Dr. Wolt sworn--TI assisted Dr. McGilli- vray in making the post mortem examina- tion on the body of Mr. T. D. McGee. My impression is that the wound inflicted caus- ed instantaneous death. In other respects I agree with Dr. McGillivray. Robert MacFariane, M. P., sworn--I was in the House of Commons last night ; saw Mr. McGee on the adjournment of the house this morning § accompanied Mr. Me.- Gee to the corner of Spark and Metealf Sts, about a quarter alter two o'clock. We then parted, he orossing Sparks street to the south side on his way to his lodgings at Mrs. Trotter's, while I crossed to the east side of Metcalf street, I crossed Sappers Bridge on the north side of my lodgings in Lowertown. I heard no pistol shot. There were no other persons in company with us when I parted with Mr. McGee. I saw John Buckley of Toronto, and three others whom 1 did not then recognise. 'They were coming imme- diately after us down Metealf street, and followed Mr. McGee across Sparks street. After I left him, and when I crossed Met- calf street on my way home [ met Mr, Galt and Mr. Cartier, who* were going down Metcalf street on the west side, and who crossed Sparks street, John Buckley sworn--I live in Toronto corner of York and Wellington streets. -- Keep livery stables there.

Patrick Eagleson sworn--I am clerk in the employ of my brother, left the shop last might at, I think, ten minutes to eight, aud went to Lapere's. Remained there constantly till nearly three o'clock playing cards.

The assassination case was brought be- fore the Police Magistrate, Martin, O'Gara, this morning, at 11 0'¢lock, in the new Po- lice Court House adjoining the City Hall. The prisoner Whelan was brought in uncler gnard, and placed in the dock on the direct charge of the murder of Mr. McGee, laid before the authorities last night. He appeared somewhat worn and fatigued, as i oe had passed a sleepless might, but as- sumed an air of apparent indifference. The Court room is small, andl few people, save the Press and those connected with the Cpurt, gained admittance. The news that Whelan would be tried before the Po- lice Court this morning was not generally known throughout the aity; and only about a hundred people had gathered round the Conrt House when the case was opened. On the bench were the Police Magistrate, Mayor H. J. Friel and Alderman Mosgrove. Mr. O'Reilly, Q. C., Recorder of Kings- ton, appeared on behalf of the Crown. The Police Magistrate read the informa- tion to the prisoner, prisoner standing. The information and complaintot Edward John O'Neil, of the city of Ottawa and Pro- vince of Ontario, police officey taken npon oath before rhe Police Magistrate, set fourth that on the 7th day of April, prisoner did feloniously and with malice aforethought kill and" murder the Hon Thomas D'Atcy 13 MoGee. The Police Magistrate said 10 We prison- ar--¢ Are you represented by Counsel 7"? Priconet (looking round)--Not that I am aware of. i Mr. O'Reilly then proceeded to call wit- nesses. .Dr. Van Courtland, Corner sworn--Was called to hold examination ot the body of Mr. McGee ; was called about three o'clook on Tuesday morning; went to the Toronto House, Sparks street, there saw the body of Mr. McGee lying extended on the sidewalk dead ; saw a large quantity of blood running from the body down the sidewalk into the guiter quite sufficient blood to accotint for death ; blood was issuing from the back part of the neck, and from the mouth; I' re- quested persons standing near to turn the body over; discovered a wound on the back of the neck, a httle to the right. My opin- jon is, the cause of death is from a gun shot wound ; found the bullet afterwards. (Wit- ness here produced tho bullet;he had found) At the request of the Queen's Council, wit- ness made a private mark on the ballet, which wae then handed to Detective O'Neil, who also made a private mark upon it. 'At the request of the Queen's Counsel, Dr. McGillivray gave me the bullet in the morning ; 1 was sent for immediately after he had examined the appearance of the body ; the clothes the deceased had on at the time of the murder are now in my Loharge ; his cane is here ; it was lying under his, body; at the request of the Queen's Counsel the clothes of the deceased were handed over to the charge of the court. Dr. Van Courtland put in a request for the bullet when: the court was done with it. Sargeant John Wyld, P. C. 0. Rite Bri- gade, ¢ A' company, of Onawa,'swoin--1I| knew prisoner 5 knew him first at Quebec, by tne name of James Sullivan ; my reai- | ment was then stationed at Quebec, in 1865 and 1866 ; do not know what the prisoner was engaged in when I first knew him ; afterwards he was employed as tailor in the regiment ; worked there for somo months at the