Brussels • Businessman ,
Freed on Perjury Charge
Accused Over Accounts
S. 11. Davidson, Brussels hardware
merchant, was acquitted in assize
court in Goderloh on Tuesday .of a
charge of perjury. Justice Hope
took the case from the jury. holding
that he was impressed by the man-
ner in -which accused gave his evi-
dence, and said he wes.convinced a
sworn statement made by Mr, David-
son on which the perjury charge was
entered, was innocently made, with
no intent to mislead the court:
The grand jury deliberated nearly
two hours on the Davidson perjury
incident before bringing in a true 'bill
and 12 jurymen were challenged be-
fore a jury was finnally selected. J,
G. G•illanders, ICC., London, is the
special crown prosecutor.
The case revolves around the deal-
ings of Davidson with the; Walter
Rose poultry farm, , located- outside
the town limits of Brussels, list with
Walter Rose, the founder and later
with Robert Pearson, who purchased
the business in 1929 and went into
bankruptcy in November, 1031. It
was the custom of Davidson to extend
credit to the poultry business rang-
ing from $800 to $1.200 during win-
ter months, th
e debt being paid of
during the stnnnier season.
During the progress of a civil case
in county court, Davidson is alleged
to have sworn falsely that Pearson
only owed him $25 or 530, whereas
the crown alleges the correct amount
was nearly $800. On December, last,
provineial police visited hie place of
business and seized his ledgers, a
warrant for Davidson's arrest follow-
ing.
Witnesses on Tuesday .afternoon
were Robert Johnston, county court
clerk, and Mess Olive Schonhais,
court reporter, who identified the
records, and Provincial Constable P.
E. McCoy, who told of several impor-
tant pages having been torn from
Davidson's 'ledger; the pages, he said,
having to do with Pearson's account.
An account whieh Davidsbn•had
ren-
dered
i-dered Pearson for 5700 covering a
period when accused had said the in-
debtedness was only $25 or 530 was
filed, as an exhibit.

Thursday afternoon when Harry Mil-
ler, 21 years, old, son of August Mil
ler, of Dashwood, was killed through
strangulation • by the truck belong=
ing-to Guenthers' Transport of Dash-
wood ewhich he.had been driving.
While there were. no eye -witnesses
of the mishap, it.would seern+that the
'truck was mem +slippery -piece of road
and that with the engine, still run-
ning, and the .truck in gear, he had
'attempted to put some rags in front
of dne wheel and to- feed. a chain un-
der the ;other, •
The young man wore 'heavy mitts
and it would seem as if leis arra .had
been caught' and pulled under the. re --
volving wheel. When found, i the
wheel was pressing between his head
and shoulders .and his, .face was
ground into the snow, ,while the op-
posite wheelwas still spinning. In
this condition he was found by Bruee
Walker, a nearby farmer.
The accident took place between
Zurich and Hensel!.
Dr. T. J. O'Dwyer of Zurich, cor-
oner, was called, and stated that an
fnmiest would not, be necessary.
