We know that printed words, by themselves, accident, so the most we can do here is to give a few specific and practical suggestions for safety. By being careful you can help to prevent accidents. Chil­ dren especially, need to be “briefed” on safety measures. As soon as the school terms is ended, the children feel “Scott- iTee” and become careless. On the other hand, we adults can be more thoughtful. The starting point in Home Safety is to lo­ cate the “danger spots.” The next step in accident prevention is to find out the causes. Ask all the members of the family to eliminate danger spots and it will make them safety minded. For instance, if gasoline is stor­ ed in an unpainted can, have it painted red and labelled. If the cellar stairs need repair, have them fixed before anything happen. ALERT TODAY— ALIVE TOMORROW Precautions: 1. Do not touch a light fixture or cord while standing in a wet place. 2.

Donnelly Killings —Continued From Page Three He feared that the fact that he had organized the Vigilance Committee made him just as liable to prosecution as any of the actual murderers. Father Connolly was never arrested for murder or anything else, but on the strength of what William Donnelly, his wife and Johnny O’Connor said they saw and heard, twelve men were arrested and charged with the multiple murders. Only one was formally charged before Mr. Justice Donnelly. The other eleven had been in custody since early February and it was tacitly agreed by all concerned that the Carroll trial would be a test case. Johnny O’Connor testified that he both saw and heard Carroll place Thomas Donnelly and the father James under arrest. Wil­ liam Donnelly and his wife both identified Carroll as one of the visitors who supervised the sud­ den death of John. Carroll produced what seemed to be an ironclad alibi. He wasn’t there, he said, and pro­ duced a vast number of wit­ nesses who testified that he spent the night at the home of one of his co-accused. The other co-accused were present and, one by one, they stepped firmly into the witness box to testify that it couldn’t have been Carroll that Johnny and the Donnellys saw. Of course, an alibi for Carroll was an alibi for every co­ accused, but there it was—these men were giving their evidence on oath. While William Donnelly and liis wife would probably think of perjury to hang their arch­ enemy, the county constable, it seemed that Johnny O’Connor (who was eleven then) was tell­ ing the truth as well as he knew how and his story was not shak­ en by clever crossexamination. But the jury didn’t seem to be much impressed for they brought in a finding that seven of them were for acquittal, four for con­ viction, one undecided. The judge discharged the jury and released all the prisoners on bail. The second trial began on January 24, 1881. Mr. Justice Cameron and Mr. Justice Osler had been appointed as a “special commission” to sit with a jury on the second trial, a iproeedure unknown today. Again, there was the single trial of Carroll on the charge of murdering Jud­ ith Donnelly, with the other eleven prisoners awaiting their turns. This time a verdict of roll and all free. In Lucan . _______ the acquittal, February 3, 1SS1, one day short of the first anni­ versary of the “blackest crime ever committed in the Domi­ nion,” revelry ran high at Fitz- henry’s Hotel. James Carroll and his vigilantes, were the toast of the town. A number of the jury­ men were present and, in their way, they were heroes too. Then in walked William Don­ nelly. The noisy bar was shocked into silence. Son William was drunk. He glared around the celebrating drinkers. “I’d like to buy every one of —- murderers a drink,” "Set ’em up, the not his on jury brought In guilty and Car- co-accnsed went the evening of W feE.:fc'i.y- INFORM AlWB' MONTREAL — Weddings — showers — birthdays . . . all red letter days are “right”' days for cake decorated to suit the occasion..
