When His Lordship asked if the prisoner had anything to say before sentence was pronounced, the prisoner at once arose and said: â€""Yes, my Lord, I) have something to say. I‘m “an inndceot man and I wish to let the people see that I am innocent. The jury this convicted me are responsible for my life." He went into all the details of his movements, strongly asâ€" serting) his innocence of, the crime ich against him. "I‘ve been in Gibraltar;â€" Malta, Burroah," he cried, "I‘ve ossed the Punjaub, I‘ve heen in EeSt Africa. ‘ I‘ve fought in Afghanâ€" istan. [Yes, I‘ve carried . despatches between the lines in Afghanis.an with The turned against against The Judge, in his charge, considered there was very strong evidence against MacWherrel, not soâ€" much against Walker. to _ With referenceâ€"to the killing of the two people, he said the presumption of the evidence was that it must have taken two persons to do the deed. This told stroogly against Walker. Mr. Osler spoke for an hour and a half. â€"some one that had since vanished into airâ€"that excuse does not ordinarâ€" ily prevail. That burden of proof is upon the prisoners and not upon the Crown. â€" How did they gâ€"t those goods, undoubtedly the dead man‘s property, undoubtedly stolen at the time of the murder ? Mr. Osler took up MacWherrell‘s statement as to his movements on Thursday and Friday, and pointed out how often he had conâ€" tradicted himself and how improbable his statementg were. The Crown did not assume that the crime was comâ€" mitted on any one night, but the more likely| theory was Thursday evening. The prisoners both confessed in the first blush of the case that the hu se was in Toronto Thursday night. If the harse was in Toronto at 8 o‘clock, when did it leave? The old couple were likely to get their chores and tea by six o‘clock. Mrs. Osborn says she saw a light in the barn about 8 o‘clock. If it was Friday night how did the horse get to Scholes‘ at 81 Donohue says the horse was at his place on Friâ€" day afternoon. That the Crown could not trace the horse all Thursday night and could not find all Williams‘ clothes was,not strange; MacWherrell evidentâ€" ly hLdJi some friendly retreat in Toronâ€" Mr, Osler‘s address was a terrible arraignment of the prisoner, It is a presumption of law that he who is found in the possession of stolen goods is the thief, and the law casts upon him the burden of proving that he is not the thief. The ordiaary excuse that they got posession of the goods from & man they had never seen before Mrs. Chas. McKay, counsel for Walker, followed him and spoke for an hour. He pointed out that it would be impossible for the prisoner Walker to go out to Williams‘ place along with MacWherrel on Thursday, the l4th, and that throughout the whole trans«ction he was MacWherâ€" rell‘s ‘servant. | flr:mpton, March 17.â€"The taking of the evidence in the celebrated Willâ€" 1ams murder trial was concluded this nTonJlng & | Mr. Robinetté, MacWherrell‘s counâ€" sel, spoke for two hours. He b.sed his defence on the ground that suspiâ€" cion connected these two men with the crimgé and the derectives, police and newspapers had twisted every incident to fit the theory that they were guilty. The gase for the Crown was marshalled by the best criminal lawyer in Canada, out rested ma1nly on policeevidenc» that did n»t stand high. ‘I here was no blood on MacWherrel‘s clothes, the Crown had failed to trace the pipe found in Williams‘ house to the prisoner, the stick did not belong to MacWherrell, the identifcation of the purse and reâ€" volver‘ as being Williams‘ was vory faint, the cutter tracks and telephone wire pointed to F:iiday night as the time of the murder while the Crown could not find where the horse was on Thursday night, P. C. Crogs‘s evidence as to seeing prisoners on Thursday night was not believed for a long time by the detectives, there were several mis:ing articles which the Crown had not traced, MacWherrelt‘s bold moveâ€" ments after the murder, the absence of motive for the murder, and MacWherâ€" rell‘s story that he bought the horse from two strangersâ€"all these points were touched on, as well as the risk of cireumstantial evidence.
