Thomas Shortell told tending the meeting at Joyceville on br about August It was a meeting of the united farmers, and was presided over the accused, Mr. McFarlane, who is the président. To Mr. Rigney, he recalled Mr McFarlane giving a business talk to the farmers - . Questioped about the remarks credited/ to McFarlane, about re cruiting being .a farce, witness said that to the best of his knowledge McFarlane made no such statement He did. not remember anything to this effect have raid somef? tion, but witness did not hear him Witness did not ar him make any [statement about ninety out of ever | hundred soldiers going overseas ghtseers. i To Mr. Whiting, witness recalled {what he termed a "racket" between {a man in the audience named Mun {dell and: Mr. McFarlane, but could throw no light whatever on what thé "racket" was about. James Hawmey, ~Thomas Baker, {William Wilson, Michael Shortell {and Patrick Keyes wers also wit- |nesses. Michael Shortell and Pat- {rick Keyes were not present when {McFarlane was speaking, and the {others swore they did not hear him {make the statement it was alleged he had made. Magistrate Farrell, Mr. Rigney and. Mr. Whiting tried hard to get the story of what did occur at the meeting. One witness spoke of what he called a "chewing match" between Mundell d McFarlane, but 'he cold not saPwhat it was all about. Mr. Rigney recalled Mr. McFar- {lane to the witness stand, and a Printed circular was produced, showing. the meeting at Joyceville Idd" been called by the Joyceville branch of the United Farmers of Ontario. Witness told presiding al the meeting, at which he said he should be pleased to Becure the names of any of the farmers who had not yet joined he association, and at this Mr. Mundell interrupted, saying that he understood the asso- ciation was formed to break down the Government. Withess remlied, stating that he had no knowledge of the assoeiation being formed for any such purpose '48 this. The hall was very aqark, there being but one light, and He could not see who was making ah the remarks, but there was a dis- turbance. He heard some one say that associations of this kind were trying to stop recruiting. Witness said he had never tried to Stop re- eruiting, and he heard sdmeome in the hall cry, "You are a lar." Af 'fils witness asked Mr. Mundell to tome up to the platform, and he did 50. "Mr. Mupdell then spoke of Jbaving a brother in the war. Wit- ness said he resented tne statement that he was trying to prevent re cruiting.. He said the association had 128 members, and that no ef- fort had been made to pfevent re- cruiting. Witness declared most emphati- cally 'that he had never made the li statements about recruiting and the soldiers going overseas as credited to him. 8 J 1st. by as he Conflict of Evidence. | Mr. Rigney said there had been a conflict of evidence. One could tell. by reading betweed the lines that ill-feeling had existed : between certain parties hefors the meeting. il: There was the question of the ac- turacy of some of the evidence.
