Thursday, S_e_pt. 25th, 1930 DO YOU Countless remedies are advertised for constipation. Many relieve for the moment but they are habit form- ing and must be continued. Others contain calomel and dangerous min- eral drugs, which remain in the sys- tem, settle in the joints and cause aches and pains. -Some are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave a depressed after effect. Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage nature’s machinery to become lazy. A purely vegetable laxative such as Carter’s Little Liver Pills, gently touches the liver, bile starts to flow, the bowels move gently, the intestines are thoroughly cleansed and constipa- tion poisons pass away. The stomach, liver and bowels are now active and the system enjoys a real tonic effect. All druggists 25c and 75c red pkgs. An Easy, Quick Get-Away SUFFER FROM .. CONSTIPATION?

Coroner’s Jury Says That Eloi Meloche Was Murdered Verdict to This Effect Given at Kirkland Lake at Inquest Into Death of Timmins Man Who Shot Woman at Kirk- land Lake and was First Reported to Have Committed Suicide. Evidence Conflicting on Number of Shots Fired. In connection with the murder party at Kirkland Lake on July lst when a woman formerly living as the wife of Eloi Meloche. of Timmins, was shot and killed, and the same fate occurred to Meloche. while another 'I‘immins man named Emile Groulx was wounded in the hand and jaw by a gunshot, it was first thought that the dead Me- loche was responsible for all the shoot- ing, but the police discovered evidence against this theory and an inquest was recently held into the death of Meloche. The jury's verdict was to the effect that the facts proved that Meloche had not committed suicide as seemed the case at first but that he had been shot by someone else. There are a number of Timmins peOple concerned in the aflray and so there is general interest here. As a matter of fact there should be special interest in the mat- ter all through the North, and a gener- al desire not only to have the case fully cleared up but also to do away, as far as possible, with the conditions that led up to such an outcome. The shoot- ing may be said to be one of the logi- cal outcomes of the growth of condi- tions more or lese conforming to the underworld of some American cities. The following is the report of the inâ€" quest as given by The Northern News ‘ last week :â€" “Who shot Eloi Meloche? This wilt now be determined by police since the coroner‘s jury enquiring into his death at the municipal hall last Thursday night has returned a verdict that "Me- loche came to his death by bullet wounds inflicted in the head at the hands of a person or persons unknown.“ The jury returned the verdict after 22 minutes deliberation. The inquest was the second into the double tragedy at the “Banana Farm” three miles north of Kirkland Lake on July 152. when Eloi Meloche shot and killed his common law wife, Lucien Pelletier, and was then, according to the verdict. murdered. TONIC FOOD BEVERAGE “Nine witnesses were heard and evi- dence was practically identical to that given at the inquest into the death of Mrs. Meloche held Thursday evening, July 3rd. J. Walsh, a witness at the last inquest, was not present, being in custody on a. bad check charge. The witnesses, Dr. W. C. Rumball, Dr. M. Shipley, Const. Dumford, of the Pro- vincial Police, Const. Bird, of the local police force, Dorothy King, T. Bart- lett, Emil Groulx, Fred Laroche, and F. Therriault. The jurists were: J. Tomlin, foreman, J. Edwards, T. Em- ery, A. Mitchell, F. Robertson, G. Ked- dy, C. Evans. The hearing lasted near- ly three hours. Dr. J. F. Edis, coroner, and Crown Attorney 1“. L. Smiley, K.C. conducted the inquiry. “Dr. Rumball told of being called be- tween one and two o’clock in the mom- ing of July lst, to the local police sta- tion. Groulx was suffering from wounds and was taken to the hospital where first aid was given. Dr. C. Harris later brought; in Meloche who was unconscious. He suffered from a! fractured skull. A bullet hole was? found one and one half inches above his right ear believed to be where the bullet entered. An inch and a halt above that near the crown of the head a second hole was found and believed to be the exit of the bullet. There was a slight mark of powder on the tip of the ear and a small ring about the hole. The man died an hour or two later. He did not make any statement being unconscious the whole time. The cause of death was due to a fractured skull the result of the gun shot wound. Dr. Shipley, who conducted the post mortem on Meloche the morning of July 151:, about eight hours after death gave evidence of his findings. There were marks of violence on the head caused by a bullet. There was a slight trace of powder. Behind the wound the scalp was quite raised up and con- tained fluid. The scalp was raised and a blood clot found. The bullet had broken through the outer layer of the skull and had made a depression on the inner layer through which brain substance was oozing. There were long fractures to the base of the skull. Over that there was a great deal of hemor- rage. The bullet had med through THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO but, {here remained a few pieces of steel from the bullet, in the brain. “The coroner asked if the wound could have been