L. Snyder, who, with D. G..Dean of Temiskaming, presented the arguâ€" ment for the iCrown. Mr. Snyder agreed that the trial judge‘s charge was inadequate, and that he had not dealt properly with the questions of murder and manslaughter in the case. ‘Mtr. Martin said the defence contenâ€" tion was that the woman‘s death was accidental. Papas:amatiou at the trial claimed he intended taking the chloral hydrate to induce sleen, and that Mrs. Trottier had taken the wrong glass. This defence evidence was not properâ€" ly placed before the jury, Mr. Martin contended. Papastamatiou had been gonvicted of murder at Haileybury in the death of Mrs. Emilia Trottier. The woman died as the result of drinking chlorat hydrate, which the Crown alleged had been given by the accused. By unanimous decision of the Court of Appeal, Papastamatiou was granted a new trial on the ground that Mr. Justice Plaxton‘s charge to the jury was inadequate. The facts of the deâ€" fanse were not placed properly before the jury, maintained G. A. Martin, who acted for Papastamatiou.

At this noint Crown counsel made the suggestion that a manâ€" slaughter verdict should be substituted.
