rose for the weekâ€"end and the adâ€" gdresses of counsel and suunmingâ€"up of Mr. Justice Ainslie Greene should conclude in the course of the afterâ€" noon. Dolan, after four witnesses had tesâ€" tified on his behalf and following a consultation with his lawyers, Mr. Inch and Dalton (,. Dean,. took the stand to give his version of the event which had brought him to trial before a jury of his peors on a capital charge. Led along by Mr. Inch, the accused man told first in quiet tones how he had lived in Elk Lake for twelve years and had married his late wife, at that time Mrs. Leona Malone, a widow with five children to. her first Pusband, in Ootober 1927. One other child, a boy Kenneth, had been born to their union, Dolan said. He admitted he had got along "not extra good" with his wife, adding that when she took steps early last March to obâ€" tain a separation agreement he had asked her to reconsider her intention. He did not want a separation, Dolan told Mr. Inch. He related how he had drank beer during part of the Sawturâ€" day night that preceded March 21 (a Sunday}, and how. after returning home at 5 am. he had stayed in bed until three o‘clock Sunday afternoon. Then he "had a few words" with his wife because she vould not get his din. From the moment that C. L. Snyder, special Crown prosecutor, flung at him the dramatic query whether he beâ€" lieved in ghosts to the parting shot givâ€" Ing defendant one last opportunity to say whe‘her he had met anyone who could swear the dead woman had been seen alive after the night of March 21. when she disappeared, Dolan was subâ€" jected to a terrific grilling as the reâ€" presentative of the state pressed him with terse interrogations designed to shake the story he already had told his own counsel, W. C. Inch. Accused likely will know his fate before this evening, as taking of evidence in the case had been completed before court Haileybury, Nov. 15â€"(Special . to The Advance)â€"With a crowded courtâ€" room, whose individual members hiung with bated breath on the questions and answers which followed one anâ€" other in rapiaâ€"fire succession, as specâ€" tators for the grim duel between acâ€" cuser and acecused. Frank Dolan whom the Crown charges slew his wife and hid her mutilated body in the cellar of their Elk Lake home, stood for an hour and 20 minutes in the witness box at Temiskaming Fall Assizes here late Saturday afternoon and endured as searching an ordeal of crossâ€"examinâ€" ation as has befallen any prisoner in the history of this district Gruelling Questioning in Haileybury Murder Case Frank Dolan, Charged with Murder of His Wife Subjectâ€" ed to Very Strong Crossâ€"Examination.

There is only one place to see them and that is where I got mine, at ‘"‘the Home of Westinghouse." ' Where can I see them? I know your judgment‘s sound, Harry, but tell me one thing. Do I have to pay cash*? No, you can get convenient terms on any Westinghouse model. Why, I don‘t know, Harry, the cheapest one I can get, I guess. Dolan told Crown counsel that "the last straw" before the separation order was "on account of her (his wife) runâ€" ning around with a beer traveller.," called by the Crown and who had adâ€" mitted being friendly with Mrs. Dolan, In crossâ€"examination, Mr. Snyder demanded of the accused if he believed in ghosts. Eventually Dolan said Then Mr. Snyder led the accused to say that he slept in the house only one night after his wife disappeared and that one night he had one of his sons to sleep with him. "Did you altitack your wife that night?" demanded Mr. Inch. "No," was the answer. "‘Did you kill your wife?" “No." "Did you bury your wile in that basement that night, or the next day, or at any other time?" ..No." Witness again said he had quarrelled with his wife, but never had struck her. Dealing with the evidence of his wife‘s youngest daughter, who had sworn that on one occasion her stepâ€" father, after ripping the clothes off her mother, had carried the woman naked upstairs, he said she had worn only a white slip at that time and that it had become torn in a quarrel in the course of which he had grabbed the garment and found the woman otherâ€" wise unclothed. He had been quarrelling with his wife but he had not struck her, accused swore in the hushed court. She had given him $15, which he alleged he had given her the night before after he had cashed a cheque for work done by him for McCracken‘s garage, and she had told him "to get out of town." He took the money, went to the rink, stayed there 20 minutes or half an hour, he said, later returning home to find his wife absent and the three youngest children asleep in the bedroom in which is the trap door leading to the basement in which the corpse of the the woman later was found in five feet of earth. He related at some length his other movement on Sunday night and the following days, and referred also to a trinp he made the following week as far as Val d‘Or looking for work, he said. he had taken supper with his family., the meal consisting of a boiled dinner. Later still, he washed the dishes and his wife dried them, he explained to cojunsel, Roland (her eldest son) being there, and eventually he left the house five minutes afiter two of the boys had followed the other four children to atâ€" tend a hockey match being played beâ€" tween the Elk Lake and Latchford teams.

Dolan could give no suggestion as to who killed his wife nor any idea of when the grave was dug in the cellar above which he had slept only one night after her disapparence. l Earlier in Saturday‘s evidence the Crown produced sworn testimony that Dolan had whispered to a witness in the corridor while pneirgs escorted from the court:â€""For God‘s sake Nipper, deny that letter." ‘The letter was quotâ€" ing as asking particulars about the hocâ€" key match and asking that policemen enquiring be told that Dolan was with | the witness at the hockey match. | Acciused deniedâ€"this was contradictâ€" ed ~later in rebuttal evidence by the officerâ€"that he had made a blaspheâ€" mus remark to Provincial Constable S.

Accused would not deny to Mr. Snyder that a short time before the separation he had bruised his wife, did not know she had said she was scared to live with him any longer, and did not know she had gone to Cobalt to see George Mitchell, K.C., about a separation order. who some weeks ago, following many requests from citizens of the town, announced himself as a candidate for the mayoralty.
