LINDSAY. immy The Evndence Before theCoi'oner’s Jury Points Very Stongly to Foul Play, as the Cause. The inquest a» to the cause of the death of Daniel ‘ ampbell. the Lindsay man, who it is said met his death through foul play, at. Georgetown is still in progress The following despatches give the evidence taken before the coroner:â€" GEORGETOWN. Jan. iiiâ€"Not for many years has such intense interest been din- played in any court proceedings by the people of this town and vicinity as was this afternoon at the opening of the adjourned inquest of the now famous Campbell case. Long before 2.30 p.m.‘. the appointed hour for the opening of the inquest, the hall was literally packed, and the town constable had great difficulty in making room for thejurgis. . “â€"n â€"'V--â€" â€" The first witness was Dr. Anderson. of Hamilton, who said that on the night of the 29th of December he was called out to see the deceased at 25 Flight street, Ham- ilton. He found the deceased in a very high fever. His face was in a terribly battered condition, which deceased said wascaused by helm: thrown out of a buggy in Georgetown. Calling next day, Dr. Anderson said the deceased shovn-d symptoms of rheumatic fever. He became delirous towards night, and remained in about the same condition till his death on January 3rd. Dr. Frothinghmn. of Toronto, was the next witness sworn. He said he had assisted in the postmortem held on the body of Daniel Campbell, which showed every Sign of rough handling; a bruise at the base of the skull and a shattered elbow Were the most important. The internal organs of the deceaeed wore in a healthy condition. Dr. Frothingham thought the deceased had died from blood poison- ing caused by the wounds received before his death. - ‘-v- ---... mDr. Roe corroborated Dr. Frothingham' s evidence In every respect. .... ‘. n .3 “They threatened rto kill him," said Duncan Campbell, a brother of the deceased, “and undoubtedly would have accomplished their fiendish purpose then and there had not the deceased sought refuge in the house of Mrs. N. Brown, who dressed his wounis‘ and put him to bed." \Vhen asked, Duncan Campbell said he did not know who his brother‘s assailants were, but they were many. Elizabeth Campbell,wife of the deceased‘s brother, said she was in Mrs. Brown’s house when the deceased rushed in. She heard threatening and shouting outside. She locked the doors. and put the deceased, who was bleedingr freely, to bed. Next day he went down town and did not return. The witness went to loot. for him, and found him in the Clark house, Where he was stretched acroas a bed. moaning with pain. She tried to persuade him to :10 home with her, but to no effect. She then went for the deceased's sister, and they succeeded in getting him to Mrs. Brown's house. The following day he went to Hamilton with his brother Dun- can. Deceased suffered greatly on the journev. He went to bed innnediatelv on his arrival, and during.,r his illness raved continually about his assailants, who, he said Were. trying: to murder him. 1“ "timer S§itlfifiiand then adjourned the inquest, um i1 Monday 89 a._ m. There are from 30 to 40 witncsqes to be heard. and rumors are afloat in town to- night that Widence of a most startling nature will be brought to bear on the cage on Monday. such that will throw an ungxpccted light 0391‘ the yhole affair; GI-zoaomowx, ONT., Jan. 29. The' Campbell case was resumed this morning before Coroner Sutherland and Crown Attorney Matheson. Some thirty wit- nesses were heru'd. all the evidence being of a most contradictory nature, but three or four young men. seem to be deeply implicated in the affair. It is reported that two witnesses have been held on the change of perjury. When the first witness was sworn the Town Hall was well filled. The people throughout the country are taking a deep interestin the case. Walter Campbell. brother of deceased, appeared in court with cuts on his face and a bandage over his eye, the results of the Christmas eve set-to. When sworn he gave full particulars of the fight. His brother, deceased, was struck a stunning blow on the face. knocked down and trampled upon by the crowd, who then ‘threw them both bodily out of the bar-l room. They rushed up to the house of3 Mrs. N. Brown. sister of the deceased,‘ followed by a threatening crowd, shouting “Take him in or we “ill kill him ' Witness recognized three young men who seemed to be leaders of the mot) Several other witnesses were called whom Crown Attorney Matheson had great. difficulty in getting to state anything about the fight. All the evidence taken oes to show that Daniel Campbell un- oubtedly met with foul play on Christâ€" mas eve. All the witnesses have. not been heard vet, and the case cannot go to the jury two-night. Constable Bradley was very much annoyed at the course the evidence took. and unless the remaining witnesses tell straight stories, other evidence will be secured, and something startling may be looked for. DANIEL CAMPBELL’S DEATH. Trew Again on Top. Mr. D. C. 'l'rew, our local poultry own was among the exhibitors at the Port Hope poultry show on the 23rd, 24th. 25th, and 26th. This show was “'in patronized. there being no less than 1000 entries and was considered to he one of‘ the best local Bhuwl ever held in the province. Mr. Tuew was, as usual highly successful winning no less than five tinsts, four seconds and two third premiums. Scoring as high as 96% and in no ease less than 9011: points. In Houdans he won let in Cock; lat. 2nd and 3rd in cockerel lst white leghom cockervl; 2nd white leghorn cock; 2nd in Plymouth Rock cockerel; lat and 3rd in Huudan hens. lst and 2nd in Houdan pullets. sThe judge Was Mr. Sharpe Butterhald } who officiated in the same capacity at the World’s Fair and he declared the Port Hope exhibit to be equal in quality to the big show. Mr. Trew was well pleased with the arrangements and has nothing but praise for the management. Exhibit» on were present from Toronto. Kingston. Galt. Whitby, Hamilton, Watford, Bow~ manville and other places and to carry off such a lot of prizes in such company certainly proves that Mr. Trew’s birds are “of the finest.” LINDSAY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY Ist, BRITISH OFFICERS SNIIBBED.
