Referring to the theft charge, Smith indicated he had been "wrongly prosecuted", Dr, J, W. Spragge, who exam- ined Smith April 23, said there was some restriction of move- ment in Smith's left arm but x- rays, taken at the complainant's request, showed nothing wrong. Five other church officials were called as witnesses for the Crown. Stephen Boutcher, a dea- con on duty for the opening cere mony, said he overheard Stephen Hartwig tell the complainant he was as welcome as anybody in the church as long as he prom- ised not to create a disturbance. VIOLENT TWIST Smith refused and shouldered his way to the centre doors, testi- fied Mr, Boutcher, He said Mr, McPherson took Smith's arm, but that the complainant made a violent twist and broke free. Mr. Boutcher and several other deacons and elders admitted to the deience ®ounsel they knew that Smith had been excommuni- cated and had been present on earlier cccasions when Smith had caused a' disturbance by inter rupting church meetings.

She comolained Friday that she and others had been tor- mented through the years by a viclous smear campaign, issued a statement saying that her long silence on the matter had caused "suffering and mis- understanding." She welcomed a statement fs- sued in New York last week by Harold Christie, house guest of Sir Harry on the night of the murder, warning that he would in the future challenge the use of his name *'as an object of infer- ential calumny." Sir Harry was found battered and burned in bed at his man- sion in 1943, Nancy's former hus- band, Alfred de Marigny, was tried for the murder and ac- quitted, Nancy's statément said: "Mr, Christie was one of several by- standers swept into this affair by The former Nancy Oakes, now the most casual of circum. -~ "No expense or effort will be spared by the |condition for two years although BATHE on Tet Bi a uh ) .

Harry Brockel, port director at Milwaukee and temporary chair- man of the United States section of the association, said at a meetng here that the discovery of khapra beetles recently on a foreign grain ship at Duluth, Minn,, had caused concern. Buf he avid bo dd not want to see Bn respon- sible for all the pollution prob- lems already existing, adding: "We must remember that for- eign vessels handle only a frac- tion of the tonnage on the lakes and if there is pollution from shipping, domestic ships must take their share of the blame." He said that in stamping out the khapra beetles, which have caused millions of dollars of damage to grain in the southern United States, the most serious problem would be with tramp vessels which enter the lakes ir- regularly.
