Truck Driver Absolved In Murder Case

HULL. QUE. (CF)-The bizarre "I did it-I didn't do it" murder case blew up in court here Tues- day when Allan Slemens, 21-year- old British Columbia truck driver, was absolved of the death of Claude Pare. i8, of Hull.

Siemens appeared in judge's chambers and pleaded not guilty to a charge of creating a public mischief. He was remanded one week. -

Lleut. Ubald Legault and Detec- tive Merrill Lawton of the Quebec provincial police homicide squad. who chased across Canada in their efforts to check Siemens's story said they have determined beyond doubt that Siemens could not have been in Hull June 10, when Pare is believed to have died. N0 FOUL PLAY "5:.;i'5li

The youth's body was taken from the Gatineau river near Hull June ill and buried after a doctor's ex- amination showed thero were no signs of foul play.

The body was exhumed last week, however. after Siemens gave himself up to Calgary police. claim. ing ho had killed a young man named tlClyde” in Hull. The exam- ination showed death was due to drowning.

Siemens later changed his story and said he had not killed anyone. "WE have several witnesses who saw iemens picking strawberries in Abbotsford. B. C.. his home town, early on-the morning of June 21.” Lleut. Legault told reporters.

"it would have been humanly impossible for him to have com- mitted the crimo he confessed to."

HAD BEEN DRINKING

Asked in court whether he pleaded guilty or not guilty to the public mischief charge. Siemens laid:

"I cannot say whether I was guilty or not guilty. My statements to the police were made while under the influence of alcohol.

"I read about the story of the Hull boy's death in Calgary. I happened to mention it to some- one. The police picked me up. then I couldn't convince them that I couldntt possibly have done it."

Two Drowned when This Traps Dar

ST. ANDREWS. N. 3. (CF) -Two men were drowned here early Tuesday after a rising tide trapped their car on the gravel bar road to Minister's island.

The victims were Daryl 'W. Morton, 24. of Sussex. a va- cationing telephone lineman. and Gunner Albert Francis Boutller. 30, of Glace Bay. N. S., a member of the Royal Canadian Heavy Artillery sta- tioned at Camp Utopia, about 25 miles from here.

The first hint of the tragedy came when a resident noticed the car in water. went" out in a boat and found the vehicle abandoned. The two occupants had tried to swim ashore through a strong current as the tide crept higher around the car. Their bodies were found on flats 300 feet away when the tide receded.

The gravel bar is used as a. roadway when the tide is out. At other times a boat is ne- cessary for reaching the is- land.

"Some few days ago, while rest- ing. ! had a most vivid dream- so much so that I was still talking when I woke up. But. the most im- portsnt thing about the dream is the telephone number I used. It was Burnside 2338 W.

"if there is or has been an ex- change of that-nsine in Windsor. would it be possible for you to check up on that number and please contact the people to whom it was allotted for the ms-ms

VICTORIA (CP)-The moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Can- ada says abolition of the death penalty in a "sinful society" would render insecure the lives of the people and encourage contempt for the law.

Rt. Rev. .1. Lewis McLean. mod- erator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Can- ada. told his parishioners at St. Andrew's church here:

"Our church does not advocate

Yale Scieniisi Codyei-:ts”VIiiii-: To Pipe Smoking

LA JOLLA. Calif. (AP)-The Yale scientist who believes his re- search shows heavy cigaret smoking contributes to lung can- cer and l-ieart disease has con- verted his wife to a pipe.

"I still sneak a few cigarets a day.” she added Tuesday at La Jolla beach club. where she and Hammond are vacationing. "but the pipe has helped me get down to about half ii pack each day." She previously had smoked three packs a day.

BUT NOT IN PUBLIC

Mrs. Hammond. quiet and un- obtrusive. toyed with the small pipe-similar in shape to her hus- band's larger one-and said: ''I wish I had the nervc'to smoke it in public. It might start a whole new trend."

Hammond switched from ciga- rets to a pipe abruptly some tlmo ago and bought the small pipe for his wife in Los Angeles on their way here from the cast.

”The pipe mainly gives me snmething to do with my hands." said Mrs. Hammond. ”I find that cutting off cigarcts made me aw- l fully nervous."

The Hammnnris said they wouldn't be surprised if women pipe smokers become common bo- nre long. "But there will have in be others leading the campaign,” Mrs. Hammond said.
