Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 19, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Better with to Fiat Solf suffice Bevy Peculiar to the nor Wester it comes in and affects to Sot everybody right upon to question of better terms and after its Ordinary style proceeds to combat arguments that Bud never been advanced. For instance it it is asserted by sumo who apparently know but anything about Tho matter that on Tho basis of confederation Manitoba did not receive its Rota allowance for defraying the expenses of it s local it is barely possible that this May to so however we do not know of such an assertion Over having been made so far As we i now Tho advocates of bet Tor terms have invariably admitted that Tho pro rata allowance and oven a greater was Maio this Giovinco but the argument is that this principle is not applicable to Tho shallot provinces and notwithstanding the attitude assumed by our contemporary now it will find refer once to its file numbers of Janu Ary and Juno last that it took this Posi Tion moreover about that Timo it advocated better terms As strongly As any who Ever spoke thereupon is Worth remembering in this connection that it suggested the chief Justice As the proper person to he be sent to Ottawa to represent our Case and advocate our claims. This is Worth remember ing into connection with Flint that this gentleman has not been selected for Tho purpose it will suggest a convincing theory to Tho most of people Why it is now opposed to what it then advocated. Therefore it is Ojito unnecessary to follow it through All its Straw arguments against better terms of which As to have already intimated it up recently was so zealous an advocate. To that Pur contemporary cannot to reproduce what it said on Tho 25th of january that Manitoba must Havo better terms from the Dominion government no Ohio who is acquainted with the disastrous state in which Tho late go Oththo finances of Tho country that to should have an1 increase of subsidy no one fairly co i pares the receipts of this province with of tho1 others will dispute Moro Money to must Havor or Tho pro Vince nuts t continue in the almost bankrupt condition present a Over Rnea t found it. The rigid Economy promised by the pros fit administration will do much but if the province to to developed if vitally necessary improve Monts Are to be made it is essential that More Money must to had. Better term delegations to Ottawa Havo not been successful in the past and Tho Only results to Havo seen from them Havo been those awkward items which the publication of the Public accounts Havo revealed to us. Still notwithstanding the ill Success and the reckless expenditure of Tho last a renewed Effort is essentially necessary. There is a glaring want of knowledge of this pro Vince at Ottawa possibly a wilful ignorance of Aita irs Bifi still an ignorance which must to done away with. Despatches and communications which would probably to consigned to the limbo of official Pigeon holes will not do it. Tho local government should secure the services of some one who while possessing the Confidence of Tho government acc Ottawa is thoroughly familiar with Tho necessities of the pro Vince. Gould the local government secure Tho services of Oil Able and popular chief Justice it would seem to imply almost a certainty of Success and it the Mission failed to would at All events Havo taken Tho very Best Means towards attaining the persuaded As Tho nor Wester of Tho 25th of january Prolo Sod to to that Manitoba must Lave hotter and that to should Havo an subsidy no Ono who fairly compares the receipts of this province of others will dispute and More Money we must have or Tho pro must continue in Tho a most bankrupt condition our present gov Ormont found it persuaded of All this and As the Jeffor Wetter put it on that occasion that notwithstanding the ill such soft and reckless expenditure of Tho last better terms Dele a a renewed Effort is Tho local government have sent a Dolo Fatiori consisting of the Premier and one other member of the Cabinet to Ottawa to make a renewed Tho local government acted upon Tho suggestions of the for Wester in every particular they did not secure the services of our Able and popular chief Justice for the work and As a consequence not Only Doe s Bur Fol pm contemporary argue o against our Cairns per. So but prophesies for to delegation an emphatic ignominious and Sifina ignominious and court of queer s Bench. Monday oct. 18, court opened chief Justice Wood and judges be Turnaj and Mckeagney on the Ber Fabj. Tho trials of Joseph c Ixl Isidor i Touron were postponed term of court. His lordship the chief Justice explained that the clause in the i right of Ohto grand jury was not in tended to maker any imputation against any particular newspaper but that they were afraid that As it was Only a special preteen Guiont would be Over looked. Angus Al Culvor was then brought up for sentence. When asked if lie had anything to say Why the sentence of the court should not to passed upon him to said that if he was sure that to had committed Tho crime to would Havo nothing to the sentence All he could say was that to could remember distinctly what Happy he d of the night before and on Tho morning after the murder but Tho whole night was a Blank. His lordship the chief Justice prisoner the Only defence Liao set up is that you know nothing o f what occurred on that night. I a m sorry to say i do not Beli ovo a word of it you knew that on Tho morning of that night 3rou said you were going to sleep with Atkinson. You went upon the Hill and what you did Trico no one can doubt that you now perfectly remember. Be tween Tho hours of ton and twelve o clock you came Down to Charette s pretended that the of was bellowing Over in Tho direction of the Wood you repeatedly tried to get Charette to go out there and failing this you endeavoured to get him to go for Tho water. You then found that mrs Charette was awake and pretended to to going up Tho Hill but turned Back saying by i think i la Sloop Here to night and you went into Tho tent and Laid Down you pretended to sleep. Char Otto was awakened two hours after by a Bullet striking him on the Bridge of the nose. It seems strange you should know enough to refuse to go to Robillard until cd Arctic and his wife promised to say it was not you that committed the crime. I should not have made these observations had you not made an excuse which was entirely without foundation according to Tho evidence. The witnesses for Tho Crown did not seem inclined to say one word Bej Ond what Tho truth compelled them to say. You were ably defended by counsel both juries gave you a patient hearing and both found you guilty and i do not Well see How they could do otherwise. I must therefore., assume that you shot and killed no one else could have. I you fired no less than seven shots at Char Otte intending to take his life. The matter s ands before the court and world Hus on the 15th september you alone on Tho Hill across Tho River Loar fort Ellice took Tho pistol and in to awful stillness of. That Beautiful Moonlight night when Yogi supposed no one saw when no human Eye id Sec Atkinson into the eternal world while enjoying that deep Leep which follows a Day of toil and he missed from Tho repose of deep sleep to he everlasting repose of death you Hen attempted Tho life of lad the so two been killed you would Lave been master of Tho situation. It be said you wore influenced by a Bolish motive but to cannot got into he Springs of human nature. When l person gives himself up to to Ovil Ono experience and Rocla ions touch us he will commit Tho worst crimes without any reasonable provocation without any reasonable motive but depend upon it although no human being saw you Tho co of Tho Groat searcher of hearts was upon you. Those who commit such crimes will eventually be exposed. The jury in oth cases Havo recommended the mercy of Tho court. I shall Sefoid Tho recommendation with a full report of to evidence to Tho executive of Tho Dominion. But i must toll you i Foci in duty bound to toll j7ou that in the whole Case i am afraid nothing can be found to the intervention of the clemency of the Crown. It is not for to to judge it must to understood Oiler no opinion to Tho exo Cutic on Tho subject. I make a Long delay in order that you May for the great acid to meet poor Atkinson whom you sent out of Tho world. Have fixed Tho Day of execution at a Dis Tant Day chiefly for two reasons to give you time for and repentance and secondly that the executive May not to hurried in Tho consideration of so important a Case let All take warning that however far from civilization the Law extends sur rounds and envelopes every person and the difficulty to apprehend an of fonder will hereafter be ibo Ninipo Dirilen to his arrest and trial. It is is sad enc in Early life to to stained with so Darl and so deep a Crimo an end which unless some merciful intervention will be upon the scaffold. Tho sentence of the court on Tho several indictments is that you to taken from Tho place where you now Are to the common gaol of this province and there be kept in solitary confinement until Tho seventh Day of january next and that Between the hours of eight o clock in the morning and you to.
