"You had a month or six weeks for all this. How much longer do you want?" he asked, Mr. Caldbick said he could not corroborate the Kremer charges in any other way. "Then the charges should not be," adâ€" vised Judge Oaron. In November, 19385, Chief Paul first approached her and asked for "protecâ€" tion" meney, the woman swore. "He told me to get room at the Goldfield hotel and told. me to go over. He ask if I have any money for him; he ask if I make pretty good, I said I might be able to give him a little bit someâ€" times but not very much." She had paid nothing that tima, but later, she said, she gave him $50. "That‘s all I could save." That was at his office on a date she could not remember. "I paid him three times. Twice I paid him $50 on each occasion," then later she had givâ€" en Paul and Sally each $50, she said. by the council. Mr. Kester‘s copy reâ€" ferring to Mrs, Kremer‘s alleged bribâ€" ing of Chief Paul read in "1936," while the one before theâ€"judge read "©1935." 14 Years for Bribery When Mr. Kester agreed to proceed under the "1935" version, the judge asked Mrs. Kremer if she knew that ‘"bribing of a police officer makes you liable to a fine and 14 years in prison." She did not answer. At this point it was discovered that there was a difference in the two cerâ€" tified copies of the resolution passed afternoon Mrs. Nellie Kremer was the first witness called. Admits Liquor‘ Convictions She had been in Timmins at interâ€" vals sinceâ€"1931 is separated from her husband, and has six children, she said. She had been convicted ‘several times" of Vealing in liquor, she admitted. When she came out of jail in 1933 or 1934 she was really hard up and went on relief. The first time she met the chief, he asked her how she was getâ€" ting on, she said, replying that it "was a very poor life." "He says ‘you could go ahead and sell again if you like to‘," Mrs. Kremer, M.

The officer did not remember the date, nor the exact words.®"It was all in the course of conversation." The. "Plan" ° _ "On one occasion Paul told me he had a plan to get a certain man in possession of gold. There had been trap set, he said." The plan was that when the place was raided, t.bare would Provincial Constable J. W./F,. Pretor- ius took the stand next. * Gasparich Says Little Mike Gasparich contributed little, saying that he had seen Chief Paul at the Kremer place ons night. He had asked for "the boss" when Mike opened the door. He had been arrested a few days before Christmas last ‘year, he said, when he bought a bottle of whisâ€" key to helno "the poor woman with six kids." He did not know eitHer Mr. Allen or Mr. Bartleman, he said. tgr to him and told him all about it, she said. In Haileybury she had reported it to Magistrate Atkinson. She wrote a letâ€" "Then he doubleâ€"+crossed you and raided the next night?" "It lcoks like." She had not seen Mr. Allen about all this urtil she had come back from jail in September, she said, and she had never seen Mr. Bartleman about it at all, but she had told Mr. Dunn when applying for relief, and Dr. Day when she was in the hospital, She said they had used the room in the Goldfields hotel for their transacâ€" tions because "there was always someâ€" body come‘" at the town hall, She said once that there was no lock on the door and later that she "didn‘t notice whether the door was locked or not." "He had the key to open the door," she swore. "I give him $50 for protection to Sell beer. Last summer some time." She had asked him once if there was any danger, she said, and he had reâ€" plisd "I‘m the boss in Timmins." ‘That was just the night before he raijded." ‘‘*Not very good," she replied. She was on relief at the time and got $6.23 to keep herself and the six children, Mr. Kester asked her about the liquor charges on which she had been convictâ€" this year. On February ist she had paid a fine of $100, although she inâ€" sisted she did not "take the charge." In May she was arrested for having liquor illegally and "took the three months." Her sons John and Albert had both been sent to jail for 30 days in August for theft., Mr. Caldbick told her not to answer the questions concerning John and Albert but the judge ruled the eviâ€" dence was admissable as showing why there might be vindictiveness on the part of Mrs. Kremer. Bootleg Business Did Not Thrive _ Speaking of 1935, Mr. Kester asked; "How was