in MAKIN .1 IMIII .T:ita SPEECH. '
Stratttlyd, (Mardi 28. • - At the
assizes, before Chief' Justice Armour
this morning, Queen vs. Chattelle
was • the fir=st case called, prisoner
being ella•rged with the murder of
Jessie Keith near Listowel on Oct,
LJth last. I. he court room was ,
packed to its utmost capacity.
Chattelle's con lin e=lit 'has removed
Some of the tan from his.faec and he .
now wears spectacles on account of
weak eyes. After the indictment ,
lead been read the prisoner pleaded
" Not guilty." 111r, II. M. East of
Toronto, had been retained for the
defeneo by relatives of Chattelle,
and it was intended to plead in-
sanity but on arrival here he learned
from the prisoner that he wished to
onduct his owls defence. So Mr,
,,,East withdrew.
Mr. Idington, County Attorney, is,
acting for the Crown, and •after the
1 , jury had been seleetccl,. related the
oireumstanoes attending the disap-
'pearance of Je,ie Keith and. the
finding of the bads in the bush and
its condition. 1 -Ie also traced the
prisoner's mo.velnents from Ailsa
Craig to the scene of the murder and
from there to Cataract where the ar-
rest was made. The connection be-
tween the clothes stolen from Mrs.
- McLeod, at Ailsa Craig, -with those
found on the body in the bush and
,./I on Chattelle's person when arrested,
was'also shown.
These . facts - were all clearly
brought out in the evidence given
this morning and although Chattelle
occasionally questioned the veracity
of witnesses he was not able to make
points of any great account in his
favor.
When the evidence had all been
put in, Chattelle was given an op-
portunity to speak, and addressed
the court in this meaningless fashion;
I have a secret, which 1 will give
if the court wishes to hear it. The
subject is to go on according to the
• Gospel. Any more information is to
your own kuowledge. Can give bets,
s
ter developments later. than. at the
present time. Such was the King-
dom of Heaven in the first place,
' and in the second place a corruptible
church.' This is as far as I will
go."
"9 When asked by the judge if he
(.,bad -anything Mahar to say, the
prisoner continued thus : " Nothing,
ei:cept that I am pleassa with the
court as far as it has gone, but
would rather nu`. open the case un-
less insisted upon. My complaints
are that there will be objects either
added or diminished, further than
-. that there will be nothing in it.
-Ar.. Being once more requested by bis
• Lordship to aa .tress himself to the
jury, he added, •`I throw myself into
their tender u.t;iey'and-care."
Chief Justice Armour, in a half-
hour's address, revie wed the evidence
very carefully, and explained to the
• jury their duties in the ease. Itis
Lordship made no reference what-
ever- to the possibility of the prison-
er's insaniity.
The jury retired at 4.30, and after
a delay of ten minutes returned with
a verdict of guilty.
The scene which followed was to a
- degree dramatic. Hideous as was
the prisoner's crime, and void of all
feeling as Chattelle appeared to be,
His Lordship was affected in passing
ae11tallea, • and Ilia :lauds trembled
ii / visibly as lie began leis i'eniarks to
..the prisoner. Chattelle received the

"Correct, sir," replied Chatellc,
with an expression flitting across his
face that seemed to indicate a dawn -
ng realization of iris dreadful posi-
tion.
The prisoner was at once removed
to the gaol.

ductory remarks, proceeded with a

evening's amusement. The bride
was the recipient of numerous and
costly presents; showing the esteem

brought to a close, all wishing Mr.'

'Report of the Inspector of
Prisons, &o.
'In his report upon' the common
gaols, prisons and reformatories of
the Province Dr, Chamberlain gives
some interesting figures as to the
prevalence of cringe in Ontario dur-
ing the past year. He is unable, 11e.
states, to,report a continued diminu-
tion in crime, such as occurred in
1893. ' There in an increase of 831
committals, although even with that
there is a decrease as compared with
the figures of 1892. Of the increase
rather over -half arises from com-
mittals for pretty larceny, trespass
and burglary. The number of
males committed was 8,06.3, an in-
crease of 883 ;, the number of females
1,387, a decrease • of 52 ; the total
number being 9,450. In committals
of boys and girls under sixteen there
are decreases of 110 and 3 ,respec-
tively,
Sp
tively, the decrease in the number of
boys being partially accounted for
by many being sent to the Industrial
School at Mimico instead of to gaol.
The convictions in 1804 represented
60.93 per cent. of the committals, a
decrease from 1893, when the pro-
portion was 69.11, In the case of
'drunkenness there was a decrease of
378 in the number of committals. A
comparison of the statistics for 1894
with those of the past twenty years
shows a favorable •condition in the
present management of the gaols
throughout the Province. The aver-
age cost per prisoner was a little
less than fourteen cents per day.
The inspector draws attention once
more to the bad practice of keeping
friendless old people in the gaols,
Which he severely condemns, re-
commending the erection of suitable
county •industrial homes. The num-
ber of professional tramps, he reports,
has greatly decreased, the strict dis-
cipline and compulsory work of the
s'aols "discouraging these ,;entry.
