The chief .witnesses for the prosecution were Mrs. .Star, - formerly. Miss Georgie Graham; and 'her. husband, . the Rev, J. E.

She also testified: that the offence was repeated on two occa- sions afterwards.. - •• • ' Mr. Star's testimony was to the like -effect:. He said, that Mr. Willoughby left the room BO quickly on the Occasion when ' he was present -that ,he • did net apea.k to him, and nothing was .said between Mr.' Willeaglaby.and Mr. Star about' the 'occur:, rano° to this ,day. • 1 ' Evidence was givento show that . one member of the • cohgregation who,, itwas said, was taking an active part in the proeemition, was prompted by . animus against Mr. Willoughby. It veite alleged that when the ' minister firstWent to . Brampton George Graham was.his friend. He and his fainily,preesedMr. WiUoughby • to remaiteat then home,.

Another point' pressed by the defence was. Mrs. Stare toOtinned-aatinaaey with Mr. Willoughby alter the time when the offence was said to :have: been ..conareitted. It was shown that on the • Seturde.y. and Sabbath subsequent teethe tiree'velien :these. offences Were, said to have' been 'committed she was in the parsonage and treated Mr. Willoughby as her most intimatefriend.

She eontinued a mem- ber of his class. In the house of 'a friend • of Mr. Willoughby she declared that there had never been a minister in Brampton whom' she esteemed as. she did Mr. Wil- • loughby., both as a ,maia and a minister. Much more 'testimony 'was given in' 'the same direction. Another. part . of the defence_waetlitesetesd,.te .fsh_Ownig_t_b_at the young lady's.word was unreliable. . Evidence was given to prove an alibi, Mrs. Star stated that the first:offence was com- • mitted Ort'Sabbath, the lltlas,July, 1880. BY many witnesses the -minister's whereabouts • waeshown from half -past 10 in the morn- ing until half -past .10 at ,night .on that -- days and the only opp.ortunity for such an offence to have been committed was betveeen haltpast 5 and half -pest 6 in the evening, part of which time he was said to have been in the parsonage, and &nether part he was occupied in going .frem, the parsonage to the church. It was also stated that on that evening he took nO tea, and therefore • aid not require to be in 'Mr. Graham's house.. The service commenced at 6,80, • and at its close Miss,Grahani was -.decla-red to have been waiting for the 'minister at the door of the church td accempany him home, and to two witneesee 'she was -said to havetestified her regret that he had gone hoineavith, another' family instead of • with her.' This evidetice• was adduced . to show- that . be could not have , :given her any • grievous insult en the after noon of that. day.' . The second offence was • .placed bYs, . the complainan as on Monday • afternoon, 12th July Testimony was brought forward to 'show that the minister was in the company of Mr. Sutliffe or members of his family from 11 in the morning Until 8 in the evening of that day; before which time the Rev. Mr. Star had °erne to visit the lady, and was in her company during the evening. This testimony was strengthened by corres- pondence which' was found previous' to the trial, showing Mr, Willoughby'e where. abouts during the bents of that entire day, and showing -that Mr. ,Sntliffe Waft fltro. doting him to members Of his riOngregation during that data For the prosecution, Me. Star testified that en Wednesday evening; july, 1880. he and Miss Graham and Mt. 'Willoughby were in the room together; that he went to close the shutters, and looking over his shoulder be BUM Mr. Willoughby kis ,Miss Graham, and then quiekly run upstairs to • retire for the night. Mrs. Willoughby testified that either on Wednesday or Thursday even- ing she was in company with these three Persons in a room in Mr. Glaahana's house. Mr. Star was closing the shutters, and Mr. Willoughby and Miss Graham were engaged in some actof familiarity in her presence, but not kissing. Mr. Star. turned round and said, jocularly, " Take your hands. off that lady," or 'something to that effeot ; and the conversation continued as free and pleasant as before. It was further stated by Mrs. Willoughby and members of her family that Mr. Willeughby did not go upstairs in Mr. Graham's house at all that evening, and did not remain in the house, but that Mrs. Willoughby and her daughter slept together there, and Mr. Willoughby slept in the parsonage with his • Another witness testified that on the "Saturday 'previous to Miss Grea,harit's marriage' she told the witness"' that Mr. Star never -saw Mr. Willoughby • kiss her; but that he did see some act of ' familiarity which led him,to make use of stash' words'as those stated by Mrs. Wil- loughby. The defence also laid stress upon discrepanciesin the complainant's testi- mony. Three witnesses testified that she had told thenithe offence was committed only once, whereas' in :her testimony She charged it.Li. Willoughlsyswith having- coin- naitted it five times.. Three, witnesses testified that shehad told,thern that no one ever saw Mr. Willoughby kiss her. One witness testified that more than a year ego