Beauharnois, Oct.28.\u2014As the time draws near when the jury of his peers must pass judgment on Valentine Shortis, & judgment which may call for the dread sentence of death, the interest in the famous case becomes more intense.To-day the trial entered upon its last stage, the addressing of the jury on The evidence which has been put before them at such length and with such patient care by the respective counsel.The news that Mr.J.N.Greenshields, English counsel for Shortis, was to make one of the efforts of his life on behalf of his client was suffilcent to draw à large number to the court, apart from the mere fact that the case had reached that point.These sat patiently through the dry legal arguments which took up the entire morning, and were rewarded by the splendid plea made by Mr.Green- shields in the afternoon.Among the large number of strangers in court were Mrs.J.N.Greenshields, Mrs.H.C.St.Pierre, Mrs.(Dr.) Anglin, W.H.Robinson, manager Eastern Townships Bank, Huntingdon; Moritz Boas, St.Hyacinthe: B.Shepherd.W.Barclay Stephens\u2019 steam yacht \u201cDama\u201d arived here this morning with the following party of friends to be present during the addresses of counsel: Mrs.Stephens, Miss May Glass, Mrs.(Dr.) Corneil (Brockville), Mrs.George Munro, C.G.Glass, Mrs.R.A.E.Greenshields, Mr.and Mrs.W.Dixon, J.F.Mackie, Mr.end Mrs.Grier.During the address the utmost silence prevailed in the court-room, and the scene ecame deeply impressive as dusk began to fall and the room was lit dimly by & few lamps.In striking contrast to this was the ten minutes\u2019 recess taken by the court, during which the buzz of conversation and the chatter of the younger ladies rendered it difficult to believe that a human being was actually on trial for his life.As for the Prisoner himself, although in the morn- Ing he had for the first time shown some slight interest in the trial, he relapsed into his attitude of indifference and unconsciousness while his lawyer was pleading for him.He looked haggard, and his eyes were sunken and marked with black rings.Mr.Shortis Was present, but Mrs.Shortis was too ill to be in court.The whole of the morning and a quarter of an hour after lunch were given up to the discussion of the legal points which had been reserved, in which His Honor and all the counsel took a hand.MR.GREENSHIELD'S ADDRESS.Mr.Greenshields rose to address the Jury at 2.30.He said: \u201cMay it please Your Honor and gentlemen of the jury, \u201cThou shalt not kill\u2019 is a commandment given by our Almighty Father.\u2018Thou shalt not kill\u2019 has been embodied in the penal codes of every civilized nation down to the present day, and for the alleged violation of that command a poor, weak human being is on trial here.This is a direct order from heaven to the Judge, to you, to me, as well as the prisoner at the bar.You are sitting in that Jury box, having taken your oath before Your country and your God to do just- Ice between the Queen and the prisoner at the bar; if that by any prejudice, if that by any passion, if that by any preconceived ideas you render \u2018an unjust verdict, if that the court should by wilful misinterpretation of the law, if that counsel on either side in this trial or any one of us by any wrongful act should contribute to a verdict against the facts We should violate that oath and that command, \u2018Thou shalt not kill.\u2019 Mur- Cor 8 8 ferrible crime.It is a crime ains 0d and man.It is a crime which in Christianized communities the people rise up against.And when the People of this country read after that fateful night that Maxime Leboeut and John Loy had been killed in cold blood In the offices of the Montreal Cotton Company there was a thrill of horror passed through the entire community, ani men said that the perpetrator of this terrible tragedy deserved no mercy, no consideration, no protection from his fellowmen.And when I read the history of this crime on Sunday morning and Baw the details of this murder I sald this man must have been elther insane Or one of the deepest - dyed criminals ever brought before the courts of Justice When we were .Impanelling the jury, when we made the motion for a change of venue, When you gentlemen were brought into that box and sworn as to whether or not you stood impartial, I was not surprised that every man had a preconceived idea 8s to his guilt.If that man has the sonalcies of a sane man, and if his Maker thom into this world with all his gui les complete, no man could be more serve t and no man could possibly de- siderat ° stand before you and ask con- murder pay For Valentine Shortis as a fore yo have no mandate to stand sent him ini 1 thought his Maker had faculties ç nto the world with all his nstant bork I would not stand here one I not believe tro him and the avenger.Did with his 1 his man came into the world not utter aculties Undeveloped I would voice wours Ord In his defence, and my these oad meyer have resounded within feeling which Can well appreciate the was guilty.I nec, {Orth that this man tions before the ve heard it in many direc- you.Now, gentleman te Was put before to you: the position vel Wish to say this an counsel for the Prose ott vous Te fhember on the occasion of the arrest of \u20ac prisoner there almost took enother crime, the terrible crim a te or {egal killing of the prison: r.well our moment of excitement when thai pa sions not car t lengths, for it would \u201chave ec?a ane Brace to this community.Thank God, the people have evidence, that, however Breat the crime, the strong arm ot the or tan protect the people, Well, this oo me having taken place it is left ta the ; 0l and calm judgment of twelve men nl that box.You may believe he wag Bullty of killing, of murder, of homicide, but you all swore that if in the trial evidence was unfolded respecting the omission of mind you would give him that fair and impartial trial which is to be had in a British country, in this Canada of ours, where, unlike the land to the south of us in its western parts, men are taken and executed without trial and without reason sometimes, because public passions and resentments carry them away.