IIWAnatil Bros'. Trial.
At the Toronto Assizea now being
held in Toronto there are several murd-
er'cases set down for trial, but none of
them possesaes the interest which has
centered around the retrial of the
• Hyame twins, for the murder of Win.
Wells, which is now in progress.
One day in the winber of 1893 the
daily papers contained a paragraph
deeribing the "accideutal" death of
Willie Wells in Hymns Bros.' ware-
house, in Colborne street, Toronto, by
the weight of an elevator becoming de-
tached and falling on his head. The
report said the young rnan had had his
life insured for $10,000 a abort time
before. This incident did not seem to
• excite suspicion in the mind of anyone.
Eyen the menrance company paid the
risk without protest. But atter a lapse
of nearly two years the brother-in-law
of Mrs. Henry Hyams, wife of one of
the Hyams brothers, went to Toronto
from Pickering village, where Willie
Wells, his sister, Mrs. Harry Hyams,
• and her brother-inlaw had been rear-
ed, and iedne,ed the Crown officers of
Ontario to prosecu te the Hyams
brothers for the alleged murder of
young Willie Wells, The liyams
brothers were arrested, and the trial
resulted in the disagreement of the jury
six months ago.
The application for the prosecution
ot the Hymns twins was the result of
an attempt by them to insure the life
of Mrs. Harry Hyaras for $250,000.
Already a policy on her life had been
obtained for $50,000, and the applicat-
ion had been made for the larger sum.
When it was refused, the twins were
arreseed on the charge of murdering
Willie Wells, and the compeny that
had accepted the $50,000 risk took a
civil action to have the policy cancelled.
The trial was the most sensational of
the kind ever held in Toronto. The
diminutive' twins, as they are cal'ed,
being small of stature. delicate, and in-
significant in appearance, were liberally
supplied with funds for. their defense
by their old, uncle, Mr. Hyams, the
Soubhern millionaire, a bachelor, who
died in New York city a few months
ago. Much public feeling against the
twins was aroused by the case which
the crown worked up against them, but
it was tempered by one or two incid-
ents which created a good. deal of
sympathy for the little Men on trial
for their lives. In the firsb place the
crown counsel sought to get in evidence
of the attempt to place a large amount
of insurance on Mrs. Harry Hyams'
life with more vigor thaa was consistent
with their simple duty. The judge
held that such evidence was foreign to
the charge of murdering Willie Wells,
and it was ruled out. An attempt
will likely be made to introduce it at
the preaent trial. Another incident
that told in favor of the prisoners was
the- evidence- against them of Mrs,
Harry layams. Whatever her feelings
might have been towards her husband
On account of the suspicious death of
her brother,it was argued that she had,
after hisnleath,lived with her husband,
and that her testimony againt him was,
to say the least, unnatural on the part
of a wife. Since Mrs. Hyams gave her
evidence her health has been complete-
ly shattered, and she is now a physical
wreck, suffering from nervots prcstrat•
ion in a private hospital in Toronto.
The case last spring seemed ;to turn
on the medical and expert evidence.
Doctors for the defense held it to be
quite possib'e for the 250 -pound iron
weight of the elevator to strike young
Wells 11 he had been looking up the
elevator shaft to find out what was
interfering with the free action of the
weighnb and that it might have struck
him ern the head, inflicting a fracture,
knocking him down, and then, after
striking the ground, rebounded, falling
on hia head, where it was alleged to
have been found by Harry Hyams.
Other doctors contended that if such
a weight fell on him it would haye
dealt him a crushing blow, shattering
his skull. The main weight of the
crown's case was that the skull, as pro
duced in court, bore evidence thet the
young man had been struck down with
some blunt instrument in the cellar of
the warehouse, and thae the elevator
weight had afterwards been allowed to
drop on his skull, crushing it. This
view of the case was strongtheaed by
the crown's contention that the young
man's life had been insured with a view
of having him meet a violent death,
and they sought to show that the Col-
borne street warehouse had been rent
ed and prepared specially for the pur-
pose of killing Welts. It was shown
that the Eryams employed as a type=
writer, a young girl, whose duties et
was to address circulars to be used in a
mercantile agency businesre and the
crown contends that thie business, as
well as bhe storage business which it
was supposed the twins were about to
engage in, was a fake to cover up their
plans to take Willie Wells' life. It
was also shown that on the evening
before he met his death he heel been
told by the twins to come down to the
warehouse eerliew than usual the next
morning. and that to the typewriter
had been given some letters to deliver,
so that when Harry Hyams' brother-in-
law was killed she was in a part of the
city (lathe distant from the Warehouse.
For the defense an attempt' was made
to prove an alibi for Dalles flyarns. .A.

Free trade in potatoes would be
