Chernetzky were in jail, the former charged with mur: der and implicated in a confession signed by the latter, his companion, the night Marshall was killed. It is believed Rev. Mr. Lindsay was influenced to some extent in his remarks by the fact that this week William Neilson, an aged resident of Ottawa, was committed to an insane asylum «when it was found he was mentally incapable of standino trial for the murder of 'Mrs. Olga James: a member of Mr. Lindsay's congrega- tion for some years.