\u2018We of the defence feel ' we are asking from you, and will obtain, a fair and impartial verdict, that you will consider the evidence as honest men, give it all the weight it is entitled to, and then if you are of opinion that Valentine Shortis was insane on the night he committed the murder, whatever may be said, you will have the honor and manliness to say so.If on the other hand you think he was not insane you will say so.All we ask is fair play and justice, and we believe we will get that.Now, gentlemen of the jury, you are charged here with a serious and responsible duty.There is no position which a man can occupy so responsible, so great, as that where the law places the life of a fellow being in his hands.You have the right to send Valentine Shortis to meet his Maker end his God.The law has clothed you with that power.It is a righteous law, a law which protects all men in our community, a law which had its beginning in the rights of man as set out in that section of Magna Charta which says that the man who kills has the right to a trial by his peers.You, together with the court, trom whom you will take law, and who will give you the law from his long cxperience, have to try him.\u2018With that well recognized ability and learning which have marked his career he will teii you what\u201d the law is.To that you will apply the facts.You are sole judges of the facts.It is for you and you alone to say whether Valentine Shortis on that terrible night in March was insane or not; whether he went there with malice aforethought to kill and rob, or whether he was insane and unconscious of what he was doing.You are judges of the facts and you have to answer to your consciences and your God as to what your actions may be.It is a terrible responsibility.It is a responsibility which 1 have not to share with you.Mine is to do my duty, to give you what little benefit my experience and knowledge of the facts can give.Beyond that I have no responsibility.None of us on the defence have the power to say whether or not he is guilty.You alone have that power, and when in after years, when the excitement in the community shall have been allayed and you shall think of this, the greatest and most important trial in this court house in which each of you has played so important a part, I trust and believe that in other years and other times you will be able to put your hand on your heart and say, \u2018I acted rightly and honestly, and did no wrong in the verdict I rendered on Valentine Shortis.\u201d We ask nothing else from you.You have listened patiently during this trial; therefore I feel my task lighter than otherwise.Having heard the evidence give it the same serious attention in the jury room as you have up to the present time.\u201cWe don't deny the killing.We don't come before the court and say that this man in the box did not kill Maxime Le- boeuf and John Loy.We say that at the time that this kililng took place THAT MAN WAS INSANE that he knew not what he did.Now, that is a defence whicn the law recognizes.That is a defence which, if proven, is as honest and as right as a plea of not guilty, or the proof that he was not the author of the crime.OL course, I know many say the plea of insanity is often the shield of the scoundrel and the criminal.You know the passions which move men, and it is for you to decide that whole question.What we say to you, and the prisoner through his counsel says, is that on the night of the 1st March, after the first shot was fired, by the loss of consciousness he knew not what he was doing.He was insane, and was suffering from natural imbecility of mind, by which he could not distinguish the nature of the act.Insanity! If there is one class of humanity that deserves the com- sideration of their fellows it is the insane.He comes into this world with a visitation of God upon him, with a mind improperly developed; or having come into the world with a mind properly developed, that mind becomes diseased by some cause or other best known to our Father and Creator.In the olden days, a century back in the history of humanity, the insane and the madmap were treated more as criminals than affiicted of God.The treatment of imbeciles in the past lives as a disgrace to our forefathers.A man one hundred years ago was punished because God has visited on him this affliction, which deprived him of his reason.A man whose reason was, irresponsible, without knowledge, they treated as under a visitation of the devil and a wrong moral nature, and they tried to hold him responsible for it.But with the growth of humanity and the broadening of ideas between man and man the insane and imbecile have bzcome subjects of care and protection, rather than of punishment.This is the manner in which I wish you to approach the case.It you find Valentine Shortis was insane on the night of the tragedy, then you cannot say he committed a crime against his God, and if he could not commit a crime against God by reason of God having afflicted him, much less can he have committed a crime against man; and instead of being a subject of your punishment he should be the object of your pity.For the victims none have more sympathy than I.That widow and these children have my sympathy, the sympathy of every person, and that of the father and mother of the prisoner, which comes out as freely and to as great an extent as that of any one within sound of my voice.But, gentlemen of the jury, if that act was committed by the prisoner inan irresponsible moment, let us not extend the terrible consequences of that act hy adding to the widow and orphans, perhaps, by sending to @an.early grave.the father and the mother of this unfortunate boy.Now, so much for the plea of insanity.\u201cT ask you as honest men to set aside all your feelings, all prejudice, and any possible opinion you have formed, and to decide the question of sanity or insanity on the evidence disclosed to you here, and on that alone.This case, I think, stands unique, In that the books on mental alienation do not show a case so strong, where from early childhood down to the time the first shot was fired there is a story of ancestry and a heritage which shows to my mind it was almost beyond the range of possibility that he could be otherwise than as he was.For your consideration.I propose to discuss and review the evidence on which we rely for a verdict of insanity from you.I will take the case from the time of the boy's birth, and bring it down to the night on the Ist of March last.What do we find In the ancestral history of this boy ?His grandfather died a raving maniac, and a brother of his father\u2019s was for ten years confined in an asylum, and died a maniac there.That stands out boldly before you on the father\u2019s side.On the other side, his grandmother and another ancestor were in the asylum.Four of his father\u2019s sisters dled of consumption, which in such a lineage is Continued on Page Eight.- FRENCH CRISIS \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 RIBOT MINISTRY DEFFATED IN THE CHAMBER OF BEPUTIES.EE PRESIDENT FAURE ACCEPTS THE RESIGNATION OF THE CARINET.SOUTH OF FRANCE RAILROAD SCAN, DALS THE CAUSE, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The Authorities Charged With Being Afraid to Prosceute Those Cone cerned\u2014An Interesting Discussion.Paris, Oct.28.