All were in the bar. Gostlin and NIcGillvary took beer. \1cGillvary grabbed Gostlin’ 5 beer when he was not looking and put [four or five dashes of liquid from a 'bottle taken from his vest pocket 1n- ito the beer. When I called out Mc- Gillvary said it was good enough for ‘Gostlin, Calling him a foul name. The glaSS of beer tasted very bad ‘and would strangle one. After Mc~ EzGillvary was caught they handed me i fthe bottle taken from McGillvary, ' land the\ bottle and glass smelled ggalike. McGillvary himself rang for ‘ Ithe police, saying he had been robb- 4'! 6 p. m. and 6.30 p. m. that. night. :1 knew what I was doing. I knew what Jos. Jaeque would hand me {back the right change and so did fnot count it. I always understood ELes McGilIivary was a good friend . of mine. It is only lately he lived in :my direction. He never sold horses, gcollect‘ed for me or kept money for me. I have never quarrelled with him and both of us have taken drinks ’together. He has never attempted to itake money from me» during the time :1 have khown him. ‘ From Wednesday’s Post. The McGilvray case came up before Judge McMillan this morning at ten o’clock in the court house. Mchl- vray pleaded not guilty to the charges of administering the drug, carbon bisulphide, with intent to rob or annoy. Jas. Gostlin was the first witness. On application of Mr. L. R. Knight, counsel for the defence,- all witnesses were excluded from the court during the case. Jas. Gostlin gave evidence as fol- lowszâ€"He is a horsed'ealer, .who has lived in Lindsay 25 years and has known accused 20 years. Sees him frequently and lives not far from him. He saw McGilvary in the bar room. of the Hotel Grand on March 4th and gave him a drink along with all hands. 'I took beer and drank part and set it on bar. Jas. Connelly came in from front of house and spoke to me, and I talked to him about buying a horse. There was a lot of noise. I turned around later and and found my beer gone, and Joe. Jacque says “See what they. have been trying to do to you." I had two or three hundred dollars on me in rolls of tens and fives. I} gave a ten dollar bill for the drinks. Before that MaGilvary had wanted me to go out and go home sev‘eral times. I said. “Leave me alone, I know what I am doing." He never tried to take me home before that way. although I have often been with him. I got the check a week before from the sale of a "tal- lion at Kinmount. . LES McGlLVARY ' REMANDED TODAY To Mr. Knightâ€"I spent treating and drinking during the week only part of the $300, as I had to pay $270 later and was providing for this. I was home before nine o'clock because Joe Connolly took me home. He drove me home. McGillivary wanted to walk‘me home. I don't remember seeing McGillivary~ between ed of his bottle. Constable John Short came in and took charge of the whole affair. To Mr. Knightâ€"Gamma, I do not think was dwnk. I do not serve peo- ple I think are drunk, although I get fooled sometimes. Here a passage at arms took place between the counsels. Mr. Knight said that Gostlin had admitted be- ing drunk, and therefore the Witness was liable to prosecution for serv- ing a drunk man. The court objected, saying it was aside from the case, and if council really believed it he should have laid an information be- fore} thertime limit. I never gave ~McGilvary any “stink- pot” (carbon-bisulphid-e) or had him return a bottle of it to me. I know nothing of carbon bisulphide. Mr. Wardrobe let McGillvary see some lotion I have for barber’s itch one day. (Witn'ess produced the bottle of lotion in proof.) I don’t remember sayingjzog McGillvary he had spoilt my glass. I know nothing of the na- ture of the stuff put in the glass. Wm. Graham. laborer, sworn said he was at the hotel in question shortly after eight o‘clock. I came in after ‘the treating. 'Gostlin was drinking. I did not see McGillivary drinking. I did not see any money, or Gostlin pay as I was.‘ not drinking at that time. When I came in I heard Jaoque say “My God. what are you trying to do to poor old Jim," and MCGillivary replied as ,Jacque stated in his evidence. McGillivary led Goet- lin into the yard. I .sxnelt bottle and glass, which smelt alike. I tasted the glass and there was a little in the glass after Jacque had thrown it out. The glass tasted sweetiSh. I spit it out and washed my mnuth out with liquor. I went and helped take the bottle of fluid away from McGillivary. McConnell helped. ] took the bottle from him, while Mc Connell had his arm around him. (Witness identified the bottle and smelled the liquid, which they said was the same. McGillivary threaten- ed to arrest me unless I gave him the bottle. He phoned the police. Gostiin and McGillvary had been friends for years, but the day b9 fore Gostlin had told him to keep away from him. They had been drink- ing beer for the most part. a drink, but I did not go up. I bought one drink myself that night. I was ten feet from the bar at the time in questiOn. Jim Connolly was in the bar at the time and called to Gostlin. I did ,not see McG-illivary put the stuff in the~glass. To Mr. Knightâ€"I don't know who treated that night. I was in the bar but. not at the counter. I heard Goat- lin saying for all to come and have Jos. Jacmle gave me a glaSS of liquor to Wash out my mouth. It was not water, but might have had some water in it. McGillivary led Gostlin out of the bar by the arm after the drinking by way of the wash room to the back door. Mr. G. H. Hopkins, K. 0., object- ed here, saying counsel for the de- fence was confusing the witness by reference to two separate occurren- ces. Witness stated he saw Gostlin with McGiIVary in the back, after he took the drink, but not after he (Graham) tasted the stuff. I came around from the wash r oom after seeing McGiIIVary and Gostlin there, and found them at the bar again and heard about the stuff m the glass. Witness got somewhat confused. J os. McConnell, the next witness, said he was on! of those who took the drink at Gostlin's invitation. McGillvary was