Not. Guilty By _Reason
of Insanity.
SMALL BABY DROWNED
Lions and Legion Hold
Annual ,Remembrance Day
Meeting Together Monday
Late Wednesday afternoon the jury
trying Mrs. Ruby Magee on a murder
charge brougthit in a verdict of not
guilty by reason of insanity at the
time that she drowned her • 10 -month-
old baby.
Both the prosecuting attorney, C.
P. Hepe, K.C., and defence counsel,
Campbell Grant', waived their address-
es to the jury and, Justice MeTague
told.the jurors no other verdict, but
one of not guilty by reason of insan-
ity could, be returned. He asked them
to so indorse the indictment, which
they did without leaving • the court -
Xoom.
Imimediately after the verdict was
announced, Mrs. Magee was, returned
to the county jail, there 'to • await the
pleasure of 'the Lie uibenantigovernar
in council. It was intimated that rho
would shortly be placed in a mental
institution 'for treatment.
Dr. D. R. Fletcher, Ontario Hospi-
tal, Whitby, said that prisoner knew
the quality of her act, when she
drowned her baby, to a certain ex-
tent, but. at the time, in his opinion,
she was insane.
Dr. D. O. Lynch, Ontario Hospital,
Woodstock, testified that in his opin-
ion, the woman did not ,know what
she was doing. She was mentally ill,
he said.
Wednesday morning's evidence of
Fnoviecial Officer P. E. McCoy, who
investigated the case, revealed that
the drowning of the 10 -month-old
baby, Mildred Ruth, was premeditat-
ed for some day's by the accused
mother. She ,left a bottle containing
;notes on the platform: beside the wa-
ter tank in which the baby was

New Excuse
Many times has. Elmer D. Bell
Seaforth lawyer, stood in court
and explained away aQn behalf of
clients, smashed fenders and brok-
en headlights. He waited, how-
ever,
owever, until his own car received a
smashed radiator, broken head-
lights and a crushed fender before
offering the best excuse of his
career. "A deer ran into me,"
he stated, as he viewed the dam-

case that is what happened. Mr.

Remembrance Dap
Inevitably, in the inexorable march of time, Remembrance Day is
upon us --a day of reconseecration. Novemher llth is a day of na-
tional sorrow. The spirit which in the first few years after the war
celebrated this annviversary with. wild -hilarity, is happily gone. It
Vas been replaced with a spirit of reverence, one which insists upon
due homage being paid to our dead. Throughout Canada Remem-
/Inanee Day will be the 'occasion for brief but earnest
oeremonnes with the depositing of wreaths on Ceno-
taphs and Warr Memorials. The service is dedicated
in memory of the men who gave their lives for Can-
ada, as a murk of profound respect for those dearest
to them, and as a reminder to all sof the sacrifices
cam`'• me masie by those young Canadians on their behalf, not
enter during the Great War, but in the restless, years
of the Pewee.
••
In Seaforth the service wilt be under the aus-
pices of the Canadian Legion and will be conducted as usual at the
Soldiers' M,emioriat im Victoria Park on the morning of Friday, 11th
November. Tihe parade, preceded by "D" Company, Middlesex and
Huron Regiment, the Boy Scouts, the Seaforth Highlanders Band, and
ineluding the ?I'own Council, wreath bearers and the Veterans, will

vie'& will be carried out, including the solemn two minutes' silence at

Frank Devereaux.
An able sermon, especially siui.ted bo
'the event, was preached by Rev. F.
G. Fitzpatrick, a widely -travelled .vet-
eran. In introducing Iiia subject Rey;
Farther Fi!zpatrick noted the differ-
ence between this church parade and
those they were accustomed to in
France, with the rain pouring down,
the barking of guns and hymns of
hate instead of hymns of love ,and
praise. Pray, he .said, that -neither
you or your children may ever . be
called upon to fats the same experi-
ences, prey and work fol• peace and
good will, the peace,of freedom, and,
justice founded on the principles, of
Gott who established this universe.
The hallowed dead demand more than
monuments and manifestations of un-
dying affection. They fought against
despotism and injustice in order that
their families might have peace and
comfort. Their message to us is to
carry On in peace as they carried on
in war. Are we :going to see the
things they .fought for go to naught?
Twenty years ago on Armistice pay
when the trumpet lifted its voice ov-
er Flanders Field, its malsic . was
heard throughout the world and amid
the rejoicing we pictured a picture
unblemished, foresaw loftier princi-
ples and a great and abiding neighbor-
liness among all peoples.

Presented With
Bible at Session
The years have disappointed' these
hopes. 'Instead of harnessing and
holding the evil forces la restraint,
the war seemed to unleash them
throughout the world. The ideals we
fashioned for the future have failed
almost to illusions. Is that heroic
faith to be banished utterly?
Through the last few years Father
Kit.zpatrick, who has travelled in
some of tare cotratries under despotic
rule said: "You cannot realize what
freedom wo enjoy under the'British
flag,” They cannot turn on a radio,
the hours of the day are not theirs,
they are told when to go to bed and
when to get up and then after slav-
ing .10 acquire their . property, it is
not theirs, it belongs to the state.
From every true Canadian and Brit-
ish Heart the prayer goes up that God
mny shower down blessings -upon our
gracious -King and Queen a n d
strengthen, guard and guide them and
give our statesmen wisdom that they
may be able to guide the ship of
state through the rocks to the peace
and security that we enjoy under the
13ritish flag which we hope will con-
tinue.
'Phe service, which was very large-
ly attended, closed with the Benedic-
tion of the Blessed Sacrament, an an-
th+'m, "Holy God We Praise Thy
Name," and "God Save the King."
