In a voice that sounded un- naturally clear in the stilled room he asked: "How many times was the rock dropped upon her head?" Wken Dr. Fielden shook his head saying he didn't know Bilton nod- ded, "That is all I wish to ask you," he said dismissing Dr. Fielden. Warned Not To Tell Barbara Laurie, 14-year-old daughter of the slain woman told a graphic story of Bilton's relation- ship with her mother. "He came to «the house quite frequently," she told the court. "To visit whom?" Crown Attorney Hall asked. "My mother." "Did your mother ever go away with him?" "Yes, sir. She went away with him for two weeks once." "How do you know she was with Bilton?" "Mother told me." "Did you ever tell your father that Bilton was visifing the house while your father was at work?" "No, sir, he sald he would smash my face if I told father." Coming around to the day. she last saw her mother and sister Patricia alive Barbara said she saw Bilton, her mother and sister leaye the house together. "I was home when Bilton came for mother," she said. "Did they tell yoii where 'they were going?" "Yes, sir, they said they were go- ing to his farm." Bilton, who had just been re- leased from- Burwash prison about a month previous to the slaying had no permanent address known to the police. Barbara went on to tell the court how her: mother packed some clothing into two shopping bags, picked up two of Patricia's teddy bears, dressed Patricia and prepared to leave the house with Bilton, Called Him Uncle George "They left the house about 20 minutes to four," she said.

When I got the letter I was to know itgvas meant for me." ! In a clear dry voice Barbara went on to tell the court that she never .|saw her mother or sister Patricia again, "The last thing mother said to me was that she would write and that I wasn't to worry." "You said Bilton visited your house over a period of a year, What did you eall him around the house?" Crown Attorney Hall asked. "Uncle: George." <= "What term did he use in ad- dressing your mother?" "He called her Pat." Asked if he had any questions to ask Barbara, Bilton told His Wor- ship he wanted to speak to the Crown. Crown Attorney Hall walked over to the prisoner's docket and bent his" head close while toh whispered to him. Nodding his head Crown Attorney Hall walked back to the witness stand and addressed Barbara again, "Barbara," he asked; "when your mother left home did she leave any money with you?" "Yes, sir, $5 for groceries." Magistrate Ebbs again asked Bil ton whether he wanted to ask Bars bara any questions. "None at all," was the laconic answer. Kenneth Skene, 14, neighbour of the Lauries told the court he was 1in the Laurie home when Bilton was alleged to have been there Thursday afternoon. "When the three of them .left they walked along Maple Street and cut down onto Cedar Street walking towards the new highway."

" "Do you wish to ask this man any questions?" Magistrate Ebbs asked | Bilton. "I don't wish to speak to him, I | don't wish to speak to him at all," Bilton repeated with a negdtive | shake of his head. Saw Bilton Sunday Ronald Laurie, 16-year-old son of the slain woman was asked whether he saw Bilton again after Bilton left the house. "Yes, sir, I saw him on Sunday, June 16 about 10.50. in the morn- | ing." The slain mother and daughter, it will be remembered, were discov- ered at approximately 2 p.m. Sun- day and doctor V. 8. Cartwright, Pickering coroner and Dr. Fielden ! at the time placed the time of their deaths at approximately Thursday, three days previous to the Sunday Ronald was now talking about, Continuing Ronald said, "Bilton was standing in the doorway of a pool room in Whitby across from Diana Sweets shop. He told me Pat, my mother, was in bed. He said he had to get to the farm to her and he told me he would tell her he had seen me." Ronald told the court he was also at home on the Thursday. "When they left did you know where they were going?" "No, sir, George said he had a job on the farm and said something about them all going to the farm but he didn't say where it was." "Did you ever see. your mother or sister again?" ' "No, sir. That was the last time I saw them." Asked whether he had any ques- tions to ask Ronald, Bilton said: "Yes." . "Would you mind repeating what she was wearing when she left the house?" he asked, "Mother was wearing a red suit," Ronald told him. "That isn't what you said be- fore," Bilton told him. Court reporter George W. Taylor was asked to read back the answer to Crown Attorney Hall's question regarding the clothes mother and daughter had been wearing. Ron had said his mother was wearing a red suit. Bilton was wrong. "Would you mind repeating who Bilton tried again. Ronald did so. "Did I Threaten?" "Anytime I was over to see your mother did I ever say I would strike any of you if you told your father about my viSits?" "Yes you -did," Ronald replied with a show of spirit. "Yeu said you would strike us." "I still think you are lying," Bil- ton told him, "but it is all right with me," he added complacently. Lloyd Horner, told of finding the bodies while out with his family searching for small trees to use for shrubbery purposes at his home. "Could the bodies have been seen from the highway?" Crown At- torney Hall asked him. "No. The bank was too high and the grass where they were lying too tall." who identified the bodies, told the groceries at his store, _ ' Constable Quantrill, after describ- ing the position of the bodies, was cross examined by Bilton. "You say two shopping bags were found beside the bodies?" Bilton asked. "Yes!" "Were they together?" "No!" "How far apart?" "About eight feet!" 4"On the same side of the bodies?" "Nol" After Constable Quantrill left the stand Justice of Peace George Tay- lor stood up and faced the accused man. "You have heard the evidence against you. Is there anything you wish to say in your own behalf? You are not bound to do so but anything you do say will be taken down in writing." "I wouldn't say a word.

"MASSEY-HARRIS LEADERS IN THE IMPLEMENT INDUSTRY SINCE 1847 TO THE FURTHERANCE OF ACRICULTURE Founded and developed on the basis of helpfulness to the farmer, the implement industry is entirely dependent on the prosperity of agriculture for its own success. Through the years, the implement maker has, with quality of product and genuinely helpful service, won the high regard and goodwill of the users of his product. There are few farmers who do not value sincerely the service of the implement company. The farmer and the implement maker have mutual interests in the welfare of agriculture and its progress towards higher standards and improved methods. Work- ing for the common cause both have contributed much to the betterment of farming in general. In the past, new developments in equipment have enabled the farmer to do his work in less time and at less cost. Such equipment has Wélped the farmer offset adverse conditions such as drouth and soil drifting, to combat insect pests and other types of crop destroyers, and fo replace manpower in times of labour shortage: The self-binder, the tractor and power farming machines, the one-way disc and the pull-type combine, each in its time has helped the farmer in making his efforts successful and profitable. Achievements in the past have been .notable and fruitful. Setbacks from time fo time delayed but did not prevent the onward march of agriculture. And the future . «will bring ~advances in farming, too. The self-propelled combine, perfected by Massey- Harris prior to the war, has opened up new fields of possibjlities in implement engineering, and other new _machine developments assure that, in his efforts to further improve agriculture, there will be available to the farmer equipment that will offer greater advantages in saving time, labour and expense. Massey-Harris is proud of its long association with the farmers of Canada in promoting the welfare of agriculture. end with Mr. and Mrs. M. Morgan.
