap-
prehensions. He then cites constitu-
tionaI authorities with the view OF
showing, that the defeated ministry
should continue to govern until such
: time as their successors took office
The fact of there being no supplies
was entirely due to the obstruction of
