Ww PAGE ayer THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1929 COBOURG DOCTOR 5 FINED S400 M.O.H. Fields Found Found Guilty of Assault and Wounding Cobourg, July 17.--Found guilty by Judge L. V. O'Connor in county court, Cobourg, yesterday, Doctor George H. Field, Cobourg M.O.H,, was fined $200 on each of two charges of wounding and assault, In default of each fine the alter- native was two months in the coun- ty jail. Col. J. K. McKay, K.C., of Toronto, and W. F. Kerr, K.C,, Co- bourg, represented the crown. S. E. Slaght, K.C., Toronto, appeared for defendant, and associated with him were Col. F. D. Boggs, K.C, and J. B. McColl, Cobourg. The charges were the sequel to an altercation between Dr, Field nd his wife at their home on thy pvening of June 14 in which Alice Parle, 18-vear-old Cobourg girl, was struck in the hip by a bullet rom the doctor's revolver, whicu 'jcocheted from the sidewalk. Sub- sequently the doctor was disarmed wind arrested, but not before, ac- sording to testimony, he had struck his wife. Following his arrest ine medical health officer was charged with wounding Alice Earle and with assauling his wife, Mary Field. Two other charges laid at tke time, that of pointing a fire arm and causing a disturbance, were amens- ed to unlawful discharge of a fire arm in a public place, the latter charge finally being dropped. ing trial the doctor has been out on $10,000 bail. Wounded Girl Testifies companions observed a group of people in front of the house. On. being informed that there had been some shooting, they had with one accord, decided to quit the locanry. In the act of doing so, related the witness, they saw Dr. Field ap- proach from the corner of his house with his hands in his pock- ets." Suddenly he whipped out a revolver and fired towards the pavement. She next became awure of a sharp stinging sensation in her right hip, and cried out, "I'm hit." Later, she was taken to a doctor and treated for a contusion. Her evidence was corroborated by her companions, , Dr. Malcolm Kinsella, Toronto, appeared as the first witness for the defence. He spoke of perform- ing a slight operation to the left hand of Dr. Field on June 13, the day before the date in question. He had administered a local anaes- thetic. On June 20 he had found a number of bruises on Dr. Field's body as well as a fractured finger. Character evidence was given by a retired merchant, a former mayor and the present reeve of the town. At the conclusion of the evidence counsel for defence moved for a re- duction of the charge to common assault on grounds that the wound- ing was a technical charge. Mr. MacKay refused and added the re- mark that the accused was fortun- ate that he did not face instead a charge of manslaughter or attempt- Pena- ; ed murder. In passing judgment | his honor sharply reprimanded the doctor. | RAR A WILLYS RESINGS FROM PRESIDENCY Toledo, Ohio, July 17.--The res- Alice Earle was the first witness jgnation .of John North Willys, for called on the wounding charge.

Toronto, July 17.--~Two railway- men shared in a miraculous escape from death when freight train and lengine collided head-on in the yards of the Oriole station yester- day evening. H. E, Firman, fire- man on a freight train southward- bound along the Leaside branch of the Bala sub-division on the C.N.R. suffered severe . abrasions on the forehead, abrasions on back of head, a cut on his face, and lost several teeth. He was hurled against the steel-work of the inte- rior of the cab with the heavy loco- motive jerked to a sudden stop on striking. the switch engine, G. Aitchison, brakeman on the same train, suffered a sprained an- kle when he was suddenly shot out to the ground by the quick halt of the train. No others were hurt, but in view of the devastation caus- ed by the erash, those of the work- ing crew are w ondering why some- one was not killed. The two engines are badly dam- aged. The freight train's locou- tive was derailed, the two fore bo- gey wheels were forced out from under the chassis, and the connect- ing rod was detached from the right rear driving-wheel. Headlight and cow-catcher were twisted, while on the switch engine, which was pro- ceeding from Rosedale to Leaside via the long loop up-the valley to Oriole and thence south to Leaside, the same damage was caused to cow-catcher and frame-work. Several of the freight cars. were derailed by the crash. Three of the cars were empty, a fourth was loaded with laths. These four were very badly damaged, beyond re- pair. The car loaded with laths was forced out to the other track. its boarding burst open, the car was turned partly upon one end and its contents spilled, over the tracks. The other three cars were jammed together in a heap of splintered