2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, March 22, 1966 HITCHING UP HIS sleeves, Prince Philip shows his bare wrists to Anthony Schmidt of Mount Forest, Ont., a student at Variety Village in Toronto Monday. Denis I ontinues OTTAWA (CP)--Like actors at a stage-play audition, two lawyers read aloud for two hours in court Monday in an unusual procedure to recall to the jury the weeks-old testi- mony of a witness at the Ray- mond Denis trial. Crown Attorney John Cassells| and defence counsel Louis As- saly, one reading the questions and the other the replies, again put before the jurors the testi- mony of Pierre Lamontagne that Denis offered him $20,000 tn the Lucien Rivard affair. Then Mr. Lamontagne, 30- year-old Montreal lawyer, re- sumed testimony to say he got "quite threatening" phone calls after refusing the money and that Denis had told him he would tell former justice min- ister Favreau who was behind the offer. Denis, 33-year-old former ex- ecutive assistant to the federal) {mmigration minister, is being tried on a charge of corruptly offering a sum of money to Mr. Lamontagne to have the latter; drop opposition to bail for Ri- vard. TOLD OF OFFER Mr. Lamontagne testified the offer was made July 14, 1964, while he was lawyer for the United States government - in Montreal court proceedings to extradite Rivard for trial in the U.S. on narcotics ch Ri- vard has since been. convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The review of Mr. Lamon- tagne's testimony arose out of the fact that the jury of 10 men and two women has been ex- arges.
