The watch and nearly 809 in notes were also found in the pockets. A coroner's inquest was at once held, and the prisoners were brought from the jail in order to be present. All the witnesses previously examined were again put on the s and. Mt.a't specula- tion was indulged in as to how Annie Parker would account for the finding of the coats, watch and money on the murdered mau'a body, and new dia- closures were confidently expected. None came, however, for her second statement was a positive confirmation of the first. She expressed no surprise on being told of what was found on the body, and said that the change could have easily been effected by the Os- borne» (who knew where to find the re- mains) while public " suspicion was aroused against them by the first state. meat of witness to the Sheriff, which was published some weeks before their arrest, or though the aid of friends since their committal. Site recognized the binding on one of the coats as the same which she had seen ElizaOsborne attaching to it. Mrs. Osborne had al- so asked the advice of a witness as to whether anything could be done to them should McCarthey's body be found with the watcn,clothes and money described by Annie Parker. 4. THE FIRST CLLrw. One of the Osborne girls, however, in an unguarded moment, adinitted to a friend that 11eCarthey had been there for a second ti:ue about midnight. They also seemed to have more money at their disposal than was usual for thetas. Matters were in this state when Annie Parker, a remarkably 'intelligent girl of about seventeen years, who had been employed as s domestic in the Os- borne House at the time of \1eCarthey's ellsappearance,left the family and came to Moncton. While here she made a sworn statement before a justice which resulted in the arrest of the Osborne family, which consists of Mr. and Mrs. Osborne, their daughter, Eliza, and their son, Harry, (the latter an ever - gratin boy of seventeen), who were charged with the murder of Timothy McCarthey. The first examitiatiou took plaoe en January last. The girl Parker was the leading witness agai ist them. 'The substance of her statement was as follows :—McCarthey returned. to the hotel about midnight. Duriug the time he was there in the company of Smith, the postmaster, a dispute -arose between McCarthey and Eliza Osborne, during which McCarthey pro- duced a roll of notes,and offered.' to bet that the was in the right.
