Mr. Louis Moreau, a man of close to 70 years of age. "He was covered with blood from three bad cuts in the head when I attended him," the doctor said, "and he was suffering from conâ€" cussion. He had apparently been hit more than once on the head by some heavy blunt instrument, the tissues being badly crushed." In answer to Greg Evans, council for Miller, Dr. Clermont said that Mr. Moreau‘s memâ€" ory had not been affected and he was now well on the way to recovery from the injuries sustained. Mr. Moreau had Sixfleréd seriously from headaches, th doctor said. Mr. Moreau‘s evidence was to the effect that on the evening of Nov. 13th two young men had visited his place in Mountjoy township and asked ror a couple bottles of beer. He had given them the beer and they started to leave, but then asked him to telephone for a taxi for them. When he turned his back to go to the phone he was struck from behind and knocked unâ€" conscious.

He had not identifi>d McCourt in either of the two lineâ€"ups at the police station, he told S. C. Platus, counsel for McCourt. Mr. Moreau was asked to see if he could find the other man in the courtroom, but after walking haltingly down the aisle he said he could not sec well enough now to recognize anyone.

He also denied talking to the two women in the way they suggested. He claimed that only one of them was at the bus stand and that he had said nothing about attacking Moreau and had made mo boasts of fooling the police.

He held that Miller‘s statement was not to be accepted, as Miller was evidently trying to fasten the crime on another to save himself.

There ‘seemed to ke an attempt to shift the blame from Miller to McCourt.

The fact that Mr. Moreau had twice failed to identify him in the police lineâ€"ups was also in McCourt‘s favour. Miller‘s own statement, the Magistrate said, admitted that he had noticed two attempts to slug the old man and vet had made no effort to warn Mr. Moreau or to prevent the attacks.

Crawn Atiorney Caldbick thought that conviction should be registered against both men. The assault on Mr. Moreau had been a very vicious one tha‘t might have had fatal results. The evidence against both men appeared strong enough to warrant their convicâ€" tion on the charge. In announcing his judgment in the case, Magistrate Atkinson gave a brief summary of the evidence. He did not feel that he could convict McCourt on Miller, who had appeared cool and unconcerned through the trial, though serious in his attitude, took the heavy sentence without appearing overcome. But when McCourt had been told he was free to go and started to leave the court room, Miller jumped up and shouted out, "You‘re letting the guiity man walk out free!" iPolice officers hurried round him at this outburst, but he accompanied them quietly to un« cells;; below. prisone that 0o may b lookou three ; years old respectively.
