All was carried out as the law required, but one astonishing feature happened in the meanwhile which was hardly in accordance with expectations. The man who committed the awful erime was dead. The jury were to ascertaiy the cause of his death and, of course, had to view the remains. This they dit' Saturday night, but between that time and the hour their verdict was returned it. became known that Joyce's body had been taken away.

The inquest was held in a barn or rather in a drivehouse and the surroundings are well worth the description. The "Gutbuilding was typical of the modern well-to-do farm house in this district. The two large double doors 'at the entrance were wide open. The one large swing door at the opposite side of the drive house was closed. With his back toward the latter and facing the open doors through which wero visible : the. beau tiful blue sky and green foliage, typi- cal of a May afternoon, sat Ugroner Mundell. Two milk cans for uprights and an old red colored door Support: ed thereon, served as a desk in: this improvised court of justice. In front to the right and left of the presiding officer. were long hoards stretched bo tween chairs, Thereon were seated the. The Home of the Woods'. conveyed from. the gathering. The constable, a South African veteran, called the court t; order and the tak- ing of evidence was proceeded with. Hearing Witnesses. William McAuley, a farmer living at Railton and in whose employ Joyce had been, previous to his unhappy ending, and 'on 'whose farm the cabin, formerly occupied by Joyce and hia wife, is situated, was the first wit- ness. He told. the follow- ing story: "On Friday evening as I was coming home 1 saw Joyce coming toward town on the Loughboro road. He came to the house a few minutes past seven with a rifle. I asked him if he was going to shoot foxes and he said he didn't know. 'He said his wife Jeft him and two men assisted her away. He said all he wanted was to get his eyes on her. 1 advised him not to do any- thing rash. He said all he wanted to do was to get his eves on her. I went as far as the corner with him. He said, nothing on the way, I asked him if he was going back to the house and he answered me 'After a while.' 1 saw him no more and I knew nothing more of the tragedy till noon." The Only Outbuilding on the Grounds. Question.-- "Did he work for you ?"' "Not lately, but had for about one and one-half years steady. He was living in a house oh my darm."' "Was his wife living with him ?' "Until Friday afternoon." "Had their life been peaceful 2 "Apparently lately. His wife left hip, after he had been married about a month.

Q. (from juror) "Could you say whete he got the rifle?' | "I was told he got it from Joseph Dougherty ?" ---- The Sister's Testimony. Annic May Wood was then called. She is a fair complexioned maid, of rather pleasing appearance, attired in a plaid calico dress, green jacket, and small plain, black felt hat. She car- ried a handkerchief in her hand. Her recital of the crime was thus: "John Joyce came ta my father-in-law's and asked his: wife to go back. She said she would not ro near him nor the ¢ house. He st around in the house talking. He wanted her to go out- sile as he had a few words to say. He did not appear angry. She would not and said whatever he had to say to say it before the rest of us. He said all right. He then went around the house and across the fields and about ten minutes later I went to the bedroom window and looked out. 1 saw him at' the fence with a rifle. I came out and told the rest of them, Mr. Wood went out in front of the house and we fastens] the house up. We would look out and then step back as we were afraid he would shoot. He stood talking tat Mr. Wood and ask- ed him why his wife wouldn't come back and Mr. Wood said because he had choked her. With that he shot Mr. Wood once and then he loaded up anl shot him again. Joyce and Wood wefe only a few fect apart when the shooting ocourred. Wood had no knife and did not make any attack on Joyce." Shown the razor witness had never seen it before, Con- tinuing witness said : "After he shot Wood, Joyee™ broke into the door and: also came. through the bedroom door. His wife said: 'For God's sake Jack, don't shoot me.' He said he would. She came out near the stove and he shot her. 5I was right behind. ! He said nothing Hut ran out" through the back door. I stayed! a few min- utes and then brought the children over to Briens. eX hen a few feet from the house I the grass near house." Q.--*" "What Hime' had your brothers- in-law left ?*' A.- "Noah Wood left about five minutes to six, atid k Angus Wood, my brother, left aban They were go- ing 'across the fields § when Joyce was coming.

