a young medical practitioner of Tam-
worth, In the County of Lennox, was
I ibeiaag tried for the Murder of Miss
I Blanche Yorke, in Tamworth, oh July
8th last. The affair created quite a
sensation at the time. The particulars
will still be in the minds of your read-
ers, ,se that I need not repeat them
an full. The young doctor, who had
only !been in peactise a short time was
accused of having performed an illegal
operation on the young woman from
the 'effects of which he *died and af-
terwards of having mutilated the body
and (burying it in the cellar - Of his
residence, where it was found some
time afterwards by the autheiritiee
while searhhing the house. The doctor
afterwardsleft for parts unknown and
succeeded in baffling the authorities
as to his whereabouts. Late last fall,
how:ever, he returned and gave himself
UD to the authorities and has Since
been confined in the :Gaol at Napanee,
awaiting his trial. The evidence pa the
trial was aern strong against him and
there (seemed tot beelittle doubt in the '
public 'mind as to bis guilt. When the
evidence for , the prosecution was all in
the Defence surprised the Court by cal-
ling the accused as- the first witness.
Dr. Rabinson in his evid.ence made a
clear confession of the whole proceed.;
irigeFie admitted the ,perforrning of the
operation, the death of the woman in'
his house following, and Ms subsequent
mutilating of the body and his attempts
t� 'hi de it. But .he stated • that the
young Woman when she appplied to
him for medical assistance, Was in a
dangerous condition, that the operation
was necessary to. save 'her life and
that his subsequent conduct waa. the
resulteof a, state of mind over which
he thed no co.ntrol ,nnd, caused by fear
and horror of the position in which he
found himself. His evidence as to the
treatment of the 'patient was approved
of by several well-known medical prac-
titioners who were called to give evi-
dence for the Defence ,'and who at the
same time admitted _ that the circum-
stances attending this case were such
as were likely to produce in a young
and inexparienced practitioner the con-
dition of Mind described by the prison-
er in his eVidence. This, at any rate
/
was the atirniag point in .the case artd
' chaeged what at first seemed to be a
straight case of guilt Man a justifiable
proceeding, especially in the opinion
of the Jury and the audience in the
Court Room who had heard. the trIal.
The Jury returned a verdict 'of 'ai.ot
guilty aid their verdict was 'received
by very unusual manifestations of ap-
•proval by a crowded court room. The
men cheered and threw up thear hats
while the women joined In the demon-
stration by waving of "bandkerchiefs.
The Court authorities were unable to
suppress the demon.stration for some
time. The stern rebuke of the Judge
did not seem to have much effect on
the crowd for no sooner was he liber-
ated than the crowd .swarmed around
him and in increased cheering expres-
sed_ their apprbval of the verdict of the
Jury and the liberation of the prisoner.

(Another important deputation aiso
waited upon the Government during
the past week. This was a deputation,
from the Female Suffrage Association
asking the Govermment to inact legisla-
tionlwhich will permit married womea
wha» are otherwise ghalified to vote at
Municipal elections on the same terms
as widows and spinsters now do. In
thie !as on former ocoasions Mr. Hearst,
the new Premier, howed good diplom-
acy, 'Whereas the late Premier Sir
James Whitney, was. wont ;to tell these
deputations that there was nothing do -
doing, and to tell them in words few
and forcible, Premier Hearst received
his Visitors with the utmost kindness.
Everything was theirs for the asking,
except what they had come to ask. It
was perfectly plain that Premier Hearst,
was refusing the request of the women, !
but hthere was so much ,suFgar on the (
pill and such kindness withal, such
evident anxiety that the feelings of the.
callers should not, suffer, that the de-
putation was almost satisfied. To the
very strong and cogent argumeats put
forth by the ladies, Mr. Hearst quietly
replied that the Government is greatly
conherned as to what the great body
of women in this province want, but
the !Government has yet Ito be satisfied
that the majority of Ontario women
wanted the franchise extended. afore -
over, ,it had not been proven Plat the
possession of the franchise would in-
crease the influence of women for good.
These things, Kr. Hearst 'explained,
wohad have to be consideted,. and in
the imeEmtime, this being a war session,
there would be nothing doing.
It will be seen that although Pre -
nape Hearst was politeness itself and
consideration personified, there wee
very little in his teply upon which the
wonien would. be justified in building
hopes for the future. Boiled down.
it means that the Ontario Government
iss as far • from egiving '.the francbise to
women ,now as it was before the re-
, organization, and that Premier Hearst
is quite as determined can the subject
as 'Premier 'Whitney was. In fact, the
neiv Premier has gone a little farther ;
he refuses to be influenced by the re-
sults of referendums in which the men
have voted in favOr of votes for the
wcimen. Although the women of the
deputation were almost hipnotized for
the time being, by Mr. Hearst's suavity
and geniality, when they had time to
think they came to themselves a,nd in
an open letter addressed to Mr. 13.earst,
they make a vigorous kick. In this let-
ter, among other things they say:
"Tour reception of the deputation from
the Canadian Suffrage Association, was
cohrteous and -kind, but your reply was
neather pointed nor satisfactory."