self inflicted. The witness said he did not see how Meloche could have held the gun at a sufficient distance not to get powder burns on the ear and cheek. There was just a bit of powder such as normally found from a shot at a considerable distance. The swelling behind the wound could have been caused by a blunt object or fallâ€" ing to the floor he said. The amount of powder was not consistent with a self inflicted wound, said he, when ask- ed by Crown Attorney Smiley. The bullet could have caused the splinter- ing of the skull and the swelling. “T. Bartlett. proprietor of the house on Goodflsh Road. where the shooting occurred, stated he had occupied tha- place for about one month. The evi- dence he gave was similar to that giv- en at the last inquest regarding the leading up to the time when Meloche entered the house. It was about be- tween 12.30 and one o'clock on the morning of July lst. The party. con- sisting of Mrs. Meloche, Miss King, Groulx, and Walsh had gone to Tim-! mins early the morning before and re- ‘ turned that night with Laroche. Sup- per was ready as arranged and some had just finished when Meloche came in the back door into the room with a revolver in his hand. The man had his cap well down on his head. The witness did not know the man‘s name but recognized him as a man he had seen before. Meloche had the gun pointed. There were six in the room The two women. Mrs. Meloche anc Miss King and Walsh made for the side door. They were out the door b\- fore he fired. He was standing behind the man but did not take any chanc- es on trying to stop him or get the gun away from him. He left by the back door to get the police. Groulx was sober. he said, Laroche had some» thing to drink but not enough to hurt. The women were perfectly sober. There were three beer bottle found. One full and two empty. He thought La- roche and Walsh had drank these. He walked to town for the police. He did not know anyone was shot. They were living when he last saw them. He did not remember Meloche sayin‘g any- ; thing or that anyone else said anything. “Emile Groulx related his story of ' the incident telling of the trip to Tim- mins and return for supper at Bart- lett's. Meloche broke in the door he said. Laroche was standing in front of him and was told to get away or he would be shot. The witness remem- bered talking that took place. Meâ€" loche's wife said, “Don't kill me, Eloi,’ and Meloche replied, “I’ll kill you jUS‘ the same.” Mrs. Meloche was just go- ing out the door whe Meloche grabbed her by the dress. He shot twice anc‘: turned and shot at the witness who claimed he had his hand up to his face 4 He did not know exactly how. The bullet struck him in the right thumb and jaw taking several teeth out. He went out the door and fell, crawled 3 little way and then dropped uncon- scious. He came too when Laroche called him. He went inside and saw the two on the floor. The revolver was _ about two inches from the man’s hand. tLaroche moved the revolver away with his foot. He only heard three shots. He told of being informed that the cap had been found and that there was a hole through it and powder on it. Two of his friends who had come from Tim- mins to see him in the hospital had been out to the house and found the cap. They went to the hospital and . told him. “Dr. Rumball was recalled and gave evidence similar to that at the first inquest in regards to the wounds re- ceived by Groulx. He thought the man's thumb must have been doubled up as if holding something. There was lead left in the thumb but none to be found in the jaw. He did not know it the same bullet had caused both wounds but surmised that they had. “Dorothy King also claimed there had 1 been words exchanged between the man and his wife before the shooting. She‘ had shouted, “Don’t do that, Eloi,” when she saw her husband with the gun. Mrs. Meloche. herself and Walsh ran for the door. Groulx opened the inside door and Walsh opened the screen door. Meloche was beside her when she was going out. She did not see Meloche grab her. She also heard three shots. Outside she found Walsh and the two went to a neighbour’s house about one mile away. The first shot she heard she thought was fired when he broke in the door. She only heard two after that. There were two bullets in Mrs. Meloche. one in him- self and the one that hit Groulx to be accounted for. She heard one sho: when she was on the verandah going out and one alrnost immediately after when she had met Walsh at the cor- ner of the house. She was not sure of the shot as he broke in the door but was sure of the other two shots. “F. Laroche also told his story. Me- loche came into the room. He did not hear much noise when Meloche broke in the door as he was talking and fool- ing around. He admitted drinking one of the bottles of beer. When he saw Meloche he said, “Here is Meloche“ and stepped forward to greet him. Me- loche pulled the gun from behind his back and said “Get away from in front of me." The witness described his .maneuvers to get into another room to be safe. He heard four shots but did not see the shooting which took place in the kitchen. There were two shots close together then a pause and two more shots not quite so close to- gether. He heard walking around and did not feel safe so he went upstairs. He did not know what the