Although John Kearney has ofl’ere no explanation to this inquest as to how he came by this watch, he has eta to the constables that he traded for i with an Indian at McConnell‘s corner and gave one dollar boot.

I will delay you a minute ion er in order to present to you a list oi the ates oi the events happening in the neighborhood of the Agnews on t at fatal evening.

He was flr ng 03 his pistol (two shots) at Sadler's corner at 9.20 b his own watch. John Elliot heard a s ngle shot fired in the direction oi A ew's at about 9.45, or 25 minutes after Jo n Kear- ney’s shots had been fired on the street corner at Sadler's. This would afford about the necessary time for John Kearney to get to Agnew's. inspect the yard. and await the coming out of Mr. Agnew. the time of which was stated by Mrs. Agnew John Elliott had gone to bed he states. at 10.25, and at 10 30 he heard what he called ”l: racket 3‘1: the important case.

Anxiour to hear the truth of this surprls- ing report, our reporter waited on Mrs. Freeman at the earliest opportunity. From her he received a full account of her painful illness and remarkable re- covery. In January of 1880, Mrs. Free- man, who was then living in Foxbury, Mass" was severly attacked by la grippe. She had partly recovered when a relapse followed, and while reooverimr from its effects. she was seized with acute rheuma- tism and neuralgia. The combined sick- ness resulted in completely breaking down her constitution. Upon recoverirg from neuralgia, sl‘e one day noticed a little p'mple on her left ankle which became exceedingly painful. It grew rapidly, soon becoming as big as a gold dollar and breaking intoa running sore. Others immediately followed, and soon the whole body was covered. the limbs becoming terribly swollen. The most eminent physicians of Boston were ap- pealed to, but beyond telling her that the ailment was due to a completely run- down system, they rendered her no assistance. la the spring of 1894. she came to Nova Scotia, hoping that a change of climate would effect a cure, but to no purpose. Bone ulcers, greatly ex- ceeding the in painfulness the sores that fint eppeered; mmifeebed themelvel. She soon lost the use of her limbo, be- come unable to feed herself, snd wee compelled to be csrried to end from bed ‘ Her eyes became week, and she was thus } denied the pleuure of reading. After my remedies had been tried sud proved useless, Dr. William Pink Pills were finslly sppesled to. Scsrcely six boxes had been consumed when the ulcers showed symptom of hesling, the sppe- site grew better end her gsnersl hsslth grestly improved. Since thst time her condition hss stesdily improved, end her health is now fer better then it wss previous to her illness. Ssve s slight stiffness of the limbs, she shows no signs of the terrible scourge she hes psssed through. Mrs. Freemsn is no: unmind- ful ct the great obligstion she is under to this remarksble medicine. sud she is snxious thst the wonderful cure which it has efl'ected should be generally known.
