While in the. cells on .the. drunk charge he borâ€" rowed a razor from a soldier who was also enjoying. cell hospitality. The soldier thought that Mailloux simply wanted to take a badly needed shave, Pbut, later he found that the accused 'had cut his neck and there was blood all round. â€"The police were called and Mailloux was hurried to the hospital. Dr. Mackechnie‘s evidence showed that if the cut had been just a wee bit _deeper there would ‘have been no use of charging Mailloux with anything. Mailloux‘s evidence in his own behalf was to the effect that he had tried to shave himself with the razor but being in a rather nervous condition . from the other charge, and lacking other showing â€" facilitiee the razor â€" had slipped. and his neck had . sufâ€" fered. There was no evidence to disâ€" prove Mailloux‘s story, so the attemptâ€" ed suicide charge was dismissed. On the third offence count, however, Mailâ€" louux. was sentenced to three months. Lawrence Fournier was charged with taking a motor car without the owner‘s consent, but case was dismissed though the~accused was warned that ‘he must be more careful in regard to cars in the future. He had repairâ€" ed the car, and in return the owner had loaned it to him to make a trip to South Porcupine.
