Ottawwo, 31n ('('11 15. The dt•athbe,l
confession of a -man named Baxter,
who died in St. \fichael'.e hospital.
Toronto, some days ago, stating that
Ile was guilty of a erime committed in
Manchester six. years ago, for which
Wm, Carey, en ex -soldier of the Royal
Rifle ;Brigade, is now serving a term
of fourteen years in prison, will be
laid before the Minister of Justice to-
morrow by B. E. Gagnon, of Toronto,
a former fellow -soldier with Carey.
(lagoon comes to Ottawa at the re-
quest of Carey'a mother, who became
helpless from paralysis when her son
was sentenced, and who is now living
in Toronto.
.'Che deathbed confession of Baxter
will be plated before Hon. Mr. Ayles-
worth by Gagnon, in order that pro-
per representation may be sent to
England to secure C'arey's release.
It will be remembered that Carey,
who originally flailed from Toronto,
while awaiting eentenee in Manches-
ter, .ought: to get back to Canada
again by pretending that he was the
murderer of little Glory Whalen near
Toronto in 1003, a crime whose bru-
tality shacked the whole Dominion.
It was proven, however, that Carey's
confession was n bogus one.
A few hours before his death in St.
Michael's Hospital last week Baxter
eoefessed to Archbishop McEvoy and
Rev, Father McCann that he was
guilty of the crime for which Carey
was spending a fourteen years' sen-
tence in Manchester. He signed a
writtenconfession embodying the
facts, and with the proofs of Carey's
innocence in his possession, Mr. Gag-
non reached the capital to -day.

The onlookers shouted in terror, but

were sent to the Harrisburg hospital
yesterday suffering from enlarged ton-

nxistake was sent to the operating room
with several other patients and operat-

The surgeons say they found her ap-
pendix somewhat inflamed, and, there-
fore, were not aware that a mistake had.
been Made until the parents called and
found that the operation had been per-
formed. The operation was successful
and the child is resting easily.
Strangely enough, the doctors say
she world have developed appendicitis

have been necessary anyway.
