The fatal accident occurred ithottly
After 11 o'elock Tuesday morning.
Parrish had been operatine the con-

trate's displeasure w,as aroused becaute
the Orown failed to Produee all their.
witnesses although considerable time

The charge arose out of an .aecident

she died: the.next morning in OollIng-

Patton waa represented by Joseph
G. Hood of Stayner. Crown Attorney

Provineiai Constable J. A. Rowe
etated that, With Traffic Officer H.
,Brown, he went tO the scene of the
,aceident in response to a telephone
call. "It %Vat dark when the acci-
dent happened, but it Wa9 a clear
nightand the road. was drY," said wit-
ness. "The crash o-ccurred on to steep
grade."
Measurements of Skid marks were
taken the next day, according to wit-
ness, who contended that Patton's ear
virns partly on the wrong side of the
road.
Magistrate Jeffs asked why Traffici,
officer Brown was not available to
testify. "ile'la hie alumni leave,"
replied II. C. Rowe.
"That's no reason why. he shouldn't
be here, especially when it's a case of
Manslaughter," responded the Magis-
trate. "There are two very important
things the Crown has to prove.
the first place It Is necessary te estab-
lath that the. woman died as a result
of the actident. I find nothing in
the, evidence that eatablishes the tact.
The onus is als-o on the Crown to
prove that Patton as a driver of one

DAVE REPLIES
In answer to the party who painted
en my old tin Lizzie "Vote Rowe and
Get Cheap leish"--why, don't you
know all our good' Liberal fishermen
throw all the cheap fish overboard and
the gulls swallow theta whole and
don't taste them- Surely you don't
mean whtn you said to Vote for itowe
and gei cheap fish that we could share
up with the seagulls. I think it it .
better to vote for cheap ileetises and
gas andAave inoney to buy good fish.
4Mifi\ quite a 'pleasure for me to
rub^ the cheap advertising paint off my
with the job tor some One.