\u2014The Cabinet resigned to-day as a result of a Government defeat in the Chamber of Deputies during the debate on the Southern Railway scandal.The Ministry which has just resigned was formed on January 26 by M.Ribot, after the fall of the Dupuy Ministry, wE was composed of the following mem- TS: M.Ribot\u2014Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.: M.Hanotaux\u2014Minister Affairs, General Seurlinder\u2014Minister of Was.Admiral Besnard\u2014Minister of Marine.M.Trarleux\u2014Minister of Justice.M.Leygues\u2014Minister of Interior.M.Poincare\u2014Minister of Public Instruction and Worship.M.Dupuy\u2014Minister of Public Works.M.Lebon\u2014Minister of Commerce.M.Gadaud\u2014Minister of Agriculture.M.Chautemps\u2014Minister ot Colonies.President Faure has accepted the resignation of the Ministry.In the Chamber ot Deputies to-day M.Rouanet, who has been prominent in exposing those who were connected with the Panama Canal and Southern Railroad syndicates questioned the Government regarding the South of France Railroad scandal, it being alleged that & number of senators, deputies and others have made large profits out of the company by fair or unfair means.He declared that the good repute of Parliament was Involved, and asked for explanations as to the partiality which had been shown towards those involved in the scandals, claiming that the authorities had been afraid to prosecute them because the deputies and senators involved with the late Baron Reinach, of Panama Canal fame, had disposed of 8,850,000 frances in devious ways, and on behalf of the southern railways he demanded that the Minister of Justice, M.Trarieux, publish the documents in the case which Were in his possession, and which would throw light on the subject.M.Binder, à member of the Right, then charged the Minister of Justice with culpable leniency, and demanded that the guilty parties be punished.M.Trarfeux replied, denying that he had long had in his possession documents which requ'red the arrest of Edmond Magnier, formerly Senator of the Var, and recently editor-in-chief of the Evene- ment, who was recently sentenced to a term of imprisonment for having re- celved part of the profits of the syndicate.Continuing, the Minister of Justice said that whenever the Government believed it had incriminating evidence it had prosecuted the parties involved.No deputy, he added, was included among the guilty parties.Amid continual Radical interruptions, M.Trarieux managed to say in addition that several names were known to the Government as having figured in the report of the expert, M.Flory, the official accountant, who made an enquiry into the finances of the South of France Railroad.He was interrupted by excited cries of \u201cNames,\u201d \u201cNames,\u201d \u201cNames, \u201cNames.\u201d In reply, M.Trarieux said: \u201cRouvier, Jules Roche, Etienne, Deloncle, Bardoux and others.\u201d When he was able to make himself heard the Minister of Justice added that the majority of those whose names had been mentioned had explained their position and he concluded with the remark: \u201cThe Chamber now knows the truth and if Parliament considers its dignity and honor compromised the Government will join the Chamber in voting for repressive measures and in the face of these explanations asks the Chamber for a vote of confidence.\u201d The order of the day pure and simple was then submitted to the Chamber and rejected by a vote of 406 to 105.M.Haberts then moved that the Chamber agree to prohibit members of Far- lament from joining the financial syndicates.The motion was accepted by the Premier, M.Ribot, and was adopted unanimously.13 Later M.Rouanet submitted a motion demanding that full light be thrown on the South of France Railroad scandals, asking the Government to prosecute all who have been found to be implicated in them, and to submit to the Chamber the report of the expert who enquired into the finances of the company.M.Ribot thereupon said it was useless to submit the expert\u2019s report, and as to the prosecutions, he added, the work of justice had been accomplished, and could not be reopened.M.Rouanet\u2019s motion asking for an explanation as to the partiality which had been shown towards those involved in the scandals, claiming that the authorities had been afraid to prosecute them, and demanding that the Minister of Justice publish the documents in the case, which were in his possession, was then adopted by a vote of 275 196.After the adoption of this m.on the Ministers left the Chamber of Deputies in a body, amid ironical Radical cheers, and went to the Elysee Palace, where they handed in their resignations to President Faure.The Chamber of Deputies was adjourned for a week.It is stated that neither M.Ribot, M.Poincare, nor M.Leygues, who were respectively Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Minister of Public Instruction and Worship,and Mtnister of the Interior, in the out-going Cabinet, will accept office again.Washington, D.C., Oct.28 \u2014Ambassa- dor Paternoitre, of France, was shown the brief announcement from Paris that the French Cabinet had resigned, and naturally was much surprised, as there had been no intimation of a crisis.The Cabinet assumed office ten months ago and has served continuously since Pre- silent Faure was elected.The Ambas- sacor says the resignations are not of a serious importance, as changes of the Cabinet have not the same significance under the Œrench system that they have in other countries.However, the railway question, which appears to have been the cause for the present rupture, is re- gardea by the Ambassador as of minor consequence.It does not involve na- Foreign tional considerations.M.Paternoître ls hepefu! that any changes effected will not result In.the retirement of M.Haro- taux, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, whose: administration has been marked by signat ability.The Embassy officials say that the resignations do not necessarily imply the retirement of the Cabinet, as such resignations, pro forma, are occasionally made to emphasize \u2018the attitude of the Cabinet on pending measures.ALD.SMITH'S POSITION.He Wishes to Restore Order in Finances and to Check Future Extravagance.Ald.Wilson Smith has a grievance against the public.He reproaches them with jumping at conclusions and passing judgment on the actions of aldermen without taking the trouble to enquire into the facts.