He was identified by several second-hand clothes dealers and mer- chants as the man who had purchas- ed or exchanged wearing apparel at their establishments, The crown proved that on June 10th. last, he entered the Patterson home nH od, 2 Sublg hy Sian uo , There throttled to deal the defenceless woman and violated her, Clothing which the investiga: tors found lying over the mutilated body, was later identified as apparel that Nelson had bought at a shop in the city, After committing the einous crime, he searched the pre. mises, ghanged into a suit of clothes belonging to Mr, Patterson and left the house unseen with $80, a portion of the family savings. : ! One witness positively identified Nelson as a "suspicious character" he had noticed hovering about the perch of the Patterson dwelling on the day the murder was committed. Another witness swore that Nelson was the customer who had purchased a new outfit at his store and left his old clothing, which Mr, Patterson to Winnipeg, "| identified as those stolen from his home, A number of articles and per- sonal trinkets missing from the Pat- terson dwelling, were found in the pockets of the discarded suit, City Thrown Into Panic On the day Mrs, Patterson's body was found under the bed in the house, by the distracted husband, the city was thrown into panic by the discovery of 'the strangled remains of Lola Cowan, a high school girl, Bothwcrimes had been perpetrated in almost an identical manner, Pursuing their inyestigation, the authorities ascertained that Nelson had ogcupied the room in which Lola Cowan's body was found, and then had mysteriously vanished, The crime was definitely ascribed to the brutal clutch of the "Strangler." Nelson's trial was followed west and into Regina, Sask, where he again purchased a new outfit, The clothing he disposed of in a second hand shop there, had been bought in Winnipeg. Back-tracking into Mani- toba, Refeon was apprehended near Killarney, Man., on June 16 and pla- ced in the town jail, During the night the prisoner effected his escape by picking the cell locks with a small nail file, Nelson's freedom was short-lived, He was captured on the following day by a posses of farmers and pro- vincial policemen a few miles south of Wapoka, Man, near the interna- tional boundary. Throughout his trial and jail con- finement, Nelson maintained an air of utter indifferences. Not once dur- ing the court ordeal did he manifest the slightest concern in the proceed- ings, e maintained his innocence of the crimes charged against him right to the last and steadfastly in- sisted that he had never been in Winnipeg or at any other places in the United States where the "Strang- ler" was active, It was in San Francisco, Calif., on February 20, 1926, according to the police, that the ranger' began his homicidal tour, in the course of which he has been linked with bring- ing horrifying death to 22 women and one child, _ The trial of death, more than 7,000 miles long, extended almost the en- tire. fength of the Pacific coast, reathed across the United States to the Atlantic seaboard, then doubling back and ended in Manitoba.

Those that know nothing of Regi- mental messes will drink to His Ma- jesty in various ways, Some wave their glasses high, others forget to stand at attention with their coffee cups, But in a Mess the health is taken standing, as men should, with arms in' the posture of the Army's most solemn salute, Officers and gentlemen gathered at the Regimental Mess of the Ontario Regiment last night . for the new year's first military function in Osh- awa, Brig, Gen, A, H, Bell, CMG, D.S.0,, colonel commandant of Na- tional Defence Distrist No, 2, To- ronto, Meaded the list of honored guests from the headquarter's staff and sister regiments of the district. Including the officers of the Ontario Regiment commanded by Lieut, Col. Frank Chappell, some 75 gathered u- bout the famous: Ontario County unit's mess table which bore the massy silver plate of its honors and friendships, Lieut, Col, J, F, Grierson, former commander of the Regiment, presen- ted the Mess with pictures of two of its earlier commanders which are to take their place in the gallery of the room where the leaders of near- ly seventy years of history look down upon their successors, One of the pictures is of Lieut. Col, James Wallace, second officer 'commanding the old 34th Regiment, the name of which was changed fol- lowing the late war, Col, Wallace served in 1872, and a picture of his successor, Lieut, Col. W. Warren, 1874, was the second of Col. Grierson's gifts, Captain' C, A, Mason, president of the mess, was toastmaster with Ma- jor R, B, Smith commanding the Whitby Company, as vice president, The toast to His Majesty was fol- lowed by compliments to District Military Headquarters, proposed by Major H, E, Smith' and replied to by General Bell, Col, Renaud, D.S.0,, M.C,, propos- ed the Ontario Regiment which was as eloquently responded to by Lieut. Col. Chappell, The Ontario Regiment band, which played during the eourses, greeted Col, Renaud's toast with the Regi- mental air, "D"ve Ken John Pecl?" Maj® E. C. Hodgins proposed the 25th Regiment's health and prosper- ity and Lieut. Col. Conover, brigade major of that unit, replied, Lieut, Col, H, 8.

