THE vAILY WHIG. WEDNESDAY THE WISKINS CHARGE UN- DER REVIEW. Messrs Wilson and Carscallen Were on the Stand -- What the Judges Had to Say About the Evidence Given. By the Whig's Reporter. Napanee, Nov. 26.--When court open- 'ed this morning in the Lennox election case, 200-odd witnesses filed into the spacious auditorium and took their places on the front benches. There was also a large attendance of interested spectators. Mr. Cassells, for respondent, put in further evidence in the Wiskins charge, by calling Uriah Wilson, M.P. Witness testified to having been with Carscallen at the Bath meeting. Wifk- ins approached Carfcallen and asked who was to pay for the hall; witness told Mr. Carscallen to pay Wiskins the usual fee of $1. Cross examined--Knew Wiskins for a long time, and knew him to be a staunch liberal. Knew Wiskins to have charge of Bath town hall. Knew that $1 had to be paid for use of the hall. Had talked over the Wiskins ai- fair wiih Mr. Carscalleii; both remem- bered the affair about alike. Witness admitted that the firm of which he was a member, Wilson & Bro., had given Carscallen $100, to help pay legitimate election expenses. Had also paid Carscallen another $100, which A. W. Carscallen had forwarded. These moneys were given for election purpos- Did not know that Carscallen had received 8500 from Toronto. Did not consider $700 a large campaign fund. "When Sir Richard Cartwright first ran in oe constituency it cost Lim 310,000." T. G. Carscallen, the candidate-elect, next gave evidence touching the Wis- kins: charge. He testified to having re- ceived {300 'from Toronto; of this 8250 was produced at examination for discovery. Had been to Bath about four times. First canvassed Wiskins in April, in presence of Murdoch. Wisk- ins said he could not afford to lose the constable's fee to go and vote for witness. «Aas accompanied by Mr. Wilson, when $1 was paid to Wiskins. Did not pay Wisk 81.50. The 8I paid Wiskins was included in the total personal expenses of SIl. Did not know: of a single dollar having been spent for corrupt purposes; did the best he could to have election con- ducted clean and pure. Cross examined--Have been in busi- ness in Napanee for thirty-live years, Sought the candidature on business grounds. Knew Wiskins for a long time and a liberal; did not know that he was an employee of Bath munici- pality. Canvassed Wiskins some time before the election; Wiskins said he would expect to be paid 81 if he went to vote for witness; told Wiskins he was not buying votes; Wiskins was the only man who had askéd witness for money during the campaign. At exam- ination for discovery did not recollect the Wiskins affair; matter was later called to his memory. Witness admitt- ed that if he said at examination he did not have any expense at Bath, it was untrue; was at Bath three or four times; expenses then were $3.50. Did not say at examination that he could not give particulars of how $11 expenses were made up. Did not keep any record 'of money spent during the campaign, Mr. Watson read from the evidence taken at examination for discovery, wherein Mr. Carscallen. had sworn that he had not spent any money at Bath. Witness would not say whether not that statement was true, but maintained that he had paid for the hall; the Wiskins affair had always béen in his mind. Mr. Watson read again from the evidente where witness had denied having paid for the hall, and said he did not know the caretak- er of the hall, but admitted to Mr. Watson that he knew Wiskins and knew him to be caretaker of the hall, the matter -- might "have slipped his mind at the time of the exammation for disegvery. Further examined by Mr. Watson, witnéss admitted receiving $200 from Uriah Wilson and A. W. Carscallen, but could not say what he had done with the money. Could not say. for what purpose Mr. Carscallen had giv- en him the $100. Did not make any acknowledgment of the money. Did not use the money during the election. Could not say- whether not the money would have been given him had he not been a candidate. Supposed the money was intended to be uscd for legitimate expenses. Would return the money to Wilson and Carscailen il they wanted it; intended making the 'money good to them. May have used the money for private purposes.

