IS MACWHERREL THE MURDERER?

• hollow mockery on lustite. 1f Ma• a uta
K t t s the murderer he should hang tike a
. dog for the brutal crime, but e1 he is merely
to be made • legal scapegoat because the
. finding of the real uourderer berths the de-
tectives and police authorities, it as • di -
grace to our c,vilt,ation.
True, it is 000teoded that there is a strong
chain of circumotaotal evidence, and legal
luminaries will tell us that circumst•atiel
evidence
is the strongest evidence, but the
chain of circumatantal eyelets°. must be un-
broken to be of value, and the slightest break
or weeklies, to the chain should count in
favor of the accused. Tb*. has not leen
doee to the °use of Al A. .c u►anu.

vices of it 1t. lht.[k, •. 1' , &e Crown praise
cuter It is well known that lir. t 1-i tk is
the greatest criminal lawyer in 1'amide to
day, and hie ability to secure a conyl.tInn,
with or without circumstantial evidence,
when employed by the 1'roan, is only e
heled by his aptitude in obtaining au a:
qutttal fur his client whether moment or
guilty when he holds a brief for the dr
feriae. This is not hearsay, for the writer
has a personal knowledge- and appreci.te.n
of Mr. 11.1 1:K', great abilities and has
fully watched his earner during the put ten
or fifteen years.
Anyone who followed the Brampton mur-
der trial will remember that there were uu
portant phases in it where the evidence for
the prosecution was weak iudeed. The testi
moray of the policeman who claimed to have
seen M I S *11 Sit El. and IV II.h l -K driving
on Cohere et on the Thursday night after
the murder, •: 10 o'clock, is s case in point.
11'e don't pretend to know the estimate to

constables in the Huron Tract undertake to
piece out evidence after • fashion that was
intended to carry conviction, but upon
which the jury would not hang a dog. Tae
witnesses had no intention of pereuring
themselves they merely wanted to do the
best they knew Law to vindicate the Lw
and secure . cenvL$i.s in the Interest of

The attempt to prove that the stains cin

human blood failed early in the case, and •
number of other points weakened under

dente against the blatant young Englishman
is that he had • horse and cutter belonging

"SPREADING THE LIGHT:"
( INE of the most laughable things

graph in the Tory newspapers drawing at-
tention to the fact that, at great cost to the
proprietors and an anxiety to prove how
enterprising the respective sheets are, ar
rangemeota have been made for the employ
merit of one of the foremost iournelists of
['ands to furnish each of them with • par-
liamentary suynrnary from thaws, which
will appear weekly ID the form of a supple-
ment.
As • matter of fact. the supplement does
not coat the gifted editorial liar one eeat, but
is furnished at the expense of the Tory
election fund to every sheet,'fury or other-
wise, that will rue it through as a supple.

that eminent political iawsmith and feeder

literature free of postage.

Tarr Si....u. does not find fault, however,

tents so far u •' educating " the people is
concerned. W. only object to our esteemed
contemporaries lying about the special en.
