Mr Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.l
OTTAWA, Sept. B.—The trial of James
Whalen was resumed to-day. Constables
Jordan and Pengard stated how their at
' tention was first directed to Lacroix. They
brought him to town and he pointed out
the spot where he'saw a man shoot, and de
scribed the particulars of the tragedy. La
.
croix is an ignorant Frenchman, and
showed that ho was extremely unwilling
and afraid to come forward in the matter,
, but that his first statement of circumstan
ces connected with the murder closely
agreed with his evidence given yesterday.
Witnesses testified to Whalen's mysteri
ous and suspie ous movements in the Par
liament house on the night of the murder.
Mr. J. J. McGee testified to 'Whalen's
visits to his brother's house on the morning
of the .22d of January under an assumed
name:
ldr.l3uckley, a messenger in the House,
gave evidence tending to shield Whalen.
He said he suspected another man whom
he had seen lurking around the House. It
is believed that Buckley will bo arrested
himself.
Other witnesses wore examined, all of
whose testiinrrny, although circumstantial,
point stro-gly to Whalen as the perpetrator
of the crime. The court adjourned at.six
o'clock to meet again to-morrow.
The Crown o,Ounsel appears to feel wholly
satisfied that evidence wilt be produced to
convict.Whalen,while the, counsel for the
defense ;expect , to break it doWn, and they,
are equally confident that Whalen will be!.

Orangemen on the jury.
Mr. °Riley defends his challenging of
Roman Catholic jurors, on the ground, as
he alleges, of, a well known sympathy, on
the part of the many: -Roman Catholics in
this neighborhood with Whalen. The re
fusal of Chief .Justice Richards to al ow a
peremptory challenge of jurors .it is
thought, by many lawyers hero, fur
nish ample grounds for a new trial in the

BRIEF .NEWS ITEMS.
THE COURTS.
Court of Quarter
.Sesstons.
[Before Judge Sterrett.]
Court met at ten o'clock, Wednesday, and
proceeded to business in order.
Thos. B. -Hamilton, Esq., presented for
approval the report of board of viewers of
a road in Elizabeth township. Approved.
David Beck, John H. neelure, James 1).
Kelly and Alfred Askin, summoned as
traverse jurors, were excused for cause.
The grand jury appeared and returned a
number of bills.
A surety case, partially heard on Tues
day, was resumed, and among the wit
nesses called was ;Michael Sweeney. who
refused to be sworn until his. fees were
paid, stating he had been obliged to leave
his work and-to pay a man two dollars for
taking his place. The Court inquired
whether ho had demanded pay as a witness
at the time he was served With the stth
-p(ena. Answering in the negative, the
Court directed him to -be sworn. He
Firmed rather ani unwilling witness, an
swering questions indirectly. In the course
of his examination (Judge Sterrett having
taken, him in hand) it appeared that he
keepa a licensed tavern in the Sixth ward,
occupYing five rooms for such purpose—
one, as a bar, the remainder consisting
of kitchen, dining room, a single other
apartment the family, and another for
the use of lodgers. He was asked what
representation he had made„ to the Board
of License, the Court thinking it fm
probable that he could have obtained
license for a house with such limited ac
commodations. Sweeny said that the
house contained seven rooms. but that two
had been reserved and were occupied by a
lady owning the premises. In the affida
vit accomptinving his application for
license (the papers having been sent for)
_he represented that the house contained
seven rooms, with the necessary number
of beds and other requirements under the
law. It was'plain that the Board of License
had been imposed on, Sweeney's statement
to the Court of the arrangments of his house
differing materially from his affidavit, and
that had he represented truthfully in all
probability a license would . have been re
fused him. The Court said that although
the matter had been irn - gularly brought
up, it was one of which the District Attor
ney should take due notice. Prosecu
tions for perjury was the only proper way
to prevent such imposition upon the
License Board. Sweeny was directed to
"remain in Court," but finally was allowed
to depart.

—A pretty accurate description has been
obtained by detectives of the man who re
cently ravished and murdered the little
girl, Mary Merman, in Philadelphia, a few
days since, and every effort is being made
to arrest the scoundrel. Mayor McMicheal
has offered a reward of five hundred dol
lars, and it is thought he will surely be
taken, as he was seen making for the woods
shortly after his meeting with the girl in
the evening. Tliti post mortem examine
tion'showed that the little chila had been
first outraged in a horrible manner, and
then beaten on the head with a blunt in
strument and thrown into a brick pond.
Detectives think the villain who committed
the crime is the same who murdered- the
Joyce children, near Boston, some years
ago.
—The particulars of the murder of two
white men at Thompson, Georgia, by a
negro, shows it . to have been unprovoked.
The negro split open the skull of one with
lan axe while his back was turned. The.
colored people in the neighborhood cap
,tured and hung the murderer.
