Judge R.G.E. Hunter threw out a
charge against a Kitchener man for
driving with over 80 mg. of alcohol
in 100 ml. of blood in provincial
court in Wingham Wednesday.
Fred Oram Herd of Kitchener
had first appeared before Judge
Hunter at the March 28 session of
court, prepared to plead guilty to
the charge. As the facts were being
read out however. Judge Hunter
stopped the proceedings and told
Mr. Herd he might have a good
chance of avoiding conviction and
advised him to talk to a lawyer.
Later, Mr. Herd changed his plea
and trial date was set for July 25.
Wednesday the court was told by
Mr. Herd’s wife that she was
sleeping in a room at the Wingham
Motel where she, her husband and
her step son were staying, when
she awoke and saw that her car was
gone. She phoned police and she
said knew that her husband and
step-son had taken the car and she
wanted them to bring the car back
but didn’t want charges laid.
Constable James Cook said he
had received a call at 1:40 a.m.
March 13 from another police force
to investigate the missing car. He
travelled south of Wingham and
spotted a car on the east side
shoulder of Hwy. 4 near the
bridges just south of Wingham. He
pulled up behind the vehicle and
found two young men in the back
seat but no one in the front seat.
While he was standing beside the
car however, two other men ap
proached the car and the older of
the two men who identified himself
as Mr. Herd, approached the
driver’s side. Constable Cook said
he could smell alcohol on the man’s
breath and asked if he had been
drinking. “Yes I have been”, he
quoted Mr. Herd as saying.
Constable Cook asked Mr. Herd
if he had driven the car to that
point. “Yes, I did. I’m not going to
lie to you”, he quoted Mr. Herd as
saying.
Under cross examination by de
fence counsel Brian Linley, Con
stable Cook said the car was not
running at the time.
When Const. Cook stepped down

finished presenting his evidence,
Judge Hunter ruled there was no
direct evidence that Mr. Herd had
been driving the car and therefore
dismissed the case.

sentence
A Chepstow woman received a
suspended sentence Wednesday in
Provincial court in Wingham for an
attack on her sister while they were
settling their father’s estate in
Brussels.
The court was told that Anne
Marie VanLanduyt, RR 1, Chep
stow was with her sister Brenda
Mary Biesinger in the shop of their
late father in Brussels on June 10
when an argument broke out. Mrs.
VanLanduyt struck her sister in the
eye with a fist then struck several
more blows. Mrs. Biesinger fell
backwards onto a pile of scrap and
her sister jumped on top of her and
started hitting her some more.
Mrs. VanLanduyt had to be pulled
off by the victim’s husband.
Duty counsel George Brophy
explained to Judge R.G.E. Hunter
that it was an emotional time for
Mrs. VanLanduyt. She and her son
had recently sought assistance
from the Children’s Aid Society of
Bruce County because of the
distress her son was feeling over
the loss of his step-father and his
grandfather in a boating accident.
The violence seemed out of charac
ter with the character of the
accused, he said.
He explained that normally the
sisters did not see each other and
this was their first contact for some
time and they would not be seeing
each other in the future.
Judge Hunter agreed there
seemed to be special circumstance
involved and gave Mrs.
VanLanduyt a suspended sentence
and 12 months probation