For on that foundation Chevrolet in 1933 will still maintain the lead it attained in 1027, "All automobile organizations that amount to anything are strip- ped for action, You are going to meet keener and harder competi- tion, But we have today a Chevro- let organization fit to meet it, "But there are many cheering factors, You have the most won- derful product at the most won- derful price ever offered, Census of Industry "Statistics also tell us what to expect, The automobile census of Canada and the United States show that there are 25,000,000 cars in operation, Normal distribution. of new cars total 4,000,000 automo- biles yearly, But in 1927 only 3, 600,000 new cars were sold, This means that with the tremendous interest created in the buying pub- lic's mind, this year's total sales shonld be 4,500,000. cars. Some better able to judge than I say 5,000,000 will be gold. "However, taking the conserva- tive estimate of 4,500,000----which is the normal sale volume plus the 500,000 cars to make good from 1927--the question is who is going to get that business?" "We are!" the thousand dealers and salesmen roared back, *"Chey- rolet!"" Mr, McKinnon then dwelt on the value of the new car, the greatest value in automotive history, Not a ere response 1o competition but an expression of General Mot: ors tixed policy. The Bigger and Better Chevrolet comes from General Motors lab- oratories at Dayton, Ohio, the greatest research institution of its kind in the world, it comes into the gelling field of 1928. from . the General Motors proving grounds at Milford, Michigan--1,245 acres of countryside laid out in roads that test not only General Motors products but every other car manu- factured in North America or in Europe. "I'he new Chevrolet comes to the public already tested and proved," Mr, MacKinnon declared, *"Chey- rolet does not build a car and then ask the public to do our experi- menting for us!" Mr, MacKinnon's - speech con- cluded with a review of General Motors in Canada. Back of the in- dustry which is truly Canadian was the famous McLaughlin Carrige Company at Oshawa, founded by Robert McLaughlin. There, in re- sponse to the challenge of the new era, his sons--George W. Me- Laughlin and R, 8. McLaughlin began Canada's great automotive industry, In 1918 the Company was pur- chased by General Motors with R. S. McLaughlin as president, but it still stands Canadian to the heart's core, Reviews Product "Over 65 per cent. of the Chey- Schofield, Oshawa; W. A. Coad, -| Oshawa; C. N, Henry, Oshawa; Capt. D. J.

