The amount of deposits during the year was $7,355,- 923.

Mis. Card, on being recalled, swore that she remains ed at the opera house Saturday even- ing until the play was promple.ed. Then O. I. Shepparu was called anu testi- sied that the audience was not dismissed until 11 o'clock--a few minutes al er that hour, he toought.

He boarded a car and rode as far as Jame- son-avenue. A lady alighted at the samo time, and he preteded her down the street, The lady met two girls and a boy at Victoria Crescent and Jameson- avenues Tuis establishes Kellar as the man who went down ahead of Mrs, Card, as sworn to ian hor testimony, in which she relates the meeting with the Misses Wesley, Kellar did not have a latch- key for his house, which is close to Jameson-avenne, and had to arouse one of the inmates, Tris he did by whistl- ing. The rear ol the house is ouly 100 feet from the railway croasing, tae direc- toa io which De, Lynd anil Misses Wesley they heard EL LD uistle, Kellar's iene also esta eiod ~ the act that the man who Mrs, Cotd saw enter the Westwood place, 'eutered it as fixed by the inmates of the house, as it was 23 minuces to 12 when Kellar went up to his room, alter beiag delayed thre¢ minutes. W. H. Munro, who lives with Kellar at 70 Victoria-crescent, got home about 11 o'clock, and, coming down Jamcson- avenue, saw the two. men described by the Misses Wesley sitting on the fence on the east side of the street at the railway crossing, Belors reaching the crossing he heard the report of a pistol, the report coming from the south. He did not pass any person coming up Jameson-avenue, Twenty minutes after he entered the house he heard Kellar whistling and admitted him. To further strenzthen the foregoing witnesses, Miss Watson of 72 Victoria- erescent was called, and testified that she arrived home at 10.25. She heard two shots, the first being heard at 10 minutes to 11. She was positive, as she looked at the clock. The second rang out three or four minutes later. The first shot was louder than the second. 'The most sensational evidence of the nizht was given by Stephen Leslie, re- sidinz at 118 Victoria-crescent and em- ployed on the G.T.R. lle swore that when he passel the barber shop a few doors from 1300 Queen-strect west, it was 25 minutes to 11 by the barber's clock. He stood talking at Queen-street and Close-avenue for three or four minu- tes and then proceeded along Close-avenue to Springhurst, and along Springhurst to the G.T.R., and passing along the depot platform in front of the depot, ha heard a shot. It came from the south and sounded like a smothered shot. He saw no one and after waitinZ for & moment revent it opeu- He suid he was. fired on as spon as the door was opened. Wit- vesg said he had been in attendance for fifteen minutes or twenty minutes when Dr. Lynd arrived. 3 . There was a feeling at the house hat the shot might have been intended for some one else," said the witness. "Who said that?" asked Mr. Dewart. "I-don't know. I just got the impres- sion. Mr. Westwood eaid he did not and said t think that referred would do sich a oy had little to say. The stone hooker alfair waa. also suggested." Miss Bessie Stephen, the domestic ser- vant of the Westwood's, was then called. She swore to having lived in the family wor six weeks. On Saturday night, Oct. 0," Frauk was home for supper and went out about 8, Nothing unusual had hap- pened, nor had Frank had words with any 'member of the family. Witness re- tired at 10 p.m., and was awakened by Mrs Westwood screaming. The only words she beard her say were: "Oh, Ben, don't go." 'Then she heard running about, but. mo other sounds, and had heard no pistol shots; and in about 10 minutes Mrs, Westwood came to witness' room and told her to get up as Frank was shot. Ble got up and dressed, and weat to Franz's bedroom, Ile was lying on the floor with a pillow under his head; and Mrs. Westwood was there wilh the younger brother. Mr. (Westwood was downstairs at the "telephone. Frank bad all Lis clothes on except his coat. Witness assisted Dr. Sparrow to lilt him on to the bed, Mrs, Wesiwood and Willie were in the room, Mr. Westwood was at the telephone. Mrs. Westwood said, *'Look at the wound," but said nothin as go how it happened. Later she told me hM door bell rang. Frank opened the door and & man outside had shot him. Mrs. Westwood gave me the same statement as ber husband. Frauk made no state- ment to me. No suzgestion was made as to who could have done it. Frank had no dispute with his father while I was there. They were on the best of terms. The shirt worn by Frank was placed amonz- the dirty clothes aud washed, the undershirt was burned. rt Cooper, 99 Jameson-aveuue, testi- fied that a man cape up to them while they were prota Jameson-avenup about 6 o'clock on Saturday evening, Oct. 6, and asked where No. 23 Jame- son-avenne was, They told him and he went south, returning shortly afterwards, This evidence was speedily dissipated when James Burns, expressiman, was call- ed and testified that he and a companion drove . down Jameson-avenue at 4.30, Saturday afternoon to deliver a piano] to Mr." Westwood's, Ile zot off the wagon and went over to some boys aud asked where Mr. Westwood's was.

He did not bother keeping the paper, as he did not pay any attention to'it. He had some other pieces of paper, however, which he had founl ia Victorid-erescent. These he had found together, Amidst breathless suspense in the andience, the witness 'dived down in his overcoat pocket and produced a piece of foolscap, on which was glued his remarkable find, Mr. Dewart looked at it and smiled. Bo did Hornberry until ho saw Detective Porter pocket his precious clue. This concluded the evidence.
