bothj3u1lty hendershott and welter ou friday last 12 good men and true unanimoualy decided that v 1 welter and john a heuderauow were guilty of the murder of w h heoderchou and were sentenced by chief juacice meredith to be handed on tuesday june i8th next crown prosecutor osier made a terrible arraignment of the prisoners he pointed out that the man who con templates a crime always does it skilfully to make sure of his gain so always look for an appearance of innocence the eri dence is always circumstantial in a danger ous crime that is a crime of deliberation the dangerous criminal is the schemiup one who never if possible lets his hand be seen circumstantial evidence be said is the only thing that brings the crime home to him when brought home it is a safer class of testimony than that of the direct witness who may ibe mistaken or fore sworn it is said by some never con- vict upon circumstantial evidence if that were acted up on the scheming murderer the designing murderer would always es cape thn he disproved the accident theory he showed that the efforts of the defence to prove that tbe wounds on the head ot the dead man were caused by a falling tree were fntile because of its inability to corroborate its theorv in the minor de tails adverting to the presence of blood mr oaler said that br ellis has proven that the blood resembled that of a human being and that it was not that of a horse yet the only suggestion is that the blood is that of a dead horse the blood was fresh and of the same age where did it como from whose blood was it it tells its own tale pool by pool drop by drop is it tho blood of the dead man rising up as witness whence came the bloody finger murks on the sapling and on tho crotch all of the same age all fresh if the theory of the defence is right baid mr osier there should not be one drop of blood where fit was found but it should be found leading from the spot where the branch struck him tio where be died there is no blood on tho knoll no hloou at the place where it is suggested the branch struck him and swept him in it was not for the crown to say just how tho killing occurred no eye saw it it nny be that the man was hit tarst at the furthest point and ran to tie second where he was again struck and then to the third and finally to the largest pool where he was left until welter went foreward to see where he could best put him under the tree he takes care to a- void blood marks for but little blood is shed and it all comes from the head ho knows that he has got to take care he does so and the telltale blood is only found on his face and on the leaves in the woods mr osier laid great stress on the pros- en e of hendershotts ax hidden away out of sight in the woods so completely thatwhen curious people searched high aud low for 3ome nine days tlwy never came aeross it then it was found con cealed with marks on it which when analyzed bore all the characteristics of human blood that ax was an awful witness the fact that welter was wearing the dead mans watch was a damning piece of evidence the crowns theory was that welter took it from the clothes of his vic tim when he laj on the ground mr osier then showed welter to te very much of a liar as was evidenced by his seven contra dictory stories next he referred to the fact that welye intelligent doctors had sworn that an axe and not a branch caused the wounds on the other side six admit that an axo could he regretted that he did not bring the head of the victim into court and the axe at the same time coining to the insurance branch of the case the motive of the crime mr osier snowed that john hendershott had taken the initiative on allocccasions he accom panied the young man to the doctors and to the insurance agents who persuaded the dead man to take out the insurance the sum 1 1000 was pretty heavy for a man in his position to carry hendershott had told two women unwilling witnesses that he was gohu to insure some one and then get him out of the way to show that a conspiracy existed be tween welter and john hendershott he cited the fact that both told tho story of the deceased running after his watch al though tho men weie eight miles distant in a brilliant peroration mr osier told the jurors to do their duty courageously fear ing neither tho criticism of men nor the tears of women it took nearly two hours for chief just ice meredith to deliver his charge ho summed up the evidence carefully bringing out all the strong points for the defence as well as for tho crown he instructed the jurors to start un with the presumption of the innocence of the prisoners and then to return a verdict according to the evidence the jury went out at 530 and a short while after ten announced that they were prepared to bring in a verdict an expec tant hush fell over tho courtroom as his lordship took his scat on the bench and th jury filed into the room immediately tho clerk arose and asked the formal ques tion gentlemen of the iury have you agreed upon a ycrdit are tho prisoners at the bar guilty or not guilty every ear was strained to catch the ans wer guilty i replied the foreman in a trem ulous voice and then women shrieked and cried and sobbed bitterly the older prisoner let his head drop on his breast and did not ralso it until sentence was imposed upon him cltcr sat as stolid as a rock he never showed the least sign of fear in seutencing the prisoners the chief justice dispensed with the black cap he asked the prisoners if they had anything to say nothing answered both he then sentenced them to death on tuesday juno i8th tho prisoners wore immediately removed to tho jail and tho death watch put on them the jurors were un uiimous on the first ballot after discussing the evidence thoroughly a ballot was taken and every man voted guilty it if thiy siucefly and determinaudy place their will on the total abstinence side of the question for there must be no com- promisethey will soon find the strong chains that bind them fall away leaving them free from the useless filthy lniunous habit i know whereof i affirm for 1 was for years such a slave to the habit that 1 would rather go without dinner thad be de prived of the weed 1 kept the mill grind ing pretty constantly during the day and to show that i had no illfeeling against tobacco i smoked a pipe or two before re tiring for the night i have now no appe tite for tbe narcotic many pale nervous dyspeptic people who expend their money for doctors pills and powders would hud a speedy cure in total abstinence from the narcotic poison of tobacco i know many good men use tobacco but they would be much better men if tbey never used it but i will stop right here in the hope that some sensible smoker may be led to fling his pipe and cigars to the moles and to the bats that some chewer of the weed may wash out his mouth and throw his nasty black plug to the dogs it will not harm the dogs because they wont degrade them selves

arraignment of tobacco in last weeks tribome smote the giant hip and thigh judged by the bible standard he proved that tobacco is an element of evil and evil continually all true christians believo the bible to be the supreme law to which all human laws aro subordinate hence they must accept what ho has cleat ly proved that tobacco is mans enemy physic ally mentally and morally and that christ ians are under obligation to abstain from its use tobacco not only impairs the functions of each and every bodily orean bot also affects every power of the mind it dnlls the intellect deadens the

when about two and a half miles distant she hoisjedtbe spanish flag which was saluted by hoistiug the america ensign and dipping it which act of courtesy was answered by tho spaniard at 715 she fired a blank cartridge to leeward which was soon fol lowed by another the american ensign was again hoisted and dipped but the course and speel of the ship was not chang ed as no hostile demonstration was an ticipated the alliance being more than six miles off the land at the time the span ish manofwar was not satisfied however with even the double salute to her flap but proceeded to chose the american at full speed judging from the smoke that eame from her funnel and seeing that the allian ce was drawing away she yawed to bring her guns to bear and fired a solid shot which struck the water less than an eighth ot a mile away from the ship and directly in line this was followed by two more solid shots x fortunately did not reach their mark though they struck the water in plain sight of the ship at each shot however the spaniard yawed to to get the range of the american ship before firing on her plainly showing the intention to hit her if she could captain grossman of the alliance he was more than two leagues from land on the high seas did not consider it his duty to detain his ship to find out the reason lor such an outrage even for so summary a demand and so ord ered full steam and gradually drew out of range the chase was kept up for more than 25 miles however before it was a- bandoned if the spaniard had had more speed or her gunners been better marksmen no doubt the iucident would not have end ed so fortunately for the american this outrage has been reported to the secretary of state by captain grossman and it is ex pected that a prompt demand will be made on the spanish
