THE CAIN MURDER CASE.

Tho Judgo's Charge,

[BY IBLBGBAPH -PBKSS ASSOCIATION.]

DtTHEDIS, Fiiday. ; THIRI wu a crowd at the *»P™""^ ' this mining, when Thomas Hull, phartferi l™,ra-J E n lf Captain C.in cane bo foro the Ur.-.nd Jury. His Honor Justice Williams, in his charge to tho Grand Jury, , said :-1 shall confine myself to porting out j tho salient features of tho case made against , tbauouNd by AedopoMtloDß. TbeaocuEod Thomas Hall, is charged with the wilful | murder of Henry Caio. Honry Cain died . death there was no suspicion of any £ou play. S»me months after Ms death mm- C torn wro aroused and his body was cv * M ,l Uiorowas found antimony in o cmft itityjsuf icionr,.iccording to the mcdi Ll testimony, to have accelerated death in F » n m tho weak condition in which r,.;.i «"i« shortly before his death, how, an mony U not naturally found in the hum"n body, and U not a P'ouuct o do coufDo'ition. If t.akon, a* it sooms to have ffi&y Cain in hi, »ff f o how «U it administered 7 ~re Fxribud for him, but antimony novor entered into any of tllScO pref cnp'.ionn lo accoinic, before, for ita prosonco, thoro could bo bat the hypoth^ol: 1. That it v.M taken or administered by acoulont. - I hat «ru nUfully iak«n by Cam 3 ttrtlt was wilfully adminialerod by Eumeono XI. You lnvo to consider which of theae the Dvhience ihowa to ta rnoas probable. The evidor,co_ further Shorn 'aw ground for suppwing that more antimony waa adm.nislorcd than was Mtaallv found in tho body after dca.h. During the latter part of his life Cain suf frcul from constant vomiting-a symptom, indued, of hisdisoaie, butaleoa ciaraeteru tio gymptcin of antimonia! poiioning. Ho seems to have especially complained that tae whis-ky which ho hud been in the babit of taking for many years cau■:od him to vomit. Tivo witno^e.-, who took tho whisky in Oaia'a hou-o, c-poke of being nok imme diately after, but on tlrt otbec hand other vvi'iieese:', who nlao took tho hqu r, suflcred no ill effscts. Tha medical testimony do .8 not eetm to have boon very fully brought out nfc tho preliminary inquiry, and POWimy from the quantity of antimony found m the body, and fn,m tho appearance ci the dill^rent orpans, tho doctor may bo able to draw gomo furilwr inferences mare)fal to the oaso. Tho aceus-ed (Hud) had murr.cd the ttcpdaughttr o? tho tlecittfcd in May. IUS.-.. The deceased h-id an objection to tho marriage, and Hall and ho woro not at that lime on friendly terms. About throo mor.t.'H bif.ir.'- C ..-i'a decease, • however, the lo'iliffoicwwa »-t.e made up, und Hall be came a daily visitor at tha house, calling morning and evening, and often being with deceased alono. It is suggested that trio poisoning commenced, or at any rato becimo rciihir thorliy after the timo Hal. b visits commenced, In May, JBSjJHuII had-pufr chr.^-d a work on PTWi^nf, whicli he appears to hivo Rpaciully to ascertain the operation _ot this particu'ar drug. Tfce book contains lha dote 1382 in Hull's handwriting, sne, ---unslifi--' that he then bad it in his pofestaion, and s-il'gesting what was-, of course, untrue. In Auaust, ISSIi, Hall was arrested on another charge, a chamo of attc-mptinc to pois-on by antimony, and antimony was tound ii hi- po-se:---ion. I!o then admitted that ho had piircha«cd antimony, and stated he had used it for a lopr timo for cigarettes for a-thmn. For same time before Cains death Hall had been in great tsnarci.il diSi cultite ur.d ha rceorcod to forgery to aile 'viato those difflcultiea. I" several refpecta Cain'H couth would have been a direct or indirect pecuniary benoflt to Hall. Tho case, therefore, as disclosed by the drposiu»ns. w thortly as follows :—Oain'i deirh was accclrratc.i by antimony; the hypotheiisof accidental administration, or of its having' been wilfully t iken by Cain.ia irn probable ; Hall had constant occ?-? to Cain ; Hall had UDtiinntiy in his po-so.»eion, and hid etudi. d tho subject of antiuor.-al poi-on; Hull was urgently in want of money, and Cain's death would help to dlvo him some tnon«-y. If jou think there i* prima facie evidence that Ci-i's dfath was acc-jlernted, even in the smallest d.-j.'re6, by ar.tnuunv wi:fu!ly ariministeted by Hall, you will Und a true bi:l.

In order to understand tha position of ailaira it must bo stated that tho directoro have he'd aloof from the prosecution, and that tho informant, had not ncca^a to tbo Company's books, no that ho was in a meusuro groping in tha dark. A preliminary objection woe made that the information w«w tad, in that it did cot dis close tbo d;to of alieged embezzlement, and ihe euin said to have been abstracted but Mr Wardoll held that for the purposes of a pre-' liminary investigation it was sufliciently explicit Alter discussion, however, £1,900 waa insoited a) theamouofc iv question, and tho caso proceeded. Tho examination of witnoesoa occupied until 9.15 o'clock, but vtry Httlo progcosa was made. The urOßOCUtion was hedged round with teohni ( cal objoottons, but the Magistrate, despite thu protests uf counsel for tho defendant, inlimatod hia Intention of r.llowing all poe sible lat.ilu Jo.

Mr 1). T. Stuart, present acting-secretary of tliu Company, swora to tho receipts for £180, £200, and £100 amongst otherß which had been presented to him, for which he could find no entries in the hooka. Witness believed that tho accused now owed nothing to tho Company, a discharge having been given to him, John B. Harcourt, Chairman of Directors, swore that a deed of release had been executed, but ho had no personal knuwlodgo of any defalcations on tho part of tho ;t.:cuserf. Tho caso now stands ad jourued until Friday next, and the accused. is on bail on his brother's recognisance of £100. .

It is announced that the Gospel Temper ance meeting; formerly held on Sunday evenings in tho Protoetant Hall, will for the future bo held in the X^oresters' Hall. To morrow evening two members of the Wes loyan Conference will bo the speakers. It is gratifying to find that the success of these services enables the promoters to re. move to a larger hall, which will be much more coiufortablo to tho audience, and give a larger sphere tor ii-ef.ilnoes for those in terested in Hie work.

At tho solicitation o[ many friends of tha Tetnpsrunco luuvtiiient, a meeting is cou< voned to bu lielu iv tho l'emi»crdnoo Hall on Thnreduy noxt to consider the deiirability of nrrunyir.i; f.-ir a demonstration similar to the ono iicld on Fubruary Stb, 1886, which was co very successfully carried out that everyone wm well pleased, and the Coin.. mitteo had a ba'.iii.ce in hand, in epite of the '"'■ fact that they had to raiieeomo £12 to meet tho deficiency of tho previouß..demoDslra< tiOBT~-AT'» ptrVuNTlutoresVeuahouiS attend on Thursday next, at 7-30.
