Doyle Murder Trial

Morden, Man., Nov. 6.--When the
court rose yesterday afternoon in the
Doyle murder trial the case for the
crown had been almost completed.
The crown counsel secured an early
adjournment, saying he was waiting
for important evidence from Winnipeg
by which he hoped to be able to in
troduce some of the dispositions ia
ken at the preliminary trial to the
court 1t is inferred from this that
Ernest Bailey has been located and
the crown expects to be able to intro
duce his evidence.
A sensation was created in an ar
,gument beween counsel which lasted
for good portion Of the sitting, re-
sulting through the serious mistake of
witness In an answer to a question
by the prosecuting attorney. John A.
johnson, a witness for the crown,
made the astounding statement he had
seen Weller alive at his home in North
Dakota on the evening Of Monday, Nov.
20, on which day the crown is endeav-
oring to prove that Weller was MUIR
dered by Martin Doyle near Snowflake.
The crown counsel was naturally
taken somewhat by surprise by this
'StASAPSAtVu oIuLCNhCuI VI Ills WlluVSS,
and pleaded with his lordship for the
right of cross-examination, on the
ground that the witness was hostile,
A lengthy argument followed, in the
course Of which a previous witness
was put in the box to prove johnson
had made different statements to the
one he had just sprung on the court.
In the face of this and other arguments
advanced, his lordship consented to
a cross-examination of the witness to
a certain extent by the crown counsel.
When the witness was again put in the
box and asked how he could reconcile
the statement he had made with
declaration previously taken that h.,
had last seen Weller on Nov. 10, he
1admitten he had made a mistake. in
testifying and it was on Nov. 20 he
had seen Weller and the declaration
previously taken was true. This re-
lieved the tension that had been Great
cd in the court room. and the trial
proceeded on the even tenor of its way.
Crown Case Nearly Finished.
The principal evidence presented by
the crown was that of John Boesl and
John Johnson who had been deputed
by the neighbors of Weller to go to

the Battleford district to investigate
the report that Weller had been seen
there. They had been unable to find
any trace OF him. This same witness
johnson admitten in his cross-exam-
ination he had seen man whom his
appearance he thought was Vincent
Weller in Battleford after the latter
had left North Dakota. The crown will
undoubtedly conclude its case tomor-
row.
John Boesl, q shrewi, hard headed
German from the Mount Carmel dis
trict, occupied the box most of the
morning, and he proved one OF the
best witnesses that has yet appeared.
MIR. Bonnar has made quite a reputa-
ton in Morden when it comes to the
rapid fire cross-questions, but he
might as we'll have butted up against
Il stone wall as to rattle the phlegmatic
German. Not only did Boesl prove
hard man to excite, but he was quick
witted as we'll, and got in several ready
retorts at the expense of the counsel
for the defense. Boesl was the first
witness called. He
Knew Both Doyle and Weller.
and last saw the latter alive about
three weeks before Nov. Is. He was
one of these who went to Snowflake
to soc the badly, and identified it by a
scar on the leg, and also by peculiar
teeth. The witness deposed he had
gone to Battleford to see If he could
get any trace of Vincent Weller. There
he was assisted by the mounted police,
and also by Mr.. John A. Johnson, the
man who lived on Doyle's farm. A
letter was produced by the crowns
counsel and the witness said he had
seen it before at Battleford, on Dec.
26 or u, of last year. The letter was
signed by John A. Johnston and the
witness and had been written by John
ston's wife. Mr.. Potts filed the letter
tor Identification. MIR. Bonnar object
ed to this, claiming that it was entirely
irrevelent, and that all the evidence
of the witness should be stricken out.
In answer to further questions wit
ness said he had arrived in Battleford
on Dec. 90 and left on Dec. 90. Dur
ing this time he made diligent search
for Weller, together with the mounted
police, and found
No Trace OF the Missing Man.
In Characterization the witness
said the search around Battleford was
confined to the south. They went out
So or 30 miles. They did not go to
Doyle's farm. At Logan's store, to
which point they went, they were told
there was no enc On the farm. He
could not say he knew this to be a
lie. The witness was too modest to
admit he was about the best Dutchman
in Mount Carmel or that he was a
leader among his countrymen.
He had never stolen horses, and did
not know anything about an old man
named Croker losing $500 while in
the possession of the witness.
