Constable Desroche of the town force and Robert Allen had been present when the arrests were made. A search of premises at 28 Second The evidence of Chief McInnis, Serâ€" geant Fulton and Constable Wood of the Tisdale police and R. Allien of Timmins was to the effect that Patusâ€" kas had been szen to throw a bundle into the bushes just as the officers apâ€" proached to arrest him. He was just coming to Timmins from the Goniauâ€" rum at the time. A bottle of acid, such as highâ€"zraders use when on buying trips, was found on his person, the witâ€" nesss said.

The value of the goid found in his possession was $87.64, A. C. Estelle, McIntyre assayer, said. Chief Paul and Deputy Chief Salley stated that through information reâ€" ceived they had arrested Maloche on Wilson avenue on the 16th and had found the native gold wrapped in newsâ€" paper in his pocket. Pierre hag told him to call at his home the following evening. When Maloche came to the house, Allen was there and overheard the conversacion, it was stated. Mr. Allen, on the stand, quesâ€" tioned by Dean Kester, defence counsel, said that the conversation was in French and he had not understcod what the two were talking about. Claims He Found It Maluche, in the witness box, told of coming off a three o‘clock shift one day and finding a cigarette tin nsar the railway track. He did not know what the material contained was, he said, but went to St. Pierre as an old friend angq a prospector, asking if he could tell him what it was. Pierre had told him to call at his house that night and he would tost it. He had not known thas Pierre was a detective, he said. He was taking it back to St. Pierre for examination when he was arrested. Both the police and assayer admitted that they could not state definitely whether the substance was gold or not by simply examining it. The jury very promptly returned a verdict of not guilty. Judge J. B. T. Caron, who has given them their inâ€" structions before they left the court room, was somewhat dissatisfied with the jury‘s action and told them so in no uncertain terms. $200, were found in the car at Goulet‘s feet.

Caron after a jury had brought in a verdict of "gullty" to a charge of highâ€" grading. Pierre St. Pierre, also a crown witâ€" ness, told the court that he had been by Robert Allen as a detecâ€" tive. Maloche had approached him, he said, and offered to sell some gold. A search of premises at 28 Second avenue, which was connected with G:yuâ€" let, had revealed a glass jar nearly full of buttons buried under the sawdust. Total value of the metal was $1130. Fred J.

Mild and Foggy. A diffcrence of temperature of 46 deâ€" grees within three qays since Thursâ€" day shows once more the vagaries of winter weather in the North. While the month began with plenty of subâ€"zer weather, it switched suddenly late Satâ€" urday to fog, rain, and overcast skies. That murky condition should last anâ€" other day or so at least, the weatherâ€" man said this morning. Timmins may expect more fog, rain or wet snow, and mild temperatures. Although it‘s hard to tell yet, the mild, unâ€"Christmaslike weather should be broken within the week. s Judges:â€"H. Huckabone, J.

Thus the cclebration held by more than 200 people in the Polish hall on Sixth avenue was really a triple one. Mr. Jalkanen, who was in the Finnisk consulate in New York for four years before coming to Montreal was the guest of honour. He brought a message of great interest to the Timmins Finâ€" nish community for he told of condiâ€" tions in the new republic; conditions that few local people have been able to see, so long have they been away from the homeland. Economically, the country is doing well, although progress must necessarily be slow on account of world conditions. Finlang as a nation, is better off now than it ever was beâ€" fore, Mr. Jalkanen told the audisnce. Agriculture, lumbering and fishing, the main industries of the country, are all The first visit in the history of the Porcupine of a Finnish consulâ€"general was heralded by.the Finnish pesple of the district on Friday night when A. J. Jalkanen arrived here. The day of his arrival, December 6th, is a great one in the annals of Finnish history for it was on that day in 1918 that Finlang became an independent nation. The week is made more memorâ€" aole because within it occurs the birthâ€" day of one of the world‘s greatest comâ€" posers, Sibelius, who now lives in reâ€" tirement in Finland, a man 70 years of age. Most of the grownâ€"ups in the district have at one time or ancther seen that hilarious comedy, "Charley‘s Aunt." Most of them have gone again and again to see the play and now they all have another chanc>. This time it is being played h.re by local talent, trainâ€" ed for weeks by one who has taken the big part on hundreds of occasions. The famous "Dumbells" at one timg took it upon themselves to feature some of the famous comedies. All will remember them in "HM.S. Pinafore," and later in "Charliy‘s Aunt." Mr. Fred Weedâ€" on was a popular member of. both casts and his portrayal of the major part of the big show next Thursday and FPriday will add much to the work of the exâ€" cellent cast picked for the play. Those taking part locally are Messrs W. Docton, F. Curtis, G. Gray, S. Kreâ€" myr, G. Ribout and Mesdamss Gregson, Webb and the Lockris Sisters. Much could be written about the comedy, and those who have never seen this play should not miss seeing it Thursday or Friday. The Church of the Nativity parish hall will be the scene of the laughing throngs, and crowded houses are practically assured. Read the advyt. elsewhere. Plan for a hearty laugh all cvening.