\u201cI have been earnestly working,\u201d he said, \u2018to put the real condition of our civic finances before the public, and to devise & remedy such as to cnable us to honorably meet unavoidable obligations and to check extravagance in the future.I have fought consistently, I may say, to have everything done above board, so that the rate payers should have no excuse for remaining ignorant of our real situation.It was for that purpose that I was in favor of voting openly the $150,000 required to carry on the administration of affairs, instead of paying out the money without saying anything about it, as was done in the past.It was illegal, of course, but the expenditure was absolutely necessary.Why then not be frank and let the public know it ?And if there is any credit in being frank, why should we be prosecuted for it ?\u201cBut since the ratepayers would not take that view of the matter we had nothing left to do but to rescind our resolution.Still we are made the victims of attacks of those who will never be satisfied.\u2018\u2018As to my resolution to ask for authority to make a temporary loan, the general public docs not seem to have caught the principal reason for it.We are face to face with a deficit on current revenue account.It may be possible to make some reduction in the expenditure, but not sufficient to remain within our revenue.I have looked into the matter carefully and I speak from personal investigation.On the other hand we cannot derive enough from the proposed taxes on power, salaries, etc\u2026 to meet the deficiency.\u2018There remains only one other source of additional revenue, the real estate tax.If you increase that tax to 1 1-4 per cent.without making any special provisions as to how the additional revenue shall be used you may be sure that the increased taxation will remain forever, and that the money will be spent for all sorts of schemes, as-in the past.\u201cBy my proposition you will relieve the revanue account of $80,000 of interest which we must now pay out of the existing revenue, and you will provide tos the extinguishing ot $1,500,000 of liabilities imposed on the city by the Legislature.After that is done the special tax will cease to exist.While it does exist it cannot be used for any other purpose than that for which it has been created.Had the municipal affairs of Montreal aiways been run on that principle we would not find ourselves in the unpleasant necessity of imposing unpopular taxes to-day.My proposition in brief 1s that in order to meet the additional obligations of about $1,000,000 placed on the city in connection with opening and widening certain streets, and which was placed upon it at the instigation of the real estate proprietors interested, and to meet the deficit on revenue account of about $700,000 for the years 1894 and 1895, the city be empowered to borrow the amount necessary, not exceeding $2,000,000 \u2014 if it be found that $1,500,000 will cover, all the better \u2014 by means of a temporary loan at four per cent.for a term not exceeding 15 years.And in order that the new Council would have the borrowing of this it is to be dated from May 1, 1896.The specific purpose for which it is required is stated, and it cannot be used for any other purpose.This loan to be repaid by a special rate on all taxable real estate In the city.About an average of one-tenth of one per cent.would pay Interest and provide sinsing fund.And this special rate ceases on repayment of the loan.A special item would be added to each account for this specific purpose, so that it would be kept entirely separate from the regular taxes.' \u201cI want to see the City of Montreai placed in a gobd position, and the most rigid economy practised.\u201d THE HYAMS TRIAL: An Application Made for the Discharge of the Prisoners, Toronto, Ont., Oct.28.\u2014The trial of Harry and Dallas Hyams for the murder of Willie Wells is set down for the present assizes, which begins 6th November.Hyams\u2019 counsel has made an application to the Attorney-General for the discharge of the prisoners on the ground that at the last trial the Crown collected all the evidence obtainable and the circumstances were thoroughly canvassed and investigated.They have no more evidence to offer, and when they failed then they can have no reasonable hope of succeeding now.Francis Wellman, onc of the counsel for the prisoners, arrived in Toronto from New York to-day.He says that notwithstanding the death of the twins\u2019 uncle at New York, the defence has just as much money as it ever had.Mr.Wellman was for several hours closeted with his brother counsel today.He says he Is here for the special purpose of going over the evidence for the defence, and to examine into certain statements that may have a bearing in the second trial that were not known at the first hearing.After he has gone thoroughly over the case he will return to New York.Mrs.Harry Hyams says she will not be a witness against her husband at the forthcoming trial.LIME WORKS DESTROYED.Bad Fire at the Pominion Company\u2019s Plant at Lime Ridge.{Special to the Herald.)

On September 3, 1894, the body of a man was found in an old building on Callow Hi Street.The deceased Had been known as B.F.Perry and it was at first held to be a case of accidental death, as it was thought the man had died \u2018from inhizling the fumes of chloroform.Among the effects found in the room were several letters from Perry\u2019s wife posted in St.Louis but with the signatures tarn off.A St.Louis lawyer, however, enquired into the case, and found the body to be that of B.F.Pletzel of that city, apèx whose life there had been am insurance of $10,000.Holmes came forward and identified the body, and the money was paid.The second part of the case opened some time after in a strange manner.Marion C.Hedspeth, the notorious twain robber in jail in St.Louis, one day made a remark that Holmes, while in an adjoining cell, had couspir&s with Pietzel and Howe to swindle & Philadelphia insurance company by substituting a body supposed tio be that of Pietzel.Then began the lrant which re sulted in the arrest of Holmes for the murder of this man Perry or Pietzel.Phitadelphia, Oct.28.\u2014A sensation was created in the Holmes\u201d trial this morning, by icounsel for the prisoner withdtawing at Holmes\u2019 request, after they had made an ineffectual attempt to secure a post ponement.Holmes is conductimg his own case.Philadelphia, Oct.28.\u2014 When the Holmes case was called Mr.Shoemaker, for Holmes, asked for a continuance of the case for sixty days.He urged as the basis of his request lack of money and that the defence had not sufficient time to prepare their case.Mr.Rotan, of the defence, in arguing for a stay, sald that within the past four days evidence had come to their knowledge which would put an entirely different aspect upon the case.Judge Arnold promptly replied: \u2018The motion for a continuance is overruled.