Mr. Clineâ€"‘The only complaint I have in regard to the police is that the chief didn‘t take me into the tent and let me smw him how the game was being worked." Magistrate Atkinsonâ€"â€"‘This operated under a provincial 1i is therefore under the supe the province. If the attorney Addressing the meeting.

Cline was introduced to the meeting by Thomas Lawrence, official of the local < Communist party, to which organization the former carniâ€" val employee first came with his alâ€" leged disclosure. ‘"Mr. Cline came to our organization and gave definite proof that the wheels were crooked," said Lawrence. "He saw Councillor Wren but he didn‘t think there was much that could be done about it. Later Mr. Cline received a letter from the attorneyâ€"general‘s department in which he was advised that the matter had been placed in the hands of the Iccal crown attorney. Mr. Yates, the assistant crown attorney, said that in his own mind there was something wrong but that it was hard to get enough evidence to warrant a proseâ€" cution,‘"‘ Mr. Lawrence told the comâ€" mission.

All that we are concerned with is whether or not the police acted propâ€" erly in the matter. I am not upholdâ€" ing crooked games but the Chief went there and after investigating could not find nothing wronz. Councillor Wren also made an inspection." Austin Neame, commander of Zone 21 of the Canadian Legion and an apâ€" pointss of the Provincial Command, told the inquiry that Cline had apâ€" proached him and that he could not see that there was any evidence that the wheels were being operated illegally. Once again the chief said that he could see no way that the scantling mentioned by Cline could have any efâ€" fect on the wheel. He also informed the mesting that Councillor Wren had inspected the place and could find nothing caut of order.

Cling, who claimed that he resigned from the show after working in the employ of the Conklin company in North Bay, claimed that when he and the chief of police lifted up the canâ€" vas at the rear of the concession in which the wheel was being run, the man in charge had his foot on the loose scantling and had kicked it away in front=of their eyes.