Duranceau for Defence The formality of passing sentence occupled only a few minutes at ten ‘o‘clock this morning. In the absence of |wW. F. Schroeder, of Ottawa, chief Free and Progressive Since the dawn of history, Finland has been dominatsd by one or other of her more powerful neighbours, Russia or Sweden. Toâ€"day she is free, proâ€" gressive and will soon be prosperous. being carefully nurtured. Relations with Great Britain, United States and Canaâ€" da are so friendly that a knowledge of the English language will soon be comâ€" pulsory for all students in the schools, it is expected. While in Timmins, Mr. Jalkanen was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Leeman at 16 Elm street north. The programme Gduring the evening included a group of numbers by the choir under the leadership of Miss Esther Leeman; songs by Miss Ruth Koski and Mrs. Maki; songs by a male chorus; stories and poems. Mrs. Maki‘s song was one for which Sibelius is well known, "Isanmaalle." Sibelius, honoured by all the world, has been one of Finland‘s greater gifts to the fine arts. His "Finlandia" is perhaps best known and was heard time and again over the air yesterday as North America marked the 70th birthday of the great man. He has been signally honoured by the King through the presentation of a gold medal for his accomplishments. Miss Gertrude Doherty was a rteâ€" cent visitor to Englenart. Henry Perreault, Jr., will serve a term of three years in Portsmouth penitenâ€" tiary for his part in the relief payroll frauds perpstrated on the town of Timmins in which more than $15,000 was wrongfully diverted, Judge T. B. J. Caron told the young Timmins man this morning at ten o‘clock. He will begin serving his sentence immediately. Restitution made by Perreault was for a small amount, it is lsarned. The Mattagami and Subway service staâ€" tions will both be transferred to the town, as will Perreault‘s home. Mortâ€" gages‘ against these three properties make a total of $8200, so that there would be no great amount left over from a sale of the properties, it is unâ€" derstood. Against the house are two mortgages, one for $3500 and the other for $2000; against Perreault‘s property as a whole there is another mortgagse of $2700. Former Assistant Clerk Sentenced this Morning Perreault Turns Over Two Service Stations and Home, but Mortgages Against These Reduce Restitution to Small Amount. Mortgages Said to Total $8,200 on the Three Properties. Where the gold got to or who would have had nerve enough to stap through the court barrier and steal the precious metal from the table while court was adjourned for a few minutes is as yet unknown. Provincial police are working on the case but have little to go on other than the fact that any one of a hundred people in the court immediateâ€" ly before the adjournment had about the same opportunity to make off with it. Altogether the relieof frauds have brought sentences totalling four years and a half, since Romeo DeLuca was sentenced to 18 months in reformatory last week for his part in the ocmplex system through which the town, the provincial government and the federal government lost an amount of money estimated to be between $15,000 and $17,000. Four hundred dollars in almost pure gold mysteriously disappeared from the barrister‘s table at the Cochrans sesâ€" sions on Friday. It was part of the evidence in ‘the case against Arthur Goulet, now convicted highâ€"grader. counsel for the defence and Osias Sauve, of Timmins, his assistant, J. A. A. Duranceau, of Cochrans, acted for Perreault this morning. Crown Atâ€" vorney S. A. Caldbick represented the crown, Dean Kester, the town‘s atâ€" torney, having returned here on Saturâ€" day. This morning brought to a close a long session of the general sessions of the peace which began almost two weeks ago., An assault case, the town frauds case and four hignâ€"grading cases made up the docket for the fall sessions. G old Buttons Connected with Highâ€"grading Case Disappear During Trial and Still Lost. The gold was in the form of "butâ€" tons"â€"large flat circular pisces which had been smelted down from highâ€" grade ore of Porcupine mines. It came safely through two police court sessions in Timmins even though it was hanâ€" dleq by a large number of people. The loss was not immediately disâ€" covered. When court went into session again, it was naturally supposed that some one had put them away for siafeâ€" keeping. Some one undoubtedly didâ€"â€" but not for the benefit of the governâ€"., ment or the crown. The $400 in gold is gone and has by this probably been so much altereq in shape as to be unâ€" recognizable. $400 Gold Exhibits Lost in Court Room The next morning (Saturday) followâ€" ing the discovery of the loss, hurried questioning of those who might know something of the whereabouts of the metal revealed that no official knew. Receiving word on Saturday that his father was critically ill, Osias Sauve, Timmins lawyer, left immediately for his father‘s home in Ottawa. Mr. Sauve arrived in the city on Sunday shortly before his father‘s death. Odinon Sauve was a man 72 years of age and haq been citizen of Ottawa for 21 years. For many years he operatâ€" ed a successful busin‘ss there but reâ€" tired a few years ago from active parâ€" ticipation in it. No Definite Decision Made as to Recount The question of whether or not there will be a recount of the ballots cast in the mayoralty contest in Timmins during the election of December 2nd has not yet been definitely decided, Dr. J, A., McInnis told The Advance toâ€"day. Mr. Sauve Bereaved by Death of Father at Ottawa. FPuneral services are being held toâ€" morrow. It is expectéd that some definite deâ€" cision will be made within the next few days.
