Platus, relieving magistrate for / this district, sat through the regular weekâ€" ly police court in Timmins on Tuesday and handled the session in able way. ‘The docket was a lengthy one but most of the cases were settled before court opened and by the time the session got under way there were six cases to be heard. Three of the six were sentâ€" enced to jail terms when they pleaded guilty while the other three were sentâ€" enced after they had been found guilty of the charges against them. Three of the men sentenced.to jJail terms were Frank Ash. Napoleon Bolâ€" duec and Emile Nadeauy, who all pleaded guilty to drunk driving. charges. They all received the customary term of ten days in jJail and had their licenses canâ€" celled for SX months besides having their cars impounded for three months.

Edward Journealu, sixtyâ€"sevenâ€"yearâ€" T hree Drunk Drivers are Given Jail Terms and Bootlegger Convicted Edward Journealu, _ old Timmins man, living at 41 Wilson avenue, again appeared in court to answer a charge of supplying beer to an interdicted person and pleaded not guilty. However, after »considerable evidence was taken, he was found guilty and fined fifteen dollars and costs. He paid the fine. Last week Mr. Journealu paid fifty dollars to the court when he lost the bail that he had put up for the woman who had been drinking the beer when the police arrived. This week‘s fine boosted his ‘expenses to more than eighty dollars. Sergeant Albert Lepic testified that he and Constable Vic Belanger had received information that an interâ€" dicted person was consuming beer at Journeau‘s home so they paid him ? visit.

In the bedâ€" room they noticed Mrs. Armelin Chenâ€" ier. a woman whose name was on the interdicted list, and another â€"woman whom they did not know so they went in to investigate.

In summing up for the defence, Mr. J. E. Laccourciere suggested that the police should have called Mrs. Chenier as a witness because she could have told them where the beer was. He suggested that she would have been the best witness the police could have produced. He then added that Mrs. Chenier had, taken the. beer .without Journeau‘s ‘permission or knowledge and he could hardly be blamed. Actingâ€"Magistrate Platus disagreed, however, as he found Journeau guilty and fined him fifteen dollars and costs as well as declaring the house public for one year. Aurele Charbonneau, arrested by the Provincial Police last â€" Wednesday morning, pleaded not guilty to a charge of keeping beer for sale and when the hearing was finished he was given a sentence of two months in jail. A further charge of having liquor withâ€" out the necessary permit to purchase same was withdrawn after the convicâ€" tion on the first charge. arrived, also said that the beer had been in the bedroom and not in the kitchen. He denied also that‘ Journeau had given any beer to the women: Constables Stromberg and Lynch told of keeping observation on Charbonâ€" neau‘s place (which is located in Mountjoy Township on the other side of McChesney‘ s Mill) for several nights before making the arrest. On one of the nights they observed eight taxis come to the place in a threeâ€"hour neriod while the next night they noticâ€" ed another nine taxis come to the house. Early Wednesday morning they decided to raid the house and they found quite an elaborate Setâ€"up inside. They waited till the accused had stepped outside of the house and then they arrested him as he was trying to fill ‘a glass with liquor from a bottle that he had buried in the snow. They went into the house with him and found three men and a taxi driver sitâ€" ting near a table with two women. All were feeling in fine spirits and had been drinking. While Constable Stromâ€" berg remained in the house Constable Lynch searched the yard for more "caches" of liquor but none were found. Later the constables again searched the snow outside of theâ€"back door and found fiftyâ€"six empty bottles, that had it one time contained liquor. Whiile the police were in the house another taxi pulled up in front of the house with several persons in it and the driver rang a buzzer that was conâ€" cealed under the kitchen sink.

