The Beattie -Cog Shooting Case. Testimony of William Cox Before !Magistrates Seager and Morton Who Discharged Ilan. The following is the sworn statement made by Mr. William Cox at the en, quiry before Magistrates Seagerand Horton. Mr. Cox said; I am a farmer residing in Goderioh township; was born there; am 52 years old. 1 first objected to my daughter Lily's going so much with Fred. Beattie about a month or ate weeks ago; before that I thought it was mere kind- ness on his part. I heard that people were talking about it and I and my wife concluded to stop it and we spoke to Lily. I afterwards learned that abe had again gone with him and 1 remonstrated with her about it. I never spoke to Beattie about it. I never threatened. I did my utmost to prevent Lily's going with him. I never had an angry word with Fred. Beattie in my life before Wednesday last, but on Monday last he was at my place trying to ooaxLily to go with him and I asked him to stay and have a talk with me. He said he would he damned if he would and whipped up his horse. I first knew Lily bad left us on Sunday morning after daylight. I knew nothing of her going till I found in the morning she was gone. She left a note saying where and with whom she had gone, Sunday morning I went to my brother Thomas and told him of my daughter's having gone away and asked him to go with me to bring her back. My brother said I had better stay at home, for there would only be a row, so he went alone. He did not bring Lily back. My wife was taken sick in con- sequence of Lily's leaving and Sunday night she got worse, and Thomas went to bring both girls home. Mrs. Beattie name. Thomas went for Dr. Whitely, and the doctor came out to see my wife. The dootor suspected some trouble as the cause of my wife's illness, and I told him all our trouble about our daughter Lily. He said my wife would not get over her illness unless Lily were brought back. She had fallen into fits of faint- ing. Early Monday morning I sent for Lily again and she then came, but did not bring her olothing with her. I talk- ed to her and she asked forgiveness for what she had dont. Beattie Dame to my place Monday evening to try to get her back. I did not hear Lily tell of the threats against me. I first heard of them on Monday night. Euphemia told inc of them, but I didn't take them ser- iously; I thought he was only blowing. toold Mrs. Beattie to try to 1 went get her to go and make peace at her son's place. I saw old Mrs. Beattie at my place Tuesday morning. She said she bad been at Fred's 'all night. She said a great deal about what Fred bas said while she was there, and finally she said if he was let alone he would quiet down after a while. My wife said we would have to get Lily's clothing. Dr. Whitely told me Beattie had said he would not give the clothes to anyone but Lily. He suggested Gundry's going but I did not want any further public. ity. I did not want Lily to go for fear he would keep her. Wednesday morn- ing I said to my wife that I could not real till I saw how Euphemia was get- ting on. I also went to get the cloth- ing, if 1 could get it agreeably. 1 left home about 9 o'clock. I told my wife I would go to old Mrs. Beattie's and if I found everything was quiet at Fred's I would go and get the clothing. After starting out I concluded I would go di- rect to my daughter's. I drove up and she came out of the back door and I noticed she was crying. I went to her and said. "My dear girl, what is the matter with you?" She said, "Oh pa you don't know what I am suffering. Fred says he is not going away but is going to stay and torture me to death and work the flesh and skin off my bones, and he says he is going tonight to murder you all at your place, and uncle Thomas." "Oh nonsense! I know he would not do that; he was only talking." I wanted to make it as easy for her to bear as possible. She said, "He will, I know he will; he is in an awful temper." I said something like I had said before to try to soothe her. She said if Lily would come back he would be quiet. 1 said that on no consideration could I allow her to come back, and that I had come for her clothes. She stepped forward and put her hand on me and said, "Oh pal I dare not. I cant let you go in; he has for- bidden me to let you or anybody else take her clothes unless she comes af- ter them herself, and he would have to be there when they were taken." She said, "You can't have them unless you see Fred." I asked where he was. She said," In the orchard, picking apples." I started to go and she said," Pa, take care, I wouldn't go." I went over to where he was. I got within a few feet of him and said,;' Good morning " He said, "What are you after?" 