At one end of the receiving set is the sending key, Sent from the old city hall, which stood near the present site of the lower 8t, Lawrence Market in cen- tral Toronto and which later was destroyed by fire, the first message carried greetings from Mayor W, H, Boulton of Toronto to the Mayor of Hamilton, The commemorative message will go from Toronto's Mayor R, H, Saunders to Mayor Samuel Lawrence of Hamilton, When the lines spread out to link Toronto with Buffalo, Montreal, New York and other cities, news- papers started to use them to trans- mit news dispatches" Before the successful laying of the Atlantic cable, European newspapers came to Canada and the United States by fast packet ships and correspond- ents prepared special digests of them for telegraphic transmission, "On days of publication ~-- for there were no dally papers in Tor~ onto then -- the editors would come to the office and crowd about as I read the news off the tape," R. F, Ersson, a ploneer operator, wrote later, "Frequently when there was some political news that would please him, Hon, George Brown, editor of the Globe, would give a 'Ha!' of satisfaction, As all the editors did not see eye to eye on political mat- ters, there usually followed a hot and sometimes an acrimonious ar- gument across the table, In the meantime, the news, no matter how important, had to wait until one ide | or the other was utterly cone uted.' Stereotypers' Abduction Delays Paper Wichita, Kas, Dec, 16.-- (AP) --Police today were investigating a report of the abduction of four Wichita Eagle stereotypers after an augmented picket line of strik. ing members of the American Newspaper Guild (CIO) Saturday night delayed publication of the newspaper's Sunday editions for 12 hours, Guild spokesmen dis- claimed responsibility for the ale leged abduction, Police said four stereotypers on the newspaper told them they were abducted by eight strangers when they reported for work, They were released ' yesterday from a turist cabin outside the city, The paper was unable to pub. lish for 12 hours when its night shift atereotypers refused to cross the picket line of the Guild, whose 21 members are involved in a month-long wage dispute with The Eagle, The picket line, which at times during the night numbered 75, was composed mainly of sympath- izers from three other C.].0, uni. ons--The United Packinghouse Workers of America, the United Automobile Workers and the Oil Workers of America, The stereo- typers are members of the nter- national Stereotypers and Electro. typers Union (AFL), The Guild's picket line disper sed yesterday and the paper got its Sunday editions on the press gud sald it would continue to pub. sh, The editorial workers, who are asking a base salary of 2'¢1 for a 40-hour week, have maintainea small picket lines day and night during the strike, but the news. paper continued publication wtil several staff members who did not belong to the Guild, The newspaper has offered Gull members $60 for a 48-hour week, Greece To Hold Protest Strike Athens, Dec, 16 -- (AP) -- All Greece is scheduled to come to a four-hour standstill Wednesday in protest against the Foreign Minister Council's refusal to grant demands to change the Bulgarian-Greek border in Greece's favor.

TRANSPORT UPSET A Bescoby's transport upset in the ditch on the north side of No, 2 Highway just west of Ajax at about eight o'clock this morning. Judge German (Continued from Page 1) the evidence and it is e;pected that representations will be made Mon- day, in Toronto, to free the county judge on bond, pending hearing of the appeal, Longest Criminal Trial The jury of farmers from the United Counties of Durham and Northumberland returned its ver- dicts at @ p.m. Saturday, to close, on the 11th day, the longest crim- inal trial ever held in this county seat, A stunned court heard Sher- wood Hayden, jury foreman, report two unanimous verdicts for convic- tion, Less than two hours earlier Judge Ainslie Wright of Muskoka had indicated to the jurymen that they might well acquit the Cobourg Jurist of both charges, None of the 12 jurors even glan- ced at the accused jurist as they filed back into the courtroom after deliberating for one hour and 50 minutes, The ruddy-faced, grey~ haired accused flushed a deeper color as he sat in a corner of the prisoner's box and heard the jury foreman pronounce him guilty «<n both charges. After the jury was polled on each charge at defense counsel's request, the convicted judge stood in the prisoner's box and looked intently at his fellow-jurist on the bench, who asked: "Have you anything to say?" Judge German remained silent, and Mr, Greer replied for him: "No, your honor." Judge Wright imposed a fine of $250, without mentioning costs, on the dangerous driving count and imposed the minimum sentence of 30 days "in the common Jail" on the charge of drunken