It wag charged that Rodden, a private in the Second Bat- talion, Royal Canadian Regi- ment, stationed at London, Ont., was the driver of a car causing the death of Douglas C. McMullen, 48, Oshawa, on Aug. 5, 1961. Mrs. May McMullen, wife of the dead man, testified he left home about 5 p.m. He had drunk the equivalent of one full glass of wine and one pint of beer by 2 p.m. and then had a nap, she stated. Michael John Hickey testified he met McMullen about 5.15, and McMullen invited him and Ronalé Tucker to his house for a drink, The three were given a ride by the accused when McMullen stuck out his thumb, Hickey said. "SLOW DOWN" Tucker told the court the car procceded at an excessive speed down Simcoe street, and that he was glad when it stopp- ed so be could get out. When he inquired who owned the car, the man in the right front seat (later identified as Jerome Cloutier, 21, of Renfrew) re- plied he was just married and Rodden was his best man. Harry Dove, owner of the ser- vice station on Simcoe street where the fatality occurred, stated McMullen emerged from a car that drove onto his lot between 5.30 and 6 p.m. The car came in very fast and skidded to a stop, he said. When McMullen introduced Dove to the two in the front seat as bridegroom and best man, Dove said he advised them to slow down or there wouldn't be any honeymoon. According to Dove, McMullen walkcd to the curb and "'stuck out his thumb in a joshing manner". The car pulled out and canie" towards McMullen, who was down on one knee, ard struck him, he stated. The car paused after the col- lision and then shot forward, dragging the body underneath, Dove said. The car then "lurch- ed crazily" and headed out to- wards the highway into the path of an oncoming car. "I turned away then," Dove finished. During cross - examination, Dove stated the car could have caught in the railway tracks in front of his garage and have been wrenched off course. He said he had seen 'other cars thrown over by it". He stated he believed McMul- len was not drunk but had been drinking. "I've never seen Doug- las McMullen drunk," he said. Asked to testify to McMullen's drinking habits, he said: "He enjoyed drinking." Tucker stated he and Hickey were able to jump back from the car's path, but that Mec- Mullen was struck by the front centre of the car. Hickey said he was struck on the right leg as the car went past him. The court was told the accel- erator and carburetor of Rod- den's car appeared normal upon later examination. De- fense counsel asked that the power steering be checked. Dr. J. O. Ruddy, of Whitby, coroner for Ontario county, said McMullen died of loss of blood from the area around the lungs due to crushing of ribs on the left side. He also had a skull fracture and bruises on his left hand, arm and leg, he said. There was a smell of alcohol in his blood indicating impair- ment, the doctor testified.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Three big questions bothered business this week: Will there be war over Berlin? Will there be an automobile strike? Will prices go up in the fall? The stock market set all-time highs and then, somewhat jarred by developments and a little tired after a long advance, retreated sharply. Th. big three automakers-- General Motors, Ford and Chry- sler -- offered the United Auto Workers new three - year con- tracts. They proposed wage in- creases of 21 cents an hour over three years plus improvements in fringe benefits. Malcolm Denise, Ford vice president for labor relations, called the offer "a good one, a fair one, a respectable one." UAW president Walter Reu- ther termed it "woefully inad- equate." As the big three stood firm on their offer, Reuther turned his personal attention to negoti- ations with American Motors, whose proposal included a pro- fit sharing plan. FEAR PRICE RISE In Washington, Senator Albert Gore (Dem.-Tenn.), urged Pres- ident Kennedy to act to prevent a steel price increase. He was supported by. other Democratic senators who warned of a pos- sible "inflationary binge." Steelworkers' wages will be increased an average of about under a 1960 wage contract that ended a long strike. Gore and others said it was likely that wage hikes would be followed by a $5 -- ton steel price increase. Steel production last week rose for the third straight week. 7.8 cents an hour in October Worry Over War, Strikes, Prices The industry publication. Iron Age, said rising demand may result in a brief shortage this fall. Although the first 1962 model cars were turned out this week, the auto industry continued to stall on steel orders pending outcome of labor negotiations. BUSINESS IMPROVES Martin Gainsbrough, chief economist of the National In- dustrial Conference Board, said that apart from the Berlin cri- sis' impact on defence spend- ing, business conditions have clearly been improving since the early months of the year. He said industrial output and non - agricultural employment The government acted to aid the ailing coal industry by or- chased from domestic sources.