bootleggingâ€"pretty good that year?" | the ccuncil might pass another resoluâ€" tion and hold another inquiry, Rulings of judges in various other inquiries were brought up, but Judge‘Caron reâ€" fused to extend the scope of. this one. Mrs. Kremer also said that Chief Paul had given her $10 once when she had gone to him and said she was hard up. _ + Town Employee Quexstioned The evidence of Miss Lorraine Mcâ€" Millan, town hall stenographer, was the last taken on Fridey. She was in the witness box for more than half an he said it was ‘only brass‘ that he had got off Splawnyck," said Holley. The Chief had told him it was absolutely worthless but that he was going to keep it in theofflce)n case there was any fuss over it. Chief Paul had never proposed any kind of illicit business to him, Holley In December 1935, Holley had been in the Chief‘s office one morning when the Chief showed him a pint sealer full of yellow metal "What do you think of that‘ he asked me. I said I Holley Saw the Brass Exâ€"Constable Charles Holley was questioned about. the "raiding squad" of December ‘last year and January this year, There was nothing to suggest any ‘"protection" of anyone or any graft of any kind, Speaking of gold, Judge Caron asked : "He didn‘t ask you to try to get some?" "He asked me if I could get some," replied Lortie. % Could Have Helped Chief "You were in a position such as if Chief Paul wanted to get information about gold coming out of the mine. You could tell him how they would be getting it up and out without being caught?" "To that extent." Lortie had dropped in to the police station "maybe once a week" while he and Paul were friends, he said. ‘"Were you in a position as a steel man to get in contact with men who bring gold up?" "I have reasons, If he‘d have kept his place I‘d have kept mine." He had seen Mr. Allen a couple of times about the case, Lortie said. "He wanted to know if I knew of anybody ‘elsa who had anything to do with Ralph Paul." The second time Lortie had seen Allen, he had taken Boyd down with him. "Vieolently Jealous" "You‘re making an accusation against the Chief of Police of the Town of Timmins. And you are violently jealous of Chief Paul?" Bhe had seen some gold, once, in the ‘"You are even toâ€"day a little jfialous of Chief Paul?" "Do I have to answer that?" Judge Caron said he should. "All right," said Lortie, "I am." ‘"You married a young lady with whom Chief Paul used to ‘keep comâ€" Rene Lortie was called and sworn. "Did Chief Paul ever propose to you that he and you act together in the seizing of gold and divide the illicit profits?" asked Mr. Caldbick. "He did." It was in 1985, witness said, that Paul had ‘"asked me if I knew of anyâ€" one who had gold or if I could get hold pf any." He was working at the Holâ€" linger at the time, he explained. "He asked me if I knew any foreigners who had gold and if he could get hold of it he‘d more or less give me a profit on it too if he did get hold of it." There was only one occasion. He was employsd underground at the Hollinger picking up steels, Lortie told Mr. Kester, Doean‘t Know Anything _ Against Payl "And you were a decent and respectâ€" able enough officer to say you didn‘t know anything against Paul?" Thought It Just a Joke All Along "You thought it was probably more or less of a joke?" “Y”, I dld-" "Tien you made a report to your superior officer when he asked for it?" "Yes.‘ "After Bob Allen had bsen around to see you about it?" "And Allen asked you if you could tell anything against Chief Paul?" “YOSo" "After that conversation with Chief Paul, did you immediately report to Inspector Oreasy?" asked Mr. Kester. "I did not, sir." "You didn‘t think for a minute he really meant it?" the lawyer asked, reâ€" ferring to Chief Paul‘s alleged proposal to the constable. "I don‘t know." ; Labg the officer said definitely that he "did not think Ohief Paul meant Jt." "And you don‘t now?" done so. This was on September 9th this year. The confidential report to Inspeotor Creasy was produced in court but was not received in evidence. "Did you report it to your superior officer?" Asked for Report Constable Pretorius had not at that time, but later when Inspestor Creasy aAsked him to "make a report on police conditions in general and particularly in reference to Chief Paul," he had they wanted to buy gold." On the next occasion. Chief Paul would keep the appointment, take the