.„.".Iglebruary 28, 1911. The
King:mill looked after the interests
of the
R
of London, the family of Russel
Oakes, the deceased firetnau.
The principal witnesses were Road-
niae.ter Hickey, Superintendent
Shearer, Conductor Marr, Section-
Fereman Lamb, the baggageman and
brakeman of the crew of the ill-fated
train. All the witnesses were Rosi,•
., tive .in the deelara.tioit that *tlie rail
bad been deliberately removed, and
that the wreck could not possibly
have been caused by spreadinn rails.
All were unanimous that the spikes
bad been pulled and the nuts taken
off with a wrench without injuring
the threads on the bolte. The section -
man testified to his tool house having
been broken into, and identified the
tools found at the scene of the wreck
as the stolen property. The evidence
was all unanimous on the point that
the removal of the ri,1 was the result
of design and not of accident.
The inquest was adjourned until
Tuesday, June 20, at 10 a.m.
Asked to give out a statement, the
Crown counsel authorized the follow-
ing;—"There are people whose actions
have not been satisfactorily explained,
and who the offi care of the Crown
are of the opinion might possibly be
implicated in this matter; but until
such time or the evidence can be
shaped up 4o as to justify naming
them and producing the evidence
now against them, we think it proper
not to give the evidence, whioh might
possibly injure innocent people. Sub-
sequent investigations may develop
something eubstant.ial."

LEVEE RUINED,
Montreal, June 12.—J udge Lcet, who i
considers that his (minion) with regard
to the Hebert marriage case and the "ne
tenlere" decree hits been quoted in such
a way as to create a misunderstanding
has issued a letter to the prey 10 expla-
nation of his position. He upholds the
ruling of the courts a,s regards the legal
invalidity of the marriage of two Cath-
olics by a Protestant minister, but con-
tends that this ruling has no applica-
tion to mixed marriages. The courts, he
says, cannot endorse the "ne temere'
contention with regard to the marriage
of a Catholic to a Protestant.
After discussing the legal history he
concludes:
"Until the 'ne temere' decree there
was never any question in this country
as to the validity of the marriage of,it
Catholic with a Protestant by a Protest-
ant minister, and 1 do not think there is
any danger of the court's upholcliug the
pretension of the decree. The decree will
only cause heartburnings and social dtf•
ficrr.lties that the law ran hardly aea1
with. It is only a dogma of the. C htu•eh
which the law does not recognize and
is not likely to recognize."
