In March the witness accompanied by Mr. Walter' Duncan of the Royal Can- adian Mounted Police, made two visits. The first was on March 5th when the menibers of the family were present.

M`r. Walter Duncan, said witness,

WHS an investigator from the De- ll1\l'llll0¥lt Of JUSIICQ. At the Ellis home he took a stateincnt from the women members of the family. They gave it very freely, 1-le did not know exactly who Mr. Lucas was. The latter had been in Sum- merside off and on since March.

“Did~he tell you he had a state-

ment front the prisoner?"

.,Yes_..

“When?" -

“The first week in March." Willie invariably every courtesy

had been extended to the witness by the members of the family on tho_last occasion the women hesi- tated somewhat before giving him the articles he wanted. Mr. Ellis was not there then.

'Sheriff McNutt was examined by

the Attorney»General as to the safe keeping ol' the exhibits. Mr. Staun- ders was.asked as to the conduct of the prisoner during his conflue- ment, -"I couIdn’t wish for any better." he said,

Mr. W. J. Whitney, deputy pro-

thmiotary and Louis Blactlulere were also eicamined. as to the care of the exhibits. To Mr. Saunders witness said that the prisoner actod well. l-le found liiui a good reliable chap and .gave hiin no trouble what ever.

Daniel Steele, of Suinmersido, rc

nielnbered January 8tli.'llc drove Constable Bradley i_o_ Harmony and 'was`in the decéi-1sed‘s room. The body of Mrs. Ellis was on the bed. Among other things in tho room he saw a white canvass shoe under the bed. A shoe was produc ed which Steele said resembled the one in question.

The witness drove the constable

and the prisoner to Siimniorslde. The conversation centred on the war and the flying corps. The prls onor did not talk iuiicll. There were no remrtriis passed which impress- ed witness. »

At the time of the arrest Ellis

was wearing khaki pants and rub- ber boais_ Regarding the prison- er’s farewell Steele-corroborated the evidence of Bradley.

Dr. Mc'I`nggart was re-called. hir.

Johnston asked llim-whetlier he ex ainined the lint water- bottle.

“lt was examined on- both sides

and found to be hloodstained," re- plied the witness.

Mr. Saunders took the opportun-

ity to question Dr. McTaggari. on a further quotation of Taylor’s Medical Jurisprutlcntze concernillir rigor mortis, with which witness disagreed based, he Said, oil tlully experience.

Major lit-amfltt was re-called

and stated that his sister was right-handed. To Mr. Saunders _ho stated that hc did not know defin- itoly whether his sister could use both hands with equal facility.

Mr. .strong oddressctl the iurv

for the lloftnice. Hr said the pros ct-_utlon luul now closed its case.

"In presenting thc case before

you he said, “thc prosec- ution _ had before you ,the people who were present ln the vicinity at the time of the tragedy. Also they have had do- tcctlvcs, policemen and medical DX ports. We wish to show you that we have given every assistance. Not only the prisoner but the mem- bers of the family have given vol- untary assistance. We have hid- den nothing and wish to lay all the circumstances concerning this said tragedy.

“We will show you how this

young man started out at an early nge for himself. He went to the States, then to Western Canada settling in Port Arthur. When the war broke out he went overseas. Ho met his wife there and rt close attachment grew. He went to France and later was wounded and name back to England to servo on the instructional staff. Before sailing for Canada he married his wife."

Mr, Strong wont on to discuss

the life at Harmony; how the pi-ln oner immediately set to work on the farm carrying on his duties until his arrest.
