THE OSHAWA DAILY TIVES, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2 2, 1932 23. After Business. Hours Phone 300. WHITBY EDITOR--JAMES H. ORMISTON YOUTH CHARGED WITH THEFT 1S FOUND NOT GUILTY Evidence of "of Accomplice _ Discredited in County Court "1n the County Judge's Crimin- Court 'on Thursday, Jake Titus, a laborer and trapper in the wnship of Brock, was placed trial on a charge of breaking and entering the premises of the Canada Railway and News Com- pany, at Blackwater and stealing therefrom a number of blankets, the property of the Sherwooa Construction Company. Accused was found not guilty by His Honor Judge Ruddy and given his liberty. Investigated Theft The principal ' witness called by Crown Attorney J. A. McGib- bon, was County Constable James McCulley, who told of learning from the owners of the blankets that they had been stolen from the sheds and of his investiga- tions revealing that with the ex- eeption of one of them, they had been distributed by one Arthur Edwards to various houses in the district, Edwards is now gerving a term of three months definite and thrée indefinite in the county jail at Whitby, having pleaded guilty to the theft of the blankets before Col. Bick, police magistrate at Cannington.' Con- gtable McCulley had the blankets which he claimed were stolen from the railway sheds at Black- warer well identified, but he found only one blanket in the shack which was occupied by the accused, This, he claimed, Was jdertically the same as those owred by the construction com- pany and stored in the sheu. The parents of the accused, My. and Mrs. Titus, and a man with them in the house, gave evi- dence to the effect that the blan- ket found on the bed by the con- stable had been in their posses- 'sion for two years, being taken in, they said, on a trade in a car deal. Important Evidence . Arthur Edwards, testified that §n October last, the month in which the alleged theft was com- mitted, he and Titus were living 4n a shack together, and that Ayben it got cold one night, Titus suggested getting some blankets and told him that there were me stored in the sheds at Black- ater." 'Edwards claimed that Ti #fus used his car, drove with him to the sheds and each held up a window for the other in order fo.effect entry into the shed. Ed- wards further claimed that Titus took the blankets while he held the bag. It was given in evidence that Mitus was arrested by Provincial Constable Mitchell, of Oshawa, Ere | the hig He ie a of the a on the eyes. Have yours fdepands largaly | NOW, C. H. Tuck, Opt.D. 1516--Phone--1516 Disney Block - Opp. P.O. and assisted Constable McCulley [* 'in making the investigation which ied to the est of both Titus and Edwards, Accused Claimed te In his own defence Titus went jnto the witness box and denied teat he had gone to the shed with Edwards as alleged. He algo denied that he had taken any | of the blankets or assisted Bd- wards in any way to take them. He gave as the possible reason for Edwards giving such evidence against him that he and Edwards had fallen out some weeks be- fore the arrests and were bad triends. The dispute was alleg- cd to have been over a car deal. The Defense W. F, Gregg, of Uxbridge, de- terse counsel, asked the judge to dismiss the case on the ground that the Crown had failed to prove that his client was guilty. It had not been brought out, ex- cept through the evidence of an secomplice, that Titds had tak- en any of the blankets, the one found in his shack having been there, according to several wit- nesses, for over two years. Mr, Gregg also pointed out the fact that the evidence went to show that all of the blankets had been distributed by Edwards, a fact which would seem to establish that he was the owner. Crown Attorney McGibbon held thut a clear case hid been made out against the accused, He ask- ed His Honor to consider whose evidence he could believe, that of Edwards, who had taken his medicine for his part in the theft end now came to the Court and told a straight story which had not been- broken down in eross- examination, or that of the ac- cused, who appeared to have heen implicated in the theft. Found Not Guilty Judge Ruddy in summing up, expressed serious doubt on sev- ¢ral grounds as to the guilt of the accused and stated that ac- | cused was entitled to the benefit of that doubt. His Honor did not Lelleve the evidence given by Edwards, an accomplice, and felt that a strong point in Titus' fa- vor was that all of the blankets Lad been distributed by Edwards who appeared to be the owner. His Honor also attached some importance fo the claim of Titus that Edwards had given the evi- dence against him which he did Lecause they were bad Yriends. It was the duty of