Her_\"s manner was frank, and by his willingness to answer all questions put to him he doubtless made 8. favorable impression with the jury. Henry t oru1erl_\' lived at Elmvale. Questioned by his coun- sel, he told that over $1500 had been spent in re-decorating the hotel, which was polluted with bed bu:.rs. Business had been good throughout the summer, but at the time of the fire the number of boarders had dwindled down to none. .\lore business was expected because of the ship which would be built. His wife was in Toronto when the fire occurred. Witness ex- plained that she was attending his mother, who was ill. At present his wife was ill and unable to ap- pear in Court. A doctor's certi- cate was produced to corroborate this. Witness explained that all wood for the stoves was kept in the cellar. -- u l\t`I L 24 Mulcaster Street BARRIE - ONTARIO ncucu .
