criminal tria

tional base baa.

in the Vancouver

An Indian, named Simon Peter Gun-a-Noot who for thirteen years sluded arrest and Enally gave himself up to the polise, has been acquitted, on a charge. of murdering a half-breed packer named Alexander McIntosh, early on the morning of June 19, 1906, on the Two-Mile Trail near Hazelton in one of the fastrisuser of Western Canada, C. PRO

́ ́Sums estimated at over £10,000- were spent in the search for Gun- a-Noot, who is one of the best- known Indians in British North- America. He surrendered in order that his innocence might be established.

Outlining the details of the case, the Crown Prosecutor said that Melatosh was found dead on the trail, abot in the back. The Two-Mile Inn, where the tragedy occurred, was a low drinking- house where a number of men, including Meintosh and Gun-a- Noct, were carousing on the night of June 18.

Quarrelling appeared to here culminated in a fight in the early hours of the morning. Gun-a- Noot was bleeeding at the mouth as the result, when another man stepped between him and his į adversary to shake bands,

Gun-z-Noot. WES alleged to have departed, saying as he went: "I'll go away now, and come back later and fix you." Five hours later McIntosh was dead.

The Indian was seen riding furiously away about two hours after the fight. and he was not seen again in the locality until June 4, 1919.

When the police went to Gun. a-Noot's but they found Simon's

three horses killed, one with a

pick-aie. Later they found the place surrounded with dogs picketed in a circle so thet no- body could get near. Simon was gone and his departure was on the same day as the murder. Since then, for thirteen years he had wandered about the moun- tans of the West, living nobody knew how,

The witness at the trial said he saw Simon weeping and crying disconsolataly, ejaculating: kill a white man, snybody say I kill two it's a lie."

Another witness said that the men's words were: "Kill one an, white man; didn't kill two; white man say kill two, he lie." | Simon did not say he himself had

done the killing.

No actual evidence was forth-

coming of anyone having seen McIntosh shot..

After the acquittal by the jury, who deliberated for only 16 minutes, the Crown decided not to proceed with a recond charge against Gun-a-Noot of murdering

a half-breed named St. Claire on the same morning that McIntosh was killed.