the Crown, His Honor said, to completely estab- lish the guilt of accused, but in his opinion this had not been done. USING CANADIAN FERTILIZERS HELPS CANADIAN INDUSTRIES In calling attention to the fact that depreciated currency has raised the price of imported fer- tilizers, George H. Clark, Domin- ion Seed Commissioner, ' points out that during the past two veurs the facilities for the man- ufacture of fertiliezrs in Canada liave been materially extended. As a matter of fact, during that period four new plants for the manufacture of superphosphate have been established, and these have a combined capacity suffi- clent fo more than supply the entire domestic demand. Being located regiomally these plants are prepared to serve Canadian farmers in all parts of the Dos minion,; 'By purchasing Cana- dian-made superphosphate Can- adians are helping not only this new industry but also our do- mestie, sulphuric acid industry, as fifty per cent by weight of sulphuric acid must be used with the phosphate rock in the manu- facture of superphosphate," Mr. i ment, TOWER TARIFFS LIKELY ON NEW ZEALAND BUTTER (Continued from page 1) bas been a reopening of the New Zealand market for Canadian automobiles and farm imple- ments and better terms for Cana- dian newsprint, timber and fish. The abrogation of the former arrangement with New Zealand in October of 1930, combined with world economic conditions, almost wiped out Canada's ex- ports of motor cars and imple- ments to the Antipodes, Newsprint exports were not so greatly affected, although they, too, declined after New Zealand, perturbed by the high Canadian tariff on butter, removed Canadas from the preferred column of the New Zealand tariff, Recent trade figures issued by the Federal Bureau of Statistics make possible a comparison of trade between the two countries during the year immediately pre- ceding the abrogation of the former arrangement and the 12 months immediately following. During the 12 months ending with Sept. 30, 1930, a few days before the old . agreement was wiped out, Canada sold New Zea- lang $18,317,945 worth of goods and bought from that country $18,122,579. In the year ending Sept. 31 ,1931--the first 12 months during which no agree- ment : existed---Canadian exports to New Zealand totalled $6,792,- 530, while New Zealand sent here $2,177,610 worth of goods.

SAYS EUROPE MUST * SETTLE PROBLEMS, | Secretary Stimson Sends | Reply to Inquiries of Premier Laval Washington, Jan, 21,--Amer!- ca's reply to Buropean overtures seeking advice on the reparations | and debts problem is that Eur- ope must work out its own plans. This was stated authoritative- ly to the press after Secretary of State Stimson had received a message from Ambasador wmdge in Paris summarizing conversa- tions with Premier Laval, The Premier indirectly sought the United States' attitude on yossible extension of the Hoover moratorium, expiring June 30. Up to Europe Paris, Jan. 21.--Europe must setlle its reparations problem by itself, France was told inform- ally in an American reply to the suggestions on debts and repar- ations made by Premier Pierre Laval on Saturday to Walter E. Edge, the United States Ambas- sador. The reply definitely placéa the responsibility for a reparations settlement on Europe, since the United States has no hand or ghare in reparations, and reaf- firmed the United States debt policy as enunciated in Congress. The reply enumerated the car- dinal points of United States pol- icy as follows: 1. The United States will con- sider each nation's debt on its merits and will not rush into a collective settlement of all form- er Allied debts. 2. The United States does not consider the debt problem press- ing, because no payments are due until December 18. 8. Under the Hoover-Laval a- greement, any initiative or re- adjustment of debts must come from Eurpe, but the European nations have not yet formally ap- proached Washington. Britain Not Advised London, Jan, 21..--Great Brit- ain has not been officially in- formed of Premier Laval's action in seeking information for France regarding the attitude of the United States toward a pro- potal to extend the Hoover mor utorium until some time toward the end of this year. There i8 no criticism of Pre- mier Laval here for sounding out the United States on exten- sion of the moratorium, All a- long the British Government has been tne to accommodate bin views on the Lausanne meeting to those of France and Ger- many, FARMERS CLAIM f SAP IS FLOWING Belleville, Jan, 22.~-Sap. is" flowing in some parts of 'the Belleville district, . according to farmers who have been in the | One noticed a dark mark on a tree and investigation showed that it was not from melting snow but was sap.
