let wound in the arm.
When the body had been delivered to
the relatives for burial, the coroner
ordered Mr.. Armstrong to destroy the
) clothing. In doing this, a bullet steel
Jocket dropped from the underclothes.
Inc attorney general of Canada, at
the request OF our county attorney, or
dered tine remains taken up and a
thorough autopsy performed.
Dr. Cloutier found the shape of the
| wound IN the breast the same as that
which the State claims would have been
made from the steel jacket discovered.
The State also claims that the wound
in the left arm was caused by a par
tial bullet.
Mathlas Pare was a young French
boy VINO came over from Canada and
had worked in the region two or three
| winters in the woods, and one summer
haying. Tie was employed by Silyere
Gaudet the winter of the murder. He
worked until March s, and on the fol-
lowing day he settled with him, giving
| MN $l.50 in money and q time bill for
$1o6.5S. Pare went out from the camp
and down to Gaudet's house. On Sat
urday, he failed to get the bill cashed,
owing to the fact that he could speak
very little English. Gaudet came
down nome, and on Sunday, Pare got
| his money. At Kineo, He purchased
quart of whiskey, familiarly known as
q ''lOng-necker,' and an old-fa shioned
wallet.
He then had at least s10050 on his
person, which amount he must have
had at the time of the murder Pare
treated Gaudet and his hired man with
the Whiskev; and, later in the day,
treated several others who came to the
house. Gaudet returned to his camps
about noon. He is said to have eXhib-
tied his pocketbook during the after
mood. With some of the other men he
went over the Joe McDonald's. About
S o'clock, he started back and, meeting
Terrio on the ice, stopped to talk with
him. In the evening, there was some
hilarity at Gaudet's.
Mr.. Cover then traced the course of
Pare so far as it has been learned, from
the time he left the camp Where he had
been employed until he left his friends.
The experience of Joseph Murray, who
went over the tote road the same morn
ing that Pare did and who discovered
| the snoWshoe tracks that have figured
in the case, was next discussed and al
SO that of Simeon Newton, who noticed
the blood stains in the road.
The money question was then taken
up by Mr.. Cover in connection with
the motive for the crime. This is
claimed to have been robbery and the
State holds that Terrio was flush inl-
mediately after the murder without any
good cause for it being shown, while
the defense has claimed that the money
he used was taken with him from Mad
ison. This was gone into in detail by
the county attorney, several business
transactions in which Terrio was en-
gagged about the time of the murder be-
ing described, including the trade for
the Raspberry farm.
In closing he took up the microscopic
examination and experiments made by
DR.. Whittier with shells and rifles.

opening, 81 of the States witnesses

He made the maps and diagrams re
Ia ting to the case and testified regard
ing these. giving detailed description
of the locations and distances. He was
on the stand when court adjourned at
noon until 9 o'clock in the afternoon.
The cross examination commenced
at the opening of the afternoon session.
The witness stated that the Murray
trail was located through information
obtained from Joseph Murray and the
snow shoe tracks near the body
through information furnished by Sim
con Newton The witness stated that
he had employed Newton through an
arrangement made by County Attorney
Cover. When asked regarding the
cross on the map showing the location
of the body, Mr.. Boswell, after many
questions admitted that the spot was
indicated by Newton.
Mr.. McGillicuddy examined the wit
ness very closely regarding the details
of the map, as there are several i'm
portant points connected with it. The
witness stated that there was q good
opportunity for men to hide in the
bushes on the sides of the tote road
near where the body was found.
When questioned again by Mr. Cover
the witness stated that there was also
some open country near where the
body was found. Mr. McGillicuddy
had occasion to object to leading ques-
tions several times during this part
of the examination, one instance be-
ing when Mr.. Boswell was asked con-
corning a board that had been nailed
to tree to mark the spot where the
body was found. The defence appar-
emily considered it important to deter
mine exactly who had located for him
the point on the tote road where the
body had been found. The witness had
some difficulty in remembering with
certainty just who had done this, Mr..
