MANNING BELGRAVE JOHN McLEOD BLUEVALE EARL LEFFLER GETS 5 YEARS Unusual Criminal Case Now Closed Central figure in one of the most unusual criminal cases in Canadian history, Earl Leffler, 19-year-old Car­ rick Township youth", was sentenced to five years in Kingston Penitentiary late Friday by Mr. Justice J. C. Mak­ ins, at Walkerton, on a charge of “creating a public mischief,” arising out of the axe-slaying of his grand­ father. The actual sentencing of the lad, acquitted on a charge of murder in connection with the slaying two years ago, who then implicated his grand­ mother and still later confessed, took but three minutes. His 67-year-old granfather, Philip Stroh, was slain on Easter Sunday, 1934. Leffler was arrested, tried and acquitted. Last June he made a state­ ment as a result of which his grand­ mother, Mrs. Mary Stroh, was of lumber upset, an ash post at the C.P.R. cross- few missing chairs and about the extent of the doings. Chief Allen and his special I staff had little to worry them. I D.D.G.M. Made Official Visit Rt. Wor. Bro.

Following the work in the lodge room where the second de­ gree was exemplified a banquet was served with Wor. Bro. A. W. Irwin, the Rt. the Rt. Wor. Bro. Capt. Adams the toast to the visitors. Replying to this toast were Rt. Wor. Bro. R. Bowman, of Brussels; Rt. Wor. Bro. Jefferson of Clinton; Rt. Wor. Bro. Fowler, of Teeswater; Wor Bro. Rev, Me Ritchie of Bervie, District Chaplain; Rt.

Last week a grand jury returned a “no” bill in her case, but just before it did so a second statement by Leff­ ler revealed she was not 'connected with the slaying. The lad. said he kill­ ed his grandfather accidentally. Under Canadian criminal law, a man once acquitted of murder cannot be tried again on that charge unless a Crown appeal on points of law is successful. Such appeals must be tak­ en within 30 days, however, and it was two years since Leffler was ac­ quitted. The “public mischief” charge was laid under English common law.