Mrs. Star told her of the occurrence,- and said that she had at the time told her father, who tee& Mr. Willoughby severely tce'titalt for it, but witness affirmed,that her father• . never had heard of the occurrenee till a fate weeks before the trial; about the' tithe Ice sent Mr. Willoughby the letter before men, • tiorted. The complainant stated tci two, Wit- nesses before the trial that when the first 'offence aeas given she .had telegraphed to; peterbore' for.Star to °time and protect her. It was proved that this telegram was sent. pretious to the Sabbath on.whialt. the first. offence was said to have been- committed.. • Mr. Willoughby challenged the complain- ant to bring forward the telegraph books, 'saying they mould f3Ubstantiate his state- ment.' It Was declared` by the defendant that the telegram was as follows: ,and ma, are :away; corn° quickly, we. will heve' a heavenly time." • •, 7The defence argued thatthis Showed -that' ,the,ladY'S, desire, was to have. Mr. Star's company. .In &Scribing the time when 'Star was said to have seen theoncurrenoe, Mrs. Star said that she waelounging on- a sofa -and Mr;,Star- was at the window, and Mr. Willoughby, rose from a chair and came,and kissed.lier quickly. On the other hand,..Mr. Star said that Mr. Willotighby wits en'the edit; a.nCMies Graham in a rocking chairs and: that Mr, Willoughby rose from the Sofa anaeseent teithe reeking Chair and Wised • he The: discrepancy ,was pointed out for the defence. There had been a couple. of slight alienation's: betweenMss Grahedn and Dlr. Willoughby; one inDeoember, 1880, the other in March, 1881., These 'alienations the -complainant 'attribuTed—entirelr to the act4-Stated'ur the charge. -Foy the defendant witnesses were called ho were conversant •Witli the • causes of those alienations, and by those twhlid previously related the facto to show that this charge had noth- ing -whatever to'do, with the alienations. •.It **alleged thatshe had told at least two persons preeioes to the trial that Mr. Willoaghley had never kissed her at all.. • This closed the defence, and the cesewas then considered by the committee, with the result that Mr. Willoughby was acquitted • on the .oharges. , The Connitittee's Deicision n Presentd. 1 • ,Subjoined is the finding'of the coin- naittee , appointed to investigate certain charges preferred by Mr. George Graham, of Brampton, against the Bev. N. R. Willoughby, M. A., of the same place : ' The charges preferred are the following: With having been guilty of improper •conduct toward Georgina Grilled', by kissing her on several occasions against her 2. With having been guilty of lying, in denying the same' improper _conduct on divers occasions. • The committee, having carefully weighed the evidence in the case, are unanimously of opinion that the charge of " improper •conduot towards Georgina. Graham, by .kissing her on eeveral occasions against her will " is not sustained, and their finding is that Mr. Willoughby stands acquitted on this first count of the indict - made an- humble apology, saying that he would never a--6 anything of the' kind again. Mr. Graham thinks that Mr. White, the other minister of the parsonage, Was ani- mated by a spite against Mrs. Stare, and by it remark of his left the impree- eion on the minds of the committee that Mrs. Starr endeavored to get up a flirtation with him. Some members of Mr. Willoughby's former congregation - travelled many miles to say that they would not believe their former pastor's word. Mr. Graham also asserts that Mr. Willoughby did not challenge the telegraph books to be brought. Mr. Graham also challenges Mr. Willoughby to prove any of the above statements untrue. ' Ker. Mr. Willoughby Rises to Explain. A despatch from Brampton, dated yes- terday, says: Rev. Mr. Willoughby in the course of yesterday morning's services announced that while he was "glad the charges preferred against him had not been sustained, and that he had on these grounds been fully acquitted by the Exam- ining Committee, he desired3o more fully vindicate himself with regard to apne point. He had been informed that his statements during the investigation had been contra- dictory because of , his refusal to answer a certain questime put by, him during its progress. Helad done this because it did not relate to the aocueation, and there- fore • was not within the bounds of the Examining Committee. He, however, Wished now to remove any improper" con- struction or wrong, inferences that may have arisen from this rumor, by avowing that he had been as guilty to every lady in the congregation as to t e young a y in question' and that no unchriatianlike con - cheat hadever existed between them. • The rev. -gentleman believed that had the plaintiff been in possession of more of the facts at the outset he would never have entered into the case at all,. and gave hina credit for more honesty than many of its abettors who had more secretly been Work- ing out the ends of toeir . malice. He. trusted this would be the last time he would have occasion to refer to this unpleasant _matter from the polpit." , • ILII.1.111D;IM1.A.