gold, and we would dispose of it ourselves and split "Did he tell you of any other source of money he had than the Town of "I guess I could do that if I wanted "And you still think that?" “Yes" “NO.” "PDid you go through with any of the "No "I suggest to you that you were sub., jected to an examination by Mr. Alâ€" len," said Mr. Kester. "That‘s right." "For the purpose of making some kind of statement?" Allen told her he had statements from other people. The Mayor Was "Quite Anneyed" "He kept telling me all the time the way the mayor was quite annoyed. ‘Now gou are helping us out I will talk to Mr. Bartlemarn,‘ Allen told me. He said he wouldn‘t hold the first time against After she had returned from her summer holidays, ahe received another call from Mayor Bartleman, Miss Mcâ€" Millan said, asking her to go over to his office at 12 o‘clock, That was on Saturday. "Mr. Bartleman was there with Mr. Allen, Mr. Bartleman said Mr. Allen wanted to ask me some questions and he left the room,. Mr. Allen told me first of all there was an investigation going on, and that he was acting on Mr.: Bartleman‘s orâ€" ders. He said he had information I | could help him on some things," Told She Might Lose Her Job! . "Mr. Allen told me that Mr. Bartleâ€" man had been quite annoyed because I didn‘t know anything," she continâ€" ued, ‘"and if I didn‘t tell them what I knew I‘d lOse my job! I didn‘t know anything that I knew of," * _She had been kept in the office until 1.30, being asked questions by Mr. Alâ€" lén. Then Allen told her he wanted her to go to his home at 230 that afâ€" ternoon. "He said he wanted to ask me some more questions," she said. It was almost three o‘clock before she left her home and in the meantime Allen had telephoned to ask why she hadn‘t arrived. She was at his home from three o‘clock until five. "Mr. Allen asked questions and wrote things down. He didn‘t put things down the way I wanted them." "He would almost answer his own questions?" “Yw.” "I think probably you‘re right," Mr. Kester told her. That was during office hours. "What was the gist of the converâ€" sation?" ‘"‘About charges against Chief Paul." Someone had been telling the mayor that someone else had been threatenâ€" ing Miss McMillan at the town hall. "Then he asked me if I knew anyâ€" thing about Chief Paul. I said no," "What was the tone of the converâ€" sation ?" "It was just as if he was taking my part and that if anyone had been threatening me he would see about it," The Mayor Ingquires "Did you ever reecive a call from the mayor of the Town of Timmins?" askâ€" ed ‘Mr, Kester. "I did. He asked me to go over to his office." "Did you go?" “Yes." “Why?" "Isr‘t it almost like a command from the mayor of the" town?" After some questioning by Mr. Caldâ€" bick, She remembered a telephons call that had come to her from someone she did not know at the time, warning her not to attend a meeting to which she had been asked with Constable Holley and Roland Godin. It was thought, she said, that "if the three of us got together and put it all together against Chief Paul‘"‘ something might happen. She did not know whether to go or not but the telephone call, which she said she later had learned came from Chief Paul, told her it might be a trap and it "wouldn‘t look nice if she was found there.‘" Mr. Caldbick said he had a stateâ€" ment that had been supplied to him a% having been made by Miss McMillan. This was later given to the judge. some bills O.K.‘d. "He showed me gold two or three times." "Did he tell you where he had got it?" asked Mr. Caldbick. "No. He just said it was gold they had got." In 1935 she had ssen a "parcel" in the Chief‘s office that she thought was gold,. She thought it was in a bottle. Tickets on Sale from Regular Stations Only . Tickets good in Coaches Only.

The Queen‘s hotel, it will be reâ€" called, was gutted by fire some years ago, but was partially rebullt by the owner, James Palangio, who conducted the hotel for a great many years. A couple of years ago, however, the proâ€" perty was taken over by the town for taxes unpaid. Since then the town has been receiving no revenue from the property. The council has agreed to a fixed assessment of $10,000 for the property for the present. This is half the former assessment, but it will mean a revenue for the town until such time as the building is put into shape and used fully. Abitibi Lumber Co.
