WwASsS ALSO GIVEN Enlarging Picture Framing "How Green Was My Valley" In his summing up the defence counsel pointed out that the evidence of the young girl was not conclusive and that she had contragicted herself on numerous occasions. He said that although he would not say the girl was lying on the stand he would go so far as to say that she wasn‘t the innocent girl she professed to be. He pointed to several parts of the girl‘s evidence that he felt bore out his fact. In conclusion he stated that the man could be sentâ€" enced to life imprisonment on the charge of carnal knowledge and he didn‘t think the magistrate should convict his client on the uncorroboratâ€" ed evidence of the girl. evidence. He claimed that the stateâ€" ment wasn‘t made voluntarily but had only been signed by Schnobb after he had been subjected to severe questionâ€" ing by the police. The Crown Attorney argued that the statement had been signed by the accused and should be entered as evidence because it tied him up with the case. He had not been forceed to make the statement and it should be entered, he said. Finally Magistrate Atkinson ruled that the statement would be entered. The statement signed by the accusâ€" ed, contained some information regardâ€" ing the girl‘s visit to his room. He admitted that he had kissed and emâ€" braced her as well as "playing" with her but he denied that he had ever assaulted her. Again the defence counsel protested against entering the statement as eviâ€" dence. He asked why all the questions were not entered in the statement as well and why the actual words used by the accused had not been used in the statement. He ventured the opinâ€" lion that the police had the statement already prepared and needed only Schnobb‘s signature. sChnobdd‘s signature. A lengthy argument then ensued beâ€" tween the crown attorney and the deâ€" fence counsel before they settica down to their summing up of the evidence. As the crown attorney started to sum up, ne asked that the charge be reâ€" duced to one of indecent assault beâ€" cause there was hardly enough evidence to convict on the more serious charge. Magistrate Atkinson and Crown Atâ€" torney Caldbick ccnferred for some time on different aspects of the case and finally it was agreed to reduce the charge. Magistrate Atkinson then discussed several aspects of the case and finally reduced the charge to one of indecent assault and made a conviction. The crown then offered the information that the accused had been convicted of a similar charge in 1940 and had received three months at that time. Magistrate Atkinson then said that the maximum on the charge was six months and sentenced the man to that term, telling him to stay away from young girls when he came out.
