The most revolting case of an unusual- ly filthy docket opened at Stratford on Friday morning, March 80th, that of the Queen vs. Allan Boyd, in which the prix• oner was charged with haying carnal knowledge of a girl under 14 years of age. The aourb room was again packed, but the best of order was maintained and the • evidence wee elicited by counsel with as much regard for decency as the case would permit. Mr. Idington, Q. 0., was the Queen's counsel and J. P. Mabee con- ducted the defence. The private prosecutrix is a pretty lit- tle brown.eyed girl, with hair one mass of ringlets ; alight in stature and just past thirteen years of age. The crown's theory of the case is as follows :—Mrs. MacLeod and her 13.year.old daughter, Penny Ann, were living with the prisoner on hie farm in the township of Elma, the former as bis housekeeper. The prisoner made a praotice of taking the little girl. Peony out to the barn with him, presumably to hold the lantern while he was doing his work. On these occasions be was in the habit of crimin- ally assaulting her These assaults be- gan in the sprang of 1893, and were con- tinued until about the first of January, last, wttb the result that the little girl is now enceinte. The little girl was put on the witness stand, but owing to her delicate condition she was given a sent beside the judge, and with tear•obained eyes ebe then told her story and answered the questions of counsel. Witness ,said she was living with her uncle, John McLeod, of Jlma, when she first met prisoner. She went to his place to live about three years ago. She did not know whether or not her father was alive. Boyd's father lived on the farm with him. Witness visited her stmt, Mrs. McLeod, at Brussels, about a but as he was under bonds to produce the year ego, and also another aunt, Mrs. girl at the Assizes he refused to let her 1 McKay, in Grey township, about three go.

Wit. mi therein in seine dstalle did net oorree• pond with her prosonb teatlmony. Re-examined by Mr, Idington witness said Boyd had not molested her when Hurrell was around, Ilurrell broke his arm last summer and after that 0000r. renoe i3oyd repeated his assaults, On being closely questioned witness said Boyd had not assaulted Ines until three months ago, as well as she could remem- ber. She mold remember the first es• Sault but not the date on which ib was committed, It was oold, and snow was on the ground. Prisoner had never coax. ed her ; he simply tripped her up in the barn. Harrell left Boyd's a couple of months ago and she did not see liim again until he vieibod her uncle's house a week ago Inst J:'nesday, Witness was afraid to tell her aunt when questioned about her condition for fear site would receive a thraehing ; alis acknowledged that her aunt bad said to her "That old brute, Allan Boyd, hoe been at you," When the aunt of the witness called for ber Boyd did nob want her to go, saying that she did nob have fit bootie. When her mother said witness oould go, Boyd swore at witness for wanting bo go, The examination lasted three hours, and was far from satisfactory, owing bo the inability of witness to remember dates, months or facto, She several gimes oontradiotsd herself, bob her youth• fulness and her delicate condition pro- bably accounted for this lank of memory, Mrs. McEtty, aunt of the last' witness, lives in Grey township, fourteen miles from Boyd's farm. She swore she had known the little girl from birth, and psis• oner slightly. filer nieoe, Penny Ann, was born on March Iii, 1881, at the house of the witness. The child's father left Seaforth to go to Debts, in 1882, He continued writing home until '87, when his letters ceased. Witness said her neioe, Penny, had visited] hor aunt, Mrs. McLeod, at Brussele, in the summer of '02, end returned to Listowel in the fall of the same year, where she remained until witness took her just previous to Christmas. Witnses discovered hor con- dition, and asked if "that old man Boyd had been at her." Her neioe answered in the negative, but afterwards admitted that ib was the prisoner who had assault. ed her. Court adjourned at 1 o'clock for lunch, When the court resumed at 2 o'clock the croas•examination of Mrs. McKay by Mr. Mabee was resumed. The mother of Penny McLeod brought Win. Burrell to the house of witness and said he was the man guilty of assaulting the girl. Witness asked Harrell if he was guilty but Hurrell did not say any- thing ; he hong his head and walked away. Burrell did not say to witness that he was the guilty man. Witness mistook Hurrell for a Boyd, until Mrs. McLeod explained otherwise. Mrs. Mc- Leod told witness that she bad brought Burrell to her house to gain consent of witness to his marrying Penny. Witness was "stunned" at hearing this proposal; she did not give her oonsent. Re was a man not very prepossessing in appear. anoe. Witness thought at the time that Horrell had come to her house with the intention of lying about the matter, Thee thought made her angry, Witness did not ask the mother of Penny on this occasion whether or not the girl had con- fessed to her relations with prisoner. In answer to a queebion from Mr. Id, ington witness said she had asked the mother on a previous eceasion. Dr. Holmes, treasurer of Huron Co., gave testimony as to the birth of the girl Penny Ann McLeod. He later on testi- fied that he