SCHUMACHER NEW CANADIAN CHEESE GEORGIAN BAY BUTTER SEEDLESS RAISINS PIONEER TEA A delicious blend pleaded guilty, but her plea was not admitted by Mr. Justice McEvoy, who immediately charged a special jury to decide on her fitness to stand Giving evidence before the grand jury, Dr. A. E. Ranney stated that in his opinion the girl was mentally deâ€" ranged. He added that, if placed under proper guardianship and care she might be able to take her place in soâ€" ciety. Dr. English, superintendent of the hospital for the insane at Brockville, Ont., after being granted permission by His Lordship to examine the girl stated that he found her to be suffering from mental trouble. Dr. S. J. W. Horne, of the mental institute at Orillia, testified that after examination of the girl, he found her feeble minded. Dr. R. C. Montgomery, Whitby, Ont., also found the girl to be mentally defective. Concurring strongly with the expert evidence, were the actions of the girl herself throughout the trial. The awâ€" ful situation in which she was placed seemed to affect her not in the least Only when her glance would rest on her father, brother and sister, who were in the court, would come an exâ€" pression of remorse. Following the report of the special jury, Mr. Justice McEvoy directed that the girl would remain in custody to await the pleasure of the lieutenant governor of the provice until it has been decided to what institution she will be committed. Any plea that the girl made was ruled out by the presiâ€" ding judge. The court room was crowded long beâ€" fore the opening hour at one o‘clock and many were unable to gain admitâ€" tance. One womar, so disappointed, was heard to remark that if she had known that there was going to be such a crowd, she would have left the dishes and other house work, which she had diligently performed, take care of themselves until after the trial. The court opened with a long inâ€" struction to the grand jury by the preâ€" siding judge, Mr. Justice McEvoy, in THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO which the meaning of the word murder was explained. If the girl did kill her mother and meant to do so, a true bill should be brought in, he said. The jury was also instructed that if the girl struck her mother and did not mean to kill her even if she did not méan to do so, that also was murder, the judge directed. The judge‘s charge concluded, J. H. McDonald, for the defence, asked that Dr. Walter M. English, a member of the staff of the Ontario Hospital for the Insane at Brockville, be allowed to examine the prisoner. Immediately an objection was raised by special Crown Prosecutor, George M. Miller, of Sudâ€" bury. Mr. Miller said that the girl had already been examined by two alienists under the direction of the Attorney General of the province and that their report would be at the disposal of the defence, it was his opinion that the Attorney General would object to furâ€" ther examination. Ruling on the objection was made by Justice McEvoy, who felt that there would be no objection on the part of the Attorney General if he were aware of the situation. He accordingly issued that an examination be made without undue delay. Te grand jury returned to the court and announced that they had found a true bill against the accused who was brought in. The girl pleaded guilty to the charge but this plea was later ruled out. A. B. Curry, for the defence, raised the question of the girl‘s fitness on acâ€" count of her mental condition to stand trial. His request was granted and a special jury was empanelled from the petit jury to pass on the girl‘s menâ€" tality. Dr. A. Ranney was the first witness called. He had examined the girl folâ€" lowing the preliminary hearing. He found her mentally deficient with mental age of slightly more than nine years and certainly unfitted to stand trial on the charge preferred against her. With rl:oper care and surroundâ€" ings he felt that the girl might recover from her present mental condition. Dr. S. J. Horne, of the Orillia Instiâ€" tution of the Feeble Minded, related to the jury the result of his examination of the girl on the morning of Sunday, March 30. He had applied all the tests used in his institution and as a result found that the girl, although in age 15 years, had only the mental capacity of a child of 10 years and five months. He did not expect that the girl would ever possess normal mentality. He considered her unfit to stand trial at the present time. Dr. Robert C. Montgomery, of Whitby Institution who had had long experâ€" ience with persons afflicted with mental diseases, told the jury that as result of examination that he made of the girl, he concurred with the findings of the other alienists. Dr. Walter M. English, of Brockville, who made his examination in the afâ€" terncon, stated that the girl would not realize the seriousness of her actions; consequently, under the prevailing conâ€" ditions of her mind, he thought her very unfit to stand trial. _ He placed her mental age at 10 years, two months. Following the report of the expert witnesses, Justice McEvoy addressed the jury. He referred to the crime of which the girl was charged as a terâ€" rible thing, but he emphasized the reâ€" ports of the alienists, who through long experience were fully capable of passâ€" ing on the girl‘s mental condition. Further, they were men of high integâ€" rity. The Judge made it clear that the issue was whether the girl was fit to stand trial or not. Following the direction of the bench, the special jury retired, and, after beâ€" ing out for 15 minutes, returned with the verdict that the accused was unfit to stand trial on account of her inâ€" ONE OF THE VERY BEST SHOWS SEEN IN TIMMINS RECENTLY The feature shown at the Goldfields the first three days of the week, "They Had to See Paris," is such a specially good show that it deserves this special note. It is generally agreed to be one of the best talkies ever presented here. It is clean, bright, laughâ€"provoking and yet with an attractive philosorthy runâ€" ning through it. It need not be set down as a picture that creates roars of laughter, but rather as one that keeps a continual ripple of chuckles going over the audience. And its humorisms and wit will be remembered. Moreâ€" over, it leaves a good taste in the mouth. It is a standing proof of the fact that a good show, a popular show, does not need to be based or anything questionable. A prim man could take his daughter or his motherâ€"inâ€"law to this picture and they would both have a good hearty, friendly laugh, an:? something to think about afterwards. The play itself is not remarkably oriâ€" ginal or startling, though it is all right. But the acting is specially good, as might be expected from a cast includâ€" ing ‘Will Rogers, Marguerite Churchill, Irene Rich and Fifi Dorsay. Will Roâ€" gers made a great hit in this number here. "They Had to See Paris" has the sequel, "They Had to See "They Had to See Paris‘."‘ North Bay‘s tax rate this year will be 54.5 mills for pluiblic school supportâ€" ers and 57 mills for separate ‘school supporters. The public school rate is the same as last year, while the separâ€" ate school rate is up a mill and a half.

