'':r Air Is qniet in Bulgaria, and the War Bubble Has Probably . - . Burst. , r Pleading: Hard for Kiel. . London, October 23. In an interview to-i day, FitzPatrick, Riei's Canadian counsel, saidr "It Ta impossible to pretend' that" Riel was unfairly tried. No doubt at the time of the outbreak in the Northwest,' grievances existed which have since been . remedied. Riel commenced the agitation from purely political motives. Many people still consider con-sider that he rendered valuable services to the country.- Doubless the excitement again induced in Riel mental aberration,rendering him . incapable of keeping . the rebellion within legal limits. On the scaffold Kiel will become a martyr.. In a prison or in an asylum he would be forgotten." In the face pf conflicting medical evidence in Riei's case, FitzPatrick advocated the appointment appoint-ment by the Canadian government of a commission com-mission to again examine the prisoner. |
