Under cross examination by Dean Kester, attorney f@r Boileau, the chief said he was in uniform at the time. A sketch of the gatehouse, the chief‘s office and the surroundings was proâ€" duced and after some alterations, filed.

"I Got It Myself" The chief explained that there was an agreement at the mine made some time ago when it was supposed by many that men were being fired withâ€" out due cause, that no one would ever be fired on someone else‘s sayâ€"so. "From that has arisen the custom that we satisfy ourselves tbeyond any reasâ€" onable doubt that no injustice is being done." ‘Where‘d you get this stuff from?‘ and he said ‘I got it under the mills.‘ I said ‘I tell you, Boilleau, I don‘t think you got it yourself.‘ ‘*Yes I did, I got it myself,‘" he said." Boileau insisted that there was no one else in with him. "He said he‘d take the rap himself," the chief told the court.

Producing the sealed bags containing the stuff found on Boileau, Mr. Caldâ€" bick asked: "Can you tell by looking Aat it what this stuffl is?" "Yes, on the floor under the mills." Continuing in his description, Mr. Dodge said: "When the floor is washed down the concentrates run to elevatofrs which carry them up to the classifiers above. The concentrates may collect around the boots of these elevators. These are the prinipal places where these highâ€"grade concentrates may be found." over The t nine total On being further questioned about the conversation between himself and Boileau, the chief asked: "I asked him, The town police had then been told of the charge that was to be laid and Boileau was locked up. The concentrate had been taken to Mr. Dodge for asâ€" saying, and in the presence of the chief, the bags had been sealed, iniâ€" tialed and placed in the Hollinger safe. "Did you know at the time what it was?" asked Mr. Caldbick. "Me‘d Take the Rap" "I knew it was gold concentrate." The chief had telephoned Mr. Hogarth, secretary of Hollinger Consolidated, anq Mr. Wohlrab, assistant manager. He cautioned the man that anything he said might be taken down in writing and used against him. "He‘d take the rap, he told me," the chief said. "He‘d got it himself under the mills." 8. A. Caldbick. Boileau had stepped out of the gatehouse and the Chief had asked him to come into his office, which adjoins the gatehouse. "I told him I was going to search him and that he was to lay everything in his pockets on the table. He threw out a few perâ€" sonal things. ‘Is that all you got?‘ I askeq him. He hesitated then reached inside his shirt, took cut a little cloth bag and dropped it on the table and said, ‘I got some stuff.‘ I said ‘If you‘ve got any more you‘d better produce it. I‘m going to search you to the skin.‘ Then he produced eight other similar bags."

Thachuk was arrested by the Sudbury police on a warrant isâ€" sued by the Quebec provincial police, it is said, and an escort was expected to come for him on Saturday last. In the meantime the writ of habeas corâ€" pus was applied for and the hearing was to be ‘before Judge Edmund Proulx on Monday morning. According to the Sudbury despatches Police Maâ€" gistrate McKessock said that the acâ€" sused would be turned over to the Queâ€" bec police escort when he arrived as the writ did not apply in such a case. J, A. Lauzon, solicitor for Thachuk, appeared in police court in the matter and was supported by Joe Billings, wellâ€"known communist organizer. Mr. Lauzon claimed that the writ of habeas sorpus would come before Judge Proulx Jn Monday. "I declare that Thachuk is not properly in custody," said Mr. Lauâ€" zon, who contended that the arrest had been made on the strength of a letter from the provincial police at Rouyn An unusual story for recent years comes from Port Arthur, telling that rowdies wrecked the beverags room of the Morin hotel at Geraldton last week, smashing furniture and glasses and making it necessary to close the preâ€" mists. The hotel is owned by D. M. Morin, of Sudbury, and has been well known as a wellâ€"conducted establishâ€" ment. So far as can be learned the trouble seems to be that it was too well conducted to suit the rowdy element. The trouble broke cut when the hotel doors were closed at 11 p.m. The next day the gang again took possession of the beveragse room. Windows were smasheq by flying missiles, but no one was injured. There were no less than 70 glasses smashed, while 15 tables and a number of chairs were broken up. The provincial police have investigated the affair and a report has been sent by them to Toronto.

It is expected that she will recover, but there is little doubt that had it not been for the care extended by the hospital the girl would soon have followed her baâ€" bies in death. d i¢ In From Toronto this week comes a traâ€" gic story of the plight of a Sudbury girl in the city of Toronto, due to the inhumanity of some heartless man who deserted her in time of need. The auâ€" thorities very properly withheld the girl‘s name, as she may recover, and so will not have the additional burden of publicity to contend with in her battle to rehabilitate herself. According to the story told by the Sudbury girl to the authorities at St. Michael‘s hospital, the man responsible for her condition deâ€" serted her in Sudbury after promising to marry her. She was left destitute to face her parents alone, and evidently did not receive much help from them. Consta®le James Wilson, of the Port Arihur police force, was shot in the abâ€" domen and critically wounded while attempting to make an arrest this week. The constable was with two other offiâ€" cers when they noticed three men actâ€" ing suspiciously around a grocery store at the hour of three in the morning. When attempt was made to question the three men they took to their hesls. The officers gave chase and two of the tri0 were caught and held. These two were Frank and Tony Kokani. Conâ€" stable Wilson succeeded in catching the third one but in a struggle with him the officer was shot in the abdomen and forced to release his hold on the man. The constable managed to crawl to the police car where he was given assisâ€" tance and then hurried to the hospital. It was found that he was much weakâ€" ened by loss of blood and his condition is reported as serious. John Kokani is believed to be the third man of the trio anq a warrant was issued at once for his arrest, the provincial police as well as the city police making effort to reâ€" capture him.
