The trial was moved to Toronto at the urging of Polzen's lawyer, who argued that press coverage of the murder of Gwen Pfaff, Crediton, would hinder the chances of his client receiving a fair trial. About 20 area residents are in Toronto as witnesses at the trial. One of the most important Crown witnesses is Kenneth Gloor, 19, Centralia, who last month received a two year jail term when he was found guilty of being an accessory after the fact in the area girl's murder. The girl disappeared on February 9 of last year and Gloor subsequently led police to a water trough near Dashwood a month later and it was here that the body was found. Gloom said in testimony Tuesday that Polzen threatened to harm him unless he helped put Miss Pfaff's body in the trunk of the car and later in the water trough. Gloor testified that on the night of the strangling, Miss Pfaff was driving the car and Polzen told him he was "going to do away with Gwen." He said they drove along Highway 83 to the Morrison dam where Polzen left, went behind a shed, and returned to the driver's side of the car. He said Miss Pfaff moved over to the middle and he looked out of the window on the passenger's side. Later, he said, he felt Miss Pfaff kicking him on the shoulder. "I looked around and Joe was strangling her," he testified. "Her kicks kept getting weaker. I sat there frozen." "I had my back to her as she kicked me. Joe pulled Gwen over to him. He had his hands around her throat, choking her. He said if I didn't want my face rearranged I'd help him, so I helped put her in the back seat. She appeared to be dead." Gloom testified Polzen moved into the back seat and began Hydro staff out on strike Union members of the Ontario Hydro office at Exeter were on strike Tuesday as part of the rotating strike being conducted against Ontario Hydro by local 1000 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. In a rotating strike, the union pulls groups of men off the job in different locations for varying periods of time. CUPE officials have given assurances that there will be no interruption of power as a result of the strike. A statement released by Hydro, however, expressed the view that strike action "could seriously jeopardize the supply of electric power." "Without regular attendance and maintenance, which includes repair when necessary, generation and transmission of power cannot be considered reliable," said Hydro management.

He said Polzen threatened him again and said "if I knew what was good for me I'd help him." "We put Gwen into the trunk and the spare tire on the back seat," Gloor testified. He said they drove to an Exeter service station, changed the tire, and later stopped at a water trough where he helped place Miss Pfaff's body in it. He said Polzen returned later to the water trough, showed him A knife "and told me to make sure she was dead." "I didn't go," Gloom testified, "so he got out." He said when Polzen returned and turned on the inside light of the car he saw blood on the knife. Pathologist Dr. Frederick Jaffe, who examined Miss Pfaff s frozen body March 12, told the jury her hyoid bone — on top of the voice box — had been broken, "I think an attempt was made at manual strangulation," Dr. Jaffe said.