women were going to do. but was looking out for himself. He stood at the top of the stairs for about four or five minutes. He came down stairs and heard breath- ing as though someone was hurt. He found the two on the floor in the kit- chen. Mrs. Meioche was lying on her back and Meioche was lying partly on his side with his head resting on one of her legs. He shouted for Groulx and told him to come in that both of them were dead. He then saw the lights of a car and a car started away. He figured it was Meloche’s taxi. Groulx came to him and they went in. He was nervous. Meioche moved his shoulders. He then kicked the gun' away into the next room. They found a bottle of scotch in a cupboard. The witness drank nearly all of it and put it back in the cupboard. He did not ;give any either to Groulx or Meioche.‘ He was asked if all the shooting was in the one room. He could not say be- cause he did not see it. He did not see Meioche enter the kitchen as he had |gone into the other room when the man appeared at that door and told him to get out of the way. Laroche mentioned about the cap being found and wished to ask Dr. Rumball some questions. He wants to know if the powder would stay on the cap if Me- Ioche shot himself. Dr. Rumball said that judging from the angle the bullet entered and left the head that the hand would have been about ten inch- es from the head and the gun therefore would have been about three or four inches away. If such were the case he thought there would have been a lot of powder on the man’s ear, whereas there was only a little. “Larcche stated he had gone out to the house the next day with ex-chief‘ Shane and had seen the cap pinched in betwen the door with some hair on it. The cap. was gone a couple of days later when he went out after the inquest to get it. He thought the hair was Meloche's but did not know how it got there. The witness said the man had the cap on when he last saw him. When the police arrived that night he had told them where the gun was. They did not touch the body then that. he noticed. He and Groulx were brought down to the police station. Later when questioned by J. Tomlin, foreman of the jury, he said he did not try to do anything for Meloche. He did not hear the approach of Meloche‘s car or much noise when the man came through the door. He told of seeing Meloche in Timmins before coming down that night. He was asked if he had had a gun and said he did not and that he never carried one. “The witness volunteered the infor- mation that he had been told the gun was stolen from G. Laroc‘he, his bro- :her, from tne place where he stays in Timmins. He did not mention this before because he had not been asked. He heard it a few days after the affair. I: did not hear when it was supposed 0 have been missing. Meloche had domed with him the last day in Tim- nlns and the witness thought he did iot have an opportunity to steal the run that day. The witness left here for Rouyn after the last inquest. The? gun was supposed to have gone the same night Meloche left Timmins for Kirkland Lake. He repeated that he did not know this but had heard it. “E Therriault, Timmins taxi driver who brought Meloche from Timmins related his story similar to that or the last inquest. It varied in that he had heard four shots fired when he was turning his car around about a quarter of a mile up the road from the house. At the last inquest he told of hearing three shots when he was waiting for Meloche to come out of the house. He told of seeing a man and a girl running through the bushes and of hearing shouting. He did not see Meloche from the time he left the car taking a parcel in white cloth that he had brought from Timmins in with him, until {he returned with the police. He was asked if he saw the cap. He said the man had a cap on when com- ing from Timmins but when he saw him on the floor he did not have it on. He did not see it then. The man did not say anything about his wife on the way down from Timmins. “Const. Durnford also declared he did not see the man's cap when he was out investigating the case. He gave the woman’s name as Gertrude Sequin. Other evidence was the same as given before. He said he believed Dr. Harris had cut some hair away from the wound on the man’s head when giving first aid at the house. He did not ex- amine the house for bullets stating he was satisfied what had happened. “Const. Bird told of his investigation the following day. He looked for bul- lets and examined the room. There were no bullets in the kitchen. There was eight shots in other rooms, one of which was thought to have been recent. All had been gouged out by curiosity seekers. He told of previous trouble between Meloche and his wife that was given in detail at the inquest into her death on July 5th. The recent shot was near the back door through which Meloche entered and appeared as though it was fired from a window. The witness declared it was impossible for any one to approach the house without being heard relating from his own experiences on three occasions. “Walsh who was the first man out of the house when Meldhe entered was not present to give evidence. “The jury then retired and after 22 minutes gave their verdict as noted above." The next regular meeting of the town council will be held on Monday after- noon, Oct. 6th, commencing at 6 pm.
