Tho earpentera, joiner's, painteo,

was said that the master carpenters

increase in wages, but would not
agree to ttU the demands, In the ease
of the plambere and stearafietera,
painters and decoratons, and electri-

about his face revealed the ordeal of

torney, and the representativels of the

ed neon this evkienee that you are

eine notice from Mr Justice Chita and
les Lordship also expressed pleaenee
that Mr. Peter White, K. C., and Mr. W.
F. Kerr'Crown Attorney, had, on the
pot Of the Crown, exercised great care
izt the searing of witnesses and in the
presentment of facts.
MR. PORTER'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Porter addressed the jury for an
hour and twenty-five minutes, and. he
nuule an eloquent. plea for aequittal. The
prisoner regarded the jury steadily and
confiaentily. In part, Mr. Porter said:
"I am suro. you will appreciate the feet
tbat one undertaking to defend it per -
non accused of an offence such as the
prisoner at the bar Is accused: of under-
takes the most serious responsibilities.
I hope I have discharged arty duty fairly.
The prisoner at the bar has lived his
whole lifetime as your neighbor. He is
known far and wide. This man up to
the present charge was entirely tree of
suspicion of wrong -dieing of any kind.
Not even the bienth of suspielon has
been breathed against him prior to this
time. The good life it mart leaels ought
to be considered. well and weighed fully
before the eonchtsion melt an yott„ are
asked to reach is made, that he has sunk
from the hign position that he has oc-
eupied to be the• lowest and most de-
graded of mankhul.. I ask you to keep
that feet fully before four minds and
ask yourselves, from the record of tho
prisoner, is it htunan possibility
that a man 'with his record all these
yenta bus lee himself to the oammiseion
of Buell it crime."
• Mr. Porter elaimed ilea the Crown
had fallen down in its attempts to prove
that the prisoner had choked the girl
to death, or to such and extent tla to
enable him to assnult her and 'cause her
death. The Crown had. asked them to
imagine or conjure up some belief that
the prisoner tan be guilty of the atolls.
alio% The Crown was depending en -
tinily on eircunistential evidence. The
facts addueel must be coneistent with
