Tbe hanging of Almede °battelle, the
murderer of Je•eie Keith, neer Listowel,
last Fall, took piece last Saturday at 8;03
in the west jail yard, Stratford, in the
presence of about 40 epectatore. At sea-
en
even o'oloek Father Downey, hie spiritual
adviser, drove to the jail and engaged fu
prayer with the condemned man for near-
ly threequertors of an hour, after whiob
the necessary preparations were made for
his execution. His arms were pinioned
in the Dell, end, beaded by Sheriff Flossie,
the procession of jail o0ieiale marched to
the scaffold, with Chattelle and Father
Downey following the jail surgeon, Dr.
Danamore and Jailer Nichol, Fether
Downey reading the Litany. Ohattelle
went to his doom with a Arm and elastic
step ; never once did he falter or show
the least sign of nervousness, although
his face exhibited an ashen paleness that
was, if anything, rendered more death-
like by hie jet black beard of two months'
growth. Elia countenance exhibited traces
of the worry and mental anguish that be
did so much to conceal. Arriving at the
scaffold Radcliffe, the executioner, tied
hie legs. At Bevan fifty-five he partook
of the sacrament. At eight the bleak sap
was adjusted, be not being asked, ae is
customaign at executions, if be had any-
thing to eay. Everything being in readi-
ness, Father Downey commenced repeat-
ing the Lord's Prayer, and when be had
reached that part, "Thy will be done," at
a signal from the Sheriff, the drop fell at
8.03, and Chattelle was launched into
eternity, Eleven minutes afterwards the
body was out down, and life wee pro-
nounced extinct by the jail surgeon. Tbe•
customary inquest was held.
The °rime for which Almede Chattelle
paid the death penaltv was one of the
most atrocious in the history of Canada.
On the afternoon of October 19th, 1894,
the nude and terribly mutilated body of
Jeeaie Keith, the 14 -year old daughter of
a respectable farmer, living some three
miles from Listowel, was found in the
bush on her father's farm. The coroner's
inquest developed the fact that the girl
had been outraged and her body then
mutilated after the manlier of Jack the
Ripper. On Ontober 23, lour days after
the murder, Ohattelle was arrested at
Cataract, about 50 miles from the scene
of the tragedy, with the clothing of the
murdered girl in hie possession. After a
short trial at the March assizes Chattelle
was found guilty of the murder of the girl
and sentenced to hang. After sentence
had been passed upon him be made a full
confession of the murder, bet declined to
give any reason for having committed it.
He was a Frenoh•Oanadian of about 60
years of age, and had led a roving life
from his youth. His counsel made
etrenoue efforts to have the asntenne com-
muted to imprisonment fur life, on the
ground that Cbattelle was not morally
responsible for the deed, owing to mental
disability, but the Minister of Justice de-
clined to interfere.
CnATTELLE'e eaaaaM.
Stratford Beacon : Tbe murderer of
Jessie Keith, it seems, is eubjeot to
dreams. A fete nights ago, as he slept,
be had a somewhat remarkable vision.
He thought that he sat alone in a small
bat beautiful boat. Tbe boat was on a
river, he knew not where, and although
he has travelled nearly all over tbe world,
Obattelle says he never really saw each
fine scenery as he fancied surrounded the
banks of the river. Just beside the water
the ground appeared to be somewhat flat,
but ae it receded from the banks it began
to rise gradually, till at a greet distance,
majestic sooty -capped mountain peaks
could be Been rising almost, the dreamer
thought, to heaven. Chattelle imagined
that the river was clear as crystal, was
several feet deep and had a bottom of
finest gravel. Its current was swift and
was euflioient to beer along the boat with-
out its oosnpant putting forth any effort.
Chattelle sat in the stern 01 the boat with
his head upright ae it glided swiftly on
its way. At length he saw in the dis-
tanes a bridge which was very high above
the water. As he approached it he low-
ered his head in order that he might pace
safely underneath. Alas for human
bopee 1 He did not strike the framework
but a wire naught him in the neck and in
an instant be was suspended between
heaven and earth, or rather between sky
and water, He suffered untold • agonies
for a few seconds and then awoke.
The early morning titin was not as us•
nal sending its bright rays into the oeil
but a dismal rain was falling and fa con-
trast to the beautiful river and the pic-
turesque scenery, the death vetch pacing
to and fro and the scanty furniture made
the surroundings even more cheerless
than ever.

POIeosnoo watt $OaPEOT$n.-The follow-
ing particulars concerning the sudden
death of Rev. W. Tonnage, of Paisley,
will prove interesting :-Coroner Patter-
son, of Port Elgin, opened an inquest
at Paisley, Friday, ou Rev, William Tor-
rance, whose Budden death Wednesday
has aroused suepieion that he was.poieon•
ed. .Evidence was given that deoeased
had formerly taken morphia to ease
sciatic pains,but latterly had taken
atropine for the same purpose. =The
reverend gentleman officiated at a funeral
the afternoon of his death, and on return-
ing called at the drug store of D. Bain
and partook of a draught of effervescent
nitrate of magnesia flovored with pine-
apple. Eight hours laser he died in
great agony, with symptoms of poisoning
each se vomiting, purging and paralysis.
Drs. Blank and Kaibfleieoh attended him.
The former swore he thought Mr. Tor.
ranoe'e illness was due to a mistake in
the draught given, and the patient made
a statement to the same effect. Tho
Doctor said the symptoms would indicate
poisoning, but it was possible that same
may have been oaused by a drink of ioe-
water when the body was overheated.
Hie impression was that death was due
to belladonna or its alkaloids. Dr. Kalb-
fieisch swore that he thought death was
due to apoplexy, together with rupture of
a blood vessel in the head. He caw no
eymptome of poisoning. Alex. Kalb -
Mash, drug olerk, told of giving the
citrate draught. No poisons were kept
near the pineapple flavoring used. Jesse
Monkmen, another drug aleck, was
present when Mr. Torrance died, and
heard him say, "I am ruined, this is my
last. I am afraid the dose I got at the
drug store was poison, or poison in it."
Deceased frequently remarked that drags
would finish him some day. The jury
returned a verdict of death from apo-
plexy. Considerable comment is made
upon the coroner holding an inquest
without a poet mortem examination hav-
ing been made.
