I saw him laet alive on the 27th Augnist, le was g o on the steamer Seymour. on a hunt- thg on up the lake to the head of the Pe- insul a. e said he was going to Eagle Harbour have seen the prisoner on the ,Seystoar. He was porter on the boat, 1 saw him the day Dean vent away. 1 next saw the prisoner about two weeks after at the Fishing Islands. ITe came on board the steamer. I heard at the Tslancls that Dean was Missing. Mercer came down to Gode- ich on the steamer. • I stopped off at Port Elgiii und came down next day: I had quite a talk vith Mercer on the way from the Islands, about can. He told me that Dean was drowned, he aid. the boat upset out of Sight ofsland. He said ean went right down, as he had a lot of lead in is pockets, the prisoner heist on to the boat, and i. couple of fishermen came along and picked him tp, and righted. up the_boat foe him. The men old him the wind was fair for him to go to the slands, and he was to steer for them. He said ie was three days and nights before he saw land, hich was called. Big Island. He said *Dean's runk had a bear trap attached to it, and it sank hen the boat upset. He said they had been teering towards the AMerican shore when they ere upset, He said he had Dean's jacknife .and h6wed it to me, It is the one now produced, ' also show-edine some money, He denied hav- g Dean's watch, He had $3900 on his person, nd said he got it for wages on the Seymour end. 'tar, I next saw Mercer in gaol, It was the ext day after he came downfrom the 'Blanks, here was no one in the cellbiltthe boy alid y object in 'going then was to see if he could ac - omit better about the money ; also that the boat ould not have upset as the rowlocks would have lopped out had she turned 'over, and there was lot of dirt in the bottom 'of the boat which was her when she went away from here, I gave im the money back, when I counted'it; andtolal im he had better give Mrs,. Dean the knife, and 11 her al1 about it, I recognize the money now rodu.ced as that I counted when he showed it to e, Thepocket-book was dry as also the money, telegrap ecl from Pot Elgin that the, boy was ri the boat, and that from the story he had told e he ought to be hrested. In the jail I told m that if he knew ere any of Dean's things ere, .he had better tell me so they might be re- vered. I nevergave him any inducement to tell me ything. I knew from what I heard at the la- nds that he had Dean's watch; I told him so, d he said, he had dropped it between the lining d outside shell of the Seymour, and could not t it out. I told Mr. Trainer that the watch as there, and he got H. Marlton, the ship -build- , to go along and bore a hole in the limng, and found the watch. It is the one now produced the next -evening I went up to the gaol again, d saw the prisoner. I took the watch with •e, and showed it to the prisoner, and said to m I had got it. " He said` yes, that is the same Watch," I told him that three Indians had eome down from Eagle Harbor, who said they saw a a dead body lying back in the woods. This was • merely to try and find out what effect' it would have on him. - I told him that must be Dean's body, and asked him to tell -whole the body was, as his wife would bo very glad to get it. He then said that Dean was not drowned. I told him if he Would tell me where the body was, I would. try and get him out of gaol to go with me to recover it, and- that after he had shown me 'whore it was, I did notthink the friends would bother about him, (the prisoners.) 1 never made him any promise, of any kind, or threat to make him confess about the murder. I told him I thought he would get Off easier by telling about the matter. I might have led him to think that he might escape after he showed me the body. I am the owner of the Sellinotir, and merely went up on her for a trip. Mr. Dean and -I were part- ners in building the boat, but he sold out to me some time before he went away. Mercer told me where Iwould find a buffalo robe belonging to Dean also a small sail, a small tent, and ati oar. He said they were near where they camped. He traced out on a Fiiece.of worth() ,place on the Island. Ho also told me where he threw Dean's trunk and bear trap into the water. He told me where I would find Dean ;and said he could show me the exact spot if he went with me.: He said he threw two guns belonging to Dean overboard and that the were near the truuk. He said the chain got jerked off the watch when he took it out of Dean's pocket, and that it was quite close to the body, under sonic brush. Onthe Wedneal day, a party consisting of Mr. Trainer, Capt.) Dancy, Mr Moorhouse, Mr Hosker, Mr A Law-. son, and myself -with the prisoner -went up to the lake in the S6mour as far as Southampton, and then took a fishing boat up to Eagle Harbor, where the body was. He first shewed us Where he could get the robe and sail, and then took us to where they first camped, and then ((hewed, us the route into the weeds. The traek W as blazed init was about five miles into • the woods before we got to the place where the body was. Before wept quite up the prisoner stop- ped, and I asked him if we were near the bodye He said "Yes." Capt. Dancey was a little ahead and called- out that Dean's body was there. He recognized the body to be that of Dean, by his moustache and clothes, alao by a breast pin he had on him the same* as now produced. • Be also showed us where Dean's game bag was. It was in a small creek; a shot bag was also picked up at the same place. He showed. us how Dean lay when he shot him. He said after he shot him he straightened out his arms. We found the body laid out just as Mercer told us. When we were looking at the body, prisoner shewed us where he stood when he shot Dean, it was about thirty- two feet off the- 1)04.- • Dean was- asleep when he Was Shot. He said be went behind a knell and fired at Dean, and shot him through- the head.. He pointed. out to us where the ball went in., It was on the left side of the head. It was rather hard to find out anything about the wound asthe body was very much decomposed. The face was quite bhiek, and thehead swollen. Prisoner said a small money bag we picked up was Dean's. We:put the bodyr on a piece of canvas and rolled it up, and carried it to the beach, when we put it in a coffin, and brought it to Godecieli. The prisoner took u3 on shore on Main LStation• and shewed us where belied put Dean's ring, and also the compass. :here is a stone house on the is- land, and behind it, he said,- the ring1was under a stone. Mr Trainer lifted up the stone and found the ring. When .Deart wore the ring it had a device of the square and compass- on it - but that had be.en erround eff. The compass was got for us by the prisoner. _ ( Ex. -Mercer said pea,ti bit him with a gun, and he ran awatinto the woods.. He said -it was on Sunday night and early in the evening. He said Dean fired some shots. that way, after he ran away. He said he was afraid of Dean. There was a bottle in the game bag, con- taining liquor; also some pork, biscuit, etc., in it. They -did not find any bottles at Eagle Harboi. The boy said Dean had been. drinking onthe Sen - day. He thinks he drank threit ot four times. There were more bottles of liquor but they were in the trunk and svere thrown overboard. Pris- oner said Dean acted rather. strangely that day, and after he. struck him said, "1 will fix you -in the moroing." - Dean was a very sober man, I never saw him under the influence of liquor. Prisoner worked on the Seymour. I often saw him there. I never noticed. anything peculiar about him. He behaved very well on the trip to Eagle Harbour and back and steered the boat back. part of the way. He could not find the trunk, as the lake was too rough, neither could we find. the guns, When we broughtth e body down here, we put it in Mr Detlor's warehouse at the* wharf, • • DR. MeMicKANO-sworn. I am a Medical practitioner. 1 made as good an examination of the body as possible.. I found an opening in the right side of the head a little to the -Tight of the ear of about half an inch, and passing through the skull. Aboat a half of the skull on the left side was carried away. There. was no brain in the skull as it has softened down, and ran out of the hole, caused by the bullet. CAPT. DANM-sworn. I knew Dean. On the day I heard. about Dean beineer drowned, I went down to the SeymoTr to see. the boy. He was not on board, the Captain said. he had gone up to Mrs. Dean's. I found him .there and he told me that Dean was drowned. He said that Dean wished him to go up with him on his hunt- ing trip, and that he asked him fifteen dollars a month.. Dean paid him thirty d011ars for two mouths wages in advance*. They left Eagle Har- bor on Friday. Dean said. he wanted to get across to the American shore, and go down to Buffalo. On Sunday the breeze was very fresh and they were afraid they could not manage the btet. In the afternoon a very heavy sea came into her capsized her. He said he got hold of the centre board and held on to • it, Dean sank and never rose. A beat made for where he was and picked. him up, and .erighted the boat. He said, everything was lost Out of the boat excepting an oar. 