In the even- ing Mr. Gage, another mill hand, had come to help him saw it up. The two men sawed till about 9 p.m. and then went into the house for lunch. Gage went home about 10.45 p.-m.

Boys, Mrs. Chatterson ad- mitted both she and her husband used wine, but maintained they never sold it to others. They had used three cases with 12 quart bottles in each since January. On being; pressed she wouldn t swear that six cases had been received, but refused to make it nine. Mr. Boys then produced slips copied from the fxovernment records of the amounts of shipments of the National Fruit and Wine Co. to Roy Chatterson of Angus. These had Chatterson s cor- rect name on each, but dvi`erent street addresses, one being address- l I ed to Ralston Ave., Angus, and others to St. Helen's and Sheridan (Ave. The returns showed: Feb. 2, one case (two gallons); Feb. '5, 1 case; Feb. 16, 2 cases (4 gallons); Feb. 26, 1 case. uuun. Mr. J. W.

Mrs. Chatterson, however, could not remember it at all. She did not always know when the wine came and her husband drank more than she did. She was positive, however, that there had been no wine in the house on Feb. 4th because she had asked Roy for some the day be- fore. The writness also stated posi- tively the two men had come in from sawing wood about 10 pm. When reminded that she had told-her own counsel quite denitely that it had been 9 p.m., she guessed it would be 9.30. /A, _,L,`,,._- ,1 _._ _....... ..!...\ At the outset of the re-opening of the Chatterson case on Friday morn- ing P.M. Jeffs pointed out that the adjournment in order that the de- fence might summons more witness- es was unusual when the evidence llfor the Crown was all in. It will be remembered by Advance readers that the special ofcers in their evidence alleged that on Feb. 4th they had been conducted to the house of Roy Chatterson, a mill hand, by Ed. Smith, of Angus. One of the_m (Bradbury) had gone into the house and bought a bottle of port wine for 75 cents. Smith had also .;;1 , _.._._L___ ,1 _ L .4..- uuuun. uuu uvubl purchased a bottle. No conviction was made in the case of the Crown agiainst Chas. and Sam. Barthorpe of Tottenham, clrarged with stealing; a set of harness from Fred Courtney and two blind bridles and numerous other articles from Thos. Kenna, both of the same district. The case was tried in Tvottenham before .P.M. Jeffs. The harness and bridles were found in the possession of the defendants and were identied to the satisfaction of the court as belonging to Courtney and Kenna. The defendants claim- ed that they had brought the articles from a strane:er for $15. But as no evidence of theft was produced by the Cr-own, nor any proof of posses- sion of stolen goods, knowing them to be st-olen, the case was dismissed.` Three months had elapsed since thel disappearance of -the articles and one of the Crown witnesses swore to having seen the harness in the pos- session of another party. The Bar- thorpe story was not shaken in THEFT CHARGE DISMISSED icross examination. Because Mr. Finlayson was un- able to be present, the request to have the payments stand over for a few days till the defendants could consult their counsel about appeal- ing: the cases, {vas granted.