TIMMINS H.S. BASKETBALL TEAM WINS PATTON TROPHY Make 16â€"5 Victory at North Bay. Won Cup Emblematic of Northern Ontario Collegiate Championâ€" ship in Basketbafl. A despatch on Monday from North Bay gives the following report of the game on Saturday:â€" "Timmins High School made an ausâ€" picious entrance into the Patton Cup games for the boys‘ Northern title when they scored an impressive 16â€"5 victory over the North Bay Colegiate team here Saturday night. As a result of their victory they took the Patton Cup, recently won from Sudbury by the local school back to the "Gold Town" with them. On their showing â€" Saturday night, they will withstand challengers for some time to come. The visitors showed a clever well drilled team and though their margin of play was not as oneâ€"sided as the score indicates they clearly outplayed the local team and deserved the prize. â€" "Special floor roots were in operation for the important tussle and North Bay seemed lost on its own floor. They were only able to score a basket and that in the dying minutes of the game, the other three points coming from foul throws. Timmins were good in every position, with a fast, clever and accuâ€" rate shooting forward line backed by a strong defence while their system of attack had North Bay baffled. "Captain Jack Leng, was the star of the visitors, with Dainton pressing him closely for premier honours. All the local players gave their best to overâ€" come the long lead but their oppoâ€" nents were just too much for them. The lineâ€"ups: W. Shields .. J. Leng ....... R. Dainton .. wW. Paice ......

Proâ€" bably, instead of making comparisons iin this way between the two teams it might be better to point out that both teams did remarkably good shooting and deserve full credit for this. Totals Schumacher Timmins I N. 0. TELEPHONE LINE TO BF BUILT TO HEARST Hearst People to Have Telephone serâ€" vice from Northern Telephone Co., as Well as Long Distance Through the T. N. O. sSystem. According to announcements made last week at North Bay it has been deâ€" cided to extend the T. N. O. long disâ€" tance telephone line from Kapuskasing to Hearst, a distance of 60 miles. This decision followed a conference between Geo. W. Lee, chairman of the T. , N. O. Railway Commission, W. H. Maund, secretary, these two gentlemen repreâ€" senting the T. N. O. and officials of the Northern Telephone Co. The conâ€" ference was held at New Liskeard.. The conference, according: to the‘reâ€" ports, concerned the general telepghone situation in Northern Ontario ‘ and, from these deliberations, developed the decision to yirovide the residents of Hearst and vicinity with the means of telephone communication with other parts of the province. The Northern Telephone Company ‘will provide local puone facilities in Hearst and throughâ€" out twenty townships for the benefit of the settlers The long distance conâ€" nection will afford telephone facilities with Kapuskasing, Cochrane and other points along the T. N. O., and with North Bay and Toronto. It will be over a through copphr circuit. Hitherto the people of Hearst and district have been without the advanâ€" tages of telephone service. Accordingâ€" ly, they have been in a more or less isolated position which the new arâ€" rangement will overcome. They will have Northern Telephone Co. service for their local needs, and they will have firstâ€"class long _ distance service through the T. N. o. telephone sysâ€" tem. It is understood that the T. N. O. will start construction work on the sixâ€" tyâ€"mill extension from Kapuskasing to Hearst at an early date and that the work will be rushed through to comâ€" pletion. Work, it is said, will be openâ€" ed up on the extension just as soon As tenders can be secured and considered. The cost of the T. N. O. extension of the telephone service from Kapuskasâ€" ing to Hearst is estimated at $100,000, The sanction of Premier Ferguson to this expenditure has been given and this shows once more the very close interest that the premier takes in any and every measure for benefit of each and every section of this North Land.
