The report proved ton true, for Arnold, although not killed outright, never rallied from the cowardly shot of his fiendish assail- aut. We give in full the. evidence as taken in the examination before Justice Chapman. The facts of the case, other than those contained in our report, are substantially as follows: One James \Vatson drovi‘ from Etobi- coke two men, who give their names as James Watson and John G;- Wesley, to 'lfhuruliill on the morning 50!. Tuesday. These two put up at Simon’s :‘ghotel, and intimated their intention _ remaininiz over night. During the day, took place the up ful events as relatedgjn the evi- dencu. Immediately after ,e fatal shot Was tired, Stewart and W . y endeavor- ed to secure their rig, but were prevent- ed by the prompt vigilance of Mr. Sim- one. They then started up Yonge St., and Wesley with revolver in hand at tempted to force a teamster. whom they met on the way to drive them off. It is stated to accomplish his purpose Wesley fired no less than three shots; fortunately without effect. Wesley apneérs to have then thrown away his weapon, which has not vet been discovered. The two con- tinued their way on foot on ,the sideline near Simon’s hotel, and succeeded in getting as far as the 2nd Con. of Vaugh- an. Here they were overtaken by an armed party Of villagers, WM, with all speed had pursued in a. sleigh. At the sight of the frowning muzzles of two guns, the fugitives surrendered, and were cou- l ducted back. ironed together, to the vil- lage. Stewart, the man who shot. Ar- nold,seems to be between fo‘rjyand forty- five years of age: he has the 1‘ appearance of a. cold-blooded, hardened rascal. His features are repulsive, the mouth and teeth brutal in the extreme, forehead low, eyes light blue, and almost expressionless, hair short and turning grev, moustache and short side whiskers. Wesley, some ten years younger, is stout, and rather talller. Dark hair and eyes, heavy mous- tac re and board of a. few wgok’s growth. The onty‘mformatisu «visor-blew wont! give concerning themselves was their names, to which Stewart added that he belonged to Canada. When searched, in. kit of burglar’s tools was found in their possession. Drs. George and L. G. Langstaff, and Nelles were speedily on the spot, and about ten O‘clock Dr. Aikins, of Toronto, arrived. The latter did all that lay in human skill, but unavailingly. Arnold never recovered consciousness, and passed away about 5 o’clock on \Vednesday. His widowed mother and sisters are literally crushed beneath this terrible blow. Human comfort can here do little; their only stay is the arm of Him who ruleth all things On Tuesday morning young Arnold was in the full vigor of health; before the setting of the sun he was ruthlessly struck down. He had returned but a few weeks ago from the North-VVest, out his visit which was in its short length of mutual pleasure to his people and himself suddenly closed in a black tragedy. The prisoners were committed for trial, and were taken to Toronto on Wednes- day morning. Investigation before Magistrate Chap- man, Thornhlll. \V. Simona, sworn, said ; Prisoners had dinner at my house and asked for lodging for night. After dinner, prison- ers, Watson and Arnold took a. walk. Ar- ueld returned, without hat and running He was excited, and said he had been in a row. He wanted men to thump pris- oners. Wesley then entered the hotel. threw Off his coat, and struck Arnold, Frank Huff picked up a. stick of wood, and struck Stewart over the head; then struck \Vesley on the arm. Arnold was fighting. (All four.) Heard cllcls of pistol, and saw a. revolver in the hands of Stewart. There was a report and Arnold fell on his face. Prisoners rushed out of the bar, went to stable; ordered hustler not to give horses Prisoners went down sidewad walking pretty fast Wesley denied leaviugiu company with Stewart. John Ellstou, sworn, said: Saw all of it. John Arnold came in excited; said ho had a row at Cullin’s with three fellows, Aruuld and Huff were huntian for some one to see thatl there was fair play. Albert Lyons volunteered tn us- sistso as tn be evcnbanded. Wesley asked Arnold to have a drink; met at. the end nf stove, and struck Arnold with l force, Huff took tvfl'his cunt, and said l “ go into him Arnold.” Arnold was ink. ing Off his coat. Hufl picked up u stick and hit. Stewart several times on the bead. After this he want for Weslr-y. Stewart drew a revulver, and fired at Arnold; saw Aruolzl fwll. I then left on account of being greatly Eh‘ICl'Ii'd. James Watson was not seen to have taken any putt in the row at Simon‘s. Frank Hull", sworn, said: Was in row on 3rd of Feb. at Simon’s. Row be- gan at Colliu’s Hotel. \Vesley commenc- ed the row, slapped Arnold and caught him by the nose; threatened to throw him through the window. Arnold said if he did he would make him sufl'er for it. \Vesley followed Arnold into the bar, and struck him on the nose; scuffle ensued. Stewart and Watson said “ give it to him Arnold.” I did not take part in the row from the advice of the ladies of the house. Stewart followed me into the smoke-room. took his revolv- er (only saw part of it) in his hand and threatened to put a hole through Arnold and myself. In the meantime Arnold got away from \Vesley and ran towards Simon’s hotel. I followed Arnold. After reaching Simon’s hotel we stood near a hav‘rack. They followed us up. Wesley asked Arnold to come in and have a. drink. \Vould not swear as ‘0 all going in. \Ve went in after them. VVes- ley took off his overcoat. went up to Ar- nold and struck him. Stewart. side the bunk, about fou _ Arnold, with a pistol in his he J. I pick- ed up a. stick Of wood and struck Stewart on the top Of the head. NO sooner through striking than I heard report of a pistol, and saw Arnold fall. Pistol was in Stewart’s hands. I then made a jump and landed outside the door, followed by \Vesley. Wesley had a revolver in his band; followed him up the street. Henry Reid, hustler at Collins’ sworn, said: Saw a little of the row at Collins’. Was sitting in the bar at 3 o’clock p. m., when Stewart. Watson, Wesley and Ar- nold came in and asked if Collins was in. I said he was at Richmond Hill. Arnold asked them to come up and have a. drink, and all had a drink. After drink all want into the sitting room. Asked if they could have a. game of cards to play for the drinks. On condition that they would lock the door I handed them the cards. Wesley and I played against Arnold and Stewart one game. Wesley then quarreled with Arnold, grabbed Arnold by the nose, and said he would throw him out of the window. Arnold said if he pounded him he would be made to suffer. All then went into the bar. Wesley asked all, together with Collins, to have a drink, and Arnold who seemed to be in (\‘passion, declined. Wesley Fushed at Arnold and pushed him vio- lently against the stove, then a scuffle ensued. Arnold got away and ran to- wards Simone. The other three folâ€" lowed after five minutes. Arnold left his hat behind him. He thought W'esley was cheating him. Saw no revolver in any person’s hands during the row. “'41:- son and Stewart said no for Arnold to Wesley. The Magistrate formally committed the prisoners for trial. SCHOOL REPORTS.
