On Satiurdiay, April 26, he had Jolhn Pifer on pre- lim-iniary hearing here before Police Maglistrate Jeffs, charged with hav- lng robbed the general store of M. N. Stephens, of Glencairn, some months ago of a large quanitiity rof sugar in bags. The case of the Crown turned out to be weaker than was expected. owing `to the disap- pointing testimony of centain Wilt- nesses relied on by the prosecution, and on completion of the Crown's evidence, Mr. A. J. -F. Sullivan, :cou-n- sel for Plfer, claimed a pniuna facia case had not been made out, in which view he was sustained -by the magiistra-te, who `mu-Inedia-telry dis- missed the case and released the accused from custody. On Monday, Aprail 28, Albert Dedimian -was tnied here before Police Magistraltes Jeffs and Hnogg on a charge of attempted arson in haviin-g allegedly set re to the barn of Walter Mor-by, near Glencairn, on the night of April 7. Crown Attorney Cotter, assisted by Fire Marshall Savanah and Provin- cial Officer Gardner, prosecuted the ease vtigorously, and brought for- ward a considerable almounit of strong evidence against the accused, indicating much faithful work and preparation. The prisoner's counsel, Mr. Sullivan, was, however. `able to establish a complete a1~i.bti accounting for the prisoner`s presence on the night in question. So the bench dis- missed the charge and set the ac- cused at liberty.
