Some Of the witnesses have started
a little ripple by attempting to argue
points with the attorneys. or by getting
nettled on account OF what they may
have considered rough handling. But
there has been no dallying and rapid
progress is being made. 1t is expected
however that the case will occupy the
greater part Of next week.
The court came in at $50, and Joe
Murray was. at once called back to the
stand and Mr.. McGillicuddy continued
his rigid cross-examination.
The witness testified that he had
snow shoes with him on March II, when
he went to his camp on Brassua pond
He made second trip to his camp on
the Wednesday following. In the mean
time, some four or five inches of snow
had fallen, and he would not be willing
to say that the tracks he saw going
north We're Terrio's.
On the redirect examination, he
stated that he went to Kineo, on the
afternoon of March H. Previously, the
defense had made point of his assist
ing Judge Turner Boswell in making
the map of that region. The witness
stated that he had nothing whatever to
do with the making Of the map; that
he had merely designated certain spots
to Judge Buswell, to the best of his
ability. Since Friday afternoon, he had
had opportunity to recollect better as
to the first time he saw Simeon New

August, on Moose river.
George Vigue of st. George, Canada,
was the next of the States witnesses.
He could not speak English, and DR..
Gelinas of this town, was called to in
terpret for him. He stated that he
had known Pare five or six years pre-
vious to the murder. That Pare had
come out of the woods on the Saturday
before the murder. Pare went to Kineo
on Sunday and brought back a bottle
of rum and a pocket book. On Mon
day, he left Goudet's somewhere about
7.?0 A. NJ The witness saw the
pocketbook. on Sunday, and thinks
there was s105 or SlO6 in it. He and
Pare had met Terrio on the ice, on
Sunday afternoon.
On cross-eyamination, he said he saw
the pocketbook twice on Sunday. The
first time was at Goudet's, when he
saw only silver coins, and no bills. The
second was at Louis Murrays. Pare
took it from his pocket in the presence
of himself. Joe Murray, and Fred
Pcoler. The witness thought, however
that Murray could not have seen the
yoctethcok from the way Pare took it
Ia
vas saying something about not being
able to make the Kineo clerk under
stand what he wanted. They took a
rink at that time. Witness returned
to Gaudet's with Pare, and when they
rect Terrio, Pare stopped a moment
20 talk with him. Walking ahead a
eeW sters, he called to Pare to come
a'on=. He didn't hear what the two
men said to each other. Joe Murray
came over to Gaudets in the evening.
.,boit $40 or I O'Clock, and stopped
until 10 or Whereabouts. They drank
some during the evening. Witness
knew that Pare was to leave for
Cana Ia on the following morning.
Pooler left the house with Murray, that
night.
On redirect examination, he stated
that Murray was perhaps four Or five
feet away when Pare took out his
pockethook at Louis Murray's.
Joseph Gilbert of st. George, Canada,
was put OIL the stand next. He had
been called the day before but as there
was difficulty in getting a capable in
terpretor that would be satisfactory to
bctn sides was put over until today
DIR. Gelinis acted for him. He had
worked with Pare and remembered
that one time Pare and Terrfo had
trouble over a stump in the road.
Pare once said that it would please him
very much to have one to fight with
and Terrio had replied: If you was
worth it you little SON I'd slap your
nose. The witness testified that Pare
and Terrio did not seem very friendly.
On cross-examination, the witness
said that after the first trouble Pare
mad gone away laughing.
John G. Calder, who was hauling
rocks in the vicinity of the murder, and
who warmed some tea at Terrio's
house. along about noon, on the day
Of the murder, testified that he did not
see Terrio at the house, that day. He
had been hauling rocks three days and
had heard the sound Of chopping but
that he did not hear any on March H.
On cross-examination. he admitted
that his statement regarding the time
was all guess work as he paid no par
ticular attention to the exact hours.
When pinned down he said he was sure
it Was between 1870 and ] o'clock.
This witness was inclined to argue
points with Mr.. MciGllicuddy, and
when the lawyer shook his finger at
him he would shake his in return and
come back with a counter question.
The witness finally admitted that he
heard chopping on one of the three days
he was hauling rocks, but he did not seem
positive as to just what day it was

next witness. Terrio. who lived six miles