Never saw 'the rifle before Joyce brought it to the house," Eli Smith, laborer, swore: "I did not hear of the tragedy till three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Was : at Frank Keeley's at the time it hap- } pened, having been there all Friday night. Never saw the razor. Joyce had told persons that if ever he saw me after dark he would lay me out. I do not know whether he meant it or not. The only reason for this was that Joyce's wife and me went to- gether a few times before the marriage and he was jealous." ' Smith had a marked impediment in his speech and was unable to sign his name to his evidence, ' Wever Saw Razor Before. William Smith was the next to tes- tify. 'He stuttered and was rather hasty in kissing the Bible, thus neces- sitating the coroner's repeating the oath a second time. He and the pre- ceding witness are uneles of the mur- dered woman. He knew little of the tragedy, as he was over at William Corey's on Saturday morning. Never saw the razor nor heard threats of any kind. Angus Wood, husband of Annic May, proved an intelligent witness, but kneW little of the case. He had not seen Joyce 'the morning of the tragedy and had not expected any trouble would result by his sister residing at his father's place, Joyce had been cruel to his wife. He had whipped her Friday morning because she wanted to go down to her father's. 'You must stay here and not go down and have anv truck with the dirty gang," said to her. She said she would, and hé cuffed her; then she left. Joyce had not been kind to his wife. Knew nothing of the shooting, as he was at Peters', two miles away, when he he heard 'of th o tragedy.' * Could' not tify the razor, but said . it 'was not his nor his father's, Like the former witness, he could not write. Dr. M. Tovell said when he first saw Joyce he was lying a little north-east of the housc on his face. One arm was under him, and the other at his side. "When I examined him 1 found a large wound in thé neck, made evi dently by a sharp instrument. About twenty feet away was a razor and nearby a large patch of blood on the grass. The wound in the throat was very extensive. It was doubtless made by the right hand and was very deep. Before he fell Joyce probably staggered a few feet toward the house. man could certainly cut his own throat in the manner this was done. Saw a knife lying near the door and blood on the step and on the Knife. This might be explained by the blood from the wound in Wood's arm run: ning down onto the knife." In answer to a juror. Some persons had been at the scene before the wit- ness arrived, and thrown a covering over the body. % Ernest Wood 'knew nothing of the death of Joyce as he was about two miles back of Moscow when it occur- fred. He had never seen the razor mor heard of threats against the members lof the family. He had to make a mark to his evidence, Noah Wood left home about five minutes to six on Saturday morning. Did not see Joyce that morning. Saw him Friday, but was not speaking. Never saw the razor before. The cross also had to be substituted for his sig- nature. This concluded the evidence. The coroner read. the deathbed declar- ations of Rose Joyce 'and of Cornelius Wood which has already appeared in the Whig, After reviewing the evidence and instructing the jury, the coroner bade the spectators step outside the building, going out himself, leaving the jurymen to come to a conclusion. It was only a short time before the verdict was ready and read: '"That John Joyce came to. his death from a wound in the throat inflicted by his own hand." It was a foregone conelusion that this would be the result and the fore- iman's words were received without comment by the listeners. A Second Inquest. Coroner Mundell quickly proceeded to | re-empanel the jury for the inquest on the remains of Mrs. Joyce. These I were. viewed and the same iv idence as jin the proceeding case sufficine, a ver- | dict t of death from a bullet from a rifle shot by John Joyce, her husband, was recorded. Thus the final chapter in the awful tragedy was enacted The farmers unhitched their and drove back homewards, er paid off the jury and returned to | town. In conclusion a word of praise regarding the manner in which Dy. Mundell conducted the enquiry would be in order. Some of the spectators {apparently thought horses the coron- they would hear some breezy history regarding the Woods' family history unravelled. The dactor, however, without putting it in so many words, made it quite plain that only questions pertaining to the manner in which John Joyce reached his death should be asked. This suffic- ed, and the inquest passed off in a manner reflecting much credit upon the work of the coroner. HONORS FOR THE R.M.C. Its Graduates Are Being Put in High Places. Honor 'has just been bestowed upon another graduate of the Royal Mili j tary College, Kingston. This is in the appointment of Capt. and Brevet Lieut.-Col. W. C. Gifiard Heneker, 1).