driving, Prosecution Strongly Objects Immediately the jury withdrew from the courtroom to consider the evidence, Crown Prosecutor Frank Wallace of Brantford took heated exception to the address Judge Wright had made, "I object to the whole of the charge, from start to finish, with the exception of five statements," Mr, Wallace told the court, "with all due deference to your honor." The five statements to which there was no exception were such as that the jury must reach its verdict on the evidence, and accused is entitled to benefit of doubt, ete, "Your honor has in your dlscre- tion read to the gentlemen of the jury facts and bound cases which bear no relation to this case and I strenuously object," Mr, - Wallace continued, "I object to your hon. or's reference to mens rea (gullty mind) mens rea is not in the char- ge. Your honor is in error regard. ing the question of mens rea, "I object to your honor stating to the jury that as 'a matter of law the blood test for alcoholic content is not infallible, not dependable'; and that 'nor is the smell of liquor on the breath'." Mr. Wallace "strenuously" ob- Jected to Judge Wright referring to an appeal court decision denying as d & man whose blood test showed 3.8 parts of alcohol per 1,000 parts, a rate which compared with 3.1 alcohol in the blood of Judge German an hour after his car struck & woman here Sept, 8, "You omitted to tell the jury that there was an acknowledged error in the blood test in the case you cited to them," sald Mr Wallace, who dur ing his objections to the bench 1st for the first time the smiling ur- banity which had marked his man- ner in dealing with each of the 41 witnesses and others concerned in the long trial, In his address Judge Wright men= tioned by name four medical prac- titioners, three of them specialists, who gave evidence. "You go through the evidence of the Crown and defense and pick out only four men, none of whom saw the accus- ed on the night In question," Mr, Wallace protested, "The jury should have been told about the lay wit- nesses who actually saw the acous- ed that night, Of those four you named, one of them gave rebuttal evidence for the Crown, the others were for the defense." Defense Protests Jury Recall Defense Counsel Greer protested against the suggestion that the Jury be recalled for a further charge by Judge Wright, "I feel the charge Was eminently fair, both as regards your honor's comments, the evi- dence and the selection," Mr, Greer sald, "All the evidence does not need review and your honor did not comment on the evidence by lay witnesses for either side. It is not necessary to recall the jury, I feel that your honor's charge was ade- quate and in law, You have the right to select technical evidence for comment; they are able to de- cide on the lay evidence without any nD Nn his charge to the jury, Ju Wright quoted an Pradtiy i Court judge, who remarked that "a small amount of liquor can cause a large amount of smell," and cited several supreme gourt decisions re- garding alcohol, "On the subject of the alcoholle content of the accused's blood," sald Judge Wright, "I charge you, gentlemen, that a matter of law that is not infallible, not a depend- able symptom of intoxication, nor, of course, is the smell of liquor, You can't convict on either of these cir- cumstances without more contribu- tory evidence." - Experts Say Symptoms Similar "If you accept the evidence of Dr, Hipwell (Toronto specialist in liabe- tes, who testified for the defense) and Dr, Watson (London specialist in diabetes, who appeared for the Crown, as to the similarity of symptoms in the case of alcoho and insulin reaction; if you recog nize a grave doubt existing--I use the words of Dr, Hipwell--if . you, y believe--and I don't know why shouldn't, but, of course, you the judge of that--then you cannot attribute such symptoms to alcohol They may have been due to insulin reaction, If they may be due to ale cohol and to insulin reaction, then as a matter of law you must give the accused the benefit of the doubt." if Judge Wright sald that a "Dome sible defense" to the dangerous. driving charge "is incapacity." He repeated what he had sald about the evidence of similarity of symp. | toms in alcohol and insulin reaction | and said that if the jury believed | that evidence "then the accused, a | diabetic under medical treatment for diabetes, may not have been! able to control his actions because of that ailment, and, if #0 his be havior was not inconsistent with his innocense and your duty would ke to bring in a verdict of acquite al" i Mr, Wallace told the jury: "You | shouldn't feel sorry for any one in| this trial, but if you do feel sorry for any one, I suggest that you feel | sorry for the little Scotch woman up in Cobourg General Hospital who has been there 14 long weeks, leaving her 'family of six children at home.
