DEAR Sm,--Permit one who shared in the profound sorrow occasioned by Mr. S'rathy s death, and the general feeling of abhorrence towards his slayer, to express through THE ADVANCE, some impressions of the Brennan trial. - u` LETTERS ADDRESSED TO THE EDITOR THIS WEEK. The Admission of Correspondence does Not Necessarly Imply that we Hold _ the Opinion of the Writer. The following letters addressed to the editor of THE N ORTHER.N_ ADVANCE have been received for uublication : I knew Brennan some years ago, and rmly believe he was at that tune, a man incapable of the act that. has brought him within the shadow of the gallows. nu . n .1- lgu` I J_ JAM ES VAIR, The absence of anything like ade quate provocation, even in his disorder- ed fancy, suggests mental derangement: and this view was freely established by the evidence at the trial, and Mr. Lount s able defence. "'* mistakable ; the brooding over one idea utterly foundationless, constant appre- hension and suspicion, alternate viol. ence and melancholy, his vague and inconsequent explanation on the market The symptoms of insanity were un l and in the Sheriff s oice, are all familiar marks of a mind diseased. But under the law as expounded by His Lordship to the Jury, a lunat:c must be convicted if he has suicient glimmering of reason to be aware that I he has done something, for which he may be punished---for after all, that is the only certain test and standard of right and wrong. Sane minds rarelv realize they have done wrong, and to say that a monomaniac is fully con scious of right and wrong, regarding the act he is impelled to, is an anomaly leading `direct to a logical absurdity. urftinenrule so clearlyrexplained by; the` court was laid down many years before it was known what insanity meant. _ I think that in this age-of scientic enlightenment, responsibility should rest entirely on the question. whether there exists any physical disease of the brain, no matter how incipient, and according to this view, Dr. Bucke s testimony, as the only expert examined, should have been taken as conclusive on this point. He stated that the prisoner was a case of paranoia in an advanced stage of the disease, and further, that the tendency of this form of paranoia was homicidal. and that there was a morbid tendency and a loss of self control." On what grounds was this evidence disregarded? Was it solely because Brennan acted sanel y in other matters, and because he gave himself up to the constable, saying he had committed a. terrible deed 'l" , , `I L- uuu Vuulluovvvvn nu vunu-way `us... He certainly knew it would be so regarded by others, and that he was amenable to the law. He expressed genuine regret to Sheri` Drury in the jail, but notwithstanding this, and his" letter to his daughter that Mr. Strathy l was a true friend, there yet abides in his confused iudgment. a vague convic tion that he was in some way iustied: His remarks to the court were signifi cant of this. Brennan was naturally shrewd. not with the shrewdness that would lehd him to prosperity, or` keep hiinout of trouble, but what may be. described as `Irish quick wit,. and if sound in _mind~w6nld not have express- ed himself to the `Judge ashe did. f Re i T had a warm heart and! believe as strong` 1 - feeling ' of attachments and -- inwards" Mr-it StrIth.r;iond~ he `ogunet-To 1i6ir.e`6tiqIst*?int`ei`h`in`Jain -hrthinsi %mmorr l ~i1:;.:n; $38!-{BU III VIVIIDI-ll II I-lvnnlvoa K `It was not claimed by the prosecution [hst he went to the house with murder- \IIa -;finte_nt,;._a.nd in fact there was A `of ymill " oirou_mItances1 i ghowing Our CARPET DEPARTMENT - We intend retiring`, and will oer Carpets a.t.Quick Selling Prices.

His preparation to proceed to Mr. Peple_r s office, and to Penetanguishene, all indicate that murder wasluot in his mind, and that she deplorable act was the, result of sudden excitement produced on a diseased brain.,by the altercation, and expulsion from the house. It is a well known phase of insrnity, the impulse to destroy those for whom regard and affection previously existed and actually does exist, as in the case of the unfor- tunate_Harvey, once also a resident of Barrie. This man was convicted of murder and executed, because he sent for his family, one after the other, and calmly shot each as she came to him. Is capital punishment an ideal retribu- tion of justice, or is it to deter others? Think . of retribution of justice in Harvey's case. There was no question about him being mentally diseased, because it had so far developed as to show marked physical symptoms, such as torpor and low temperature, and yet he was choked to death. What for? To deter men from shooting_ their beloved ones to shield them from p0s~ sible poverty? I greatly doubt that it would even have this salutary effect I venture to predect that if the execu- tive spares Brennan, he will be in an , Insane asylum before two years. Then A let those who loved Mr. Strathy for his ' kindly nature, and who most regret his ' untimely taking off, let them not feel that they wrong his memory in peti- , tioning for a commutation of the wretched Brennan's sentence. Let them rather .remember that their trieud was always magniinimous himself, and that if his voice could be heard, it '. would be on the side ot mercy for the .|poor half crazed being whose tortured ` mind drove him to a senseless act.

On Tuesday afternoon of last week the Barrie Collegiate Institute and town teams played their second match this spring, in the Agricultural Park. A large number of spectators, among whom were many ladies, was present to cheer their respective champions. The game throughout was devoid of rough-. : ness, in marked contrast to the match between the same teams the previous I week. The town team were all star ` plavers, who have seen their names in A print, time and again, .for_ their excel- lent individual play, and besides were assisted by Mr. T. Moore, the . unsur- passed `_`back from _Midhurst. The B. C. I. team were all students of the Collegiate Institute, and - played a._ ne , combination game. Just before. time was called the B.'C.