wood. A wrecking train with crew was dispatched to the scene of the acei- dent, shortly after news of the wreck reached the division head- quarters. The trains collided at 7.20 p.m., and it was found neces- sary to detour the Confederation, crack passenger to Vancouver, by the Newmarket ' sub-division to Washago. Ordinarily it would pass over the Bala sub-division. The cause of the accident is un- der 'investigation, but it is believed to be due to some error in the de- spatching of the trains. It was learned, however, that the switch engine does not run on time, and the wreck may possibly have been a chance meeting of the regular freight train and a shunting switen engine, The following official statement was issued at the C.N.R. offlces last night: "At 6.20 p.m. standard time, freight train 3344, southbound, collided head-on with a switch en- gine on the Leaside branch of the Bala sub-division. The switch en- gine was travelling from Rosedale to Leaside, and the accident hap- pened at Oriole road. "Fireman H. E. Firman had a cut and abrasions on the foreliead and abrasions on the hack of the head, and had some teeth knock- ed out. Brakeman G. Aitchison had a sprained ankle. Doctors, -- -- ---- nurses and an ambulance were call- ed, but the request for nurses was cancelled later. ' "Both engines. with one .loaded freight car and three empty cars, were badly damaged. Train No. 3, the "Confederation'" to Vancouver, was detoured 'by the Newmarket sub-division to Washago. The cause of the accident is under investiga- tion." FOREST RESOURCES STATISTICS ISSUED Rate of Depletion Not So Great as Recently Stated Ottawa, July 17--"The latest available estimate places Canada's forest resources at 224,304 million cubic feet of standing - timber. which is capable of yielding 424,- 637 million feet board measure of sawn lumber and 1,121,992 thou- sand cords of pulpwood, ties, poles and other smaller materials. With the population of the Dominion esi- mated at 9,519,000 in 1927 this represents a: per capita supply of 3,664 cubic feet of standing timber to provide for use alone of over 269 cubic feet," says a news letter of the Dominion Bureau on Statisties. '""A total depletion of 4,400,000,- 000 cubic feet per annum does not necessarily imply that our total re- sources of 224,304,000,000 cubic feet: are reduced .by that amount every year and that the supply will therefore be exhausted in 50 years. Estimating the probable duration of our supply of forést products is not a matter of simple arithmetic. 'constant, The rate of utilization is far from It tends to increase with the discovery of new uses for wood, the increase in our popula- tion and the increase in the de- mand for forest products from oth- er countries whose supplies have been reduced to a greater extent than our own. The rate of de- struction from fires and other agencies is also very uncertain but tends to increase with the increase of population and the extension of settlement unless measures are taken to prevent this tendency. "On the other hand there is 2a steady increase in volume taking place in all healthy stands of tim- ber due to annual growth, By the application of scientific forest man- agement this annual growth can be stimulated. and could be made 10 take place over our entire area of potential forest land." a OF AEROPLANE Pilot Escapes by Remark- able Coolness in Landing Philadelphia, Pa.. July 317, -- When the motor and propeller dropped cut of a navy plane at a height of 1.000 feet yesterday, Chief Radio Electrician C, E. Wil- liams made his eighth eseapé from death by using the parachute, His companion, Commander C, W, Er- ickson took a chance and by a aar- ing piece of work brought the crippled plane to the earth safely. Waiting until the last possible 'moment for the pilot to straighten out the engineless ship, Williams jumped from a height of 600 feet, pulled his parachute open at 300 feet and came down safely while the: pilot manoeuvred the smip wu a safe landing a few feet away, Commander Erickson, pilot ana chief inspector at the naval air- craft factory, was testing para- chutes over Mustin fiel vith the assistance of Williams when the accident occurred at 12:45 a.m, They had been up two hours, coming down periodically to take on more parachutes attached to 200-pound dymmies, which were PM released over mid-field from a height of 1,000 feet. Using a navy bomber empower- ed with a Pratt-Whitney motor, they had just released two dum. mies, when, without warning, the motor and propeller tore loose. Hurtling through the air, the motor fell straight down, burying itself five feet in the ground. The propeller split in half, one halt falling with the motor and the other half falling about 500 away, . B\®!
