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. , ’Crown Attorney Dudley Holmes Ox Goderich examined the witnesses and Coroner Dr. Burrows presided. al Mrs. Isaac Shanks, Snow Hoad, Ont., writes:-*' “I am tho mother of five children and have a lot of work to do, My heart would get very weak, and J Was very nervous and tired out at night.

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. MMhMM ❖ FOR ALL OF VS “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 ping our difficulties. ‘ * ** ***** many work conquer-or- W.e loll when w& We talk of what TWO TRYING YEARS (The London Times) It was said of 1930 that is was the leanest year the banks had known since the war; 1931 was not only leaner but unprecedentiy troublous.
