Still active and inking e. keen interest in community af- fairs, the couple celebrated both the 55th anniversary of thrir mar- riage in Moricton and the 85th an- niversary of Mr. McClurciis birth.

Their host of friends joined in wishing the venerable couple many years of health and happiness.

A native of Prince Edward Is- land, Mr. McClure remembers many tales of the early days of the lav" in the Garden of the Gulf. His narratives of the days of pioneer life on the Island are both amus- ing and interesting.

Borden Man Gives Evidence As Tot Robbery

Fblloiving is a summary of the evidence given on Thursday In the County Court Judges Criminal Court for Queen's County in thc rase Peter Campbell and John Stanley, who were subsequently acquitted on charge of robbery with vioence. -

Arthur T. Sexton, 32-year-old employee on the S. S. Charlotte- town at Borden testified that he came to Charlottetown Saturday. December 18, and stayed at Simon LeBlancs on Dorchester street that night. He had $30 coming l0 WW" and spent some until, when he counted his money about 10.30 Sunday night, he had $14 and a good deal of change.

The witness described his move- ments Sunday night until the time he met two acquaintances on the Kent-Great George street in- tcrsection and arranged to return \ with them to Borden ‘that night. On his way to get his suitcase at Simon Lc-Blands on Dorchester street he stopped at the New Eng- land Cafe for a bowl cf soup. He came out 15 or 20 minutes after

next few years he worked with the firm of Joseph Weir and Son prior

tury. Mr. McClure is n member of the Presbyterian Church and also

12 and met the two accused on the west side of Queen Street. They accosted the witness, asked for a cigarette and "lit up" when the witness gave them one each. Sexton started for LeBlanck. Just outside the Cafe he had met and spoken to two women. Just “pass- ed the time of day". He started away and got almost around the corner when the prisoners asked him f.i- a drink and the witness replied with something to the ef- icct that he had nothing but bills. If it had been brighter he might have given them a. quarter, the ivitncss said.

He got to LeBiands, tried the door and found it iocksd. At that time the prisoners were standing half way between the corner and LeBlancls. He decided to leave the suitcase and to avoid the two men ivent west toward Pownal street. The men followed, caught up Just as he was going on to Pownal street, and again asked. for the price of a drink.

The witness said he knew Camp"- bell and asked "Pete" what his chums name was. “Claybcurne" was i116‘ reply. and a little further along Pownal street the witness said he again asked Campbell the others name and was told some- thing like "Stewart."

The men appeared to have been ‘drinking, but were not very drunk. He himself had had two drinks that day, the last Just after he re~ turned from mass at noon.

thought, fell as they went along the street and Sexton testified he asked "what's the matter with that fellow" and Campbell replied "he's just playing". They continued a- long for another block and turned east .on Grafton. By that time Stanley had caught up. Just at the Savoy Hotel on the southside of Grafton, Sexton testified he sau Campbell give Stanley "the wink." Stanley struck the witnessa punch in the mouth knocking him almost unconscious. As he was “coming to" he felt someone reach in his right hand pocket where his mon- ey was and he grabbed the arm. He was struck twice more on the side of the head and that was all he remembered until he reached the police station. He had 37 cents in his left hand pocket then. The remainder of his money and his watch were gone. About a third of his watch chain remained in his pocket. Later he got back two dollars, recovered by police.

Cross examined the witness de- clared he couldn't remember being in the Union Cafe that evening. He wasn't in with two women that he could recall. Neither was he at LeBlands that night between 11 and 11.45. He couldn't recall ask- ing Pete Campbell about a certain girl that night.