'The men told him he had a fair wind and to go ahead. Mr. -Rosker was present when 1 had the conversation- with prisoner. I was -with him•about two hours altogether. Mr. Story was, also present. Iwent a second time to aft the boy, when he said Dean was not drowned, that he had left him en the shore hunting, and came away with the boat, He said Dean told him he did not want to come back to Goderich any more, and that he had given him this money to come here and report that he was ;drowned. The Engi- neer of the Seymoyr had the money. He took if from the prisoner.1 did not see prisoner again till -we went to get the body of Dean.. On the way up at supper time I stayed in the state room with prisoner. I never offered him any induce- ment to tell inc any thing. He1 commenced to tell me how he shot Dean, and told me about the same as he did Tolsma. He said Dean hit him with the gun on the back, and said 'he would fix him.' He then ran away in the gully, and he heard Dean fire two or three shots into the woods. He was afraid Dean would do something to him, and he had a gun loaded with shot and a bullet in it as well. Dean was lying asleep when he came back, and he took Up the gun and shot ehim: He said he shot him in the ear. We went into the bush guided by the prisoner; and found the body. Prisoner looked at the body and said he was sorry for what he did. The body was de- composed. The boy did not point out where the bullet went in. He said after he shot him, he went up eo the body and took his watch off him. He said after he shot him he straightened out Dean's arms, and raised his head. k 1108KM-sworn. When we went to get the body of Mr. Dean I asked the prisoner if that was the body of Mr. Dean, whom he shot. He said it was. My reason for asking that was, that the body was so much decomposed that it was al- most impossible to identify him. I asked him if he did not commit the murder for the sake of getting thomoney, but he did not answer me. He said he thought he had more inoney than was • found on him. I was on the Islands when the ring was found. . B. Titantsat-sworn. I know the prisoner. I first heard that Mr. Dean was drowned on the 14th Sept, I asked him what became of Mr. Dean and he said he was drowned. ; He said the five dollar gold piece he got from his uncle. I saw him again and spoke again about the mats ter,. and he then told me that he got the gold piece from Dean, also the paper money fo his wages. I went up to Eagle Harbor in charge of the prisoner. He told us where we would find the Btiffalo rebe and the other articles before mentioned. 1-ile described ho -w he committed the murder. He'said it was done about midnight. He said he intended to give the money to „Mrs. Dem. The breast ,pin now produced, Ito*, from the ,bedy of Dean. He described the spot *here the ring and compass could be found, and we found them as he said. He said he took the ring off Dean's finger. He told me several times that he was sorry :for what he had done; but that if any one ever did him an injury, he always -wanted to have revenge. J. Meeeeu-sworn. I am the father of the prisoner.

He was ill tor a long time after, another time I found him under the manger in my stable, where he had been pitched by the horse, and when 1 lifted him up' to stand up, he could not do so. He seemed asif waking out of asleep. When I let go, of him he fell down. I carried him to the house, he was not ill long.

CROSS Ex. -I do not know-how he was on the boat. Before going ou the Seymour he worked on Mr. Malierson's boat. I took him to Luck - now to go with McPherson to his vessel. I did not tell McPherson that there was anything wrong about him, About three years ago he left home to go to Michigan with some boys, but in- stead of going, went to Mr. Armand's in Col- borne. I did not find out for two weeks after where he went to, and at once went and brought him home. Since he left home he has been -working around vessels. He went to school about 8 years, but never made any progress. The prisoner was ably defended by r F Toms and 11 Macdermott, Esquires.

County of Huron We:: the Grand Jury of To Wit the County of Huron beg to present that wehave..visited the gaol and found everything in the most excellent order. The pri- soners now in gaol expressed themselves - well pleased with their treatment by Mr. Campaigne the gaoler. We are also gratified to learn that the resident ministers of the town (under the Young Mens' Christian Association) have agreed regularly in turn to visit the prisoners in gaol -every Monday afternoon. We are pleased to congratulate Your Lordship on the lightness of the Calender although we all very much deplore the aggravated nature of one of the cases to come under your jurisdiction. •We hope the ends of justice will be fully carried out, and we do hope and trust that a similar case will never again oc- cur in this Province. H. HOWELL • Foreman. Grand Jury Room. Goderich, 29th Sept., 1870. The manner in which the poor Germans who were driven out of Franoe were treated; is a dis- rrace to the civilization of the age, Eight hun- ed of them arrived at Carlstaihe on the 6th, hy way of Switzerland.. The were working men and their families who were compelled to leave everything `behind. On theirway through -France they were, shamefnlly Maltreated and abused. Men, women and children were deprived of fond and sleep, transported in open cattle cars, insult- ed and drenched with water by the mobs Miro' which they passed, and arrived in Germany half dead with terror'fatigue and hunger.
