An automobile rug, found in the vicinity of Foley's ser- vice station, which has since been identified as that which was con= tained in the ear before it wus stolen, forms the connecting link in a chain of circumstantial 'evidence which the Crown attempted to ess tablish, . connecting the two rob- beries. After all the Crown witnesses had been heard, H. S. Chaplan, defense counsel, moved that the case be dismissed on the ground that there was no evidence to show that the accused mien had ever been in Whitby. His Worship ruled, how- ever, that there was sufficient evi- dence to continue the case. Mr. Chaplan consulted with his clients and then informed the court that he would not submit a defence but would let the case rest upon its merits. . The Evidence J. L. Sheard, a Toronto lawyer, was the first witness to be called and testified that on Saturday night, March 16th, his car had been removed from Bond street, between the hour of 8.25 and 10.50 p.m. He communicated with the' police at No. 11 station and on the follow» ing morning his machine was re- turned to him. It did not show HOLDEN much evidence of bad usage and & ladies' fur coat, which was in'the back seat, had not been touched. An automobile robe was missing, however. He was shown the robe which was found near the vieinity of the refreshment booth and iden- tified it as his own. Counsel for the defence objected to the evidence concerning the stolen automobile but his objection was mot upheld' by the court, Under examination of J. A, Mc- Gibbon, Crown Attorney, Herb Foley, proprietor of the service sta- tion, told of discovering the rob- bery when he opened his refresh- ment booth on Sunday morning, March 17. He noticed that the front door had been broken off its hinges and that a quantity of cigar ettes had been stolen. He had then called Chief H. Gunson and Pro- vincial Constable Thos. Mitchell. Identified Cigarettes "Can you identify these cigar- ettes?" queried £rown Attorney McGibbon showing Foley a number of boxes of popular brands: which had beeen found close to where the prisoners were arrested. "Yes," answered the witness. Pointing to a brand which he claim- ed was not enjoying a good sale at the present time he observed that the containers were somewhat fad- ed.

They had been seen near Gainsborough and Eastwood road, Toronto, and because the police suspected tnat they had stolen Sheard's car, they were taken into custody.

A fire, which was caught only just in time to prevent it having serious consequences, broke out on Thurs- day afternoon on the top storey of the Burns shoe store block on the south-west corner of King and Sim- coe streets, and was extinguished only after strenuous efforts by the fire de- portment. The fire originated in a small store-room adjoining the Knights of Pythias Hall, and was centred in a pile of wood which was stored in the room. Attention to the blaze was attracted when smoke be- gan to pour out of the top of the building about 4.30 p.m., and the fire- men were quickly on the scene, al- though their approach to the building, and the laying of water lines, was hampered by the presence of a large number of cars parked around the corners of the building, The wood was blazing merrily when the firemen reached the room, and had set alight the walls and partitions between thre room and the stairway. The heat was terrific, aitd the fire- men had to pour a considerable quan- tity of water on the flames before the danger was over. The fire, fortunate- ly, was confined to the one spot, for, had the flames broken through the roof, the high wind which was blow- ing at the time would probably have caused a serious conflagration. As it was, damage to the extent of about $500, as estimated by Fire Chief El- liott was done, and the premises and stock of the Burns Shoe Store, as well as the other rooms in the sec- ond and third storeys, were consid- erably damaged by water. : Fire Hazard Discussing the fire, the chief said he had not, as yet been able to def- initely fix the causg of the fire, as he had not found out wether any person or persons had been in the hall on Thursday afternoon. He expressed the view that the firemen were for- tunate indeed to have caught the secured a good hold, it would have been very difficult to save the build- ing. This building, Chief Elliott stat- ed, constitutes one of the most dan gerous fire hazards in the downtown section of the city, particularly since the fire department has no pumper, and the pressure of water would not have been sufficient to reach the top of the building had the fire broken through the roof. A fire occurred in the same room only a few months ago. Occurring as it did during a busy time in the afternoon, when the streets were crowded, the fire at- tracted much attention.
