Fugitives Are ostracized.

Greene and his wife live in splendid
ly-furnished residence in the most fash
ionable quarter of Quebec, near the
Governors garden. They are waited
upon by several servants, but they see
little or no company. In fact they are
bitterly ostraciZed, and the only persons
with whom they are seen, though re-
spectacle enough, are not of the better
class of local society. They are occa-
sionally visited by relatives from their
former home, such as children by Gay
nor's former marriage, but apart from
these they see very few persons except
on business.
Gaynor spends most of his time In the
barroom, where he is tolerated for his
openhandedness by lawyers and poll
ticians who drop in from time to time.
Mrs. Gaynor spends good deal of her
time in driving and horse riding, in
which latter sport she has been taking
lessons from an officer of the militia
cavalry. Mrs. Gaynor is an occasional
attendant at st. Andrews, the local
Presbyterian church, while Gaynor him.

Quebec.-As the result of the recent
decision Of the British privy council, two
fugitives from American justice will
probably soon be taken to the United
States to stand trial for their serious Of
tense against the laws.
Years ago, before extradition treaties
had been arranged with European coun-
tries, the Canadian dominion or the
South and Central American republics,
1t was common practice of American
criminals to seek refuge outside the boz
ders of the States" Canada, being
easy OF access, was favorite harbor for
embezzlers and defaulters, and many
there defied the efforts of justice to bring
them to trial.
Even after agreements had been eff
fected with most of the countries, men
who had decamped with considerable
sums preferred taking their chances
with the extradition laws and with
government officials whose decisions
they could often influence with their ILL
gotten wealth, rather than remain at
home where certain punishment awaited
them.

the same thing regarding the
character of the dead man and
the defendant, Sietse Boekout.
The defendant was called to the

morning. He related in astraight
forward manner how the killing
had occurred as near as he knew,
which was the same as had de.
veloped at the preliminary hear
ing and which was reported in

ing. They had had some liquor
to drink while in town and had
also purchased bottle of whis-
ky. On their way home they met
the defendant aud his wife on
the way to Twin Brooks to do
some trading. After the Kon-
stants returned to their home
they did some work such as set
ting some telephone poles. Later
the BOekOutS returned home and
after the horse was put in the
barn the defendant went to a
wood pile in the yard and
chopped some wood, when John
Konstan called to him from the
barn and told him that he had
better get some hay. Boekout
replied that he. Konstant, had
nothing to say about the hay.
George Konstant, the deceased,
replied that he had something to
say, though. The defendant
claimed that he then went into
the barn to gethis pitchfcrk, and
as he went in he said to the de-
ceased, "why co you talk to me
so rough, George?" He then
turned and star ted out of the
barn with the pitchfork in his
hand, and whep near the door
heard the deceased say some
thing. which he did not under
stand. but turned and looked
back. AS he did so the deceased
struck him with both fists in the
chest, the defendant falling out
of the door over q sill. and the
deceased in an opposite direction
into a staN ip the barn. The de.
fendant claims that as he saw
Kons tant coming toward him he
threw up his hands as any body
would to defend themself, and
that Konst stant was struck with
the fork, which he held when he
threw up his hands.
John KOnstant and the de.
fendant both tried TO revive the
injured man, but he died in q few
moments.
