"I did not.'"
From some of the above questions it would seem that Mr. Brady, not
content with having dismissed Mr. Smith from the service of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, was trying to aid his assailants to escape
justice.
The next evidence given was that of Dr. McDonald, of Sutton, the
physician who attended Mr. Smith after the assault. His testimony was
given in the _Witness_, as follows:
"I know Mr. W. W. Smith. I was called to him professionally on
July 8th. I found him in a dazed condition, with a bruise on the
top of his head, four or five inches in length, swollen and
contused. There was also evidence of another blow, not so long,
more in the centre of the top of his head, and another blow still

received the impression that he had come there to look at a trotting
horse which belonged to Mr. Lebeau, the owner of the track. He had not
considered it anything strange that Howarth should be carrying him
around the country to look at horses.
The next witness was Silas H. Carpenter, of Montreal, chief of the
Canadian Secret Service. He said that he had been employed to
investigate the assault case. He had been informed of a stranger who,
after staying in the vicinity of Sutton for some time, had disappeared
immediately after the assault, and decided that he was probably the
guilty party. Had learned that a man answ