The outton for the buzzer was on the outâ€" ide of the building alongside of the door but it was hidden under a flap of tar naper. The police ripped the buzzer system apart and entered it as The constables said that ‘here was considerable traffic at the hfouse but admitted that they had never seen the man actually sell any f the liquor, although Constable Lynch said that he had noticed money ass between the men inside of the house during a period of observation two nights before the raid. The constable said that he had seen the money through a pair of field zlasses that he had and when quesâ€" tioned regarding the certainty that he had seen the money the constable anâ€" swered that he would accept it for a two dollar bill any day. Constable Stromberg told the court that he had searched the house at various times {for liquor and had never found any. It Published in Timmins, Ont.. Canada EVERY THURSDAY Actingâ€"Magistrate Platus summed up before convicting and said that the police evidence was strong and that it seemed strange for a man to be putting his liquor in a snowbank. It also seemed strange for all the man‘s friends to be calling on him at the same time when the police happened to be watching the place. He decided to find the man guilty and sentenced him to two months in jail and declarâ€" ed the premises public for one year. The second charge against the man was then withdrawn. Albert Fraser faced two charges, one of illegal possession of wine and anâ€" other of disorderly conduct. He pleaded not guilty but his story was haraly convincing enough to earn him an acquittal. He refused to take the stand to give evidence saying only that he had done wrong. Two constables swore that they had seen the man stop at least half a dozen persons on Cedar street and ask them to purchase a bottle of wine. for him. When questioned by the police the man said that he was doing nothing wrong and objected to being placed under arrest. helpful and timely. This contribution will no doubt spur others to renewed interest and coâ€"operation in the Bombâ€" led Victims‘ Fund. The man refused to take the stand but from the prisoner‘s box he said that he had spoken to several friends and had suggested to one of them that they purchase a bottle of wine for the next day as it was a holiday. He was found guilty and fined ten dollars or thirty days. Armelin Chenier paid a fine of ten dollars and costs on a charge of conâ€" suming beer while being an interdicted person when she pleaded guilty before court opened. Five drunks graced the police court docket and four of them were convicted while the fifth asked for a week‘s reâ€" mand. One of the five, John Ristiâ€" maki, paid a fine of fifty dollars and costs as a second offender while the others paid the usual ten and costs. Mary Stefanuik faced a charge of having liquor without the necessary permit and she asked for a remand. It was granted to her. On a charge of illegal possession of wine Jack Morrison paid the usual ten dollars and costs. Joseph Wadsworth faced a charge of disorderly conduct and pleaded guilty before court and paid ten dollars and costs. On a charge of common assault Frank Fauklkner paid a fine of ten dollars and costs. The charge was laid by Norman Kwan, a restaurant proâ€" prietor.> A charge of wilful damage to property against Morton Lynch was withdrawn with costs.

Only One Surâ€" vivor from Crew. Published in Timmins, Ont.. Canada EVERY THURSDAY Friends of Sergt. Gunner Orville P‘att will find a sad interest in the letâ€" ter given below. It gives particulars of the death of this Timmins airman who was reported as missing on July 17th. Orville Platt, who is a brother of John Platt, of the Hollinger staff, himself worked at the Hollinger Mine for four and a half years, and made wide circles of friends here who will deeply regret the death of this patrioâ€" tic young man. In March of last year he finished a course with the R.C.A.P. and graduated as a sergeant gunner. He went overseas in April, 1941, having previously been married, the bride beâ€" ing Miss Joan Stutt, of Regina. After six weeks‘ training in Scotland, Serâ€" geant Gunner Platt was in the thick of the air fighting. He was in one of the planes carrying out a successful raid on the enemy last July. The British airmen carried through their duty in effective way, and were:â€" on the return trip to Britain when attacked by enemy fighting planes. ‘The plane in which Orville Platt was serving was shot down and he was reported on July 1"7th as "missing." As a matter of facot it develops that there was only one surâ€" vivor from the plane in which Orville was serving, and that was Sergt. Jamieâ€" son, who is now a prisonerâ€"ofâ€"war in Germanâ€"held territory. Sergt. Jamieâ€" son recently wrote to his sister, Miss Edna Jamieson, giving details of " the raid and the attack on the planes by enemy â€" aircraft. Miss Jamieson, in turn, has written to Mrs. Orville Platt, who has been living at Regina since her husband went overseas. The letâ€" ter from Miss Jamieson reads as folâ€" lows: Dear Mrs. Platt:â€"We have received word from my brother giving some deâ€" tails of what happened them, so I am forwarding this information to you. It is sad, but I think you will feel better when you know your husband did not suffer a long time before he died. The bomber was on a mission to Hamburg, had successfully bombed their target, and was on its way home. When over the North Sea it was atâ€" tacked by German planes. Some of the enemy shot found its mark and there was a terrific exploslon, and the bember went into a thousand pieces.
