"The most important point in this whole hearing, "continued ?Mr. Proudfoot who represents the mun- icipalities along the shore of Lake Huron,"is to secure tliosepapeis, I got in touch with DIT'.

Mil.

"He did," As'to the concern known as the Huron Construction Company wit- ness said he had a,ever had any- thing to do with 'them. His under- standing of this organization was very vague.

The pay rolls, had been sent to Toronto, and they are among the missing 'docum.ents. The list of ac- counts' contracted by the railway each month was' checked over by the witness, and he .under power of attorney given him by Mr. Moyes 1 also signed the checks. I"Did the accounts sent up by you correspond With the aount paid out. by the Trust Company?" inquired Itir•. Paiouclfoet. "I have not (checked that up yet? The money disbursed through him totalled $195,000, of which $170,000 had been paid the Huron Construc- tion Company the balance being paid into the -J, W. Moyes account. Rails' Cast $75,000. -- The $170.0 0 witness stated under the quetioning ,of Mr. Malcolm, did not include the cost of ,steel, switch- ing material or various. other items. There would be, Mr. MacEwan, fan- cied, $,75,000,or1$80,000 paid out for rails, exclusive of the above sum, but he did • not care to hazard a guess as tot the total of these outside ac- counts, though he knew all were very thoroughly ,scrutinized by Mr. Moyes, before payment. The posi- tion of Mr. Robexes, witness' stated, was that ,of engineer of the Ontario West Shore Railway. , "Was he also in the employ of the Construction Company?" in- quired' Mr. Malcolm. "Well he directed the engineering work.'' "In 'whose einploy would you 'say he was?" "Primarily' in the employ of the railway, though 'his' salary was paid. for the most part by the Huron Con struction Company. I remember telling Mr. Moyes that iseparate funds Ishonld be provided for the pa'y went of Mr. Robert's 'salary. Mr, Moyes isaid pos'eiely that was the course, but he could 'see no reason why the engineer should not act for both companies."Work Ceased Sept`: 7, 1911. The work ceased on the'road abet Sept 7,1911. Witness' hall been so notified by letter from Mr. Moyes, and that was one paper which he declared could be produced.