Samac is really Arrest Turchin shawa Fugitive Nabbed By Railway Police In Toronto Union Station William Michael Turchin, 23,10 and shooting a railway em- of Oshawa who escaped from Collins Bay Medium Security Penitentiary near Kingston July 29, was re-captured in Toronto Friday night when he was recog- nized in the Union Station by | Canadian National Railway Police. Turchin and Henry Patrick McBryan, 28, of Toronto, escaped by scaling an 18-foot limestone wall. Both had been serving long-terms for robbery with violence. McBryan, who had also been convicted of shooting a police man, is still at large. According to prison officials, Turchin and another prisoner, Henry McBryan, 28: serving time for armed robbery and shooting a police officer, worm- ed their way to freedom through a vertical pipe duct in their cell block at Portsmouth Peniten- tiary, Kingston, July 29. The two were being taken back to their cells with 46 other prisoners after watching a tele- vised boxing match.

At his trial last November, he pleaded guilty to robbing the Oshawa CNR station Sept. - | | | impressed | with Canada and the most im- portant thing which struck them | ployee in the leg. $200 TAKEN As a result of the shotgfyin blast, Percy Thompson, 58, of Belleville, later had his leg am- putated. Turchin took more than $200 from the station cash draw- er. In a statement to police, Tur- chin said he thought the safety catch was on the shotgun when he entered the station. He claim- ed that Thompson pulled the end of the gun down and it went off. Magistrate F. S. Ebbs sentenced him to 10 years in the peniten- tiary. The magistrate pointed out he could be liable for life in prison and a whipping on the charge. "A man's life has been ruined by your callous be- havior," he charged. "You ap- parently entered the CNR sta- tion with a loaded shotgun, and you had come for the purpose of robbery." A psychiatric examination showed Turchin was responsible for his actions, the court was told by Assistant Crown Attor- ney, Bruce Affleck. John Thomas Altiman, 20, of Oshawa, had previously been sentenced to three years in the penitentiary by Magistrate Ebbs after he pleaded guilty Oct. 21, as an accessory to the robbery. At no time during their trials were either Turchin or Altiman represented by legal counsel. Turchin was also sentenced to two years on each of three other charges: the sentences to run concurrent with the 10-year sen- tence. He had pleaded guilty to 25, 1957; to break and enter and theft at Barons' Radio Electric Ltd., Oshawa, Nov. 10, 1954; and to the same charge at The Osh- a¥a Service Centre, May 17, 1957.

Mr. Bulmer recounted what happened as follows: A man wearing a blue hood with eye- holes in it ran into the room and shouted: "This is a stick- up." Mr. Bulmer asked him if he were joking, but put his hands up anyway. A shot then rang out and he turned around in time to see Mr. Thompson fall to the floor. The gunman put another shell in his gun and then forced Mr. Bulmer towards the telegraph office and made him open the cash drawer. The man scooped $200 in silver and bills into a small yellow suitcase, and grab. bed an envelope filled with rail way papers from the safe. The man then fled from the station and began running along the platform. Mr. Bulmer duck- ed behind the desk in case the gunman decided to fire again. He last saw him at the Simcoe street bridge. Over a dozen police officers scoured the area, and the OPP set up road blocks, but the man escaped for the time. Residents robbery at the CPR station June in the area questioned neither saw the man nor heard the shot. | WILL PREACH Rev. W. F.