1 said, "I.il's clothes." He said, " I just want to see you; by Jesus Christ, I am after your heart's blood this morning." Ile was getting up and coming forward to me when he was saying this. He jumped up and rushed at me, using this language, and struck me on the eye with his fist. The blow staggered me, It was a hard blow and he was running toward me as he struck, but I was backing from him. The eye was very badly swollen. There was not much pain. He struck me aw- fully hard. I said, "Fred, I've a revol- ver; you had better stay back." 1 had not then produced it. I turned to see if I could run, but he was grappling me and sometimes bad bold of me, and I was getting away from him as fast as I could. I then pulled out the revolver. I could not run, as he was getting hold of me, and as t was turning to run he got bold of me, not very firmly, but suf- ficient to stop me from running. I then said. "I have a revolver," and to stand back or I'd shoot him. I took the re- volver out of my pocket. As I was bringing it up he kicked and struokthe hand which held the revolver, and there is the mark of the kick yet on the raids dle finger. Then I presented therevol- ver at him and said," Fred stand back; stand back, or I'll shoot." He said, "Shoot and be damned to you," I was still backing up and he was striking at me. 1 then presented it to him and he said, "By Jesus Christ" or"JesusChrlst. I'm thirsting for it." He was still oom' ing at me, striking at me and catching at me, and just as he said the last he made a great dive at me and naught my right hand or arm —I am not sure which— with one hand, and grabbed at my throat with the other. I could feel hia hand upon my throat. Then the piss tol went off. Just as he caught my hand or arm the pistol went offHe was jut catching me. I never knew I pulled the trigger. I was so excited 1 hardly knew anything. He was grappling at me so I was itt great fear at the time. The threats and looks of the man would frighten me. I expected if he got the upper hand he would Derry out his threats. I thought when I Bald "I'll shoot," that it would snare him off`, and The receipts of grain on the street market here today were not large; prices were about steady for fall wheat, firmer for goose and barley, and higher for buckwheat and rye.

In every point the magistrates found that Cox was not to blame in any degree ; that he was fully justified in every step he took ; that the shooting was purely in self-defence and perfectly justifiable. The prisoner was accordinglydischarg- ed. There was a very large crowd in court and great cheering when the judgment was given. Uox was con- gratulated warmly on his discharge. A Seaforth Girl .

A young woman well known to the police, who has of late masqueraded under the name of Edna Leslie, entered the restaurant of Mrs. Ford, 151 King street west, Toronto,late last Thursday night and asked for some supper. She was well known in the place, and as she gave her order she entered into conversation with the waiter. "Do you ever feel as if you wanted to die ?" she asked Mrs. Ford, "Why, no, girl," replied the pro - z "FOR WORMS and other bowel com- plaints to which chil- dren are liable there is no medicine equal to AYER'S PILLS" MRS. A, CASEY, Pigott, Ark. Toronto Live Stock Market. Toronto, Nev. 4.—Liberal receipts of cattle and hogs were dumped in a sick and weak market here to -day. and caused more decline in values for cer- tain grades of cattle. A cut frons 15c to 20c was demanded, and trade was very dull and slow at that. Values for bogs ranged about the same and trade labored heavily under big re- ceipts. Fat sheep and best larnbs sold at firm prices, but the inferior to fair grades of Iambs went slowly. Dealers complain of losing money through the weakness of the export trade, which has been in a depressed condition dur- the last couple of markets. There were 63 loads of stuff in the two mark- ets. including about 760 sheep and lambs and 2,000 hogs. A good deal of stuff was left unsold. Export Cattle—Cables showed no im- provement and shippers were not anx- ious to operate. Choice were quoted 'at 4c lb or $3 75 to $4 per cwt. The quality was extra good, but the cattle were not heavy enough to demand higher prices. Butchers' Cattle—There was a fair demand and the offerings light. Last market's prices were fully maintained for choice, which brought $4 per cwt. Nothing but a few common cattle were left unsold, and the prices for them were a little weaker. Bulls—There were not many heavy bulls on the market. They were quot- ed at $3 25 to $3 75 per cwt. Light hulls were steady at $2 to $2 25 and $2 50 for selections. Stockers and Feeders—The demand was not very brisk. Only a few good to choice were in the market and they were a little weaker at $275 to $325 per cwt. Feeders were in good de- mand with an easier feeling. The off- erings were light. Choice brought $3 25 to $3 50 per cwt and $3 75 for ex- tra choice heavy. Sheep and Lambs—Values under- went little change. Only moderate re- ceipts came to hand and there was a fairly ready sale for 'all good fat sheep and best larnbs at firm prices. The medium and commdn sheep required much peddling to find an outlet, and values for such were about the same as last Tuesday. Sheep for export and butchers' use sold readily at $3 to $3 10 per cwt. Spring lambs were in fair demand at $4 to $4 10 per cwt. Bucks were quiet at $2 50 to $275 per cwt. •Valves—Good veals seetn to sell very well. A large quantity of those offer- ing were very light. Prices ranged from $3 to $6 and $7 for extra heavy veals weighing over 160 lbs. Milch Cows—Good milchers were in good demand and higher prices were paid for good to choice. The offerings were light and good milchers sold readily at from $30 to $45 each. Hogs—Last Tuesday's prices held steady. The offerings were a little heavy, but were equal to the demand, and everything was sold early in the day. Mr. Harris' new brick barn, which has been in course of erection during the= last couple of weoks, is just about completed. It will hold 160 cattle and about 2,000 sheep or hogs, the latter being kept in the loft over the cattle. Mr. Harris has also. 500 bulls and feeders at the cattle by. res.

