The murderer entered and attacked her. James Spanhouse and the servant,“ Miss Grace Christian, who were sleep- ing upstairs, were amused. The girl, crazed with fear, locked herself in her room, but the man ran down- stairs intc the parlor, grabbing an old military rifle on his way. As he entered the parlor it was wrested from him and the stock partly broken off and Stewart smashed his head in- to a pulp with the heavy wood stake. The old people were also battered by the stake. He was seen to go into his father’s house, and here Constables Thompson and Wattam of Shelburne found him sleeping peacefully about 2 o’clock yesterday sffoernogn, when . they ‘ vent ed to Taylor to throw up his hands.

Mr. Hogg called the son and other rela- tives together and pointed out to them that he was in no way to blame for the accident, that it had been caused by the horse being turned so sharply about as to throw the buggy over, which was no fault of his, but that he felt great sympathy for all parties concerned, and that he _would The knowing review of the case against Mr. A. O. Hogg, of Oakwood, is furnished the Free Press by {one who is acquainted with the ‘facts:.â€" 0n the twelfth September, 1907, Mr. A. O. Hogg and Mr. Wells, the firm’s buyer at Sunderland, were out with the auto ‘buying seed. The auto, which is a smart runabout, resembling somewhat an ordinary carriage, has a seven horse power engine, its great- est possible speed under most favor- able conditions being eighteen miles per hour. Its usual greatest speed being twelve or thirteen miles per hour. On this occasion the roads were muddy and the machine was travelling up grade on low gear at about three miles per hour when it turned west upon the town line bet- ween the townships of Scott and Geor- gina still travelling up grade at the same speed. At the. t0p of the grade, Mr. Hogg saw a horse and buggy with a woman and a young girl ap- proaching them. He told Mr. Welsh to keep his eye on them and when the vehicles were about seventy-five yards 'apart the horse which had been coming quietly along was turned off the road toward the fence, supposedly to let the auto pass, but as the rig neared the fence the horse was pulled with the lines sharply to the right, being then about fifty yards away. Mr. Welsh jumped out and ran to their assistance, but as the horse COD'. tinued still to cramp the buggy very sharply to the right Mr. Hogg stopped the machine which was then about twenty-five yards away and ran to their assistance. The horse continued to circle to the right until he was fac- ing east again. when the buggy wheel was shoved up against the side of a rock and the buggy went over, bottom up, the woman falling underneath. man removed to a house a. short dis- tance away, and everything that could possibly be done was done, but she died before five o’cldck. The accident occured about twelve noon. The girl had jumped out a. moment before. The woman’s head struck a large rock. The horse was not excited at any time. The occupants of the buggy did not at any time hold up a hand or give any signal to the occu- pants of the auto to stop.