\u201d He briefly called attention to the fact that the defence had been fully apprised that no such motion would be entertained.Such was still the case.Mr.Shoemaker and Mr.Rotan then created a mild sensation by saying, turning to the court, if the judge's decision was Irrevocable they would withdraw from the case, but Judge Arnold spoiled this boomerang by declaring a member of the bar who would withdraw from a murder case on the very eve of its trial would be called upon to show cause why he should not be disbarred for unprofessional conduct.Counsel did not appear anxious to accept this alternative, but before they could reply Mr.Graham arose: \u2018As far as the plea of lack of money is concerned,\u201d he said, \u2018I have positive knowledge that large sums of money were offered within the last week to prominent attorneys at this bar to come into the case as assoclate counsel for the defence, showing that there are funds at hand.\u201d \u201cCall a Jury,\u201d said Judge Arnold.\u201cWill Your Honor allow the case to go over until to-morrow morning,\u201d pleaded Mr.Rotan.\u201cCall a jury,\u201d replied the judge firmly, and the calling of a jury was begun.One juror had been admitted by the commonwealth, when there was another sensation.Holmes arose in the dock and in a quivering volce said to Judge Arnold : \u201cMay it please the court, I have no inclination to continue with the trial of this case with Mr.Rotan and Mr.Shoemaker as my counsel, feeling that in view of their desire to withdraw my interests would be damaged.I therefore discharge them as my counsel.\u201d \u201cYou cannot discharge them, Mr.Holmes,\u201d answered Judge Arnold, \u2018\u2018that is for the court, and it they withdraw from this case they will be punished.\u201d \u201cIf,\u201d continued Holmes, his tones still more tremulous, \u201cif Your Honor will give me until to-morrow to secure additional counsel\u2014\u2014 \u201cWe will have no more debate, Mr.Holmes, the matter is decided.\u201d The examination of jurérs was about to bo proceeded with when Shoemaker again arose and stated that the prisoner absolutely forbade them from representing him in the case, and declared that he (Hoimes) would examine the jurors and witnesses himself.Judge Arnold sald he would permit Holmes to question the jurors if he so desired while counsel considered the question of their proceeding.Holmes armed himself with pencil and paper, and Enoch Turner, the first Juror, was turned over to him for examination.He had already stated, in answer to Mr.Graham, that he had formed an opinion in the case, but that he could nevertheless try it according to the evidence.Holmes began with the surprising queries: \u2018Mr.Turner, are you a married man; are you physically well; are you in a condition to serve in this case without delaying it?\u201d Receiving satisfactory answers, he took up the question of having formed an opinion, and challenged peremptorily.The next man, Frederick \u2018Slump, sr., grocer, had formed no opinion, and was accepted both by Mr.Graham and Mr.Holmes, At this juncture Messrs.Rotan and Shoemaker arose and declared that they felt obliged to withdraw from the case regardiess of consequences.\u201cYou must take the ccnsequences, then,\u201d sald the judge, and the two lawyers, without further ado, left the court rocm .Still determined to brook no delay, however, the commonwealth officers consulted with the judge, and then called upon Everett A.Schofield and J.M.Continued on Page % PRICE ONE CENT.MA PA DD DE DD DD DD D | - YOU WANT NEW SHIRTS?Why Not Buy the Best?We claim to have the best as well as the largest stock of shirts in Canada.twenty-five per cent.by buying your shirts from us, and at the same time get them better made and better fitting.Buy all your Shirts at R.J.TOOKE'S, 177 St.James Street.And 1553 St.Catherine Street, East.You can save at least - + 2 AL A 2 S22 2 > A, 2, SAS AS ASUS TS US OS AS UF US as CAS CSS CS CS TS CES OS AS CH AS AS PAS DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS Moral : Protect vourself and family with a policy in the TRAVELERS.EMPLE BUILDING.=~ ~ = = FRANK F, PARKINS, DON'T TAKE CHANCES Chiet Agent.With inferior tailors in making up your Fall wardrobe.Our prices will not trouble you when you consider the satisfaction in fit, style and wear.Fall suits and overcoats just as reasonable in price as you can afford to pay.J.J.MILLOY, Ladies\u2019 and Gentlemen\u2019s Tailor, 2415 St.Catherine Street.EEE LIGHT COLORS in Stonewall Jackson Cigars ARE EXCEPTIONALLY MILD, And are equally as fine in quality as the Noted Dark Colors of this Famous Brand.ER NO SECOND TRIAL.NAPOLEON DEMERS\u2019 CASE HAS COST THE PROVINCE ENOUGH.Attorney-General Casgrain Does not Think the Circamstances Ware pit Any More Expense, (Spectal to the Herald.) Quebec, Oct.28.\u2014Attorney-General Cas- grain declared to your reporter to-day that after having made a careful and long study of the case of Napoleon Demers, of Montreal, he has come to the conclu» sion that the prospects of obtaining a conviction in a fresh trial are not sufficient to warrant putting the province to more expense in the matter.Mr.Casgrain said that the first trial of De- mers cost over $30,000 to the province, and a second trial would cost about as much.His decision is based upon the fact that the provincial finances are in too poor a state to afford such an expense.i Napoleon Demers was tried at the last term of the Court of Queen's Bench on a charge of murdering his wife, and the jury being unable to agree on a verdict the prisoner was remanded to awaif a new trial.!

When the Armenians fled in terror from 3 their dwellings, they were shot down as § they ran, and a considerable number of mien and women, who were captured by the riot- § ers, were fastened to stakes and burncd alive.Churches were desecrated and the villages atbacked were pillaged.The cattle and all the portable property of any value belonging to the Armenians were driver away and carried off by the rioters.} Daring the disturbance 150 Armenians are repprted to have been killed.The few surviving villagers applied to the Governor of Baiburt for protection, who, § after hearing their complaint, sent ad | many as three policemen to the scene of | the massacre, bufi nob until after the slaughter was ended.The Turkish officials, it is claimed, know § who were the ringleaders of the outbreak § in the Baiburt District; but, apparently, § no steps have been taken to arrest then.The Turks, it is stated, have also altacked § the Armentans in the District of Gumush- dagh, near Trebizond, and Have slaughtered 3 many of them.\u2018The rfamber of Armenians massacred at Erzingjan is now said to be several hundred.)

