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. barber testrfied that, at the tiene young Wells must have been killed, Dallas was in his shop being shaved. in Canada. has inereased in the ten years from 1881 to 1891 by 114 per cent., or from $165,3oo,000 to $353,839,000; that the number of establishments had increased • 51.8 per cent. the number of em- ployes 44.48 per cent., the wages • paid 67.86 per cent., the cost of the raw material 42.3 per cent and the value or raw products 53.5 per • cent. • These are the fruits of the • National Policy whioh Mr. Laurier • declares to be "a bane and. a curse to Canada." x x x Free trade in potatoes would be much relished by the producers of Michigan, New York and New England just now. Their surplus crop is so great that it can find no sale in the "markets of sixty millions," and free entrance to the Canadian market,at even 15o a bus- hel, Would be esteemed a boonS,It is the same tale all along the line in regard to potatoes- the supply exceeds the demand to such an extent as to paralyze prices in the United States, and cause growers to seek a market elsewhere almost at any price.