between me and Gostlin. He identified the glass in court as the glass. I heard McGiINary want Gostlin to go hOme after the drink, and Watt'ers told him to keep away or he'd hit him a slap in the ear. I went out to the back door and came in again and J os. J vaue gave me the glass to smell and told me about McGillvary putting the stufi in the glass. I held McGillvary m the yard while Graham took the bor- tle away from him. Both glass and bottle smelt alike. To Mr. Knightâ€"I could not say for sure that this is the bottle and do not know whether it had a label or not. I did not hear the phase about the jalap. I didn’t 390 Me- Gillivary.put the stuff in the glass. I couldn't say I only took that one drink at the bar for sure. Constable John Short next took the stand. :I was out on the street, and McGillvary came to me and said I want you come up to Wardrobe’s. They have taken a bottle from me. I thought it was a bottle of whis- key, and thought he would be better without it. Then Jos. McConnell came and got me to go up,~ saying Mr. Wardrobe wanted me to investi- gate. I was surprised to find it was a small bottle like a mediC'me bot- tle. It immediately changed my idea of the case and they produced also the glass. Both glass and bottle had a similar smell: McGillivary1 saw me get the bottle and wanted me ,to give it to him, claiming it as his. I kept it and turned it in to the Chief of Police with a statement of the case. I am satisfied in my mind that the exhibits shown are the same bottle‘and tumbler I turned in to the Chief. To Mr. Knightâ€"I did not taste the bottle. McGillivary did not tell ine what the bottle contained. I thought they were quarrelling over a bottle of whiskey when McGilliva_ry came for me on the street. I did not think it necessary to arrest him THE LINDSAY roar . I got a letterirom Supt. Rogers. 311m. of Police, advising me to lay a charge under a section of the Sriminal Code. Dr. Rogers, chemist, in the employ 3f Provincial Analysts Department. He is instructor in chemistry in the Unixersity, Toronto, and also prac- tices. Inspector Greer brought the bottle, to me. I put, a little Water in the bottle with the carbon bi-sul- )hide for analytical purposes. Death may incur from taking less than half an ounce. A man will b:come stupified in about'half anlhour. It is possible for some persons to take two ounces before death follows. Halt of that bottle, which is a two ounce one, would likely kill a man. as all are around town all the time. [ have arreSted McGilliVarY at Val" ious times but not for 5 Healing- Chief Chilton, 0n th¢ stand 881d. I found the bottle and glass shown in court on my desk on the night of the‘ fourth. I marked the glass on the.bottom. I took it to a druggist, and be said it was a poison, éarbon )i-sulphide. I then sent it to the provincial analyst. To Mr. Knightâ€"The druggist stat- 3d he did not sell the bottle in ques Lion. It had no label on it” Carbon bisulphide is not dispensed for internal purposes, so there are not many cases of death from it. With all animals it is fatal, but with human beings we havono large records to draw conclusions from. A man would probably be light headed and gradually become insensible if he took the proper amount. It is not an instantaneous poison. Liquor would not efiect‘it. Chief Chilton on being recalled identified the wrappings on the bot- tle as the ones he sent it in. To Mr. Knightâ€"The bottle was dever out of my sight when I had the druggist examine it. At this afternoon’s session, the accrsed was remanded until Tuesday for sentence. Legislation now being entered upon the statutes of the province .will do away hereafter with any complaint that the Wheels of justice turn too slowly in the case of serious crimes in the counties. There have been in- stances during the year" when the county poliCe attempted to handle criminal afiairs alone, and at the last hour the provincial body was called in to co~operate. This some- times meant a serious delay and dif- ficulty in securing prosecutions, yet by the law, only on the request of the county crown attorney, was any outside assistance warranted. Now, however, by a statute law amend- ment power is granted the attorney general to send in provincial oflicers at any hour he deems fit. PrOVincial men may be on the scene as soon as the local officials.

J unkin, Verulam, for their new home in Lindsay, about one hundred and fifty friends and neighbors assembled to spend an enjoyable evening. When (Special to The Poet.) Parliament Bldgs., April 9.-â€"C. M. lBonan, Liberal Member for Gorth Bruce, wins. Earlier in the Session .he put on the order paper the follow- ling question: “Does the Government !intend to introduce, any anti-treating 'legislation this session?" Objection was taken .by the Government to the form of the question and the speaker 'ruled it out of order. Mr. Bowman, however, presented a long list of 1similar questions asked in previous years and gave notice of motion proâ€" .tecting the decision to have his quesâ€" 'ztion withdrawn.. 1 r I BECOME RESIDENTS 0F LINDSAY Signed on behalf of your friends and neighbors. John Martin W. B. Brandon Mr. Junkin in reply, welcomed all present and said that he was pleas ed to see them ali ‘in for the even- ing, also for the beautiful presents which seemed more than they were deserving of. The evening was spent in games, and after lunch was served, all reâ€" turned home, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Junkin every happiness in their new home. GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO ANSWER The matter hung tire for several days with the Hon. W. J. Hanna ob- viously unwilling to answer the quesâ€" tion. Today, however, the Govern- ment had‘ to give in and it was a.- greed that the question was to go back on the order paper. The Gov- ernment, therefore. either will have to answer Yes or No to the enquiry as to whether they intend to intro- duce any anti-treating legislation this session. or .will have to evade the interrogation.
