Savard‘s life is still in danger, it is said. ‘There was a preliminary hearing which included the taking of evidence from Savard at the hospital. There is a chance that serious perâ€" manent injury or death may result from Savard‘s present condition, Dr. 5. J. Jessel told the court. Within a month it will be possible to tell just what the outcome will be. Lapratt Pleads Not Guilty Lapratt pleaded not guilty to the assault, said to have occurred on the highway near Barber‘s Bay at about tenâ€"thirty on the night of August 31. "How come, when I gave you money to buy gas to take my stuff home?" Savard said he asked Lapratt. Then Savard admitted, he got mad and swore at Lapratt. The two got out of the truck and there was a dispute. Laâ€" pratt had a crank in his hand. Alleges Threat on Life "I want to kill you," are the words Savard says Lapratt used. "Are you crazy?" Savard asked. "When I saw he meant something I started to run away, wbout 75 feet," the injured man continued. *"*We both turned around and went back to the truck. I wanted to take my groceries out and put them alongside the road. I asked the old man to push my groâ€" ceries=off the truck." ‘The truck in which the three men, Lapratt, Savard, and C.

This time the charge was stealing a pay cheque from G. Biaunchet, employee of the Delnite mine. Other convictions were for theft, breaking and entering, and forâ€" Skladen protested he was innocent. "There must be some mistake," said he when Mr. Kleinman identified him as the man who had tried to cash the $43.85 cheque at Friedman‘s store on August 26th. Said It Was His Cheque "There‘s no mistake at all," Kleinâ€" Said It Was His Cheque "There‘s no mistake at all," Kleinâ€" man told the magistrate, "he spoke to me for about 20 minutes. It was on A Wednesday near closing time. I askâ€" ed him to come to the bank with me. When we got to the bank door, he ran away." The man had said it wWas away.‘ ‘Ihne man Nnad Sald 11L â€"WASs his own cheque. Skladen insisted he had never had the cheque, had never been to the store and had never seen the man. He admitted all his previous convictions but said he had a "good job now at the mine." He was caught by police through an accurate description given of him by a woman who had seen him peeking in the window of her home one night. | Bianchet, the man who had lost the: cheque. said he had nev@er seen Sklaâ€" den around the Delonite at all. On August 23rd he had left his pay cheque, and his purse, containing $2.50 in his pants in one of the bunkhouses at the Delnite. All had been stolen. The one produced in evidence was certainâ€" ly his pay cheque, Bianchet said, but he had not endorsed it. He will get a new one. Skladen was dismissed on the charge of "peeking." The woman who had identifiscd him as the man who had been hanging around Elm street south did not appear. "What am I going to do?" asked the magistrate.~"There‘s no evidence." That charge was dismissed. Mos(s Bail Set at $1,000 Albert Moses who appeared on a charge of arson, was remanded a week on the request of Dean Kester, K.C., who said he had been consulted just morning and was »not prepared to proceed. Mr. Caldbick explained that Moses had just been arrested the previous day ‘but that since he had been a reâ€" sident here for many years, only a small amount of bail â€"$25â€"was askâ€" ed. But if there was to be a remand, he asked that bail be increased. $25 and costs and the Pauff place was made pubslic for a year, "If they don‘t think enough of it to come here and give evidence, T‘ll let him go." said the magistrate when the chief witness in another "peeking" case Mr. Kester agreed that if there was anything behind the charge, the bail was certainly small. In the end Nick Ferris and S. Habib went bail of $500 each and Moses was bound over in the sum of $1,000. Assaulted Roommate Thomas Vilgus paid a fine of $10 and costs for assaulting Edward Molâ€" lar on September 20th. Mollar said he had received his pay check on Satâ€" urday and had told his roommate, Vilgus, that he would not be back unâ€" til the following day. When he did return Vilgus had greeted him with the question: "Where‘s my $10.75?" "He accused me of robbery," said Mollar. "He kicked me all over the back. My face and ears are marked. I didn‘t defend@ myself at all." Leo Biegia, occupant of a neighbourâ€" ing room, heard the scrap and went over, "kind of parted them," and went back to his own room.