if by any chance that is pasted then the taint will show in men between 50 and 60, and in women betweer, 40 à therefore, ! nd 50.This boy, and fatefu\u2019 cloud which in ma, disclose ftself by a taint ined ood from ancestors who were raving maniacs.You have heard the doctors examined and they have told you that 75 to 90 per cent.of the insane in asylums are so by heredity.Gentlemen, if that be true, and it has not been contradicted, the prisoner started with the chances 90 in & 100 that he would follow his Insane ancestors.This was kept from him by his mother till she told him in jail in Montreal.In deciding this question of sending this man to the scaffold, where he would walk as unmoved as you see him standing in the dock, I ask you not to forget, as honest men, that he did not start as you did, with the race equal.It 1s a terrible foundation to build upon.This to my ming, is one of the strongest possible facts you must not lose sight of.You ail know the force of heredity, and the manner in which traits and characteristics crop out.This taint in the blood, this disease liable at any time to show itself, was like a slumbering volcano, llable to burst forth under excitement of some terrible form, anything which called for quick and active work- Ing of the brain, because this terrible disease sits in the seat of the soul, of the reason, in the brain.I will ask you now to go over the life history of the prisoner at the bar with me.\u201d Beginning with the early life of the boy, counsel referred to the evidence of the mother, who must be believed.She came before them and told them how she tried to teach him the rudiments of religion, and gave her whole attention to him.Looking at her as she stood in the box, they could see she had sacrificed her life for him.She told them he could not speak in a way she could understand till he was five, and at school at ten he could hardly be understood.Moving to Father Hampden\u2019s school at about the age of adolescence, Mr.Greenshields asked the jury to carefully consider the story of his life at that critical period as told by Father Dunn and his mother.With all special advantages given him to acquire knowledge, he was still unable to avail himself of them.At tim 4 he had lapses into what was dese ihe as a blankness of mind, developing a taste for firearms, which culminated in the terrible tragedy.EF rerything to properly and rightly d velop his moral and intellectual natur was done.It was sald in some quarters that this was a spoiled boy.Wei there nqt the strong» est possible eyfdence to satisfy the jury that his mother did everything possible in life to.keep him within proper bounds and givé him an education, but nothing mor: than he was entitled to so far 28 liberty was concerned ?After a year fie went to Clongowes, where he was troubled by neuralgic headaches, due to & Want of circulation of blood in the blood vessels of the brain, as scientific men had told him.He took no part in the play of his companions, having no physical stamina.When his father asked him what professton he would like to follow, he instead decided to learn his father\u2019s business.From his earliest moments he had a mania for firearms.Insanity developed in Some instances as sulcidal mania, and in others as homicidal mania, and the game spirit which Jurors brought *o à case of suicidal in- canity shoul?be brought to g case like this.This boy was imbued with the omicidal mania, growing within him like the grain which ripened beneath the Sun and rain, and developing at the early age of ten or twelve in the shooting at Dooley's child.Mr.Greenshields reminded the jury that the witnesses before the Irish commission were not the friends Or relatives of the prisoner, but the best Deople of Waterford.If any child of any juror in that box was guilty of the things which young Valentine Shortis ad they would say he was insane and should be confined in an asylum.The learned counsel for the defence had cross-examined the witnesses, asking them if they had walked and talked with a fool, ate and slept with a fool, and not incarcerated him.This Was the spirit of one hundred year4 ago, when insane people were treated as criminals.If & man was a fool it Was no reason {n this Christian age why he should not receive the same consideration and affection, nay more, than those whom God hag sent, into the world with full faculties, The boy had shown a cruelty to animals which proved an absolute volq of moral responsibility.Referring to the cases where Shortis fired at steamers and persons on the waart and at other places, Mr.Greenstields asked, \u201cIs that the act of & max ir the possession of all his faculties or that of a man who 1s insane?\u201d A lawyer, Mr.Allingham, swore before the commission that the prisoner had ridden up the track from Tramore to Waterford shouting like a madman and firing a revolver.Other witnesses told of his mad freaks of riding.Were these the acts of a sane man, or of an insaneg mar.or an insane boy ?Everyone spoke of him as \u2018Mad Shortis,\u201d \u2018\u201c\u2018Shortis the fool,\u201d \u201cVal.the fool.\u201d The Judge might tell them they must not find him insane because people called him so, but as men of intelligence they would know that a nickname would not attach to a man without reason.He was not long in Canada before the people dubbed him with the same title.He was not there long before he was called \u201cle grande fou\u201d and \u201cthe great fool.\u201d Counsel for the Crown might say it was because he wore knickerbockers, but they would know a man did not receive such a name for no other reason.All these acts were the acts of a madman.They were not acts standing by themselves, but a serles of madman\u2019s freaks from the ear- lest development of the childhood of the boy up to the moment he hadi come to Canada.It was asked why did he come to Canada; did his father not know of his acts?They all knew the odium which attached to being an informer in Ireland.