been averted.
Moore, in the opinion of the jury,
was not acting in a careless manner,
although the evidence disclosed the
fact that he was driving at a greater
speed than he was aware* of. The
jury also recommends that signs bo
paced at Egmondville warning mo
torists not to travel at more than
20 miles an hour.
Moore is charged with criminal
negligence as the result of the tragic
accident and is out on bail of $10,-
000. He is to appear before Magis
trate Reid in Goderich on Monday
next, when and adjournment will
probably be made. Crown Attornej
Dudley Holmes, of Goderich, repre
sented the Crown and J. J. Huggard
of Seaforth, acted on behalf , oi
Moore.
The first and chief witness was
Andrew Moore, Tuckersmith, driver
of the light truck, which struck the
deceased women. He estimated he
was driving at 25 miles an hour,
and did not see the women until he
was almost upon them, He was ac
companied by his helper, Gordon
McPherson. The latter had called
his attention to a black object which
seemed to loom up in front of them.
He immediately applied his brakes.
Street Light Off
It was a clear night witness said,
and he was driving down the centre
of t<he road going south through Eg
mondville. Mrs. McGeoch was
breathing when Moore reached her,
but he ran to the home of William
Ferguson and called medical, aid.
Evidence was brought out which
showed that the street light on the
corner where the accident happened
was not on at the time of the crash.
McPherson, who took the stand
next, gave much the same evidence
as Moore. Dr. H. H. Ross and Dr.
W. C. Spyoat, who performed > the
post mortems, then presented their
findings. The death of Mrs. Mc
Geoch had been caused by the
crushing of the spinal cord, causing
a hemorrhage of the chest. The
death of Mrs. Charlesworth was
caused by a compound fracture of
the skull.
Juors asked both doctors if they
believed the victims would have
been seen if the street light had
been on. Both were of the opinion
that it was very difficult to see an
object on .a tarvia road, and they
‘believe that the street light would
have revealed the two pedestrians.
Brakes Tested
High County Constable White
sides of Goderich swore that there
were skid marks of 82 feet and it
was 19 feet from where the truck
rested to where the bodies had been
•found. Witness had found a pair
of eye glasses and some side combs
32 feet from where the bodies were
picked up. Examining the car ho
found the left headlight bent, the
left end of the front bumper brok
en and two distinct dents in the
hood. In a test made at 25 miles
an hour the car stopped 'in 24 feet.
Replying to a question from one
of the jurors, in the opinion of the
officer, it was better to drive with
out street lights unless they were
strong and in villages the street
lights were not usuall bright.
William Wright, Seaforth garage
man swore that the brakes were in
perfect working order. He had
tests following the accident which
showed that at 25 miles an hour
the truck stopped within a distance
of 21 feet. At 35 miles an hour it
had stopped within 50 feet. At 40
miles an hour it had come to a stop
withn 66 feet and at 50 miles in
86 feet.

Goderich examined the witnesses
and Coroner Dr. Burrows presided.

Some time ago a trapper away out

eluded the authorities killing one of the officers sent to arrest
him. However, the Mounties got him, the fugitive falling riddled
with bullets’. ,
Some are inclined to criticise the authorities for spending so
much life and treasure in the taking of this mad outlaw. The re
ply is that it is the British way to enforce law, at any cost. Of
fences such as this trapper perpetrated cannot, in this country, go
unregarded. At any cost, Canadian law overtakes its enemies.
That way lies freedom and safety.

“I want you to understand that we are not just facing a few
months of ‘grin and bear it,’ but that we must get into training for
a long period of work—-hard work and effort, sustained despite
possible discouragements. You must be prepared, as others have
been before, to enlist ‘for the duration’ without asking how much
may in the long run be required of you.”
These are stirring words of the Prince of Wales to the youth
of England. They are words from a speech that already is famous
and which gives promise of being one of the notable utterances of
these stirring times.
They are words very sorely needed. For we have altogether
too much of the nerve cutting process of waiting for something to
turn up. We have prattled altogether too long about times mend
ing themselves while young and old aike have gone on
self-indulgent way.
Youth must wake- up to the stern call of duty. Too
as if labour were some sort of recreation. The eager,
die expression is seen on too few countenances,
should labor. We smirk when we should sweat,
we should do as if we did not know we should take to our task.
We defer when we should defeat. We mock when we should make.
We whimper about our alleged disasters when we should be- whip
