the prisoner was tried sum marily when being asked to plead guilty or not guilty the prisoner declined and raised objections as to the jurisdiction of the court couching his objections in rather vigorous vola- puk and otherwise making himself liable for contempt the magistrate however after considerable trouble re stored order to the court and proceed ed to examine the witnesses the first witness called flatly refused to give evidence until his fees were paid as his wishes could not be complied with his evidence was dispensed ivith and the examination of a less mercen ary witness was proceeded with this witness stated that prisoner was one of the leading members of the associa tion he stated also that on a certain day mentioned he walked into the prisoners place of business and saw said prisoner with a halfsmoked cigar in his hand the room at the time smell ing of cigar smoko prisoner was then heard in his own defence he again broke out into volapuk and charged his accusers with blackmail and declared the whole business was a put up job prisoner was here in terrupted by a brother member who immediately received a striking re ply to his remarks in the shape of a rap with a yard stick the prisoner stated that the fact that he had been seen with a halfsmoked cigar in his hand was no proof that he had violated his obligation and furnished an elo quent defence by saying that no man had seen him smoke and and very few women a second daniel who had come to judgment was then called upon to address the court and sum up the evidence against the prisoner he showed that it had been proved that prisoner had been one of the foremost members in fact a char ter member of the stouffville anti- tobacco association and that it had by the clearest evidence been proved tht said prisoner had violated his pledge daniel also called the at tention of the court to the fact that while prisoner contended thatno man had seen him smoke he had inadver tently admitted that a few women had seen him do so in fact the equi vocating manner of the prisoner es pecially in refusing to plead betrayed conscious guilt the speaker then closed the moat brilliant address ever heard in court
