He was far from being convinced also that there was ‘any fraudulent intent to commut crime as contemplated by the Code, and so the accused was given the full benefit of the dowbt. After the Crown‘s evidâ€" ence had been put in, Mr. Geo. Mitâ€" chell, solicitor for Mr. Davis, asked for a dismissal of the ease but the Judge ruled that the defence must be »ut in. Mr. Mitchell claimed that the Jsudge ruled that the defence must be put in. Mr. Mitchell elaimed that the most that could ‘be said was that his client had ‘been unwise in the matter, but in the face of the evidence he thought any suggestion of theft was fully disproved. Crown Attorney Smi< ley said that the evidence showed that at one time the defendant had brought up‘ the matter of disposing of th> goods to the attention of Mr. H. L. (Glendinning, manager of the Relief Committee and that he made the state ment then that Mr. Glendinuing might wake up some morning to find the goods gone. Judge Hartman said he was by no means satisfied of any uilty intent, but thought the hearing of the defence might clear up some points so the case was proceeded with. The evidence in the case in full w o uld take up several newspaper pages, and as the two sides hold very decided views as to the reaumg ot the facts, it is difficult to give a summary. The following, however, may be taken as a fair review of the incidents leadâ€" ing up to the case. The Red Cross sent up a large quantity of goods for the fire sufferers last October and some of the goods were stored in the Chamâ€" bersâ€"Ferland warehouse. Mr. Adam Davis, as reptesentative of the ‘KHed Cross, took a very active interest in relief work and eceoâ€"operated with the war could believe he would do anyâ€" ing wrong with goods for the fire Sufferers, and all will ‘be pleased that the outcome of the case freed him from the charges. UrOoss,, very iHLCLCSE jA relief work and coâ€"operated with the Relief Committee. Eventually he was employed on salary of $200.00 per month to look after the work. When the new Fire Relief Committee took over the work the services of Mr. Daâ€" vis were dispensged with, but he still showed interest in the work. A quanâ€" tity of goods in the warehouse trouwblâ€" ed Mr. Davis, on ac¢eount of the danâ€" zer of loss by ffire or burglary, there being no watchman at the duilding. These goods had not been given out as they were considered unsuitable for the needs,. Mr. Davis wanted to sell them, and suggested this idea to Mr. (Hilendinning, manager of the Relief Committee. (Mr. Glendinning seemed dowbtful as to whether it would be well to‘disposé of the goods as rags. Mr. Davis took the goods and sold them to a rag dealer for $100.00 for the car, the cheque to be turned over to the (Red Cross or the Relief Comâ€" mittee. Mr. Davis had no intention of cashing the cheque himself and had made no attempt to do so. In the meantime, charges were laid against Mr. Davis.

With the arrival of ssedâ€"time the majority of farmers will have nothing to remind them that they once had a set of implements for they o1 land e dehbris, land eultivation but a pile of twisted dehris, so that the problem of procurâ€" inz a supply of suitable machinery which the farmers may purchase on reasonably easy terms has. been one of the first importance with the comâ€" mittee. Machinery has already (been in motion toward this énd for some weeks, the scheme tbeing to replace the implements lost by purchasing from the manufacturers in Jarge quantities at a favorable rate, and carrying the farmers along until 1925 when payâ€" ments may ‘be made without interest. A similar plan is being arranged in connection with the seed grain supply, thougzh less time is beine allowed for A similar plan is being arranged in connection with the seed grain supply, though less time is being allowed for payment. The seed will probably all be purchased in Temiskaming, a plenâ€" tiful supply of high quality being available in the unaffected farming avarla@oie in thie unafigéecled Tarming sections. Capital for the farmers to rebuild their barns and other buildings is also urgently needed, but no definite plans have yet been worked out along this line. If a form of long term loans could be arranged, it would no doubt fill the hill. WThere could ibe an option inserted in the loan agreement allowâ€" ing » of full reâ€"payment should the farmer at any time before maturity find himself in a position to take up the loan.
