If the Ciown falls to nUh-fy you that theie is guilt, then no /patter how gi iev- ously the pi Isonejs iay bo .subpec-ted they are entitled under, our laws to bo discharged. I3ut If the chcumstaneei- related In. the witness box bring to your minds that conclusion of guilt that Is in soma renpocts automatic, then you have to render that con clusion no matter what the conse quences may bo. We are here mere ly performing the functions the law ban assigned to us\ It Is not your ver dict that affects tho prisoners, It Is the law as the result of your verdict. You must perform your duty fearlessly and courageously, and you have to perform your duty without regard for the lives of the accused. Sympathy haB no part In thin trial. If sympathv bad any part in it I might just ns well appeal for your sympathy for the poor young man lying dead that morn ing as my friend 1ms for tho men In the dock. TTo then asked, in view of all these things he hart broughtto their atten tlon, was there or wao~there not rela tionship between these arrangements and the death ? Wore they not sim ply a preparation ? The next matter Mr. Osier dealt with was the hoint In the warehouse. This hoist bad for years .terved its pur pose for Imrie & Graham, who did a largo business. liut with the nyamfcs, who had no busineni at all to speak of, the hoist wan being continually tinker ed with and repaired. Then, In con nection with thla, there were the con tinual and nggresulvely pronounced warnings to Welln to take caic of the holnt for fem' of accident; there wan the putting on of gatea, ostensibly to prevent accident; then there was the taking off of tho front board of the \ weight shaft In the cellar. Further, 'on the top flat they had a platform, built close to tho elovator cihaft by Which they could take off the weight and put on a lighter one.

The weight was leaning against the southeast cornei of the elevator shaft on the east face. Witness saw a pair of spectacles lying either on the weight or on the shaft of the elevator. The glasses, were badly bent, particularly the right rim and the right glass was broken out. When wltiuss first saw the body it was lying em the back and partly on the side, the head being Inclined so as to show the light side plainly. The head was fearfully smashed, being ciushed from the right to the left, and there was a deep cut ovei the right eye.

There were gloves on Wells' hands at that time. 1 took one of them i off and I think Fox took off the other; then I washed the face of the dead boy, after which Humphrey, Fox and I put the body on the cooling board and carried It upstaiis, where wo halted a moment to fasten it securely. We then put it i wagon and I drove slowly to the on Yonge-streiet, where it wag taken out and I then drove to the stable. That same afternoon witness strip ped and ck'anid the body. It \/a.s with out injury below the neck. The n ck appeared to be broken. In the right eye was found a piece of ),lass. There was a heavy bruise running aloni; the right slelo of the head Just below and aiound the ear.

The hotly was lying In Itn coffin sornevhat on the s'de. the face looking south,Umd the mark d sci Hi ed was on the uppennost eye.

She was positive that the head lay to~the wc-t and that the face was looking south, which would bring the left fide of the face uppermost. Could not eh scribe or recall any other Inju ries to tin- head of the deceased. Joseph Rowley,Jew ok I, Spadinn-nvr'- nuo, also saw the body of Willie Wells as It lay at Humphrey's mortuary, the day of the killing All around Ihe right eye siomed to have been crushed In. Tho witness also h nv a wound over the left eye, and a scratch on the light side of the face. The wound !m~ mediatelv over the left eye was about an inch long Mr. Johnston took the* witness in hand and started out to fliow that there w-a.s a feeling of bit terness b'-tween himaelf and the prl- soners."JThe witness denied that there was any bitterness ot ill-feeling be- tw een them. A business transaction of an unsatisfactory nature gave rise to a mi^undeislnnding between the witness and the prisoners, but tbo wit ness refused to admit that It was of the nature of an unfriendly feeling. The pievlous witness was succeeded In the box by his son Krie'd Rowley, who i.i also a Jeweler.

Young Mi. Rowley was most positive on the .sub ject and could not be rha^en Tf plaster of nnrls hid l cm - r-T""-Tj' over the right eye to make It prevent able. It would certainly have been nreossnrv in the ease of tho left eye for the same reason Mrs. Rowley, the mother of the Ia<t wltneaa, vlalted the houpe of Ayles worth, to see the body of Wei's, the day after the killing took 'plac\ Thi. bond v " -fj a uounef auout two Indies in leugta was visible over the left eye. The witness thought the wound was a ghastly night foi the i'i lends to look upon, and placed some (iowois over It, to hide it fiom -view. In ei'^-ex- amlnallon, Mrs. .Rowley s'aid that us ehe was, standing on the north s de ot the coflln, she could "not see the right side of the face, ^\\ov, lu-7 thut the wound must have been on the left side'. "When Mi .Johnston suggested that those who said that (here was a wound only over the rl;ht oyo must have been mistaken, the witness said that they may have been pacing too much attention to the right side of, the face, "you may have been paving too much attention lo the left aide," said Air Johnston. "I paid enough att3ntIon to convince me that there was a wound there," re plied Airs. Rowley. An attempt by Mr. Johnston to Il lustrate the position of Wells' head as It lay In the co'Iln, with a perfect kul] that has been In use for these purposes since the opening of the trial, fell thioufih, as the sight of the ghast ly grinning face turned townrdn her was more than Mrs, Rowley could look won.
