Listowel, Oct, 26,—Tho prisoner wa.s brought from Stratford on the train, arriving here at 1.22. Busi- ness WAS suspendedana nearly every male resident of the town had eol- lected either at the station or in the vicinity of the lockup. In order to avoid all possible dan- ger of lyuelling the authorities resort- ed to a clover ruse. Tho train was stopped at Ballard's sideroad, the other side of Listowel, and Chief Mc- Carthy, of Stratford, and J. S. Cop-' pin, of Mitchell, who were in charge of the prisoner, alighted, Meantime High Constable Thos. McCarthy had driven down to the sidoroad with a : eab, and constables and prisoner got in, and were driven rapidly to the lockup. Here Constables Woods and Beattie and other specials were as- sembled. Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting through the aseemblage, but there was no disorder, and after a vigorous appli- cation of the batons the prisoner was placed under lock and key. Tbe see lock-up is situated immediately be-, • neath the town hall, and in a few Ininates the inquest resumed before Coroner :Rankin, County Crowe -At- torney Idington looking after the in- terests of the Crown. The hall was crowded to the doors, fully one-third of the audiencebeing women, at- tracted by a morbid curiosity to • catch a glimpse of the accnsed. Cheadle faced thecrowd unconcern- edly, and but .once fbrind fault with the evidence being given. Frequent- ly when the most damaging testi- mony was given, he would. remark, " that's correct," " th!at's right." From the beginning of the examin- • ation he bore the air of a man who would es soon die to -night as at any other time. Constables T. ' 13. McCarthy, of Stratford, and Robert Woods, of 140toevel, produced the various ex- Vibits, including the black valise and itontents, of the murdered girl's clothing. and the blood stained r • petticoat found around the girl's throat. The prisioner shifted his • restless eyes on the garments, but did not betray by the movement of a inusele of his face that he had ever • seen them before. The various • . • articles were one by one removed from the valise and placed on the table, tho prisoner regarding the movements of tho officers witb as little concern as though he were a ( $• spectator. The blue jacket with white spots - and a pair of bleck stockings marked "N" found in tk. valise, were re- cognized by William ielaynard, as. having been stolen from his clothes- line. He also identified a towel in the possession of accused. • •- Mrs Isabelle McLeod. of Ailsa Craig • told of the theft of the valise from 'her house on Oct. 2. She identified the - various articles, and produced a piece of the goods from which the rie blue skirt, found in the valise, bad been made, The blood -besmear- ed shirt was ale identified. .

"Yes, sir, that'sright" said the prisoner. Teskey alsoiold of a conversation he had.with Chat - tone, when the latter stated that he was 60 years old, although he did not look it. Ho. reeognized the blood-stained overalls as having ben gorn by the accused. . Then step by step the -crown traced the prisoner to the scene of the mur- der and followed hint without Inter- ruption to the plae where bo Was arrested. The chain of evidence was tOrnplete.