The last attempt the penitentiary has called attention to a strange fact, that 'while the dormitory cells are guarded by heavy stone walls and steel bars in front the back is but a flimsy wall of a brick and a half thick. In prison parlance, they are Queen Anne in style in front and v Mary Ann at the back. These bric walls line . » passage way, floored with cement, and a man-hole to get from an 'upper floor to a lower one was left open, The convict must have known this en- couraging dircumstance, but an iron grating will soon, no doubt, be in- troduced into the opening. to discour- at escape from age imitators.

The Trustee Board Will Not Have Control of Biological Building --Government Grant Was for Medical Education. A settlement of some differences that existed between local "representatives of Quédn's University trustees and the metlical faculty has heen artanged, the former being obliged to "capitu- late," as it were. The differences arpse over the grant of $50,000 by the Ontario foglsluture 4 'to Queen's medi- cal faculty for the purpose of medical education." The trustee board repre- sentatives wanted to control the ox penditure of the grant and plan Wht the building should contain. The medical faculty, however, were hound to maintain their rights, in view of the fact that the grant was made di- rect to them for the purposes of medi- cal education, and had heen secured maialy through the cfforts of Dr. J. C. Connéll (the dean) and Dr. Ryan. Dean Connell, in fact, inaugurated the movement for the grant, when the On- tario legislature last year decided t., vote such a large sum to the Toront. General Hospital for the benefit of medical education in the west. The medical faculty had vivid re- membrance of the unfair treatment ac corded the medical collége in years past by the trustee board, in the way of using medical bequests for the uni- versity as ® whole, and of grabbing certain fees which "should have been the possession of the medical school, Right up to the present time, the medical faculty has maintained that it should have received more gener- ous fmaneial treatment at the hands of the university trustees. So, when a grant of $50,000 was méde for medical education, the facul- ty was firm in its resolve to spend Yhat money for the purpose for which it was voted, "and for none other. What medical education at Queen's most needed was a biological building, and to erect and equip such a build- ing, the medical faculty decided that i the £50,000 would be spent, and that | they would do the spending. It is un- | derstood that the university author- | ities had counted upon having the de- | partment of botany in the new build: ing, but as botany does not constitute a vart of medical education, the niedi- cal faculty was: determined that there should be no botany in the biological institution. The trustee representatives pointed out that the medical faculty was not a corporation and could not hold pro perty, but that did not worry the medical faculty, which intimated that the trustee board could own the building when it was erected, but that they would not run it. So, the university | had to concede. come the representatives The building will be- property of the trustee make all appointments. WHAT MAY HAPPEN To Secure the Early Closing of Pool Rooms. The movement to have the pool rooms placed under 'the same closing regulations as the liquor shops meets with much favor. The youths who frequent the pool rooms are in quite a few cases, under the age regulation. The police, however, claim that it is almost impossible to absolutely de termine this, as when the young lads are caught they assert they are old enough and the constables are in no position to disprove the assertion. The proposal is to have all pool es- tablishments under rigid requireme nt to close up on Saturdays at 7 p.m., and other nights of the week at eleven o'clock. However, as the licenses for the ensuing year: have been granted, no definite step toward a new regula tion can be made until 'ust previous to the granting of the licenses for next vear. Acted Honorably. A young man 'arrived on Sunday from England, under cngagement to work for a farmer on Wolie Island for 38 a month. Some persons were in dignant at the wages offered him and obtained him employment on a steam- er at $25 a month. But he refused the offer and stood honorably by his bar gain with the farmer.