A Cony ct's Plot for Escaping from the Central Prisen, CAPTURE OF THE RUNAWAYS, About 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon two prisoners, named Moorhead,from Hamilton, and Holmes, from London, made a bold attempt to escape frem the Central Prison, Toronto. They were employed along with some other prisoners in the brickyard, when they made it einiultaneous dash for liberty. The guard fired over the heads of the •runaways, bigthis had notthe desired effect of intimidatingthem or stopping their career. They ran westward on the Toronto, Grey &Bruce Railway, the guards in full chase. Guard Crackle caught Moorhead at the Credit Valley. Railway station at Parkdale. Holmes continued his course across King street.to Parkdale, and was caught near the tollgate after it chase of about a mile and a half by Guard King. Moorhead le a netoriously badcharacter, having broken jail at this eity about - two years ago. He WAS sentenced to a year in the Central Prison forraising a racket in Cork - town. Himself and some others broke into selesred houses. there and behaved itta very outrageous manner. He appears to have been at the head of a rather extensive aing formed for the purpose of escaping from,the Central. He lees; short man, ratherthick set in aPpearance, and has light hair. He is also eine of the most notorious blackguards that the police have had to deal with. He appears to be it ,maia of some executive ability, and possessed the confidence of the men - with Whom he came in contact, as it has been since learned that the plot to escape was an open secret among the gang employed in the brickyard for several days previous to its execution being attempted. Holmes comes from London, and is down at the Central on it charge of • larceny. The Chase gave rise to consider- able excitement in the usually quiet. village of Perkasie, as Holmes dashed along reek- lees_of_conitecotences, and regardlesee of _the 'firing of the pursuing keepers. -.Holmes is a good runner, but the • staying power of King was too much for him, and he was,. • caught, thoroughly winded, as stated above, at the toll -gate, Parkdale. • Moor - ,head vainly endeavored to elude the vigil- ance of his oaptiir by hiding in the recesses' of the station, and when.' brought out • appeared much dejected at his want of success. ,He will now have a great respect • for the Lvigilance-of the guards at Toronto, and in future confine his operations to offences Which will 'not cause him to be 'sent ta the Central Prison. CROSS/NG- TIME PALNI Prosecution ot an Alleged Fortune., nimprugniorio 'DISAPPEARANCE. Joliette Blacksnsith Leaves Suddenly on the Eve of His Marriage. - • A Montreal despatch says : Mysterious disappearances are deeidedly the order of; the day. In two instances the 'missing Ones bavelOrtiMatelybeen. recovered, and it is to be devoutly wished for that in the , ,present case the whereabouts of the. miss- ing blaisksmith of Joliette may soon be dis- covered and his distracted fiancee comforted thereby. The facts connected with the 'latest mystery are as followe: One Racine, it young and , well to do blacksmith, of , Joliette, soine time ago fell in love with a fair young Canadian girl, Miss' Payette, from Como, hithe concession of Pinenige„ tier's were warmly reciprocated, and the wedding was fixed feelast Tueeday morn- ing. As bit often the oustoto in the country districts, 'a grand ball Was hed on the eyening preceding the :day of the nuptial • ceremonies, at which ell the neighbefewere preeent.' EVerybodyeeemecl to be enjoying themselves thoroughly. Racine paid marked attention to his intended, danced with her the greater part of the evening, and about midnight he and some of his frienda went outuide of the house to enjoy a make. On returning the lovely bride vvas noticed to be the partner of an old flame of hers, and was evidently too much fascinated with