"Well, I feel that way now," said the young woman. As it was seen that the girl was in a moody frame of mind nothing more was said to her, and she was lett alone in the dining -room until she suddenly scream- ed to Mrs. Ford. "I've taken oarbolio acid, help me to lie down," she cried. Mrs. Ford laid the girl hastily on a couch made of chairs placed together, and her son went to the door and called Policeman Childs, who was passing. Drs.Uarratt of Bay street and Graham of the Emergency Hospital were sums monad, but they could do nothing. The girl was dead. A vial with a little carbolic acid in it lay beside her. No one claimed the remains, and Edna Leslie had evidently no home, for in the crowd of her associates which gathered there was no one who offered to see that she had a proper burial. So her be- draggled body was carted away in the police patrol waggon to the morgue, where it lay on a slab, awaiting the sur- geons, who made the post-mortem ex- amination. Years ago when Edna Leslie first be- came known to the police along York' and King streets, she was a pretty, blonde girl, not out of her 'teens. Her name was Maggie Kennedy then, and when she was arrested one night on a charge of vagrancy she told the ser- geant who locked her up of her respect- able parents near Seaforth. Since that time her mother has visited her in the city, and tried and failed to lead her away from the life she was living. The girl sank lower and lower, becoming a familiar figure in the police court and in the drinking dives about York street When safety bicycles were introduced she was among the first to use them, and she delighted in the Dame of "Bicy- cle Mag," which the police gave her. Her wild life brought on consumption at last, and she was admitted to the general hospital twice bii'orders issued by Drs. Garratt and Shear respectively - Three weeks ago she was discharged from St. Michael's hospital, and since then she seems to have had no settled place of abode. Some time ago while living in a resort on front street she at- tempted suicide, using carbolic acid,but a doctor saved ber life. Edna Leslie, or Maggie Kennedy, was twenty-three years old, and she was so weakened by disease that at her death she weighed but little over ninety pounds. Coroner Greig opened an inquest at the morgue Friday evening on the body. The local police telegraphed Wednes- day to the deceased's relatives at Sea - forth, to find out what disposition should be made of the body. The ans- wer Dame back that they would have nothing whatever to do with the re, mains. Staff Inspector Archibald knew de- ceased quite well. She had applied to him for aid on several occasions when she had been destitute and 111. He read a letter from Mrs. W. Kennedy, the girl's mother, which was received in answer to a letter from Chief Gras- ett in August asking if the girl would be received if she were sent home. Mag- gie was very ill at the time. The mother a letter was received with mur- murs of indignation and surprise by the jury. It read as follows :— "Seaforth, Ont., Aug. 16. "Dear Maggie,—I don't want you at home. When you were here you did not know how to appreciate your ad, vantages and I told you so many times. You abused me in return ; therefore you may stay where you are. I really don't want you here. So good-bye forever. MRS. W. KENNEDY." "The girl told me," said Mr. Archi- bald, "that she was sure her mother had been influenced to write the letter by her (Maggie's) brother. Maggie would not believe that Mrs. Kennedy would treat her as she did." The verdict of the jury was as fol. lows :—"We find that Margaret Ken. nedy Dame to her death on Wednesday last in Mre. Ford's restaurant, 151 King street west, by awailowing a half ounce of carbolic acid, while in a fit of de- spondency. "We highly commend the action of the morality department, the Prison- ers' Aid society, the House of Provi- dence, and many ladies for their care of Margaret Kennedy during her many illnesses."
