Williams was the first witness heard. I . He gave eyiidenceas to the nature of theiq road," telling what he found on making ail close examination shortly after the accident .( occurred. He told of the wa`er being over the" road covering a deep hole at the south ! , end of the bridge and of the bridge and {f of, the deflection of the road leading off the i] bridge and told how deceptive the road was H because of the deflection and no guards ori] sruides `to insure the safeiy of people driving '= , over it. Asked` by Mr. Cotter if he did 3 not-think it dangerous to drive over the flooded road Constable Williamssaid no; a he had seen two buggies.`a road cart and | . a man on horseback pass over it a shorti; time after Wesley Scottgot in. These people 2 i were shown the course totake by some men in a boat who had "been examining the road for a washout. There was no protec- tion at thesides of this high narrow ap- proach` apart from two` posts on which there was. no railing. `There had never been any pro`ection so far as he knew.

Wall stated that the bank at? l of water. the,(-ast of the approach to the bridge where the fatalities occurred was quite precip'tous, and when the flood covered the road he`l would consider it dangerous. So far as he. could" see the approach could have been? made straight instead of crooked and couldi have been made with gravel.

Joseph Irwin Mr.` Cotter learned` thatvcharles Dennyv is road overseer for the, portion of the township in which this bridge and road are" situated. He is deputy reeve of Essa and was a councillor before being elected deputy reeve. Irwin agreed that the road was dangerous and -that residents inthel neighborhood had complained about it.` He said the hole was made by taking the dirt out of the side of the `road to` make ,the approach. Gravel was available 20 ruus uwuy. Father a Nervous Wreck Wesley Scott was a pathetic sight. sHe is badly wrecked nervously and ju-mps and twitches like a victim of `,a severe case of St..Vitus dance. He was given a chair, but soon rose and paced the floor while he gave his evidence.

Ullyu One of Saddest Cases In addressing the jury Mr. Cotter said that of all the sad cases that had come under his observation during the time he had been Crown Attorney this was one of the saddest. He pointed out thegduty the law imposes on municipalities to protect dangerous roadways. It was the criminal "aspect he was looking at; the courts would look after the civil aspect. He wanted to know if anyonehad been negligent, and if so,'who. He bade the jury weigh well the evidence put` before it and cautioned each juror to do his duty as he had sworn to` do._ In his remarks to the jury Mr. Cotter was caustic. in observing that`the township was evidently saving 815 or $20 by not putting railings along this roadway. He was satisfied there was nothing wilful, but he submitted there was neglect- nnvnnnr l`.nnn:nn`uavn undo` I-`uni R`: AI-L UU BUUUJIUIUU ILICIV WI! 111751330. Coroner Cunningham said that his ob-- ject in ordering this inquisition was if pos- -sible to fix the blame for the accident. There was too -much skimping in road mak- ing, he thought, and if-admeoue were called sharply toaocount it would have a salutary effect`. He bade the jury do its duty.
