t;lrcunrstaautiai Ievideuce.
At this stage Mr. Blackstock read a list of
a score of cases in wnitih innocent men had
been convicted and in some cases executed
owing to their positive identification by
*sitnesess elho subsequently found they were
mistaken.
Where is the Motive?
Where was the motive for the murder/
The crown did not preteud to contend that
Birchall murdered Benwell for his money,
but their theory was that it was done in
order to induce Colonel Benwell to send out
the £FiOO. While many of the statements in
the famous letter were untruths, others were
such us must se event Birchall secur-
ing the money unless Benwell was
alive. The instructions to send the
money insured in the names of both parties,
prevented the possibility of Birchall securing
the money unless Benwell also put in au ap-
pearance. If he was dead and Birchall knew
it, how absurd for him Ito suppose that he
could obtain the money! It proved that
Birchall expected Beuwell to turn up in a
few days and write to his father. The
journey of Birchall to Princeton and his
identification of tbe body was cited as an ad-
ditional proof of his innocence, while the fact
that ou his previous visit to this country the
prisoner had been under the alias of Somer-
set was explained by the fact that he was a
bankrupt and did not wish his creditors to
know where he was located. The presence
of Benwell's keys and gold pencil case in
Birchall's possession was another proof of
his innocence; bad he killed deceased would he
have kept these. incriminating evidences in
his possession when he had a chance to
destroy them ? In conclusion, Mr. Black-
stock warned the jury that they should give
the prisoner the benefit of any doubt which
existed, and when the truth was revealed, as
it would be some day perhaps by the con-
fession of the real murderer, they would be
glad that they had acquitted the prisoner.
Mr. Blackstock concluded by referring to
the devotion of prisoner's wife, who had
clime like a beautiful garland around his
neck, displaying the greatest affection and
trustfulness in his innocence when. the clouds
which surrounded him appeared to be the
darkest.
A Terrible Arraignment.
Mr. Osler began his reply at exactly 3,35.
He remarked that in February last a young
Englishman comes to this couutry full of
life andhope, and a few days after he is
found foully murdered in a swamp. A duty
devolved upon the community to find out
who committed that crime. The duty has
devolved upon the crown; the crown seeks
no man's life, but nevertheless this duty re-
mains. Some of the jury might be opposed
to capital punishment, but this was no place
to discuss such a subject, since as they had
taken a juror's oath they must fulfil that duty
honestly and conscientiously. Mr. Osier then
pointed out to the jure" that it was their
duty to find a verdict according to the evi-
dence presented. Should it turn out subse
quently that such testimony was incorrect
they were not to charge their minds with
the responsibility therefor; it was upon the
witnesses the responsibility rested. Let us
first consider, said Mr. Osler, the reea-
% , tionship which existed between the
prisoner and deceased and whether
from that relationship there was
any object in the murder—any gain to the
prisoner, for the effect depends upon
the background the view you may take
of that relationship. In the out-
set it is fair that you shduld
consider the weight to be attached to circum-
stantial evidence. If society cannot depend
upon circumstantial evidence then all crimes
of skill and deliberation must go unpunished.
The Motive for the Murder.
Mr. Osler, under the head of the object of
the murder, referred to the experience of
the prisoner,in Canada from December, 1888,
to May, 1889. With that knowledge and ex-
perieece of the country he proceeds to Eng-
land:. '':Boa he oicupled hitnrelf from May

The Exeter Fair.
The Fortieth Aunutl Fall Fair of the
Stephen& Usborue Ag'1 Society on Monday
and Tuesday, was one of the moat success-
ful in the annals of the Sooiety, Being
favored with fine weather, the first day
brought out all the ladies with large and
beautiful displays of their handicraft, the
farmers and fruit growers with excellent
exhibit& of fruits, roots and grains; while
the second day witnessed the largest dis-
play of stocit ever seen in Exeter, in fact
by far a larger number than at any previous
show. Iu the /aside department,
the
ex-
hibit of fruit was of a superior class, far
ahead of that seen at the London or Toronto
fairs, while roots and regetablesfllied their
large hall to the utmost. The inside exhibit
could not well be beaten. The outside
show was also of that successful character
which merits a few words of commenda-
tion to those who took part. In the horse
ring, in all glasses, were animals which
would denote careful breeding, especially
the one, two and three-year-old ; there
were also many finely matched teams in
draught, agricultural and road classes.
