informing him of the accident. and he and Dr. McLaughlin drove 011i to the jail. When they arrived Mr. Coles had been removed to the Charlottetwon Hospital. They W011i? to the hospital and saw him. Mr. Cotes was conscious: he was talk- ing to Rev. Mr. Raymond when they came in. Later they convcrscd with the patient. An account 0f the conversation was written down

at the time in the presence of the‘

witness, Dr. McLaughlin, Dr. Led- wcil and Rev. Mr. Raymond. . Attorney General: “Before read- ‘ing the statement, Doctor, can you answer this question: Could he (Mr. Coles) have signed the statement?" Witness: "I do not think so." Dr. Ledwell: “He was burned so extensively that Lo would not handle a pen." t

VICTIM . l; Hill-INT

, Witness ilicn rcad the following

‘statement of the conversation which took place with the deceas- ed on Wednesday night in the

i hospital: '

i Dr. Lcdwcll said: “Were you in

ibcd when the fire stllrted?” Mr.

Colcs: "I was in bed.” Dr. Ledwell

dwm-d power‘ another prisonér, , asked if lie had his clothes ofi’. M1‘. l

Coles said his clothes were off but not his underwear. Dr. Ledwellz’

“Did any person throw matches inI

to you?" Mr. Coles: "Yes, a dozen times; we couldn't put it out; the bedding burned and I got a bad scorching.” Dr. McLaughlin: "Did you sec matches thrown in?" Mr Colcs: “Yes; Sherran wasn't there." ‘Dr. McLaughlin: "Did you see the person?" Mr. Colcs: “Yes, I saw the man. He was one of the pris- oners." '

The ‘Attorney General pointed out that the evidential value of the document was doubtful, inasmuch as questions were put which sug- gostcd their own answers, cspccial- } ly to a man in Mr. Coles‘ condition.

Witness said he thought Mr. Coles knew what he was saying. The Attorney General: "Do you ‘think he was in a rational state of mind to make a statement?” Witness: "I could not say on my oath that he was, but I felt at thc ‘time that he was."

1 Bernard McCloskey testified to ‘having kicked at tho corridor door ~to warn the jailors of the fire. As- sistent Jailor Roberts came to the door; witness shouted there ‘was s. fire and said “Get the kcy." Rob- erts, Sherran and the prisoner Power came into the corridor. Shor- ran went down to the toilet room. at the end of the corridor, for water. He (Sherran) had the key and wimcss shouted to him to come back and open the door. Some one came back with the key and they finally succeeded in open- ing the door. Witncss did not hear any one‘ say how the fire started.

ATTENDANTS EVIDENCE

Morson Sherran, Falconwood at- tendant, testified he had been act- ing as guard over the insane pa- tients in the jail since the Falcon- wood fire. He was on night duty.

Q. (The Coroner): Tell us what you did on Wednesday evening be- tween ‘l o'clock and the time of

A.—Sornebody sang out “The Key!" Roberts had the key before that a long time, and I forgot about him giving it to me. When they hollered "key" I put my hand on it and gave them the key.

Q-whom did you give it to?

A.—I think it was Ted Power. it wouldn't be any more than about

two or three seconds. ' Q-Then you went down to get some ivater?

ing as fa": from the fire as he could get-in the corner."

Q.—Was it possible for a butt of a cigarette to get beneath the ccll door?

A-It would take a long time be- fore that would start in flames.

The trousers worn by the deceas- ed patient were produced, and show- ed bad burns in front and not in the rear. Dr. Goodwill stated that the patient was extensively burned on the back. Torn pieces of mattress covering and excelsior were found stuffed in the pockets.

Evidence of other witnesses ex- Coles. when rescued from his cell, had no clothes on him.

Q.—(Mr. Farmer): Did you sce anybody ncar the door when you went in the corridor the last time?

Q.- (Attorney General) Why didn't you take it out when you found it dcstroyod?

Q-Was there anything said that this excclsior should he removed?

A.-—Ycs, I told the clay follows that that mattress should be remov- ed.

Q-Thcy evidently did not do it?

A.—It was not gone, no.

Witncss further stated that thc lock on the Coles cell was in sood condition. The heat had evidently expanded it. or the burning paint had caused it to stick. The fire had evidently just started when the al- arm was given, as not llllli of the excelsior in the oell had bccn burn- ed. Witness knew Mr. Colcs very well, and felt sure he had not start- ed the fire himself. "n: was not that kind.

The witnesses examined included Christopher and Richard Keefe. 1 Both denied having given matches to the patient, though their stories as to their whereabouts immediately after the fire were contradictory. Richard Keefe maintained that , about twenty minutes before the fire ' he and his brother had gone down to the kitchen, that they remain- cd there until the alarm was giv- en, that they then rushed upstairs with the other prisoners and found McCloskey in tilc act of rescuing Mr. Coles from the burning cell.

Christopher Keefe stated that when he came on the scene from the kitchen Doctors McLaughlin and Clark had arrived. Ehevious testimony showed that this would’ be about half an hour after the fire. Witness offered no explanation of what he was doing during this pcr- iod.

Q.--(By a juror) Before you wcnt down to the kitchen how long did ‘you stand talking to Coles?

A.—I was not talking to him at all.

Q-You are positive of that?

A.—Ycs.

Q-You were not. in thc corridor where Coles coll was for half all hour before you heard the alarm?

A.—No, .

Q-You started upstairs when you heard the alarm and yet it was half an hour later when you got up?
