The Crown vs. Douceltetcoiitiiiued),

Earl Reid, bookkeeper in the Journal Oilice, was next witness, and in his evidence stated that he saw the pris- oner going out ot' thc Journal Office with something under his coat, which he supposed was some ol’ the stolen liquor. He also stated that he was in the office at the time of thc quarrel between the Doucette boys, when they were arrested by Police Oiiicer Oakes.

Augustus Wedge swore that on the

day referred to he su\v the prisoner coming down stairs in the Journal Oilice with two or three bottles ot' liquor in his pocket. which he took to the Perry building. Witness also stated that he helped carry the liquor from the coal bin, wliere it had been hid, to the Perry building.

Mr J. J. Johnston, in opening the

case for the defence, stated that there had been no evidence. produced by the Crown to show that the prisoner had any knowledge that the liquoi' was stolen or that he was in any way con- nected with same. lie reviewed the evidence given by ouch ot` the wit- nesses and claimed that. the prisoner had no knowledge wlicrc the goods came from. The Attorney Geiicrnl tlicn utldressetl thc jury and stated that evidence showed that the goods were stolen and talien to the Journal oilice and that the prisoner was in the l'erry house with his brother George and that they had thirteen bottles ot' the whisky with tlicni. 'l`he Attorney General also said that prisoner had .stated to Arthur lirciiiiiin that lie and his brother George and ii third party lintl pur- clinsotl the whisky, l‘ontiiiuiiii;', thc Attorney Gciicrnl said: “ Now wi: rome to the point, did thc prisoiicr liiiow that the liquor wut: stolen. iii thc oviiiciico oi' thc witiies:-i, \'l"t-tlgc, lic stutcd llnil thc prisoner asked liim not lo tcll whore the liquor was hid and that the prisoner helped to move thc liquor t'rom the coal bin to ri biirrcl in the Journal biulding."

iii conclusion, thc Attorney General

stated tiiat it was cortainly an iiiii`or- tunatc thing that these three men should get mixed up in such matters, and stated he left. thc iniitter to thc jury to form their own opinion as to wliether the prisoncr was guilty or not guilty.

G. Hogg, who is always ready to place lils services and his theatre at the disposal of any good cause.

llev. Dr. lfullerton presided. aiul af-

ter :i lirlcf opening address, called up- on the lirst speaker, Col. liloorc. Tho Colonel gave a concise and instructive summary oi` thc cvents leading up to thc war and of lhc action takcn b_v thc Doiniiiloii iiiililary autliorities to en- able (‘aiiada to take its share in thc struggle. llc stated that the ullotincnt t`or Priucc lidward lslund and Nciv Brunswick was 1,000 men for the sec- ond coiitingcnt und only ti-n days are left to complete thc enlistnient. There were sonic men still needed and he urged upon all young men who could possibly be spared to enrol themselves in their co\iiitry's defence. He regret- ted that lic liiinsclf was prevented by his age from going to the front, but lic felt sure that a suillcieiit nunihcr could be obtained to make up the lsland’s quota. Ho graphically pictured the effect of ri victory by Germany in this struggle when, if such u ciihiinity were possible, all thc overseas doininions would become Gcrinnn colonies and in the triinsfcr the women and children of Canadians would be subjected to such inhuman atlrocltics ns had bccn perpetrated in liclgium. llc culled upon all men of military use to show their patriotism and urged the mo- thers und wives to show tho trite Spartan spirit in not only permitting

them but urging thcin to go.

Rev. Canon Simpson followed. llrc-

faclng his rcinurks with llic statc- meiit that he himself was an old sol- dier, having cntcred military service ilfty-three years ago. lic proceeded to show the desperate situation that still exists with reference to the war. We had been over-confident oi’ iiritain's greatness but lic would rcniind his hearera that thc Empire was engaged in a life and death struggle against s foe whose rcsourccs were almost inex- haustible, a foe who had for forty years been preparing for this war. llc inslanced the orderly march of the Germans into Belgian cities and the fact that it was only aftcr the war had belnin that thc Allies had commenced their preparation. When the enemy is driven into his own country, (‘anoii Simpson declared, thc severost part of the struggle will only be beginning. llc remarked in passing that he had a sister iii Vienna and n nephew in the Austrian nrmy. While not proud ol' his iiephew'ii connection with the Austrians he said that from advices

received from them both he learned thot Germciiy v.'n~i still conlidrnl of victory. 1':--itidn bud hclpcd inaxiiif, ccntly. india was helping. an-l ivu ln Prince Eilwurd Island must not lag behind. All should consider their duty to (ind, to their nelghlior, to their tountry, Tlic nicu who lind cnllsted

did nobly; they realized the risk they were running and accepted it nolily. He urged upon all to far-c thc question squarely “What is my duty iii this crisis" and to act.

Rev. Dr. Fullertoii was the next

speaker. He said there were 30,000 Roman Catholic: clergy in the ranks of the Allies and a large number ol’ Protestant clergyinen. They believed they were lighting on the side oi' right. He spoke of the heroic conduct ot` the Belglans. without whose gallant stand against the invaders, France would havc been overrun during the early stages of the war. He referred to the German attempt to foinent rebel- lion and scdltion in the countries ol' the Allies and cnipliasizcd the need of Britons thc world over to stand iirni b_v the flag. Dr. Fullerton explained the provision that is being niadc by the Government for the inaliiteiiaiicc ot' those \vlio go to the front and for their dependants and made a strong plea for young men to coinc forward and take their places in the firing line.

Tile speeches were interspersed

with patriotic songs by l)r. ’l‘. E. Roh- ins, Lieuts. George Beers and G. Elmer Ritchie and the meeting closed with the National Anthem.

At the close ot' the meting three

young men handed in their names to the Ret-riiiiiiig Ollicor, l.icutciiaiit Johnson, who is ul, present on thc is- land.

The Wizard who put Music

into millions of Iiomes ,

S you sit in your own home and listen

A to the stirring strains oi' a military

band--or the liquid, luscious notes of

a far famed singer-do you realize the thanks that you, and all other music lovers, owe to Thomas A. Edison ? As you kn0W» Mr. Edison invented sound-recording and sound-reproducing instruincnts. Itwas due to his genius that millions of homes are able to enjoy everything in music. `

It was due to Mr. I€dison’s cilorts that you-_-no

matter where you Iivc-may have tlic great artists, the famous_bantIs, the clcvcrcst entertainers, the hrightcst public speakers, right in your home.

For more than thirty six years, Mr. Edison

has developed and improved the Edison Phono- grapli and Edison Records. , The Edison Phonograpii today - with its diamond reproducing point'(rcquiring _no needles) -has a softness, a richness, a velvety smoothness, a wealth of delicate overtones, that cannot be obtained with any instrument using metal needles which must be changed with every record.

You really must ht-ur the Edison to appreciate

it to the full. Won’t you come in and let us play all your favorite pieces for you P '34