the mazy. waltz I tie pay much attention to her blacksmith lover. Whether this fact has anything to do with Racine's disappearance it is diffiOUlt to say, but at ,all' events he was not many minutes PO the room before • he again retired 'outside, and eince that , time no trace has been found of him., It iEl • aseerted in some quarters that Racine was only too glad to get any excuse taget rid of his intended, on account of the bad repute of some of her relatives. Racine is well-to- do, has a good business, and leaawi a large amount of money and Property behind him. An Ottawa dispatch of Saturday night's date says: • The case elf Mrs. Buckan, a colored woman charged with pretending to tell - fortunes, which was adjourned from • 'I'hursday, came up in the Police Court this morning.. The first witness celled WaB a, good looking damsel of about nineteen summers, named Harriet Cole, whose face • kir fin suffused with 'srtiles and blushee as she stepped into the witness box. She tes- tified as follows.: I know the prisoner,1 who lives on Cut,nberland street ; I was at to - to get my fortune told; Mrs. Buckatt told my fortune with cadse- I paid her 15 cents' for it; I don't exactly remember what she told me off the cards; she didn't tell me anything very particular;' she told me a lot of things, but I -can't remember what they were; after she told my fortune I asked her how much she charged, and she said fifteen cents. The names of some halt dozen other young ladies who had beet 'sub- poenaed were then called, but none of them put in an appearance. Mr. Gibb, who appeared fur the defendant, argued that there was no authority for the passage of the lave against fortune telling under which • the information had been laid. His'Honor said. that even if the by-law was ,not valid - the defendant could be prosecuted under the statue for obtaining money under false pretences. He dieoharged the prisoner on conditions that she commit the offence no more, but if she camesbefore him again od eimilar charge he would commit he under the English Act against fortune telling or the Canadian Act against re- ceiving money.under false pretences. Mr. Graham, .the father of the young _lady, alleged. tie have been kissed by Mr. Willoughby, in it litter fe- a newspaper denies that his daughter said she was kissed more than 'three times. Mr. Wil- loughby threatened to do her husband injury if ehe told about the kissing. After she had consented not to tell he again seized her and brushed her cheek with lie lips. While Mr. Willoughby was holding revival Bervices he again kissed her against her, will. This is corroborated by • Mr. Starr, who steady main- tains that he saw Willoughby kise her while he wars closing the , French shutters. Up to the time of the kissing Mr. Graham say % that he was on goodterms With Mr. Willoughby. After Mr. Graham heard of the kissing he wrote to Willoughby saying • that he could attend his church no . longer. Willoughby then visited him -and asserted that the whole story was it lie,. .The member of the con- gregation who was Said to have prompted the investigation from animus , against .Mr. Willoughby gave evidence on the trial, and, denied having circulated the story against Willoughby. The unkind conduct towards • Mr. Willoughby at the closing quarterly naeeting of the first year consisted in resist- ing being bullied by some members of the Quarterly Board into handing over to Mr. Willoughby a surplus of $200 on the year's receipte. This we believed to be illegal and also injudissious, considering that we had already paid Mr. Willoughby a good (salary and the church was in debt. In referenee to Mre. Starr's corittnued intimacy with Mr. Willoughby, he gave a sufficient reason in. that Mr. Willoughby came to her end BLACKMAIL EXTRAORDINARY. llOw an Ihiterepalells Ypiing Fellow Tried to Raise 110neifrOM HIS EXT.RAORDINARY LETTER .