citadel ; was then arressted along with another man, on suspicion of being a Fe- nian. Knew him also in the spring of 1566, as corporal in the Volunteer Cavalry, Que- bee. Do not know what company he was wm; after his arrest and subsequent dis- charge he left, and 1 did not see him again for some time ; he was n the cavalry before his arrest ; o not know that he was arrest- ed subsequent to that ume ; saw him afier- wardas in Montreal. Prisoner--Was it before I went to the Citadel that I joined the Cavalry ? Witness--it was before. Prisoner--you say I was arrested at the Citadel on a charge of Feniaaism. What transpired at that time ? Witness-- you were released. Prisoner--was I teund guilty ? * Witness-- you are not found guilty ; you were released. To Mr. O'Reilly--He was arrested for be- ing 1n eompany with a man who was tam- pering with the soldiers. Wm. Grahanf sworn--I am doorkeeper in the House of Commons ; take tickets at the door of the gentlemen's gallery ; saw prisoner several times ; was engaged taking' tekets on Monday night last; my attention was attracted to prisoner most particulaply on Monday night last ; saw him several times before, bul was not acquainted with tum; prisoner visited the house oftener on Monday night than ever before ; T thought it strange he should go up so often ; he went up and down four times; gave his tickets each time ; saw him that night in a Jong conversation with Patrick Buckley in the Grand lobby of the house, about 100 clock 3 ne first presented a ticket to me about 9 o'clock ; came down a short me after- wards ; he kept Himself in a fidgety way the whole evening 3 perhaps it might be three-quarters of an hour after going down the first time till he returned § hejdid not re- main long in the galleries the second time ; [think Mr. McGee was then addressing the house ; [ thing it was about a quarter past 12 when he came up the last time ; did not think he was under the influence of liquor 3 he had drab colored cloathes on at that ime--nught fitting pants; I think Mr. MeGee left the house about 20 minuties past 2; did not notice Mr. McGee leaving the house ; I left before him ; do not know from my own knowledge when Mr. McGee left, only from hearsay ; Mr. MoGee's coat and hat were kept 1n the lobby ; did not notice the prisoner go into the west lobby that night. Prisoner-- You #ay I gave you four tickets at four different times that night ? Witness-- Yes: Prisoner--Who gave me those tickets ? Wifness--T do not know. Prisoner-- What time was it when I had conversation with Buckley ? Witness-- Between nine and ten o'clock. Prisoner-- Where were we standing when we were talking ? Witness-- At the main lobby door. Prisoner-- Was anybody nearat the time ? Witness-- There was nobody but you two. To Mr, O'Reilly--I did not notice any- one coming vp the slairs with the prisoner To the Police Magistrate---Buckley was the only person Isaw talkingjto'the prisoner that night ; each time the prisoner went down from the gallery I saw him speak to Buckley. Edward John 0'Neil, swoin--I am a De- tective officer ; got some information about the prisoner relative to the murder of Mr. McGeeon the day of the murder ;, went in search of the pusoner in company with De- tective Cullen of the city police of Montreal, and Sergeant Donohue of the water police of Montreal, and other officers found him in the house of Michael Starrs about half-past ten that night ; from appearance he had just gone into ~ the house when we arrested him; said tohim first, ¢ What is your name? He ans- wered, 'James Whelan ;? T then said you are my prisoner ; I had previously re- ceived information that he had a pisfol. Therofure 1 placed my hands on each side of his coat pockets, and said tc bim--Ilet me have what you have got in your possession } at thie time Sergeant Davis came up; 1 tlowed him to search the right hand coat | published in the interests of pocket, while I searched the left, first hav- ing felt a lump in each of the pockets ; in the left eaat pocket, I found a box of pistol cartridges such as these in Smith and Waesson's revolvers ; those are the ones produced in court; they are Sect's cartrid- ges; there were 29 cartridges ; there are now 28 carindges ; I gave the other one to Sergeant Davis ; immediately after taking the cartridges out of the leit*éoat pocket, O'Donohue of the Montreal Police took a cleaner out of the same pocket. Sergeant Davis then pulled a revolver out of his nght coat pocket, the same revolver that is now produced in court. It is Smith and Wes- eon's make--a new one--a six shooter, No. 50847 marked on the but of the stock. Six charges in chambers were found when taken, five of them appeared to have been in for sume time, from the grease and dust round the