He considered it strange that Mr. Carscallen had not made some entry in his boeks of the receipt of the 8700, or as to what had come of the money In summing up the evidence, Mr, Watson maintained that the pavment of 81 to Wiskins was an improper ex- penditure, and in support of this con- tention. he pointed out that no ac- count had been madé of this monev the bill of expenses, Mr. Watson also pointed out that Mr. knew Wiskins to be a reformer. had canvassed him with a vi takine awav his vote from the reform Counsel pointed out discrepancy Wiskin' and that of Carscalls passing between Wiskins said he had been in three pieces iver; could not state the monev was paid: he conld onl sar that he had paid over 81.

NOVEMBER £6. NEWS OF WORLD TELEGRAMS FROM THE FOUR QUARTERS OF EARTH. Carscallen meet- "ing with Wisking, and had said he did not make any disbursements at Bath. 1% the face of this, Carscallen had now testified. that he had remembered | Wiskins and the giving to him of $1. Justice Maclennan thought that at the examination for discovery, Wis- kins' name should have been mention- ed, which fact might have served to | recall the man to Mr. Carscallen's me- mory. Mr. Watson held that at the exami- nation Wiskins' identity had been es- | tablished and re-established. - The res- pondent had sworn that he had known WisKins for a great many years. Cars- callen's evidence was so unreliable, the statements so contradictory, that it could not be accepted by the court. Wiskins' statement, that Carscallen had canvassed him for his vote when , paving him the $1.50, had not been contradicted or denied. Mr. Watson maintained that Nr. Carscallen's acts and words were not consistent with truth. It is not con- ceivable that he put the $200 given him to the use to which he had testi- fied it' had been put. Counsel submit- ted that the respondent had been guilty of bribery and that the court ought to find the case proven. Mr. Cassells, in his summary, drew attention to thé fact that Mr. Cars- callen had described the man to whom he had conversed in Bath as a thin man, whercas Wicking was a stout man. Later he had recalled Wiskens and gave an account of the $1 paia him. It was unfair to infer 'that Mr. Carscallen intended pocketing the | S200 received from A. W. Carscallen ana Uriah Wilson. Wiskens' evidence was to the effect that he did not im- pute bribery on the part of Mr. Cars- | n the last named paid him kens' evidence was strongly contradicted by hoth Mr. Wilson and Mr. Carscallen upon the point of pay- ment of the money. Counsel main- tained that it was an absurdity to assume that Mr. Carscallen had given Wiskens fifty cents to induce him to vote for respondent. Mr. Watson held that to all and purposes Wiskens had been made known to Carscallen upon the occa- sion of his examination; it was also! material that Carscallen had testified that he could not give an account of the money he had received. Wiskens' ! evidence to the - effect that he had been paid one dollar and fifty cents and haa been canvassed for his vote, had not been contradicted. It was an infringement of the statutes to have paid Wiskens the money. Their lc ips announced that they would render a verdict in the course of the day. ! Charge No. 31, to the effect that Samuel Smith had been paid for driv- ing a rig for Carscallen on election day was next taken up. Samuel Smith testified that on elec- tion day he drove a rig for Morley Wilson, taking voters to the polls for Carscallen. Got rig at Potter & Blanchard's livery. Two or three weeks after election day he was aid SI by Morley Wilson for his services. Had no other claim on Wilson for money. Cross-examinea- Was sonal services only. applied to: the rig. Mr. Watson "submitted the election accounts, which did not show pay- ment of § to Samuel Smith and held that the - charge was applicable t, clause six of the 'tion act re prom- ise {of money to voters for services, Samuel Smith was essentially a part of the rig he drove. Justice Maslennan was of opinion that it was unnecessary to stretch the statutes to vain a point. There was nothing in the act to prevent the payment of drivers of rigs, but it was illegal to hire ¢ or pay for them. It was the first time. Mr. Watson's point haa ever been brought to the notice of a judge. "All we have to say about this that the "charge is not proven,' said Justice Maclennan. covery, three wee s ago, Matters That Interest Everybody --Notes From all Over--Little of Everything Easily Read and Remembered by the Deaz Public.
