Restaurant Assault Case .

Adjourned After 9 Testify |

Archibald Murchison of Point Prim said in court last night that Daniel Tweel of Charlottetown smashed him on the mouth and hit him on the forehead near the left eye sometime after 5 p.m. on the evening of Oct. 15, 1959.

The 76-year-old plasterer on whose information Tweel is «harged with assault by striking on the face with his fist, was the first of six- Crown witnesses to give evidence before Stipendiary Magistrate James B. Johnston in a three-hour session that was ad- journed a few minutes before 10 p-m.

DRINKS ADMITTED Under cross-examination by} Mr. Campbell, Mr. Murchison stated that he was sober though he did have a drink or two that day, one after entering the restaurant from a bottle handed to him by a friend. ‘ He added that he knew noth- ing about a gin bottle found lat- ’ in the seat he had occupied. | If his friend had rum on him} when arrested later, he knew nothing of it.

OVERHEARD-TALK

Glen James McCabe of Iona said that -rhe had heard the ac- cused say to Murchison, “Look at that mess in front of you. You had better pay that bill and get out.”

He added that Murchison then got up in his seat and the ac-

coat and told him a second time to pay the bill and get out.

The accused then shook Mur- chison two or three times, hit him, and then ison fell to the floor. The accused then or- dered Murchison to get up and get out.

Murchison asked that the cops | be called but the accused said it was better to leave them where they were and get out.

The cops arrived five or 10 minutes after this but he did not know who had called them, Mc- Cabe said. Meanwhile, Murchi- son was standing on the floor “with blood running out of him.”’

jeused asked them to take Mur-

their bill.

The accused, Daniel Tweel, had | gone round the counter and over to the booth after Murchison had spilled coffee en the floor.

HEARD THUMP

As they were behind him he saw no blows but heard a loud thump, Mr. Poole said. On turn- ing around he found Mr. Murchi-. son was on the floor. He was cut about the face and considerable blood was flowing down his face.

He heard somebody say some- thing about calling the police, but he was outside the restaurant at the time they arrived.

Called next .by Crown Prose- cutor Foster, Barry Poole cor- roborated the evidence given by his father.

Final Crown witnesses were Sara Jane Hall of Charlottetown and Marlene Peters of Winsloe. THROUGH WINDOW

For Politica

The Conservatives are now using the causeway project for a political football, charged Opposi- tion Leader Alex W. Matheson yesterday as he was asked to comment on Works Minister David Walker's statement that the oft-promised causeway sur- vey report was not available and is not in sight.

The Island's people have been fooled again, Mr. Matheson charged. The Conservatives here used the.causeway promise to get elected in September and now that they are in power the fed- eral government evidently be- lieves it will be a good election Promise for the next contest.

Acting Premier. the Hon. R. R. Bell said last night that he was ‘very interested but that he could make no comment until he talked j to the Premier. :

Mr., Matheson, who along with former Works Minister Winters and former MP for Queens, Neil Matheson, was one of the original sponsors of a Causeway, express- ed grave concern that the matter has now become “‘a purely po- litical football” which the PC’s hope to use in winning another election.

ENGINEERS OPTIMISTIC

He based his opiffion on the fact that only last summer while he was premier of the province, engineers engaged in the survey work reported to him verbally that there were no obstacles that could not be overcome in the construction of the causeway.

Mr. Matheson said the engin- eers made reference to tidal movements but pointed out that openings in the causeway could be constructed more cheaply than fill could be placed.