\u2018The father was travelling about the country, and these people \"Ed not tell him about his son, first, because they did not want to have the hated and loathed name of Informer, and second, because they did not want to wound the feelings of the parents.The father only knew of two of his foolish acts, and that his boy was unsteady.Believing that this land was one where a boy had a better chance, and that if thrown on his own resources it would develop his Independence and make a man of him, he gent him out here.Any of the jurors who came from the old land would know the spirit of the people there, and the reasons which led to their emigration.It was to better his position he was sent out here; not to murder.Against his mother\u2019s will he came, and proper provision was made for him.His mother came with him to see him settled, and spent some weeks with him.Did this show that he was shipped out to Canada to get rid of him ?Up to this time they had the insane taint working out in him.He was paying for the sins of his forefathers, brought about by violation of God\u2019s moral laws or not.Coming to Canada they found the same sort of actions coming out.They had been told by Mr.and Mrs.Mulcahey, Mr.Matthews and other witnesses of his putting cartridges on the stove, placing matches in an envelope to send home, of washing his feet with his stockings on in the Cadillac Hotel, of flourishing and firing revolvers on the street, of sleeping on benches in Dominion Square with a revolver by his side.DAILY

turned over on his bed with his face.tc the wall and slept like a ttle child.The evidence of the doctors was then taken up, showing, counsel stated, that the natural imbecility of the boy had turned to incurable insanity.He appealed to the jury to find a verdict to this effect, and allow the boy to be properly cared for in an asylum.He was especially hard on the Crown, who, he said, dare not put a single doctor in the box to contradict the medical testimony.\u20acy madg no move to have him examined till eight days before the trial, and then Dr, Villeneuve reported that prisoner told him he was advised by his lawyers not, to say anything.This very fact sh\u2018 véd the insanity of the man, for If PL had been only feigning, as the ~rown insinuated, he would never make such a statement to a Crown witness.The Crown dare not put Dr.Villeneuve in the tox, for as an honest man he would have to kill their case and declare the prisoner was insane.Mr.Greenshields then took up the evidence in rebuttal of the plea of insanity, and concluded \u2018his speech by a magnificent peroration, in which he once more asked the jurors to find the prisoner insane in accordance with the evidence.He sat down at three minutes to six, having spoken over three hours.Mr.St.Pierre will address the jury in French to-day, and it is probable that Mr.Macmaster wili begin his speech in the afternoon.\u201c.HOLMES ON TRIAL.Continued from Page 1, Fahy, young members of the bar, who agreed to assume the responsibility, with all the aid possible from Mr.Graham.Holmes, however, objected, on the ground that, as he knew nothing of these gentlemen, he did not care to entrust his fe to them.i \u201cAs far as aid from Mr.Graham is concerned,\u201d he added, with unveiled bitterness, \u2018\u2019I have abundant proof in the past year what promises of aid from the District Attorney's office mean.May I be allowed a postponement till to-mor- row to see Mr.R.O.Moon, who is al- reaCy familiar with the case, and whom I know I can engage?\" \u201cDo you, then, refuse to allow these gentlemen to defend you?\u201d \u201cI do, sir.If I am not allowed to continue until to-morrow, I must ask to try the case myself.\u201d \u201cWell, we will go on to-day,\u201d sald the Judge, \u2018\u2019and we will see about your engaging Mr.Moon later on.\u201d The examination of jurors was then resumed.At 116 p.m.the 12 jurymen had been selected, and the court then took recess unti! 8 p.m.Lawyer Moon declined to participate in the case unless a continuance was granted, and, as Judge Arnold declined to do this, Holmes will have to act as his own lawyer.The Jurors who were sworn are: Foreman Andrew Hurtel, shoemaker; Robert Chambers, carter; Robert J.Kin- cade, florist; Samuel \u2018Wood, manufacturer; Richard Johnson, painter; Lewis Reese, farmer; \u2018William P.Hansell, wagon huild~ er; James Kenney, foreman, Linford Biles, paymaster; Thomas Sloan, driver; J.J.Smith, engineer, and George D.Clash, cigarmaker.The clerk read in detall the indictment to the jury.The twelve men stood up, 2s did also Holmes, who listened unmoved to the legal verblage charging him with the murder of Pietzel.The court then, at 12.45 p.m., took a recess until three o'clock.Promptly at three o'clock the court reconvened and the jurors were brought In and seated in the box.A moment later Holmes, closely guarded by two officers, was placed in the dock.The unexpected sensational developments of the morning had attracted such comment that all those who could by any pretext gain entrance to the room surged in.Meanwhile the corridors without were thronged with excited groups, discussing the strange situation.There was one general point of comment among those within the court room, and that was touching the marvellous display of nerve exhibited by Holmes, the immobility of his whole demeanor, and the searching keenness with which he questioned the jur- ors\u2014keenness which would have done credit to many an experienced lawyer.It was 8.10 o'clock when District Attorney Graham began his opening address to the jury.After rehearsing the technical details of the charge as laid down in the indictment and explaining the legal meaning he told them that it was within their power to find one of four verdicts if the evidence justifjzd them.These he signified as manslaughter, murder in the second degree, murder in the first degree, and acquittal, and he defined the elements of each of the three crimes.He felt assured, however, that after hearing the evidence they would agree with him that the crime was murder of the first degree, because the Intent was plain from the manner in which the crime was committed.If it was murder at all it was murcer in the first degree.Proceeding, the District Attorney outlined the story of the crime, from the time of the discovery of the body in the Callow Hill \u2018Street house, by Eugene Smith, a carpenter, who had been in the employ of the dead man.