had to -day examined the girl ' and found her in au advanced etage of pregnanoy. It was a most remarkable occurrence, he said, to see a girl so young in her present condition, and he thought the manner in which she had been used would have a tendency to affeob her brain, John F. McLeod, uncle of the girl, Penny McLeod, in his testimony said that at the preliminary trial at Listowel the prisoner asked him what about his marrying the girl, at the same time say. ing, "It is all among our own family any. way, Jack," Witness did not reply to the proposition. Gross -examined by Mr. Mabee. Wit. nese said he did not suggest that prisoner should marry the girl. Be bad an idea that Mr, Morpby, counsel for prisoner, was told by prisoner that witness broach. ed the subject of marriage. Re examined by Mr. Idington. Wit- ness said he asked Harrell, when he vis- ited Mrs. McKay in company with Mrs. McLeod and Miss Boyd,. if be was respon- sible for the girl's condition, and Harrell, after considerable hesitation, said he "guessed so." Burrell said he would marry the girl, and witness said "I would not like to see any friend of mine marry a fool," Harrell threatened ',to thrash witness but he turned the tables on him. To Mr. Mabee witness admitted that he struck Burrell first, and ran across the field after Mies Boyd but did not in- land to strike her. He ordered MuLeod and Miss Boyd off the premises. The mother wanted to take the girl away THF BRUSSELS POST itetsmissaismosnourensneenasentessnrstrauturassessitar nese testified as to the general health of hes daughter, She was aware of her monthly illness bub did not bother her head about the matter. As far as witness knew these siok spells did not visit her daughber regularly each month. Witness remembered allot her daughter was ns, well shortly after' her return from Brus- sels about a year ago. Wjtneee was not aware bhab liar daughter had removed her bed into the room occupied by Hur- rell.. The room in which the girl was supposed to sleep was not cold, but there teas no fire in it, There was a stovepipe running through IIurrelt's room. Witness positively swore there was no lantern at Boyd's plaoefrom ivlarob,1806, until three clays before Christmas. She herself woolly went with Boyd to the stable and held a lamp for him, Witness never knew of bar daughter a000mpany. ing prisoner to the stable with a lantern. Rho Bald a pedlar had visited Boyd's farm some time about March of last year. Did nob remember asking her daughter about her torn olpthing at that time. Witness bad prep with a misfortune sinoe her hus- band left her, lout prisoner was nob res- ponsible for her trouble. She wee nob married to prisoner and had no intone; in his welfare, beyond being employed by bine. She saw Burrell two wanks ago last Monday. Witness stated positively that her daughter had never intimated to her that Boyd lied oriminsl connection with her, She had no knowledge of ben daughter's condition until prisoner was arrested. Oross•examined by Mr. Idington.. Wit. ness did not remember telling a woman that ebe was washing her daughter and Boyd to prevenchim from getting her in- to same oondition in whioh he had pit witness. She did not bell any person that she watcher! the Tight of the lantern every night Boyd and her daughber went into the stable. Witness did not, ae well ae she could remember, tell Mrs. McKay and others who were instrumental in Boyd's arrest, that the arrest cvoatd de. prive her and her child of a home. • When witness wsot to Mrs. McKay aft. er prisoner's arrest Mrs. MoKay told wit. nese the girl had accused prisoner of the crime. She did not, if her memory serv. ed her rightly, propose to Mrs. McKay that prisoner should marry her daughter, nor did she mention the like to anyone. Did not say to John McLeod that she would be pleased to be a mother to Penny Ann if she would marry Allan Boyd. Did not remember saying privately to anyone at the Listowel court, during the pre- liminary hearing of the case, that if she had done right she would have out the little devil's throat when she was a baby. Did nob remember having said at the same time that if Allan Boyd was not liberated she and her obild would be de. prived of a home. Witness said when her daughter left Boyd's house in con:. pany with Mrs. MoKay she was properly clothed. The girl wore a pair of Boyd's boots, but it was her own choice to do so. A cheap black dress was produced in court which witness identified as the one her daughter wore on going away with Mrs. McKay. Witness said it was new at the time. The dress shown was of a eboddv, blank material, in rags, and in a most filthy condition. Witness claimed it was new about six weeks ago. Cross examination resumed: Witness never took her daughter into bed with her during bbe oold nights, or while she was staying with prisoner. The girl was obliged to sleep alone. She refused to answer a question as to whether or not she and the prisoner .occupied the same bed room, Agnes Boyd, neioe to the prisoner, was called. The defence want. ed to take her evidence concerning Her. eel's confession to Mrs. McLeod, that he woe guilty of being the oauee of her daughter's sad condition, but His Lord- ship refused to allow the evidence to be taken. Mrs. McKay was recalled by the crown to answer an unimportant question but this also was ruled out and