JARDINE'S
CONFESSION
t'eotmud from Pass z
what Jardine raid at the first ezamio-
•tion.
In the interval between the visit on
De°emlter:loth and the next one on
March 11, 1►r. Swith familiarized him-
self'
im-self' with all the details that the Crown
could supply with rrgwd to the crease
*uppcardly rnrumitted by Jardine.
On the last visit the first thing talked
of was the prisoner's whole life, on
which Jardine talked freely. It ap-
peared that the family stlrroondinp
were litnytbing but favorable to the
breltbj' growth of a boy. He bad for
several yearn teen a victim of a habit,
and he acid that Dr. ?Smith was the
first person ever to warn him about it
sod to speak kindly to him. Dr.
Smith told the prisoner that be and his
emu pan it were not detec ti ves and that
'het were not there to do him barns.
They told him that they were not there
to get any information from the pris-
oner w it h regard to the crime, but only
to make it repo, t In the t'ro•vu as to bis
Imdily and mental condition.
Dr. ('lark examined the prisoner and
made brief notes concerning the whole
tf .Sardine's history. The prisoner
suited on this o.cca.ion that he had
bad mobbing to do with the murder of
Lizzie And.t:•on and was not "worry-
ing at.ut it.' Dr. Smith said that he -
fore they got thruugh with their talk
with the prisoner they bad gained his
entire confidence. and, said Dr. Smith:
"i think I bate hie coofidente yet; 1
know he be. urine. I did not want
him to make any confession of guilt to

only waiting to remake further state-
ment~ an impulse prompted by the
kindly tnikr with pis.
Aeled tv Mr.. Dance- if he would
consider Jardine an imbecile, Dr.
Smith said. •'No; I would close him as
only a sexual pervert
At the conclusion of the evidence
given by 1►r. Bruce Smith. Dr. Clark
t.e.l the stand and stated that the ex -
at troll made of the prisoner on De-
cemis-r:aith last was confined mainly
to simple testa of the prisoner's mental
capacity. The witness Atated that on
then ascend visit to the pi -wooer on
March Ilth they had no expectation
thet Jardine would make a statement
place et the interview ..n Mares 18th
was put in as an exhibit.'
Than several pager of widener given
t.y Jardine at the Inquest, in wb he
told of hi. actions the day of the s
were read to the jury. This fin
the case for the Crown. Part of e
verbatim interview of Dr. Smith and
Or. Johnson with the prisoner on
March 18th was read to the jury. In
it Jardiue repeated the details of how
he decoyee the girl tv the lonely house
and there inu+dered her, and also of
what be did afterwards, throating the
knife with which he steadied the girl
over the lake 'auk, near Harbor Hill.
Only five witnea•ee were beard for
the defence. Two others were called
but were not on hand, and the Chief
Justice ordered the eviience to be
dosed. concluding Thursday's sitting.
Dr..1. B. Whitely, who bad known
for pristioer for twenty years and at-
tended him at the time he met with
an accidents last summer, as recently
as four days ago be tied examined Jar-
dine. He found him in a peculiar
state of mind. giving contradictory re-
plies and showing evidence of a poor
memory.
"At the time of the alleged offence,
doctor, would he be in • position to
appreciate right and wrong?"
"He would 1.e able to telt just before
the frenzy seized him, but after that it
would take a great deal to interfere
with his actions. The frenzy might
last while he was cutting her throat
and also cutting off her clothes."
The witness told Mr. Blackstock
that duriog the years be had known
the prisoner be bad not regarded him
as an insane person at all.
1►r. Walter Smith, of Bayfield. con-
side►ed it veru hard to tell when the
frenzy overcame the murderer. He
believed that pele.n would not know
the nature t f the crime at the exact
ttrce it wan committed.
1►c. Wilson Herald. of Godericb.
coucurred in the theory that a person
in the circumstances mentioned would
not know right and wrung at the ex-
act moment of committing the crime.
He added that if interfetente hast
caused him to resist the act might
have been attempted later.
