ee ee Quilts - warm for winter These four ladies at Georgian Manor have spent most of their spare time these past two weeks working on quilting. Josephine Ladouceur, Lillian Beck, Elizabeth Jury unconvinced by honesty Lawyer Peter Mudry fail- ed to convince a five per- son Supreme Court of On- tario jury that his client, Bill Ogilvie, did not intend to libel lawyers Gord Teskey, Ross Heacock, and Rod Ferguson. "He (Ogilvie) brings everything out about everyone. If he has an opi- nion, he says it. He is honest. No one else is do- ing it. He's not right all of the time. He's honest, not malicious," Mudry told the jury last Wednesday. One of the complainants' witnesses, Moreland Lynn, described Ogilvie, Mudry reminded the jury, as '"'a reptile, a Marxist, a Com- munist, an anarchist," so- meone who tries to over- throw the government. Ogilvie's response was to call the former mayor of Midland, Mare Lynn, Mudry said. Mudry said his client is careful, thorough, and of good memory. He is obsessed with politics. "It is consistent with honesty to be critical," Mudry told the jury. He suggested to the jury that the lawyers' lawsuit was more an at- tempt to stop Ogilvie from asking questions and "keep a profitable situation go- ing" and less about malice by Ogilvie. Referring to argument about the correctness of figures used by Ogilvie and disputed by the lawyers, Mudry said "No. What's Speaker The Midland- Penetanguishene and District Branch of the Diabetes Association will hold a meeting at the Georgian Manor, Robert Street W. in Penetanguishene, tomor- row evening at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Anne Kenshole, from Women's College Hospital in Toronto will be the guest speaker for the meeting. Dr. Kenshole will be ad- dressing local doctors and other health care profes- sionals tomorrow after- noon at a luncheon at the Inn at Bay Moorings in Penetanguishene. happening here is hones- ty." The ad written by Ogilvie and published by the Free Press, which was the cen- tre of the libel suit, con- cluded with a reference to Pontius Pilate's role in sen- ding Jesus Christ to his death. The ad compared Ross Heacock and his part- ners to Pontius Pilate. Ogilvie said the lawyers betrayed their client, Tiny Township. Mudry said of Pilate, "All we know of Picotte (sitting) and Melvina Arbour say they had a great time together talking as they quilted. Their: average age is 90. Pontius Pilate is that he was the original fence sit- ter." Referring to his sugges- tion that the libel suit was an attempt to silence Ogilvie, Mudry said, "'He shuts up when people do what he wants. He sup- ports them." In his charge to the jury, Mr. Justice John James Fitzpatrick's comment about the Pontius Pilate reference was that the local lawyers, alleged by Ogilvie to have betrayed their client Tiny Township, were "'likened to one of the most notorious failures to act in the history of mankind." The jury decided on the evidence given it through a period of more than four weeks that Ogilvie was guilty of libel and that the Midland Free Press was guilty of publishing his libellous words.
