A. G. Riddie and J. P. Tusiin—took a seat between them and frequently conversed with them. here was some little delay occasioned by the non-appearance of Dr.J. F. H: n, the physi- cian who made the ¢ mortem examination, whose absence was uted for i ness, Dr. Burrows appearing with a certificate that he Was too ill to appear. After a consultation, in which the defense urged that the trial proceed, Mr. Harrington said he would be willing that the case should go ou without that witness. ‘The prisoner was arraigned standing at the Clerk’s desk, and in answer to the question by t ¢ Clerk responded * Not guilty The District Attorney stated that he would not a kKaverdict of murder, but would be content i the jury found a verdict of mansiaughter.

They alse ex show that the necused stated after fh that he had never seen the woman, they would produce evidence to show that she was there several times before. He regretted the law was not more plain than it was,and that sucha case as they expected to prove was not murder. 5 Mr. Riddle, for the defence, said they should not allow the prejudices they have against of- fences of this character to intiience them against the prisoner. The government now disclosed that they expected to prove an attempt at abor- tien, when from the indictment it would appear ; that it was a direet charge of snurder by polon | the accused is to answer.
