vett If . Freed; Is. Barred From
United States
A new trial for David Meisner,
56 -year-old Covington gambler may
free him of the 15 -year sentence im-
posed when he was convicted of kid-
napping Joh-n.8. Labatt. • But even 'if
he gains his freedom from the term
in Portsmouth penitentiary • he will
probably never again enter United
States to return to his Kentucky
home.
The new trial for Meisner has been
ordered at the spring assizes: as a re-
sult •of his being, exonerated by Mich -
eel McCardie and Russell Knowles,
both convicted as. kidnappers.
United States authorities, ' though,
may intervene if Meisner wins his
release and bar his re-entry to Uni-
ted States because the Covington man
was born in Ashfield 'Township, Hu-
ron County; He never in his• king
stay in United States became a nat-
uralized ,American citizen.,
Meisner will` be defended by the
same lawyers he had at his first trial.
They are Charles Bell, ICC., of Ham-
ilton, who expressed keen .satisfaction
on learning a new trial had . been
granted, and Howard Cluff, ' of Lon-
don.:
Meisner's last trial was held a year
ago, and lasted for more than a' week.
However, his second one, ordered by.
the minister of justice, is expected -
to be much. shorter, ;Present indica-
tions are that it will last only a; few
days.

Windsor, Ontario, Feb. 16, 1936
News -Record, Clinton, Ontario:
Dear Editor:—It was with a great
deal, of pride and'5oy that I visited
Clinton over the week -end of Febru-
ary the 8th. I was delighted with
the changes and optimistic feeling of
the people I met. To rue Clinton is
home, I lived there 'twice, once in
1905, and again in 1012. And it will
perhaps not be verylong when T hope
to make .my' home again in your
town. I found many c+iangee. A
bright future, though' you hadIits
of severe weather in your district ev-
ery one seemed to be bright and;hap-
py, I noticed you were having e new
picture show in your town, this will
prove to be an ,asset•as your young
people will naturally stay home.
The business which may have been
lost during the week by the people
visiting nearby • towns for their a-
musement,' will
-musement,'will naturally be spent at
hone. I like your, town, I like your
people, and I odul'd not refrain from
Writing, thaniting everybody for their.
hospitality during my short week -end
visit;
I wish the Editor, Manager and,
Staff continued success.
Believe.,me, I am, Yours truly,;
-ALBERT PALMER.
