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.

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

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

I had no intention of shooting. I bad
the revolver on my person from the
Monday evening Fred was at my house
coaxing Lily to go back with him. I
thought that if he Dame to my plane he
might club me at the barn or some place
and [ thought the sight of the revolver
would keep him back, as I had beard.
the sight of a revolver had scared him
before I went to Fred's since the prev-
ious Monday. I was not sure I would
go to my daughter's when I first started
out that morning.
Magistrates Seager and Horton gave
their judgment Saturday afternoon in
the Uox-Beattie shooting case. 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.

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.

"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-

when I had taken one bottle I was completely
cured. I think it the greatest of remedies,
