It is a commqn thing, he sand, to bring a man out of prison to` give evidence and such evidence is entitled to credence.

In .the Smith case, Maccrone and Gordon had not been good witnesses for the defence, and as for other evid- ence brought to show that Bradbury and Coughlin were intoxicated in the afternoon and evening of Feb. 13, it was not important in any event since they were trying Smith for anoffense committed intfthe morning.

"Surely Your Vvorship is not going to believe that these menhave trumped up stories against all the defendants. If they were doing that why did they not trump them up against `some of the` well known bootleggers? It is inconceivable to think they would pick on these men;" Says Spotters Not Corroboratdh "The fact -that a decent man wobuld not do the work that these officers do should stamp their evidence with sus- ' picion. said Donald Ross, defending 'Lahay and Stephens. Such` evidence .must' be strongly corroborated before giving it weight and in these cases there had not been a sign` of corro- boration. _Mr. Ross referred ,to their _ tis`e of false names as indicating a mental attitude that.-would make them lie.`He` also pointed to their lack of .seri`ous'ness. Everyone in this court despised them, `he `said, but `they only laughed. Discussing`the evidence of intoxication given by Lahay, Ste- phens and Adams. Mr. Ross said, `Flt 8. precedent is established thatmen like these can. secure convictions. it is\a. serious thing for the public." He con- . eluded by pointing to contradictions in their evidence, referring the Magis- trate to various questions in the evi- dence. , . , 'Q~Inana- nlflniuvn AP nnnua- LIIIC U1.

Over 30 `witnesses were called in these cases and these two despicable omen set themselves up against 24 respectable citizens." The evidence of Upton alone; who stated that Bradbury told him of his c9n- ternplated spring trip; is sufficient to damn the cases. Upton s evidence was uncontradicted. "I don't blame the In- ap`ector,". said -Mr. Flnlayson. "He has to deal with this `kind of slime because he can't get. any others-, but they are not all -as bad as these two. .

If the court knew what I do about this man and his activities, you would know that he has sold to some very respect- Qble people in Barrie, someof whom were willing, if necessary, to come here; and give evidence, even though it in- criminated themselves.

It would be pre- I posterous to convict when we have the evidence, of 24 honest citizens against 1 that of these two slimy creatures." Contradictions, he said, could be shown in the evidehce in every case. They had liquor from beginning to; end of thelrtrip and they were drunk` all the time they were in the county." i The fact that Dunn wanted to hide` his previous transactions with .Brad-! bury was not to his credit, and having' got off on the wrong `foot he got in deeper with every statement, but Brad-; but-y s perjury could be set off against; Dunn's evidence, while Mr. Finlaysonf maintained, Mrs. Dunn's evidence` 5 I I should be accepted and that of Miss Smith and Vernon Caldwellbwas un- questioned. : ` nun, _ run ~....-v ........ u. .

It_ is tit- led Canoe Trips and Nature Photo- g'rapliy" and in a matter of` forty `pages offers suggestions for 22 canoe trips. There is a map showing the route of every trip and there is at least one trip for every province except Prince] Edward Island. ' ', The booklet is something decidedly new in railway publications, and it has been designed to serve a long felt want. In the past it has been a dif-' ficult matter for canoeists, to secure accurate information and maps on trips they would like to take and for that reason many have `had to abandon` their plans or.confine their operations to territory withwvhich they were familiar. The Canoe Trip booklet of the Canadian National. Railways over- comes this difficulty. The booklet out- lines various trips and gives infor- mation as to outfitters, game and fish, etc. But this is only part of the service. I1-Vhen the `eanoeist has found a. trip which attracts him, all he has to do is to send the number of th'e.trip to the General Tourist department of the Canadian National Railways and he will`be*provided with the fullest parti-I culars as to portages, camping sites, fishing spots, etc., and a1so'.Wit_h a large blue print map which can be used as a"chart during his journey. 18x `ATTRACTIVE CANOE TRIPS YOUR` LAST CHANCE %'ro BUY AT Bankrupt Prices 5 Days` of Bargains MEN S WEAR - soars WEAR --LADIES - DRY GOODS vnstpmsovmn smoking or what Horlcdragi. ma ' glvotlileubucr BIG A NEXT pobn WO0LWORTH Make Your "Own Price % "n-us BANKRUPT srocx SALE cLo,sEs MAY 3111 -ITHEHUB GENERAL s'rom-:s TAKE OVER THE sfom: MAY 9 AND EVE_RY'rH1N(; MUST BE sou) BY" THAT TIME.
