Not Guilty At Dundalk "In a m.oment, in .the twinkling of an eye," we are told the grim message is quite likely to come, and is forcibly reminded in the death of John Robert Durkin. only son of the late Francis Durkin of .Amaranth. He was last seen about the place on Monday of last week, by Messrs Harry Whaley and Wm. Menary, who noticed him at work with his team. No' person miss- ed him until Thursday, when the noise of his cattle attracted the attention of W. Menary. who went over see what was the trouble. Not finding Mr. Durkin in the house, Mr. Menary went to the stable and was likewise unable to get any trace of his neighbor, and thus continued his search further. After awhile he found the body partly beneath a wire fence which he had been working at. Death must have come instantly, for the shovel was at one side, just where he had apparent- ly been using them in the work. The body showed no marks of injury al- though his overalls were badly torn, fuite likely hy some of the stock. Mr. Menarey immediately called help and notified the authorities, an inquest being held on Friday. Dr. Baker performed an autopsy which revealed death to be caused by a clot of blood in the brain, a verdict of death from natural causes being returned. The late Mr. Durkin was the only son of the late Mr. Francis Durkin. %yho died last November, and had been living alone. He was 57 years of age, unmarried and of quiet disposition; a good neighbor and friend. The only son in the family, he remained, at home giving his best to the advantage and comfort of his parents, whose welfare seemed his one idea. He is survived by six sisters Mrs. Thomp- son and Mrs. Irvine of Orangeville, Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Olson of To- ronto, Mrs. Harvey of Regina and Mrs. Bearr.er of Woodstock. S. S.

The evidence presented by the Crown and by the defence was very conflicting, witnesses for the Crown swearing that Bell was in Dundalk on the night of November 3rd last, the date which was mentioned in the charge, while witnesses for the defense, and Bell himself gave evidence that he had but driven throurrh Dundalk on that date, and had not : opped at all. A very inteiv oting piece of evidence was turned in when Cown .Attorney Dyre was cross-questioning Boll. It came out that Bell was to have been married early in .A.pril. In fact his marriage was set for the day just after he was arrested. "Your marriiijre was postponed, of course?" Mr. Dyre asked. "Yes," replied Bell, "until this mat- ter was cleared up." " 'Cleared up' " '.' queried Mr. Dyre. "What do you mean?" "Until I was either found guilty or sentenced." "You mean she vould marry you in either case"? "Yes." There were qu;.e a large number of witnesses, and the casre occupied prac- tically the entire afternoon. Mr. R. G. .A.gnew. of Toronto appeared for Bell, and Crown .A.ttorney DjTe had charge of the prosecution. IN ME ylORIAM LE.\CH â€" In sad and loving mem- ory of my dear brother.