edges, and discoloration ; the other appeared only recently put in. My attention was then drawn to the revolver itself, one barrel was recently greased on the inside, and the muzzle then showed in- dications of burnt powder, as if the revol- had been but recently discharged. I found also that in the front part of the cylinder, at the mouth of each of the cells,there were in- dicationsof grease having been carefull spread on the top of every ball and passed down, It appeared to have been done to avoid suspicion of the revolver being just lately discharged. Cartridges are placed in the revolver from the but end of the cylin- der, und the gtease inside the eylinder could not have been from the cartridge. Detective Cullen, myself and the other offi- cers with us, went up stairs, searched his trunk, and found some private letters, newspapers, some books, a number cf papers calted Jiish American, published in New York, dated 7th March, 1868, a paper Fenianism. (O'Reilly here read the headings of different articles in it indicating such character). From the headings of the artizles, it shows itto be a paper devoted to Fentanism ; in his jachet was found the Constitution and By-Laws of the St. Patrick's Benevolert Society, Montreal, published by Lovell & Gibson, 1867 ; also two tickets to the sham- rock Quadrille Club, Onawa ; the Enn go Bragh branch j one to admit Mr. James Whelan, signed by the Secretary, W. D. O'Brien, the other signed in blank ; same kind of tickets; two dollars monthly is the price ; the tickets were dated 241) February, 1668 ; the tickets to the annual ball of the St. Patrick's Society, Ottawa ; the prisoner 100k the greater number of the articles out of his pockets ; among the articles found on the prisoner was a little black-covered book, which the Queen's Counsel consider- asked for another glass of wine, which I re- fused him, as it was late; I then left the bar-room and went into the dizing room ; he followed, and seeing pen and ink there, asked me why I did not give him them ; 1 said that was my business, and told him in a hasty manner to leave, and that I should tell his friend Bryce on him. The prisoner declared he had no question to put. Mr. O'Reilly at this stage asked on be: half of the prosecution, that tne prisoner should be remanded for eight days, as he believed "from his knowledge of the case that this delay was important for the ends of justice. he prisoner said he had no objection to offer, and the County Attorney consenting on behalf of the Crown, the Magistrate at once granted the delay asked for, and then at two o'clock remanded the prisoner for eight days, until the 16th, at 10 o'clock. The prisoner was then moved under guard of the rifle brigade to goal. MORE ABOUT WHELAN. The(ilobe correspomdent to the other state- ments abont Whelan adds :-- A man named Farmer, who was mn the gallery of the House the night of the debate, remembers seeing Whelan there on that occasion, and was very much annoyed at his frequent jumping up in his séat, and going in and out. A lady with Farmer also noticed the fidgetty demeanour of Whelan, Farther [ am told that immediately after the murder, when he was at Rnssel's, he was inquinng for Doyle from a boy there. The boy said Doyle was gone to see Mr. McGee who was murderad, and wondered very much when Whelan expressed no astonishment and no desire to go and see the remuins®al- 80, but turned homewards, and as he (Whe- lan) admits, went directly to bed. Among the documents found in Whelan's possess- ion was a letter from his sister in Manches- ter, England, which detailed how a relative at Whelan's (a brother I believe,) was half or whole killed in a fair in Ballinasloe. Another letter was {rom Whelan's wife. In which: she speuks of having been short of means, snd that the bai iff was going lo seize on her, when she had recourse to Mr. Barney Devlin for professional advice, which she got. Orrawa, Friday, 2 A .M. GENERAL VIEW OF THE SITUATION. The excitement and interest as regards Whelan is increasing from the facts disclos- ed at the Police Court this morning, the general opinion being that the authorities have got hold of the right man, and an im- pression is created that a web has been carefully wound round the guilty parties which 'will make it.impossible for them to ed ot importance, and declined opening in court, but would reservk examination to some other occasion valentine was | also found among the letters, having on 1 a picture of a man hanging by the neck to a i log of wood, the following verse being be- low the cut :--¢ This 1s the shaddow of what really should be of atbsnch worthy beings as thee. A log of wood and a bit of twine will suit you better than me for a valentine.' After satislying ourselves of the