The hearing of the case of in King vs. Joseph Matthews was bee- guu in the Supreme Court yesterdav morning. His Lordship Mr. Justice riassard presiding. The charge in the indictment was that on or about the 16th day of October Joseph Mnttlwws made an assault on Edith "rcoizibs causing grievous bodily harm. ,

The Orown was represented by the Attorney General and Mr. Campbell and the accused by Mr Donald Mac- Kinnon, K. C. .

After gthe case for the Crown had been opened "by Mr. Campbell, who gave a resume of the points which the Crown intended tn establish by evidence. Mr. Reardcn was called on to give evidence in respect of the plan he had prepared and which was exhibited. The witness being sworn, said in part. "My occu- pation is civil engineer. I am em- pioyed at ‘the department of public works. I made the plan. and the mcasu ell-eats are correct. measured them myself. witness described the plan.)

Q. (by Mr. MacKinnon). There is a wire fence. Is it shown in the plan? A. No.

Albert Toombs wgs then called in evidence by the Crown after be- ing sworn he stated.

We left the store at 10.15 p. in. The three of us walked to the corn- "or of Queen and Kent. My daught- cr went to the grocery store on the corner, and. as she stayed rather long there, I went to see what WRS keeping her. We were in the store a few minutes. We then came back to the corner and found my wife had gone. We walked as fast as we could. When part way down the block we saw her crossing b..- tween Gili's corner and Rochford Square. (Mr. Toombs here explain- cd by reference to the plan). We lost sight of her as she left Roch- lord Square.

We had turned the corner at the church and were thirty or forty fcct along Rochford Street when we heard a screech. It came from a dark corner between the church and the chapel. I shouted :'.Ohl you dirty bruteTll get you" and ran up opposite the place where the screech came from. A man jump- ed cut and started to run. I chased him. I followed him up Fitzroy Street a piece. then. thinking my daughter might be in danger I ivciit back. The man stopped for u sec- ond or so at the first‘ post this sidc of the electric light post. There lic cut angle wire across the street. Thc last I saw of him he was in front of Websters. When he stopped run- ning. he was eight or ten feet from me.

I got a fairly good view of his back. He was about five feet five or five feet six inches tall. fairly thickly built, with broad shoulders. I noticed he had a peculiar walk- He was dressed in a light peaked cap and light coat. It was a ioni; sack coat or a short overcoat. couldn't swear which. r

I came back and got my wife through the angle of the fence. She was inside the fence. I couldn't sec how she got there, unless she had been dragged there. I-ler face was very much bruised and swollen. and she was covered with blood. .M.v daughter had her arm about her trying to get her through the fence- In this I assisted. Then one 011 either side, we took her home. when we had gone o. piece, I left Elcsnoi‘ to get. her home. and went to tho police station. whero I notified Sgt-

Have a descri ' ‘ went’ back hogttlon of this man, and‘ _ I returned to the police station iii the afternoon" said Mr. TO0lIIbS,~

and there I saw the prisoner. t was sure he was the same man as I saw in the morning. The prison- ei looked so much like the man I .aw on Saturday night, that I felt sure it was him.

Cross examined by Mr. Mc- Klnncn. i

Fence is six or seven feet from the sidewalk. It stops at a tree on the forty foot street. '

(Here Counsel questioned witness as to the position of the street lights and witness pointed them out on the plan.)

The man came over the lop of the wire fence. He didn't come through it. The fence is three feet high.‘ He can down to Fitzroy Street, didnt run so very fast. Icould probably have caught him. had I thought matter so serious.

The night was dark and clear, but there was no moon light. The only light was the street light. but that would be better than moonlight.

Mi". MacKinnon exhibited tlic prisoner's coat. asking if that could be called n long coat. i

The coat would be long on him. He was a short man.

Q. So. far as that coat is con- cerned, it is really no identification? A. Still. it is like the coat thc man had on.

Q. Would you call that a long coat? iherc Counsel compared the length of the coat with that which witness; was wearing.) If you had that coat on wouldn't you yourself bc taken for thc man‘?

A. Couldn't swear that tiic man I saw Saturday" night hzid that coat and cap on.

Questioned about thc man hc met coining along street on Sunday morning. witness said:

"I, was on my way home when I saw the man on Sunday moi"niiig. A man going along the west side of Spring Street wouldn't hove to vary fivc feet‘ to go along Rochford Street. It might possibly be the way he would naturally‘ take to go along that street.

Q. Was lic n imrd locking man‘?

A. You just bet your ilfc he \'i'i15;. He had a block cyc.

I wouldn't swear he was the sumo man ins the assailantJ

Q. And that's what lcml to ‘he information being laici~sccingg this man that morning?

A. Ycs. t

At ihc police court I gave the discription of thc man, and said he looked like the man I had followed the night before. All I could dis- tinguish about him that night was that he, had on a light coat and cap.

Re-examiiied .by Mr. Saunders about; his walk witness said: "There was o little hitch in his ivalk."

Rc-cross examined by Mr. Mac- Kinnon.

Q. What/was peculiar about his walk?

A. "I couldn't explain it. there was a little hitch. He walked a little out of the ordinary."

Q. Would you swear that the walk of the man that night was llie same kind of walk as the prisoner?

A. I think that I would (Counsel then inquired of witness. if he could tell much about the man's walk bc- fore he started to runJ

Q. The only other time you saw him walking would be when he was half a block away.

A. Well. not quite that far.

The witness then described how the next morning he had 8°11" 55°F to look for part of Mrs. Toomhs; plow, which had been broken byi the assailant.
