Very few rsons can found who had any coiive'ersation Allison 8100? the tragedy. and it is Im- DOSSIble to tell whether he has stuck to the same story throughout. As far us can be learned he has not altered the story he told on the day of the tragedy, unless Detective Murray succeeded in shaking him in the sweat box to-day. “hcther Allison actually committed thc dood himself or not, the general im- rrcssxon is that he knows a good deal more about .it than he has told. The fil’Elllnl: of his gun hidden in the barn, his thorough acquaintance with every spot on tho farm and his manner of in- forming Orr that his wife “had gone,” are referred to as suspicious facts. It was rumored that both he and Trevelyun wore to be reloascd, but Trcvclyan's dis- charge and Allison's dotcntion show that the authorities look upon the be»;- as anamportant factor in the solu- tion of this mystory. He is only 17 years of age. but is strong and well built. .110 had raked up the chips around the kitchen door. and when asked why he did so he replied that Mrs. Orr had ordered him to do it. Detective Murray says that an at- tcmpt had been nizldo to wash the blood off the red oak stick. He thinks the st:ck was washed in the trough near the house and it was not burnt-d because tho murderer had not tiillo enough to chop it up and put it in the fire. To- night the lboory that Allison did the dLOIl is gaining: ground.

Mlliiumu limllly slaloil that he saw blair ili'lvmg towards the Orr farm at 8.3 llltlt iizoriiiiig. The importance of Blair's slalolnont of his movcmclits is then:- i'oro obvious. At the timc Roddy c.ailns to havo sm-n him driving towards the Orr farm Blair says he was in Galt dc- l:vcring ion for his son. Blairc's state- ll.ont that he left for Urr‘s about 10.40 is corroborated by John Gerryan, an i'lllvployc of Blair‘s, who says he met. him ollllos‘llc Dr. Mclicudr'ick‘s residence fumilblUJLU.

' A t‘oiituro iii the case that is interest- ing and that may mean a great doal is that on Monday morning Mrs. Orr tUIil llt‘l' husband that ho had bottcr not go away that morning, to stay at home and cut tlio oats. Ho replied that there was a hoary dew on them and he thought llo could got back in a few hours and cut than thou.

Slio hail boon vory badly frightened a low nights b-fore by sonlo man who had jlliiipod out of tho willows while sho was driving in tho lano at a point whoro the supposed grave was discover- oil. Who was the man who jumped out and frightcned her? Was it Robert Stokor. \vliosc name is connected with tho third theory? Allison's father says that his son identificd Stoker as the inninwhoni hc mot iii tlio lanc on the morning of the tragoly. Stoker is :1 carpontor by trado. bllt is frequently oiiiployod in difforcnt parts of the neigh- borhood as a farm laborer. He had at oiio tuno been employed by the Wal- lai-os. who livc near the Orr farm, and it is said that he had visited the Orr farm on scvoral occasions. Stoker’s homo is in Kirkwall. about 10 miles from hero. and “'illiam R. Bond, a resi- dcnt oi‘ Gut. says he met Stoker on the day of tho tragedy walking along the road, but whether it was near the Orr farm or not that he met him he cannot say, as he had driven both cast and West of Gait. Stoker is now working for a farmer near the town. It was he who “cut to the Orr farm after Mrs. Urr disappeared and ofi'ered his services as a «lotociivo. It is said that he remarked that he could find her in throc days. Stoker represented himself as a detcc~ tivc from Buffalo. It is impossible to get near Allison and hear what he has to say about socing Stoker or a man who looked like Stoker in the lane that morn- ing. 'l‘rcvclyan went through the strocts this afternoon a free man. but will be a witness at the trial. The case is :1 most interesting and perplexing one. bill it seems impossible that a solution will not bc found. The inquest will be resumed to morrow at 11 o‘clock. The letter from Harry Blair to Mrs. Orr. dated Juno 6. 1896. is in possession of tho authorities. and roads as follows: statement did not sequence I now drop you a few Iinos to let you know that I have not been ilslocp me last time while I have been out at your house.