The cattle, sheep and pigs, formed attrac-
tive features of this year's fair, all classes
being filled. In many instances much
difficulty was experienced by the judges in
making awards, Poultry, etc., was also
well represented in all classes. As regar is
crowd there never was a larger attendance
at the Exeter fair, The receipts at the
gate amounted to $950 which allowing 20c
as the average admission for fee, together
with a ntemberahip of about 500 each of
whom got three tickets, would place the

ed friend knows teat et the close of the case the
prisoner has a right to stand up in the dock
uud snake an explanation of the eircumstan•
nes, to trill the jury any plausible tale ha
likes and I canuut cross-examine him. He
cannot, although his life is trembling in the
balance. He prefers to remain silent and seek
to discredit the evidence of the crown, eon•
sequeut upon little disagreements. It wail
open to him to show whom he mets with
whom he dined; but in all that Niagara
country he cannot find a man who will come
forward and say "I saw him.” He made au
arrangement to send a telegram at '2 o'clock.
And now as tothe identity/ If you believe
any one of these 'witnesses as to prisoner
having been identified in any spol
it covers the whole journey. The
crown does not have to trace him all along
the journey. Cau you say to yourself that
Miss Lockhart and Aiies Choate are mistaken
and that Conductor Poole is wrongl Do you
take the responsibility of rejecting their
oaths? Then as to Altred Hayward, whom
Mr. Blackstock has particularly selected out
for criticism. What interest has he in the
matter except to tell the truth/ And yet be•
cause he could not pick out a grey constable
with a nondescript face from the gallery,
rendered indistinct by a cross -light, the de-
fence claim that his story reconguizing a
man whom he knew as Somerset is false;
Could any of you gentlemen pick out your
own wife or daughter from the near seats in
that gallery? M.r.Osier next referred to the tes
timony given by the various witnesses who save
the two oleo going eastward to the swamp.
Let's see bow toe time -bill of these witnesses
will agree. The journey would take 1 hour
45 uriuutes to reaen the swamp. So that if
we start these men from Eastwood at 11.14
and allow them S3' miles per hour, which is
a fair pace, they could not reach the
swamp till 12.30, 21 minutes to 1. Presuming
that the prisoner left the swamp in time to
catch the train if it was on time, the latest
he could leave was 2, so that he had a
margin of time of 1 hour and 86 minutes.
There may have been some of that time
taken on Inc going journey, some of it was
used in the swamp, anti be may have lost
some time in the return journey. But
there is that margin for the deed,
for the cutting of the clothing and
for the return. Now we come to the retard
journey, and we nave the evidence of twd
witnesses positives: identifying the prisoner.
'Why should they ue disbelieved? What fui
terest had they? New there is a peculia
value iu the evidence of Aline Smith. Did
she quail under tue vigorous attaint of my
learned friend? Did sue give you the im-
pression of a girl who wits nut telling the
truth? It is more than ideutilicutiun by a
passing glance. It is toe identity of the in.
uivi:lual by eonversatiou. bhe kuew the matt
but she mixed the names. Six months be-
fore she knew which was Dudley and which
was Somerset. This is just one of the little
things by which it can be told the witness is
telling the truth. If sue has made up the
story she would have no preliminary doubts.
Then as to the weather. The fall of rain
on Wednesday night the 19th was so slight
that the water -gauge at the Woodstock ob.
servatory would not catch it, but the coat
sleeve ot the victim caught it all or enough
to make a solid cake of ice therein. On ti
