Tlllll 0T Kllllllllll New Line 0f Evidence at the Adjourned Inquest. Hamilton, March 19.â€"â€"To-night when the Coroner opened his court every available nook was occupied, even the~ platform on which the presiding officers’ chair was placed, and which had on other occasions been scrupulously kept clear, be- ing crammed. The body of the hall was a mass of humanity, crowded as closely together as possible. The evidence which was submit- ted can be roughly divided into three sections. The first dealt en- tirely with the movements of the Kinrade girls and others; the sec- ond told of the presence in the neighborhood on the‘ fatal day of a man whose movements were re- garded as being suspicious by some witnesses, and not unnatural by others; while the third and last section was the evidence of the doc- tors with regard to the result o I their post-mortem examination. ON BEHALF OF FAMILY. It is of interest to note that the] witnesses of the first and second class were called, so Crown Attor- ney Waishington stated in an aside to the jury, at the request of Mr. G. Lynch-Staunton, K. C., who for the first time appeared in the inter- ests of the family, and was associ- ated with Mr. Thomas Hobson. In the first place, it would seem that Mrs. Kinrade was on the street before 3.25 and‘ after 3 o’clock, while Mrs. Clara Rudd, a neighbor, | swore that she saw Ethel Kinrade} in Herkinier street at 3 o’clock. In! this she was supported by Charles’ Hossack, but there was a curious discrepancy between the witnesses. Mrs. Rudd stated that the girl was attired in a blue costume; Hossack was positive that the color of her dress was brown. Mrs. Rudd, how- ever, has the advantage of being. a woman, and the accuracy of thei feminine sex for details of costume‘ is a thing which no man can ever attain. There was, however, a re- markable expression of feeling in‘ the court room as these details came forth. It was an expression to be felt rather than heard, and as if the eager auditors were of‘ the opinion that at least some slighti addition had been made to the slen- der array of facts of an absolute‘ character which are in the hands of the Crown. i TIIE BAN K STATEMENT.

THE STRANGE MAN SEEN. Then came a series of witnesses who gave evidence as to seeing a strange man in the neighborhood cf the Kinrade house at a time which has so far been accepted as that at which the shooting took place. The most important of these was Mrs. King, who told that she saw a man running from an alley from which the Kinrade house could be approached. She was struck by what she termed his frightened looks, and watched him go to a neighbor’s house, Mrs. Taylorts, knock, try the door, and remain there some niinutes without get- ting a reply, and in the meantime throw anxious glances around. She saw‘ him put his hand in his pocket several times, apparently take something out, and stoOp over a box of rags. She spoke to Mrs. Taylor, who told that she had also seen the man, but had been too frightened to open the door. Mrs. Taylor was called, but was not in attendance, and will give her evi- dence later. THE MAN DESCRIBED; A Mrs. Sarah Willis also .saw a man run along the alley past her fence, but attached no suspicion to the circumstance, while a third neighbor, Mrs. Cassels, thought it was just a man delivering goods, running from his delivery waggon. On one point they were agreed. The man wore a peak cap and a short, medium dark jacket. One also said he was very fair. THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE. Passing on to the medical evi- dence, it may be accepted as proved by Dr. Edgar, who, with the as- sistance of Dr. Balfe, made the autopsy, that Ethel Kinrade lived for ten or fifteen minutes after the wounds in the head were inflicted. She was actually killed by a bul- ilet of 2 calibre through the heart. There were seven shots fired, which took effect, one only making both wounds in the scalp. The inquiry was abruptly ad- journed, for lack of further wit- nesses, until April 22nd, Mr. Black- stock saylng that a lengthy post- necessary, indicat~ mg apparently that witnesses are to be brought from a distance. EMBARG O RAISED . Cattle From Michigan May Now P Enter Canada. A despatch from Ottawa says: The embargo against cattle from the State of Michigan has been raised by order in Council. It is live stock from New York, New Jersey, The relaxation so far as has been stamped out in that and the raising of the embar- gc will facilitate the movement of export cattle, many of which go from Chicago across the Niagara Peninsula for shipment from New York or Portland. ‘ >1‘ IMMIGRATION nor so LARGE. a Falling Off This Year as Compared with Last.

A despatch from Montreal says: Mark Cunningham, the engineer oi the Boston train, which on Wed- nesday crash-ed through the wall of the ladies’ waiting room of the C. PR. Windsor street depot, and tore its way into the cneral wait- ing room, wrecking a arge portion oi the station, died at the General Hospital on Thursday morning at 7.45, making the fifth victim of the accident. The fireman, Louis Craig, and the other victims, were report- ed to be making good progress, with the exception 0i‘ John Kozhar, a Russian immigrant, who is suf- fering from a fracture of the skull, and who is still in a critical condi- » tion. ‘ The work of clearing up the de~ bris in the Windsor station is pro~ l \cecding but slowly. The greater part of the fallen masonry had been removed, but the wreck of the en-’ gine is lying just as it was. It 1s the intention of the engineers in charge of the work to lay temporary tracks on which to run the wreck- ed locomotive out after shoving up the girders from below. This will take three or four days. It is a ticklish job. The masons started rebuilding the broken wall on Thursday afternoon. The part oi the station which was damaged has been boarded off to keep out the curious public. ._v‘__.-â€"’-. BLOWN riion onus. Daily Executions of Prisoners in Afghanistan.
