We are assured by Protestants of all pershasions that at. the very meeting called for the purpose of organizing such a body by legitimate and strictly honorable means, resolutions ,condemnatory of the aims and'objects of the P.

The Williams Murder; At Brampton, on Saturday, William Walter MacWherrcll was found guilty of the murder of James Williams, of the Middle-road, Toronto township, on sentenced to be hanged on the let of June. John Edward Walker, who was tried at the same time, was acquitted, but is now held for the murder of Eliza Friday. March 23rd, 1894. iwas butchered with her husband. The trial lasted five days and it was thought by many that the jury would be out for a long time and might possibly disagree, but they returned into court with a ver dict after an absence of but little more lthan an bowl and the fact that Judge Ferguson’s charge was against the accused, it is re- marked that considerably longer time than usual is to elapse between convic- tion and execution, which is taken as an indication that the judge considered it within the bounds of possibility that fresh evidence concerning the murder might yet turn up. There is an old saying that “ it is never safe to hang a Settled at Last. We are glad to be able to announce that the question “ Are the Howrys coming to Fenelon Falls ?” can at last he answered in the affirmative. Mr. John Thomson, who has been here and away again halfa dozen times during ,the past few weeks, returned- on Wed- nesday evening with, the welcome news that the American firm had‘ rented. the red mill and its appurtenances from the Smith executors for a term of eight years, with the option of purchase at the expiration of that period, and that the work of emptying the mill prepara- tory to filling it with new machinery of the latest and most approved pattern will be commenced before many days. As we, could only get a few minutes’ interview with Mr. Thomson, who is as “ busy as a bee,” we have not yet ob- tained any particulars, which, however, are of secondary importance, but we shall probably be able to give some ad- ditional information in next week’s issue. During the long time that has elapsed since the probability of the Howrys rent~ ing or purchasing the Smith property was first mooted hopes and fears have alternately been in the ascendant; but no further disquieting rumors can arise as the question is at last happily settled, and the benefit accruing from the pres- ence of the new firm in the village will soon begin to be felt. REMEMBER THE PLACE : NEXT DOOR TO KNOX’S BLACKSMITH SHOP, I Francis-St. East, Eenelon Falls. it must be remembered that unless a :murderer be taken in the actual com- mission of' the crimeâ€"which is very rarely the caseâ€"he can only he convict- ed on circumstantial evidence, which in cases like that of Burtchell and many others is as convicting as ocular dem- onstration. But strong as the evidence was, as a whole, against MacWherrell, some of the links in the chain were un- deniably weak, and there were discrep- ancies in the testimony of different wit- N .l.

It is certain that many men (some of whom were afterwards prored guilty) have been hanged on evidence weaker than that against Macthrrell, and it is possible that there was a lingering doubt in the mind of the learned judge even though i there was none in the minds of the jury. However this may be, it was stated in Monday’s papers that just before the conclusion of the trial Mr. Robinette, council for Macthrrell, received from Dr. Lynd of Parkdalc a letter stating that a resident of Toronto named John Brett was positive that MacWherrell was at Scholcs’s hotel at 8 o’clock on the night of the murder, and that he Was in the company of two men answering the description ofthe men from whom he said he bought the murdered man’s horse and cutter. Mr. Robinette received the above information so late that he did not ask for a stay of proceedings, but he will apply for a new trial; and if it be granted and the new witness Brett will swear to what he asserted first to Dr. Lynd and then to an Empire report< er, the doubt of some as to MaOWher- rell’s guilt will be very much strengthâ€" ened and his acquittal will be almost certain unless there be good reasons for disbelieving the witness's oath.

A. has excited so much hostility among fair minded men that the Order is not likely to be very long lived, and, in the interests of peace and good will, its early demise is devoutly to he prayed for. The object of the association appears to be simply to ostracise Catholics, who ‘ have wisely said but little, whatever they may think, knowing that expostu- lations from them would he likely to help rather than injure the bad cause; but all Protestants who are neither fools nor bigots are loud in their condemnation of the movement, behind which there are, of course, certain selfish agitators who are working for place or pelf. It is the only existing association of which its originators and ofiicers are ashamed; for it is as secret as the Paul Prys of the press will permit it to be and denies the correctness of the information respecting it that has leaked out. But an organiz- ation the aim and object of which is to set the members of different Christian churches by the ears, preaches obsolete doctrine, is out of touch with the times and can do but little harm. The P. P. A.’s are said to have formed a lodge or a circle or a gang. or whatever their name for it is, in Bobcaygenn, and, for aught we know, they may be trying to get a footing in Fenclon Falls, where, we hope, there are none so foolish as to stoop to their lure. Nearly all Protest- ant papers either mildly disapprove of or denounce them, and none of them does the latter more tersely or vigorously than the Times, puplished at Windsor Mills, Quebec, which, after commenting . on the efforts lk'lllf.’ made to establish branches of the P. l’.