search, we brought lnm to the loek-up. When on his way to the lock-up, I asked him how he was going to account for where he had been on Monday night? He said that was easily | done. I then said--¢ See here wnat time did you leave the Parliament Buildings on Monday night 2 He said he had left a little whiie before the house adjourned. [ said, ¢ You left it when the house adjourned in the neighborhood of a quarter after 2 oclock.' He replied it was ouly 10 minutes after 2 when I was at the Russell House. I then added--s+ It is all right if you can manage that' I believe the bullet produced mn Court to be one of the cartridge bullets used in Smith and Wesson's revolver. That is the bullet I received from the Coroner. I com- pared 1: with those in the prisoner's tin box, and and also with those in the revolver it exactly corresponds to those in the cy lin- der of the revolver I found that there were cartri fges of this description for sale in the city at Thomas lsaac's ; those for sale here are for this same sort of revolver, but for those four or tive sizes smaller. found some clothing in prsoner's trunk ; the prisoner when arrested had on a pair of hight colored trowsers, answering to the descuption given by Graham. | found the pair of spurs produced in one of the boxes claimed by prisoner; also a sash and badges which he wore on St Pattick's day ; also a card ot St Patrick's Benevolent So- ciety, a ticket ot membership with Jane Whelan written on the back, dated 1867; it contains a list of dues, &c. ; there is an en- try on 26th Decernber last, fine of 40 cents for not giving notice of change of residence ; it does not appear to be an Ouawa card ; also, entry in June, 40 cents for monthly dues, sighed D.

The idea is that a ring of Fenians %us formed here for the purpose of Mr Me- (Gee's assassination, pirties here being the mere pnppets of others in the United States pulling the wires. It will be difficult for Patrick Buckley to clear himse!l unless he an explain away the evidence given by Graham at the Police Court this morning. It is to be hoped he can, for he 18 a general favorite hers. The object of the Govern- ment is probably not so much to hang this or that wretch as to strangle and erush out Fenianigm in this Province. From all that can be learned here, the idea expressed by the Globe of yesterday, that the death of Mr. McGes will be a death-blow to Fenianism, will prove correct. The large reward of- fered by the Government, no doubt will a= duce some of the guilty parties to turn Queen's evidence. I learn that some have already intimated a wish to do so. . GREAT VIGILANCE--ALL POINTS GUARDED. Telegrams are constantly pouring in to the Government from all parts of the Pro- vince, showing how deeply the public wind has been moved. Great vigilance is being exercised, a cordon of detectives has been thrown aloug the whole frontier, and every point is guarded. FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS. Whelan, itis alleged, was at the Chicago Convention of Fenians. He can be traced to Hamilton at the time of the Ridgeway affair, when he boasted that he was a Fe- man. Dovle, his alleged accomplice, is a man nearly six feet in height fair comple ion, with a pierciog black eye. He was a coldier in the Crimea, and was wounded in one of the engagements, and has the bullet yet in his breast, which prevents him from working at his trade. It is a fact and one which will be given in evidence, that he actually saw Whelan coming along Sparks st. in the direction from the place where the murder of Mr." McGee was effected. The strangest part of the whole affair 1s that Doyle says he saw Whelan after 1wo o'clock standing au the corner of the Russell House, and that Whelan bid him good might and went home ; while it is a fact that Whelan crossed over from the north side of Spaiks street to the Russell Hotel, and spoke to him, when Doyle told him he had just heard that Mr. McGee was shot, and that Whelan said ¢ Good night, I am going home,' and proceeded in a contrary direction, across the Sappers bridge. That Whelan was seen at the door of the entrance of "he Par- liament buildings a moment before Mr. McGee passed out on hie way ta his lodg- ings, looking anxiously m the direction of the lobby, where Mr. McGee. was supposed to be, will be established ir, evidence. This, coupled with the fact of his repeated ex- pressions of hostility to Mr. McGee, and the fact of his croaching attitade at the main entrance to the Parliament house, ap- parently watching for Mr. MoGee, his pre- senting tickets four umes to the gallery of the Commons, the first time being while Mr. McGee was speaking, has a very sos- isious lovk, which is much strengthened y the evidence given by O'Neil to-day. nt A -- se.
