TTMMIN3, ONTARIO Other Cases at Police COUIt Sessions Here on Tuesday, and Wednesday. | Napoleon Migneault sentenced to Nine Months‘ in Prison There were two charges against Geoâ€" rge Ewoniuk, one of breaking and enterâ€" ing and another of theft. He pleaded euilty on both counts. Detective Beaâ€" cock explained to the court that the accused broke into two homes in Timâ€" mins, stealing war bonds, watches and other valuables. Later, he left here and was sentenced to jail for a term in another city. The detective said that some of the goods stolen had been reâ€" covered and that the accused had coâ€" cperated in every way to clear up the robberies. Ewoniuk was anxious Deâ€" tective RBReacock said, to join the R.C. AF. and he thought it was a case where leniency might by the best for all conâ€" cerned. Magistrate Atkinson sentenced the accused to nine months on each charge, the sentences to run concurâ€" rently with the one he is now serving, so that he will be able to start on a new and better path at the end of nine months. For failure to keep the Selective Serâ€" vice registrar acquainted with his adâ€" dress, Philippe Sexnechal was sentenced to one day in jail, then to be taken to the recruiting centre at North Bay. On a charge of assaulting a lad of thirteen, F. M. Burke was fined 10.00 and costs. The boy‘s brother told the court that he was taking some cigarâ€" ettes from the store as he thought Mr. RBurke owed him for part of a week and he was taking the goods in place of the cash. Mr. Burke caught his broâ€" ther and forced him into the back of the store. The boy himself said that he had been slapped and thrown into a garbage box. Mr. Burke told the court that catching the boys apparently piling up cigarettes and other goods he had pushed the boy into the back of the store and into a carton used for wase paper. He had not held the boy for three hours as the lad alleged. When the police arrived, the evidence showed, At police court on Tuesday Napoleon Migneault, the young fellow who some weeks ago secured a dismissal on the charge of living on the avails of prosâ€" titution, the crown‘s chief witness in that case having disappeared, was conâ€" victed on the charge of contributing to Juvenile delinquency. The evidence was much the same as in the pervious case, and again with benefit to the prosecuâ€" tion the accused acted as his own lawâ€" yer. His pert manner and smart atâ€" titude seemed to rouse the antzsgonism of witnesses and they said more under his questioning than they might otherâ€" wise have said. It was shown in the evidence that Migneault had been keepâ€" ing a young girl around him, despite the fact that her father had warned him away from the house. Two taxi drivers told of Migneault asking them to bring business to him. One of the taxi drivers gave evidence tha‘t he had actually taken a customer to Migneâ€" ault‘s place where the young girl was found washing dishes. She had reâ€" fused Migneault‘s suggestion, however. The answer of the accused to this was to suggest that he might have had anâ€" other and an older girl upstairs in the house. ‘Crown Attorney Caldbick drew admissions from the accused as to the small amount of money he had earned since April of this year. The young fellow‘s reply to this was to call his own sister to the stand and to ask her if he had not borrowed money from her. Neighbours told of improper things they had noticed in conneciion with the accused and the young girl. In summing up Magistrate Atkinson pointâ€" ed out that the evidence proved that the accused had contributed to the delinâ€" quency of this girl of fourteen by. keepâ€" ing her around him contrary to her father‘s expressed wishes. The fact that Migneault had proposed marrying the girl did not alter the situation and even this proposal had not been made until after Migneault had been arâ€" rested. Migneault was sentenced to nine months‘ imprisonment. Mr. Burke was ncot in the store and there was nothing ta prevent the boy walking out. Dean Kester, K. C., was counsel for Mr. Burke. Pierre Laboie was charged with failâ€" ing to turn in reurns to the Cartier Taxi while acting as driver for that firm. His defence was that he was charged with time on a car while the owner of the business had taken the car from him in South Porcupine and the customers refused to pay. Laboie said he had been ready to pay the rest of the amount asked and was still ready to do so. A representative of the taxi firm said hat the accused had takâ€" en the car out and lhmad not reported for a couple of hours. In such cases it was the rule to charge the driver for the time the cab was out. Magistrate Atkinson dismissed the case on the understanding that the accused pay $6.75 to the firm to settle the matter. On a charge of dangerous driving J. Everard was fined $25 and costs and his license suspended for thirty days. Impressive Military Funeral for the Late LAC Lionel Renaud A charge of assault against a young man was dismissed, the youth saying that the lad who claimed to have been assaulted had hit him with a stick. The boy admitted doing this. Wednesday morning another ordinary drunk was assessed $10 and costs, while on another charge of threatening he was bound over to keep the peace. Anâ€" other ordinary drunk was fined $10 and costs, while a second offence drunk had to pay $50 and costs or 30 days. Operating a taxi without a license cost one man $1 and costs. A similar fine reulted in each of four cases of cvertime parking. Full Military Honours Given to Victim of Accident. a crash in which the occupants of the towing plane were both killed. L.A.C.
