the examiner Monday Aprll 25 1971 Made it easy to leave Hornersays ofClark OTTAWA CP Jack Hor ner says Joe Clark may have persuaded him to remain within the Progressive Con servative party Instead Clark laughed when Horner said he might leave the party Joe Clark as leader of the Conservative party made it easy for me to leave Horner now minister without port folio in the Trudeau cabinet said in an interview on the CTV television networks Question Period Horner said the Liberal party approached him last October and things became serious March 10 when James Coutts principal secretary to the prime minister invited him to dinner Homer said 24 hours after he met Coutts he told Clark about the meeting but Clark thought it was something had manu factured to aggrandize myself in his eyes or in the Con servative partys eyes Horner said he talked to Clark again after seeing Trudeau on April 4but Clark laughed HE LAUGHED Yes he laughed and said he wasnt surprised He said that he thought that they would have been after Claude Wagner first before they were after me Asked if Clark could have persuaded him to remain within the Conservative party Homer said think he could have think he could have clearly stated that the Conservative party needs you and need you and value you and want you to stay However Clark showed no enthusiasm in asking him to stay and it made me very sad All of that just gave me the impression that why am banging my head against the wall and agonizing over staying in the party when it appears to me they dont even want me So thats why say it looked like he made it easier for me to go Homer said he decided to join Trudeaus team because Id like to think that the prime minister has asked me to help him hold the country together economically and emotionally and weighed everything very very very carefully Wants more Indian leaders for Indian Affairs dept OTTAWA CPI Indian Af fairs Minister Warren Allmand says he will try to bring more Indian leaders into his depart ment so it will be sensitive to the needs of native people always felt uneasy about the situation where white people ran things for Indian peopleit smacked of real colonialism he said in an in terview with Patrick Watson on the CBC television networks Watson Report broadcast Saturday People say Canada isnt colonial power In fact our relationships with the native people of this country were co lonial So weve tried to bring in outstanding Indian leaders not just as tokens but people who are competent and because they are sensitive to Indian peoples needsl Allmand called Harold Cardi nal

officials all white into win Crime Flashback Nasty Mary lived in London By MAX IIAINES Copyright 1977 Toronto Sim Syndicate Misers collect and save money not for what it will buy but for the sheer joy of posses sion They privately count and fondle their coin and some say they even obtain sexual gratification from these rather mundane dalliaiices Personally the Queens por trait on $1 bill does about the same for me as the Mounties musical ride on $50 Before we wander too far onto such turf lets get to todays miserly little murderous happening Eliza Mary Barrow was nasty Woman who lived in Lon don England at the turn of the cnetury She was illtempered dressed in rags and was born miser shilling had about as much chance of passing through Marys hands as camel would have of getting through the eye of needle In fact it was nigh onto im possible because Mary would literally starve rather than part with coin of the realm Because of her decidedly frugal bent she accumulated what passed as small fortune Relatives back in 1902 were much the same as relatives to day yhey catered to those who managed to save more of the green than they themselves Advantage Nasty Mary wise in the ways of saving pound took every advtange of her kith and kin From 1902 to 1908 she forced her dirty presence and nasty dis position on distant relatives named Grant When both Mr and Mrs Grant went to their great reward Mary adopted their two children Hilda and Ernie She tossed Hilda into an or phanage but kept the seven yearold Ernie as her ward She tried to live with another set of relatives but things just didnt work out In fit of rage the nasty one spat in the face of one of these latest relatives So Mary was asked not politely to vacate the premises Still lugg ing little Ernie with her she took an unfurnished flat at 63 Tollington Park Now must point out that because of the parsimonious life Mary had led during her 40 some nasty years she was now more than somewhat comfort able She had penny pinched her way to about 4000 pounds and owned public house with an adjoining barber shop In 1910 you had to say that Mary was loaded It was her misfortune to meet and become the tenant of Ilenry Seddon You dear Henry was miser himself and loved the feel of gold every bit as much as Mary He lived in his own building at 63 Tollington with his wife four children and halfwitted maid Henry and Mary became good friends We suspect that Henry guessed early on in the game that Mary kept few pounds in her room Henry knew all about counting loose bills on quiet summers night Heliked doingithimself It kind of boggles the im agination to picture two people in different rooms under the Total seal hunt catch ST JOHNS Nfld CPI The seal hunt for lar eships off northern Newfoun land offi cially ended Sunday but the 51 Canadian and five Norwegia vessels all had left the ice sev eral days earlier Canadian vessels wound up with 46700 harp seals well be low their quota of 62000 same roof going into raptures counting moneyllate at night But then other characters who have graced these essays have done even stranger things late at night behind closed doors By the end of 1910 nasty Mary and tight Henry were very dear friends Mary began to have real fear of losing her fortune and of course she shared her fear with Henry Never one at loss for ideas where money was concerned Henry suggested an annuity He would personally set up an annuity of 10 pounds month for life for Mary in exchange for her cash stocks and proper ty Went for it Mary went for the deal and received her first payment of 10 pounds in gold in the first week of January 1911 For several months things proceeded smoothly at til Toll ington Then Mary started to complain of tummy ache It got so annoying that she visited Dr Paul three times in one month The doctor did not con sider her condition serious and treated her for an upset stomach On Sept Mary suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and became violently ill One of Henrys daughters Maggie was sent to fetch Dr Paul He couldnt get away but Dr Sworn so help me attended Mary He treated her for diar rhea Throughout September Marys condition deteriorated rapidly until on Sept 14 she died Dr Sworn swore that the cause of death was diarrhea and unhestitantingly signed the death certificate That morning Henry ever the stickler for detail called on an undertaker Henry dickercd with the funeral director for the cheapest burial money could buy He even asked for receipt for higher amount that he ac tually paid so that when he charged Marys estate there really wasnt that much left Henry had almost all of her worldly possessions Of course her 10 pounds month income ceased upon her death Henry appeared to have it made but not quite Marys relatives expecting to pick up quick inheritance came out of the woodwork They were amazed to find out that everything was tied up neatly by an unobtrusive little man named Henry They contacted the police with enough suspicious facts dowless basement and for hir ing members of the American Indian Movement DO GOOD JOI Allmand said he believes Car dinal will do good job but since hes been used to polit ical position it may be difficult for him to adjust into the role of the public servant But think his heart is cer tainly in the right place Allmand former solicitor general also said there is an inordinate and unreasonably large number of Indians in our prisons that month later Marys body was exhumed It was found to contain more than enough arsenic to have caused her death On Dec Henry was arrested month later Mrs Seddon was arrested as well On March 1912 the Scddons trial for the murder of Mary Barrow took place in Londons famousOld Bailey Embarrassing little details came up at the trial The day after Mary died Henry had gone to jeweller with ring and watch which had belong ed to Mary He had the ring ad justed to fit his finger and Marys name removed from the watch