Galt, Aug. 18.-â€"I‘rosp'.cts of solving the murder of Emma Orr arc brightening cvcry hour. In fact. Llclcctivc Murray is now wcaring the smiling faco of ll loan who has nullified his 1).llp.|>c. Sua- pzcioli is now ccntoroa cutircly upon James Allison. Inc blrod boy. and that the Crown authorities 'iro working to- nal‘ds him was cit-arly shown by the cl'idoncc given at tho inquest to-day. Whilo yostorday threc theories _ were seriously considered. toâ€"day there is but cnc theory, and that is that Jumps Al- lison killed Emma Urr and that it was a lust murder. The boy's full name 18 James Alfrcd Allison. lie was born within two milcs of Glen Morris on; May 20. 1330. and is consequently Ii years and 3 months old. Ills fathers name is Aloxandcr Allison. He was born in Il‘rccport 42 yours ago.‘I'lls mother's maiden liamo was Anmc blunt- botli Illlnco. Her mothor is dead and her father. a respectable old man, is still living in Gait. 'lhcrc are four othcr children. Jami-s .bei'ig the eldest. 'l‘lioy live . in‘ a franio house on the banks of the nycl'. a short distance from Main-street. The father is a carter and James worked with him until he got tho job at 0113 in March last. This is the first time he ever worked out. His younger sister Maggie worked at Mrs. Orr‘s'for a [cw Allisous mother weeks this summer. says that James was a good boy; that she never had much trouble with him. and that both Anthony Orr and Mrs. Orr said that ho was the best my Ellslt over workod for them. He went to school very Iittlc and his mother says he can neither read nor write. She says he can make some marks that look hit}: his signature. Every eye was on Alli- sou wlion Chief Ahcarn brought_ hinl into tho court room toâ€"day. but this did not seem to disturb tho boy in the least. Ho glillicod about. sat down and was about tho most unconcerned person in the room. ”is head and face are a study. His low, retreating forehead and close-set eyes tell of a low intellect and annual cunning. Heavy jaws, large mouth and thick lips indicate determma- Lion and sensuality. He had only been in the hands of the police once before and that was when he was 7 yeats'of ago and had a penchant for pears. dc took a few that did not belong to him. but was let off by the magistrate. His {:ltllt'l' says he would get a little ugly Vl'll(‘ll he licked him and that u scolding always did him more good than it licking. The most startling evidence at the ioqucst toâ€"day was Anthony Orr's statement of how he shadowed Allison and overheard him' talking to himself down in the field. and cxclaiming: “Oh. my! Oh, my!" as though in great mental agony. The Crown’s theory is that be dug the grave in the swamp on Tuesday morning. when he went for the cows. and came back half an hour after the cattle arrived at the barn. It is thong-ht that he hid the spade in the swamp the day before. Premising that â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"/ Guticara- nest tomorrow will be very im- p0 showmg when Allison arrived at his place. how long he stayed. his dc- mmnor and when he left. The Crown authorities seem to favor the then?“ that he 'nlllNl the woman before he left for Panic”. At 1m: mount. “a“, on ‘I'elh 'Iow Tom Allison Aeu-d When the Body Wu Fond. Gait, 0nt.. Aug. 18.â€"(Spccinl.)-The inquest on the body of Mrs. Anthony Orr was resumed in the Council cham- ber at the Town Hall before Coroner Radford at 1 o‘clock this afternoon. The prisoner was taken to his home across the rivet; before the inquest opened and allowed to put on his Sunday-goâ€"to-mcet- lug clothes.

John Orr. brother of Anthony, was the first witness. He lives on the farm next to_ Anthony. He last saw Mrs. Orr alive on Sunday afternoon. the day be- fore thc tragedy. He found the dead body in the corn glen. His attention was first cullcd to c spot by fresh earth thrown up on either side. He called Douglas Lillico's attention to it, and Se‘f‘l'lll persons in the house came out. He Simply took out one spadcful, whcn he saw part of the dead woman's dress.