was a wise thought on the part
of. Sir Oliver Mowatt, when some year;
ago he devised a scheme to make the
estates af the very rich dead contribute
to the revenues of the Province
through the Succession Duties Act. Of
course it has bren enlargedand ex-
tended since then, but from first
to last it has brought a lot of good
maney into the Ontario Treasury. Last
year the income from these duties a-
mounted to $1,196,818, and the year
before the figures were $1,062,694. By
far the greater part of the succession
datt revenue is collected from the
County of York, in which is situated
the City of Toronto, the financial cen-
tre of Ontario.. Thus, while rather more
tha,n a million was collected from the
province as a whole, York County paid
hito the Government $709,337 Of that
athount,
Outside counties, however, yield lib-
erally from time to time. Last year,
fOr instance, the County of Renfrew
Previdedt -$94,368 :in the -case of one
estate, that of Hugh F. McLachlan, a
weal:thy lumberman. Other large pay-
ments, front outside of York County
included those for the estate of George
T; trucketak the well known tobacco
manufacturer. This estate was taxed
$50,000 in 1913 and $27,736 in 1914, or
$37,736 in all. Another large 'outside
estate to contribute to the succession
daties was that of John Patterson, the
financial organizer, long a resident of
Hamilton, which paid $23,282.
Last year the estate of some promi-
eent pubite men helped to *well the
revenue. That of Han. (William Pater-
scin, Minister of Customs during the
entire term of the Liberals at Ottawa,
paid $3,577—while_ that of an old op-
ponent, Hon. J. G. He,ggart, Minister of
Railways in the Conservative Govern-
ment which went `Out of office in 1896,
paid $3,586. In the same year the es-
tate of Ran. Archibald Campbell, one
of the Liberal Senators, paid $5,000.
Prominent among the Toronto con-
tributions to the public revenue was
that made by the estate of the late Mr.
Samuel Nordheimer. No less than $80,-
000 was paid by :the Nordheimer estate
diving 1943 and 1914. Mie next large
payment Was that of • Mr. Thornas

form of taxation. Mr. S. Fb McKinnon's
estate was taxed $42,684 in 1913, and
it paid $9,476 more 1,171 '1914, $52.160 al-
together. The estate of Ile,nry ffeatty,
of the Canadian Pacific steamship ser-
vice, and a large holder cif C. Pi R.
stock, paid. $43,307 in succession duties.
Another heavy contributor was the es-
tate Of the late Frederick Wyld, one of
Torontohs leading wholesale merchants.
This estate 1 paid $37,107. The estate of
Robes t A. Smith, the well known brok-
er, who was killed Or an autmobile ac-
cident, paid $34,694. Possibly the lar-
gest of the Toronto contributions to the
succession' duties was that of the este.te
VF. R. Johnston, df the wholesale
dry goods business, which- paid $111,-
368. But the Toronto collections are not
invariably from Torctrito people. It of -
tea happens that wealthy men in other
provinces have interests in -Toronto
which, have to be transferred when
their estates are dealt with by their
executors. Th-ue Sir Edward. Clouston,
of Montreal, had inveatrnents in Toron-
to, the handling of which necessiated
the payment of $15,000 in' succession
duties, and Mr. 'Robert Reford, of the
Reford Line,- had. shinier possessions,
which required his estate to pay a tax
of $30,000.
