James Kearney, of Morris. a cousin of the matinee was at the accused's (albs rb house that day and saw tete accused there. He was not in very good humor. He said he was gang to be on hand when the auto party came back and tell them what he thought of them. He said it anybody else came and took itis wife away he'd "put a hole in them." Witness said, "Don't do anything rash." and prisoner said, "Oh no. I'm not. ' S William McCracken. of Morris, father of the prisoner, said his con was thirty- two years of age and was married about six years ago. After some prompting by the Crown counsel, witness said his son's wife's home was at Arden. Man., and her maiden name was Mary Stewart McGee. The next morning after the marriage she went West again and it was some months before she came back. She and her hus- band stayed at witness' house fur two or three years. and then a house was put up for them on another farm owned by witness. Jim lived at both places. spend- ing most of the time at witness' house. This was because most of the work was there. The child also stayed most of the time at witness' house and the wife would stay alone. The witness heard no com- plaints about his son's not staying at his, own hone with his wife. Witness did not recognize his daughter-in-law's handwriting in a letter produced by counsel. On the Sunday his son told• him that Kearney had come along with his auto and taken his wife for a drive,' although he did not want her to go. He went back to his own home about 5 o'clock -to unlock the door, he said. He returned in the evening crying "I'm shot." 1 Who did it?" he was asked. "Myself." , Witness went to wash the wound and his son then said he was afraid Mamie was shot, too. and his mother should telephone for a doctor. His son said he had the revolver in his pocket and she caught his hand and jerked it out and the revolver went off. He never knew his son to carry a revolver. His son said that if Kearney and Thynne went to do anything to hire he would use the revol- himself. Neither the wit-' ver to protect ness nor his wife went to see the daugh- ter -in-law. nor did they go to the funeral.' His son gave the revolver to the witness, who took out the remainn bullets. ss Witneexplained to M-.

It was a 371 -calibre, self -cocking re- volver. Witness had a long conversation with the prisoner the same day. He gave the prisoner the proper warning that anything he said might be used as evidence against him. but the prisoner said he had no objection to telling what had happened. The prisoner's story to Constable I Gundry was much the same as that re- lated by Dr. McRae. Regarding the ' re- volver, witness said he had intended tell- ing the men in the auto what he thought of them: they were both Nigger and stronger men than he and if they per- sisting in com Ago. Toronto, Ont., Nov. 8. -There have come to us recently these two letters from prominent men who bear unquestionable testimony in regard to Dry, Chase's Oint- ment as a prompt and lasting cure for piles. These men give their evidence freely be- cause they know what it means to suffer from the tortures of piles and then be cured. They feel it a duty and a pleasure to let others know how they too may* be cured. Rev. Frank N. Bowes. Methodist minister, Priceville. Ont.. writes: "In the winter of 1912. i wan stationed in Cobalt.
