H. Price, attorney- general, told the Conservatives of North Bruce at their convention here of the new policy which he outlined yesterday afternoon, The main points to the riding's agricultural electors were the extension of rural hydro by means of lowered service charges, de- velopment of power resources by buying out private companies, and a program of rural road building which will "dig the farmer out of the mud."

The state's charge that she was intoxicated when her automobile collided with that driven by the victim, was contradicted with the testimony: "I did not have a single drink | of intoxicating liquor the day of the accident." A startling defence counter- charge was thrown into the cawy by Max Steuer, chief of Mrs. Pan- tages' legal array, soon after her brief testimony ended. "Juno Rokumoto was put to death by administration of the an- aesthetic of ether nitrous oxide," Steuer asserted. "An absolutely unprecedented procedure in the case of a person suffering from shock." ; Steuer succeeded in presenting his accugation to the court only after Superior Judge Carlos Harty had excused the jury, a result of the state's objection to testimony Steuer was attempting to draw from Mrs. Mabel Frazer, trained nurse who attended Rokumoto, Under cross-examinaton Mrs. Pantages denied the testimony of state's' witnesses that she had raked two other cars before hit-| ting Rokumoto's. that T was walking the floor with the twins at the hour mentiohed in the charge." .