Eloguently, then Mr. MacKiu- non reviewed the things which promise such prosperity for 1928. } In the west British Columbia mines are thriving as never befoie and the speaker paid a tribute Yo the Canadian Pacific Railway for its great share in that develop- ment, The Prairie Provinces are rejoicing in the second greatest crop in their history, Manitoba turng from undivided attention to agriculture to develop its northern mines, Central Canada has entered a perfod of prosperity that will break all records of its past and the Maritimes show improvement in spirit and business outlook which he ascribed to the accept. ance of the Duncan report recom- mendations, Canada's destiny, is not agricultural, "No nation purely agricultural ever got very far in the world," he stated, "we in Canada are not going to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for others, "Canadian products of the field and mine and forest will be manu- factured at home, Pulp, for in- stance, is worth twelve cents a pound; but processed into artificial silk it is worth $1.25 a pound." Canada's Future He closed with a declaration of loyalty to a British future, Under the flag which throws its gallant folds te the breezes of this imper- ial porthland, Canada is going for- ward to meet its destiny as the greatest of British nations on the face of the earth, Mr, MacKinnon sat down and before the thousand could swing into cheers for his eloquence, the orchestra struck up "0 Canada" to which each man in the banquet hall rose and sang its solemn words, An ovation was then tendered Chevrolet's sales manager both in tumultous cheers and the singing of the song by which men express their appreciation of a leader, Chairman's Address Ewart Everson, chairman of the banquet, was the first speaker of the evening, His address was the essence of super-salesmanship and a setting of high goals for the cur- rent year, As with each speaker, Mr. Ever- son revealed how deeply the possi- bilities of the great Dominion have impressed the minds of its men. He saw a period of unexampled expansion ahead. The next quarter of a century will bring in the mil- lions of mew people which Can- ada needs, and Canadian good roads will follow them with a net- work of progress wherever they may make their settlements or build their cities, On those roads, he declared, automobiles by the 'hundreds of thousands will con- neect every section of the Dominion, and he prophesied that the Chey- rolet © of tomorrow will lead amongst those hundreds of thous- ands just as it leads today, Mr. Everson stressed the value of General Motors advertising, so ably presented in Canada under tke _direction of W. M, Robertson, General Motors of Canada's ad- vertising manager, Its qualities, he declared, truthfulness and inspira- tion, serving not only to sell Gen- eral Motors products but. putting living ideas into the great force of retail salesmen upon whom the whole structure of manufacturing effort rests, i Bees Great Year Manager Dawson of the Domin- ion Bank, Toronto, followed Mr. MacKinnon with ap address neces- sarily brief because of a cold, but he declared that banks in general looked forward to 1928 with optim- ism, The past year had been the best in Canada since 1920, he stated, and every portent indicated that 1928 would surpass. He wish- ed the Chevrolet organization the greatest possible measure of suec- cess in this and the coming years. J. J. Seitz, president of A. D. Gorrie and Company, Ltd., Toron- to, largest distributors of General Motors Products in Ontario, was the next spezker, His rising to speak was taken as a signal by scores of his saleslmen present to rise apd sing, with the orchestra' ccompanying, "Waiting for the Sunrise" which classic of popular music was written by Mr, Seitz's son. His speech was a perfect blend- ing of humor and deep-feeling con- gratulations. A man of very wide affairs, he reported a receamt trip to New York where, at a banquet he attended, he did not hesitate to suggset that the United States should annex itself to Canada or, at least, General Motors uld center all its interests at wa. He paid a tribute to Ross Mac- Kinnon whom he declared the greatest of sales mapagers and asked Toronto dealers to bear him witness that in Mr. MacKinnon they had found 8 man who played the game fair, and straight at all times under alt condi- tions. The banquet assembly before he declared, CHEV PLA Royal Alexandra is Packed With Chevrolet Dealers, Salesmen and Service Men from All Parts of Ontario --Balcony Filled With Ladies -- Play Teaches Salesmanship and Its Showing from Coast to Coast Will Add Thous- ands of Cars to Sales .in 1928 Chevrolet players of General Motors of Canada, Limited, began their 1928 tour of the Dominion at Royal Alexandra Theatre, To» ronto, yesterday afternoon, pre- senting "Bigger and Better," a national salesmanship stimulation revue. The theatre was packed from stalls to gods with Chevrolet deglers' families, who were gal- lantly referred to: by Ross Mac- vue's angelic patronage. The greatest thing about *"Big- ger and Better" is the idea from whieh it grew. It's new, newer even than the 1928 Chevrolet which has rolled its striking way into the Canadian buying public's universal admiration. The stage has long been des- cribed as either a cultural or edu- cational agent, or both, But in Chevrolet's "Bigger and Better' revue it is startlingly shown that the stage's educational value has no more than been touched, The play, for it is a play con- forming to the unities of stage craft, comic relief, dialogue, and climax, teaches more saleaman- ship in the three hours that it runs than most people could as- similate, Sotherwise, in a three months' course, Teach Salesmanship More, it doesn't hore, Sent across Canada as a straight com- pany, teaching salesmanship, it would command audiences of playgoers generally at standard prices, As it is, it goes to the dealers and salesmen of provinces and districts and its effect will be marked by thousands of cars seld in this year's Cheyrolet production total. The players, all from the Osha- wa organization, are technically classed as amateurs, but no pro- fessional actor was ever more 1928 TOUR ON IN TORONTO THEATRE q BEGIN INION Kinnon as representing the re-. thoroughly lost in the parts they play than the Chevrolet players. For one thing, they play parts that are familiar to them--for the most part--in real life, and they do' it splendidly. Bill Mullen and Jim Simpson are the stars of the show, and it should be remembered that the players carry their real names in this revue. Mullen plays the part of a sat- isfled and a rather old-fogeyish dealer at Hometown. Progressive in a sense, but critical of "new fangled ideas" from. head office. His 'reform' and 'his reactons thereto are among thé high lights of the play. He"is perfect in his part, From end to end of Cana- da those that see him will think of some Jones, Smith, Brown--not necessarily a dealer -- whom he seems to impersonate, Jim Simpson plays a farmer and plays it with humor, intimate knowledge of the sterling charac- ter underlying the bit of bur- lesque, which is sunnily humorous and not an exaggerated satire. The 'other players are to be mentioned as they appear. "Bigger and Better' gets un- derway in darkness which centres all eyes on the stage's special drop curtain which indicates a window lighted by early dawn. Flutes from some vast distance play an overture of industry and then the curtain ascends so that a moving picture as a prologue nay show the making of the new Chevrolet. Aeroplane Views Aeroplane views disclose the vast assemblage of plants at Osh- awa; the camera's eyes go into the factories where ever-moving assembly lines carry each 'new Chevrolet towards completion, The leaders of the industry are shown in close-ups, R. 8.

"We appreciate General Motors in Hamilton," he declared, "and the same is true for Toronto and throughout Canada where, I am assured, General Motors of both the United States and Canada spends more annually than Cana- dians pay back in the purchase of motor cars, This is one of the fac- tors responsible for the position of the Canadian dollar in the mar- kets of the world." .

Lee Fong. The four men as well as sev eral others were found by a local officer in an alleged dive on Bond street on Christmas Day, When the constable walked in om them, he found them busily engaged in playing fan tan, and a number were summoned, According to their counsel, J.
