He did not mean to deny that tt newspaper had an un- doubted right to comment on a trial or any officer of a trial after a ver- dict had been rendered, but to pre- judge a pending trial was an offence against Justice and could receive‘ sever-0 punishment. It, he said, after they had heard all the evidence which the Crown and the defence had to offer, and there still remained in their minds an honest and not a conjured- up doubt. it would have to go for the benefit of the prisoner. A verdict in a trial in France had convuised the whole world, for there was a great reeling that justice had not been done, and that a verd'ct of guilty had been given on evidence which was not conclusive. Knowing this. they could realize that it was necessary that they ware absolutely traturtied that “a flu... “u.” W make a true deliverance between the prisoner and the Crown.

A significant event In the opening of tho trial was the long and studied address of Mr. Osler, who spoke Mal tar matin- length and with consid. erably more attention to detail than ho gave to his trrplryt.g.peepp at the last trial.

When the court rose his bonds- men were not present, and for a few moments it meme-d as if tho young man would have to be taken to the Jail.

Speaking very slowly, and with the evident intention that the jury shouid understand all the, points of the case, he explained the arrest of Pare and Holden. the recovery of a portion of the stolen money from then, the story of the manufactured key found at Pare's direction in the po- lice cell at Nominee, and with this the story of the finding of the im- pression of. a key to the private com- partment in the safe on a piece of ‘paper in Ponton's room. The fact of the finding of the key did not indie., ‘cate the presence of an accomplice, but it would also be shown that Pon.. ton had at times possessed Mr. Baines' key, and was in a position to allow a duplicate to be made of it, and how, if there was a traitor in the bank, they had to scrutinize the evi- dence very closely to endeavor to see how far one of them was connected, it connected at all, with the burglary. Continuing his careful resume of the events in the case, Mr. Osler men- tioned the noises hoard by Mrs. Me.. Groer in Ponton's room on the night of the burglary, and the fact that she had complained of the noise long be- ige the burglary was discovered. This a Janna -..-- _ l POINTS OF TIIE CASE. I In describing the points of the (use, Mr. Osler went over the various locks in the vault and safe in the bank at Napanee, and the different way in which each was opened. There meme-ti to be no doubt that whoever opened the safe opened it with the uid of the combination, and it was for them.to unravel how the combin- ation was obtained. The lock of the outer wait, the combination of which was known to the prisoner, had plain- ly been opened by the use of the com- binntion, and it was for them to dis- cover whether this information had been obtained from the, prisoner. Speaking very slowly, and with the A‘firlanf :nLA__i.- . \evldonce. Mr. Osler also mentioned tho evidence which would neglven by Je. tectives during the trial, and spoke of the prejudice against such officers. Ho referred to tho Met that the evi. dence of detectives had boon discred- ited simply because they were de. tectives, and he asked the members of the jury tn accept such evidence without pnu’udir-v and without ref. erence‘ to tho calling of those who; (my vn . gave it. bvidcned, greatest posslblo scrutiny from both JIdges and jury. They had to con- sider, however, how the story of an accomplice was supported by other testlmony, and to take tho story with its supporting evidence, and ask themselves what weight tho two together carried. The Crown would present tho evidence ot an accom- pli‘ce supported by other substantial roi?-,., I.,. A . - greatest most materially from the functions of those who appeared for the defence. The position of the Crown counsel was best described by Queen Eliza. lbeth, who, when her Attorney-Goa. eral was euleu by some one a Queen's counsel, said: "Let him not be de. scribed as a counsel tor the Queen, but a counsel for the truth." This was practically and theoretically the duty of the Crown prosecutor. It, was "the duty of tho counsel for tho) defence, to put it tersely, "to get his client off It he could." It had been held that the counsel detendhlg; a man whom he knew to be guilty was an accessory after the tact, but the lawjdld not hold him so. There was Ml mama in his accounts, and that m robbery he Tva.id several tMy. They would find in the eVi- f certain witnesses that there memory inside the bank, and guilt was shown by the evidence. In considering this evidence they were not to go merely on the words spoken, bat on their reasonable belief of the truth of these words. THE DUTY OF COUNSEL.

Of the $23,000 a sum of $10,- I asked the jury not to consider each cucumstance as an isolated circum- stance. but to consider the evidence as a whole. He referred to the public feeling in the case. and said that the plea had been used: '"He's a mac young man; nice family: let him go." But what would the community any? It would be a slim thing to do, and an p easy thing. but the ToAre of emotion swayed by feeLisng was not the right way to try a man. In this way. ard with another appeal for a fair and conscientious consideration of the evi- t dence, Mr. Osler at 5.35 o'clock closed 1 his address. after speaking exactly two hours and ten minutes. His ad- ' dress was considerably longer than his opening smoch at the last trial, and the details of the case were ex- l planned much more thoroughly. The; , address was mngnMtcerrt in its careful , linking together of each piece of evi- 2 deuce and in the selection of the sal- font points which he desired to be im- pressed on the minds of the jurors. I LIX-MANAGER BAINES. As Mr. Osler resumed his seat. Sir John Boyd asked tor the first wit. ness tor the Crown. The Crown pro- secutor called Mr. Henry Baines, Manager of the Dominion Bank at Napunee at the time of the robbery, in August, 1897. In answer to ques- tions, Mr. Baines described the staff of the bank at that time, saying that Ponton was then teller. with Durant ledger-keeper. and Green junior. He gave a detailed description of the - bank and its outbuilding, and said t that the door of the vault was so sit- t natal that it was in full view or any C one passing on the street. The vault t was locked with a three-wheel com. I' bination lock of tho Sargent & Green. h leaf make.
