STUART IDENTIFIED IN LEITH Several other serious charges are being laid to Stuart. At the home of Mr. Robt. Wallace, Lindenwood, where the prisoner was arrested, the police secured all Stuart’s personal eflects from his room, and among ether articles found a watch. which has proved to be the one stolen from ,T. E. Vanstone’s dry goods store on ‘the night of the 'attempted murder. {Stuart was familiar with the prem- Iises, he having been engaged by a :‘contractor on the work of building { the new ad glttion at the rear of the .store a short time previous. In addition to the watch Stewart gor. $2 50 from the till, part of which he evidently used in buying a pair of new rubbers at F. C. Wilkinson’s shoe store. He left the old over. shoes he had been wearing, and they were thrown into a corner by the clerk. The police got track of this and got Stuart’s old over-shoes. They correspond exactly with the foot- }marks traced along the East shore. [The overshoe on the left foot was lslightly too large and the overhang! . ing part made an unmistakable ridge. iThismorning Detective Murray will put the old overshoes on the prisoner and have him make footprints. so that an exact comarison may be made. .-_ â€" -h.- -W -vâ€"o A chain of the most conclusive evi~ l deuce is being collected which all ap~ i pears to point to the guilt of Albertl Stuart. who wss arrested early Fri-l day morning charged with attempt-l ing to murder James Morrison, a Syd- 3 enham farmer. Chief Provincial De- : tective Murray arrived in town on; Friday night, and has taken the; matter in charge. However, before! his arrival Chief McAuley and the? local police force, with the assistance : of County Constable Foeter, had the'i case pretty well in hand. and the big '2 detective is busy collecting evidence E and further details regarding the 3 crime, and looking up Witnesses for; the investigation. ‘ Detective Murray spent Saturday in the vicinity of the crime, accom. panied by Constable Foster. To-day he will go out to Keppel. where the young prisoner was arrested. When seen in the Patterson House last evening by The Sun. the chief detec- tive said that every link of informa- tion was now complete. and there was no doubt but that Stuart was the guilty man. Mr. Murray reviewed the case carefully, and said the evio deuce against the prisoner was con- elusive. He was now merely engag. ed in hunting up witnesses and get- ting them in line for the investigation The detective related several cases in his experience parallel to the Mor- rison case. in which “ home” boys had figured. The Connersficase in Whitby, and the King murder near St. Thomas. were among those men- tioned. .. Crime is hereditary.” said Mr. Murray. "and our country is making a great mistake in allowing children of the Barnardo type to be imported wholesale into Canada.” A number of men have identified Stuart as being in the vicinity of Leith on the night of the crime. On passing through Leith on that night Morrison called at the post oflice and several men who happened to be standing on the platform identified Stuart as the man they saw in the back of Morrison’s wagon. Stuart’s record is certainly not an enviable one. He is a native of [re- land. He knows noching of his pa- rents and the earlieSt in his life which he remembers was in a home in Don. das, Ont. From there he was taken to Honover. where a farmer named Chas. O’Hara, of Sullivan th. took him in charge. Here he Stayed for seven years and was treated well. But a few years ago he came to town and since then he has not been in the besc of company. He Served six Every day. and there is no horse to equal him for Speed or sensiâ€" bility. A lady can drive him with perfect safety when he is not hitched to his sulky. You can pick out the horses in our locality every day that are fed on Stock Food. Hove you seen George (Owen Sound Sun). Dan Patch is seen George Fed International Stock Food i months for the Rom; post ofice afiair k and 30 days for stealing from a car in ithe C. P. R yard. His record shows ‘ that on several occasions he has ‘ threatened to shoot. He is suspected of having something to do with the Albion hotel stable fire a week ago, and at Ieasr two petty thefts of re {cent date Jae. Morrison. the victim of the as- sault, is reported as doing nicely. al- though he is act out of danger. It is unlikely that the investigation will be held on Saturday, and Stuart Will be remanded until such time as Mor- rison may appear. ADDRESS AND PRESENTATION Crawford. Ont...