the evi• deuce closed. J. P. Mabee clearly and forcibly reviewed the evidence for the de- fence, claiming that all there was to con- vict the prisoner was the unsupported story of a weak minded girl, who, in her present condition, was likely to be posses. sed of ballueinabione, and to take im. aginary thoughts for actual occurrences. It was Mra. McKay, he argued, who suggested to the girl the name of Allan Boyd, and she has ever since maintained that he was her betrayer. It was just possible that taking her clue from the name suggested she imagined the prison- er was the 'man , who had ill used her. He asked the jury to give this matter their careful ooasiderabion. There wee not evidence enough to convict and the prisoner could not be seat to the peal. tentiary on suspicion. John Idington, Q. O., addreaeed the jury on behalf of the crown. The girl's story, he said, may nob be striotly correct as to the dates, but she was quite clear as to 000urrenoss, and from her evidence there was every • reason to believe the prisoner was responsible for the troubte. He pronounced the performance gore through with by the mother on behalf of he defence as a sham, and iu scathing aaguage held the woman—the paramour f the prisoner—up to the contempt of ury and the pebiio for her heartless egleot of and unnatural indifference to er child. The girl swore that when three was around, the prisoner had not olesbed her.— Of course he did not was when the prisoner and the girt ere alone together thab the assaults ere eon:mitred. If there was any round for the insinuation that Burrell as the guilty party he would have been reduced in court by the defence. There ae nothing inconsistent in the girl's idenoe with the theory that the prig. ler was the father of the unborn child. her reviewing the whole evidence and bitting out its abrong points he closed calling the attention of the jury to the at that the prisoner and the mother of o girt were preparing to leave for the etas jest before lie was arrested, as Tong corroborative evidence of the man's fit. His Lordship charged strongly againeb e prisoner. There were two questions them to decide, be said, and they re :—"Did the prisoner hove oarnal owledgo of the girl, and if so was she der 14 years of age," Abont the latter thought there was no doubt. Dr. OImes' evidence settled that point. It nld be unsafe to convict the prisoner he girl's evidence it elle were some re older and not suffering from phy- al disorder. But her lack of educe. n, and her trying position rendered her mination dafdeult. The "hallsoin. ails" Wl ioh the defence held up as a rd for rojeeting her besbimsny were tvever, as muoh in the favor of the wn as of the defame, and while her rad seemed a blank so far as dates and t. eeaeene were oonanrned, there -was abroog oorroborative evidence as to t eeoeurren. Des she enumerated, One of the strong. set was that furnished unintentionally by bbe heartless mother. Ib will he remem. bared that the girl said ebe was first at. tacked by the prisoner shortly after she returned from a Visit to Brussels in i3areh of 1$011, The mother tells us that about that time she noticed stains on the girl's clothing which indicated that she was unwell. It was for the jury bo de. nide ]low thet illness was caused. Ms Lordship Characterized the grime as one of the most awful that ever had Dome nndsr hie notion, A young life had been bleated to satisfy the lust of a man, Who was that man 3 Was it the prison. vr, was it Harrell or somebody else 2 Who more likely than this man, who had the ohild's mother as a paramour, and whom the latter without thought of her child's blighted life oame into comb to defend at the expense of her child's honor—the man who said to the nnole after the preliminary examination at Listowel, that "it was all iu the family anyway," and was willing to marry We child to avoid further prosecution. His Lordship then denounced the oondnot of the mother in such soothing terms es to thrill the heart of every listener, and when he turned from this dark picture and in eloquent language pointed out the only one gleam of sunshine that flickered in from the north east corner of the dreary scsuo—that of the faithful and kindly aunt end the honest upright uncle who had taken rap the Oanse of the child, which the inhuman mother had deserted determined that ,justice ahonld be done— ib wss diilloult for the spectators to resist the desire to applaud. The jury retired at 7:40, and after an ab+anus of en hour retutued a verdict: of guilty. AO]» 5ET5 TEN Inane. Allan Boyd stood up humbly. He had nothing to say for himself. His Lord- ship classed prisoner's offence as the mast revolting in the whole record of crime investigated during the week. He said it was the worst he bad ever met with during his experience while practio. ing at the bar or on the bench. Death by hanging was the extreme penalty for the crime. Prisoner's conduct was so ouirageoue that he was not a safe nor fit man to be at liberty. He, therefore, senham:ad him to ten years in the peni. tentiary. The prisoner bowed his bead and re. seined his seat. The woman, McLeod visited her para- mour Boyd in the gaol an Saturday after he was sentenced. She told him she would go to Kingston and find employ- ment there so that she oould visit him in the penitentiary occasionally.—Stratford Beacon.