\"The body, burnec and blackened, was lying in an attitude of peaceful repose, said Mr.Graham, without a sign of struggle.Near by was a glass jar, broken as if by the allegea explosion in which Pietzel was supposed to have met his death.Mr.Graham shattered this theory by declaring that the glass was broken inside.ana not outside, and away from the jar, as would have been the case had there really been an explosion of the fumes of the cleaning fluid it had contained When found the body was badly decomposed, so much so that the face was almost beyond recognition, although All these to counsel's mind, and surely the crime Bad been committed only a \u201cAna now we come to the evidence » |, the crime,\u201d continued Mr.Greenshie\"» , rob* rs; any sane man have done that, after ce .;, :: tain by remaining there?He wad ar- | Le rested and locked up in the cell, with! ed to! day or so before.\u2018This, Mr.Graham de- clarea, was scheme, for ft was found that the window had been left open and the body | arranged in such a position that the rays of the sun would fall upon it and hasten decomposition.the room had been carefully.arranged, \u201cnot by the dead man,\u201d thundered the District Attorney, \u201cbut by the destroyer\u201d part of Holmes\u2019 well {aid In truth, everything in Passing to the time of the autopsy, Mr.Graham related how the coroner's physicians had found the lungs congested, the heart empty\u2014proving that death had come suddenly\u2014and the traces of chloro- \u2018orri In the stomach, evidently injected \u201cer death, because in à living stomach itation would have been produced, ich was not apparent in this case.Graham detailed the forming of the \u2018ged conspiracy before the murder to \u2018aud the insurance company by the stitution of a body for that of Plet- % and enlarged upon it and its many \u2018ications at considerable length.He wm et the history of Holmes\u2019 various nents, the disappesrance of the \"el children, and the many conflict iv tories told by Holmes, all of which wo been fully published.1 .roughout the District Attorney's address Holmes sat with his legis crossed tak § coplous notes and listening with :i nt Interest, but without a shade ot ression, even when Mr.Graham\u2019s re- s nt voice rang out in the most scath- lenunciation.drict Attorney Graham spoke for \u2018our and twenty-five minutes, con- wn g at 4.40 o'clock in the afternoon.ti M held & brief talk with the judge -« reed with him that in view of the +\u2018.8 of the hour, it would be inex- to begin the taking of testimony, examination of the first witness 9 Interrupted by the supper.It refore, decided to adjourn court o'clock to-morrow morning.this became known to Holmes in the dock and the last sensa- .1e day, replete with extraordinary wu.znts occurred.\u2018\u201c May it please Your Honor,\u201d he began, his weak voice vibrating with the emotion which his wonderful self-control prevented from betraying in his face, \u201cI am forced to ask that certain privileges be accorded me in prison.They are not very extensive privileges.I must ask the District Attorney to allow me to have in my cell light, paper and writing materials, that I may be enabled to prepare my case.I shall also ask the privilege of sending, or having some one connected with the court sent to Fort Worth, Texas, for certain papers essential to me\u2014how essential I did not know until I heard Mr.Graham's address this afternoon.Again, I ask that I be furnished with a list of the witnesses to be called by the commonwealth.\u201d .\u201cI decline to give that,\u201d said the District Attorney, emphatically.\u201cI will furnish that to nobody.\u201d \u201cThen,\u201d continued Holmes, \u2018I repeat my request for an interview with a certain party\u2014the party I spoke of this Morning,\u201d and observing an enquiring look from Mr.Graham, he exclaimed sharply, and with a deflant gaze at that official, \u201cmy wife.\u201d \u201cWhich wife ?* retorted the District Attorney.There was a suspicion of the friendless man as he responded with 8 bitterness that was real \u201cYou well know whom I mean, Mr.Graham, the person you have seen fit to designate as Miss Yoke, thereby casting a slur on both her and myself.\u201d \u201cShe will not see you,\u201d the District Attorney declared.\u201cYou had the opportunity to speak to her in my office, but she shunred you.\u201d \u201cI never had,\u201d Holmes cried.\u201cI say that I was legally married to this woman two years ago, and there has been no separation excepting that brought about by you, Mr.Graham.At least,\u201d he plead- ed\u2014and there was no one in the tribunal who could for a moment repress a feeling of pity for the unfortunate man\u2014 \u2018at least allow me to write and ask her, 80 that she may answer, and I can read in her writing that she does not want to see me.\u201d \u201cShe told you so to your face,\u201d claimed Mr.Graham.\u201cI beg to differ with you, sir,\u201d and an angry flush for an instant suffused the cheeks bleached with the prison pal- or.5 Here Judge Arnold interposed.\u201cMr.Holmes,\u201d he said \u2018you will be allowed to write a letter to her, and it will be sent by one of the court officers.\u201d \u201cI do not want it taken\u2019 by any officer who is in any way connected with the District Attorney,\u201d said Holmes with a look of scorn at Mr.Graham.\u2018\u2018You have had every opportunity of speaking to her,\u201d the latter repeated.It is indifferent to me whether you see her or not.\u201d \u201cThen will you answer a direct: question?\u201d demanded Holmes, searchingly.\u201cHave you or have you not intercepted letters from me to her since last July?Haven't you done everything in your power to keep us apart?Answer yes or no.\u201d \u201cYou have no right to so question me, but I will say that I have never in my life addressed six words to her.\u201d \u201cMr.Holmes,\u201d sald Judge Arnold, \u201cthese are mere idle suspicions.You may write your letter; it will be taken by a court officer and no one but she shall see it.\u201d \u201cAnd,\u201d added the District Attorney, \u201cI will have her in court to-morrow morning, besides.\u201d \u201cI will see,\u201d concluded the judge, \u201cthat you get light and writing materials.\u201d\u201d \u201cI thank you, sir, for the privilege,\u201d Teplied Holmes, politely dropping his head.The court was then adjourned, the Jurors locked in their rooms under careful guard, and the man who is being accused of belng the greatest criminal of modern times was conveyed back to prison to prepare the story which he hopes will save him from the hangman's noose.! © ex-
