F ROM ONTARIO'S CAPITAL
Toronto, March, 2nd, 1915.
Two interesting cases were dispos-
ed of in the PriminaltAssizes here be-
fore Mi. Justice Mulock during the
ipast ween. Perhaps the most sen-
sational; was that of Carrie Daviesethe
eighteen -year-old girl wtho shot her
employer, Charles A. Massey, •on the
8th of February. She was being tried
for murder. The plea set up by the de-
fense w . that the shooting was done
in
or
self efenod and while the girl was
in a c dition of mind from fear to
render 4er not responsible for. her ac-
e girl had. come out from En.g-
years ago,,,ahd had been em -
the Massey home ever since.
When the tragedy oecured Mrs, Massey
had been from home and in her ab-
senco ,ItIseerns the deceased had at-
tempted to take andue liberties with
•the igirl, ;which she resisted, and which
ins*ed tri her mind (such a -fear as to
render her irresponsible for her ac-
tions. On the • fatal night when the
sbooting iwas done as soon as the girl
saw her employer coming home, she
secared a revolver, which was in the
hose and as Mr. Massey attempted to
enter his [ residence she met bim at .the
ddor and fired two ahots at him, one
of whichreedited in almost instant
death. The jury at the trial seemed to
take the View of the defence and 8:tter
a brief consideration broaght In a rver-
diet of Not Gailty. The court room
was packed •vvith epectators at the time
and when the verdict was announced
a very unusual scene occured, The
whole audience rose and cheered and
the demonetration could not be check-
ed. by the police for several minutes,
This showed very clearly that the ver-
dict was in accord with public senti-
ment. The Chief Justice in discharging
the girl said: Perhate,s the jury have
• taken' a, view of the ease that was not
in strict canforrnity with the ralee.
They found that When you killed alet.
Massey you lost self-control of your-
self and at that moment' had no murd-
erous intent. You have lead a strict

qualities caused you to take a strong

A. war highway, extending amass On-

ing of the Association of Ontario Land
Surveyors. Tile /suggestion is that a
model road be constructed from. Wind -

of $8,00D per mile. 'Numerous' motor
leagues ' and ressodations whidh have
considered the question have approved
a it. The highway, if built; will be
known as a w,ar road, and will take
the place of sach monuments as might.
otherwise be erected at various .pointe
as memorials of the great straggle now
waging in Europe, The cost Would. be
defrayed by private subscription and
by municipal contributions. It has been
suggested that the various. towns and
cities through which or through whose
districts the road .would pass should
pay for the construction within those
districts, leaving the cost cif those sec-
tions of the highway in less thickly
settled districts to be paid for by pri-
vate subscription.
