Paul was the first witness for the prosecution. He had arrested Aho in the beverage room beâ€" tween 11 anq 12 o‘clock, he said, after having seen the man outside on the istreet, staggering and falling down on lthe sidewalk. He and Deputy Chief Salâ€" ley had been in the patrol car at the time when they first saw Aho but had ‘been unable to get out of the deep ruts on Cedar street. They had driven to the corner of Third, turned around and when they arrived back at the Interâ€" national, Aho had disappeared. After ‘a search, they found him seated at a ‘Lable in the hotel and promptly arrestâ€" ‘ed both him and the waiter. "Was he drunk?" asked Mr. Caldbick. "In my estimation he was drunk."

This, Magistrate Atkm.son said, seemâ€" ed a strange performance. "Your worship," A. C. Browhn, deâ€" fence counsel, explained, "it was only a toy gun. It didn‘t even have a trigger on it." "Don‘t make a fool of yourself any more," the magistrate saigq to Thompsâ€" son. "Dismissed." Two Hours To Convict Drunk The big case of the day appeared on the surface to be the trial of a drunk. Victor Aho was arrested in the Interâ€" national hotel on March 3ist and was charged with being drunk. The hearing, twice adjourned, occupied nearly two soliq hours. In the end Aho paid a $10 and costs fine. During those two hours some harsh words were spoken on all sides. It was an important case, since on it the charge against A. H. Munro, International hotel beverage room waitâ€" er charged with supplying liquor to an intoxicated person appeared to depend. As it turned out, the court decideq that thr evidence was insufficient to show that Aho had conducted himself in the beverage rcom in such a manner that Munro would know he was drunk. A charge of an attempt at armed robbery in a local hotel brought specâ€" tators at Tuesday‘s police court up with a start. A revolver, ‘twas said, had been flourisheq before a Timmins citizen and a demand made for money. Alex Lefebvre took the witness stand. Last Thursday night he was in a hotel when one Sam Thompson came along and asked him for money. "I told him I hadn‘t any," saigqg the witness. "He pulled out a revolver and ‘showed‘ it to me and I put my hand on it." "What do you mean you put your hand on it?" asked Crown Attorney S. A. Caldbick. "I pushed it away." "Diq the man say anything?" "No." "After you pushed the revolver away, ion? "By his spsech, actions, mode of walking and the smell of his breath." "What did his breath smell of?" "Alcohol." Dr. Matheson had done the examinâ€" ing of Aho but had left Timmins for Kingston shortly afterwards. Although summoned â€"to appear in Timmins court yesterday, he did not., The chief of police at Kingston advised that he haqg left on a motor trip a few days beâ€" fore the summons arrived in that city Deputy Chief Salley had besn with the chief. He corroborated his superior‘s evidence. *"He was intoxicated," Mr. Salley replied to a quscstion from the crown attorney. "Who suggested t amine Aho?" "No one. There was "What time did you arrest asked Mr. Kester. "At 11.05." in Crown Criticizes Counsel Mr. Caldbick interrupted at this point. "Why all these insinuationsâ€" this getting the ‘truth‘ out by tortureâ€" it‘s ridiculous procedure, I think." "Of all the evasions I‘ve ever heard, this is the best," replied Mr. Kester. The arrest sheet was produced and ater." Both men had been placed in the ‘ells shortly after the arrests. at did he do?" He put it in his pocket and went What time was the doctor called? About an hour ang a half later. Who was it asked for the doctor? I don‘t know." Did Munro ask you?" Munro came herse and said there s a doctor on the way." Did either Munro or Aho ask you doctor to examine Aho?" No ho admitted him to bail?" don‘t know. I have no record of The JJorcupine Mopsutre Pablished at Timmins, Ont., Canada, MONDAY and THURSDAY dostor brought "The mystery‘s getting so great I‘m beginning to forget I have a man charged with being drunk," commented his worship. "I don‘t think your worship will forâ€" get that," said Mr. Kester. ‘"‘Then let‘s get on with it." Refused Aho Beer Before Munro, called to the stand by the defence, asked the protection of the court. This was granted. It was pay day when Aho was in the hotel, the waiter said. "What time did Aho come in?" "About a quarter after eleven." "Have you ever refusd him beer before?" "Yes, I have?" "Why?" "Because I thought he‘d had enough." "Why did you give it to him this night?" "Because he appearcd to be all right." He had been bailed out about midâ€" night, he said. "Did you have any other conversaâ€" tion with the police before getting bail?"

News of the sudden death in Val d‘Or, in the Quebec mining area, of Walter Gillard, former resident of Coâ€" balt, was received this week at Cobalt. Mr. Gillard succumbed to a heart atâ€" tack on Saturday, it was stated. His son, Walter, Jr., of Toronto, has gone to Val d‘Or to make arrangements for his father‘s funeral, which is expected to take place in Toronto. Mr. Gillard, an Englishman by ‘birth, had lived in Canada for many years. In the earlier days of Cobalt he was employed at the Buffalo mine and on his return from the World War, in which he served with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, he was with the Mining Corporation of Can@da both at Cobalt and at the Ashâ€" ley property of that company in Mataâ€" chewan. Besides his son, he is survived by his widow and a daughter, Mrs. J. Gariepy, who lives in Quebec.

How popular the Marx Brothers are with the youth of Timmins was evident one afternoon this week when a queue stretcheq from the main doors of the Palace nearly a block along Third aveâ€" nue and south on Cedar strest to the Windsor hotel. As the long line moved steadily and quickly into the theatre under the watchful eye of police officers spectaâ€" tors were heard to remark how much more efficient, orderly and safe was the queue than the usual jamming about the theatre doors that so often occurs when a popular show comes to town.
