lie said that he had searched i'l'0llild the Macliinnon place for parts of 10 or 12 days looking for an expended sliell. It had not been found. At different times he had gone over many parts of the tzirni using a mine detector to help locate the metal object. Constable Sandberg said he had seurciied no other properties for rifles. but another .22 had been turned into the Souris officc. Another visit in tlic MacDonald premises under a search warrant was for the purpose of obtaining horsehair. while a still different search was made for a pair of pliers which were found in the tool box of a tractor. He said they hurt been seen when the search for the rifle was made but were not taken then. They were produced in court as evidence and argument was offered by the defence as to their ability as wire

Horse Tracks Distinctive

He said that horse. tracks men- tioned in his previous testimony were distinctive because there was a particular marking on one of the hooves. The tarred rope found where a horse had apparently been untl a handkerchief were also put into evidence. The rope had been

lying loosely across some tree branches near where. the horse had been. There was horsehair

stuck on the branches of a near- iiy tree. He had collected a num- ber of the hairs and sealed them before sending them to the po- lice laboratory in Regina by reg- istered mail.

During cross examination the constable said he believed the MacKinnon and MacDonald homes were about 2 V2 to 3 miles apart by the highway and about the same distance through the fields. He did not know how many farms nr fences there were between the two places but recalled that two of the fenches had been cut. He

also saw tracks of a horse going through the openings made by the cuts.

In reply to questioning he said he knew the area well and there was a bird sanctuary (Black Pond) nearby. He had not heard of anyone shooting ducks illegally at night. but some shooting is done in the area.

Asked by Mr. Campbell he said the horse he had seen in the barn of Aeneas MacDonald had distinctive marks on its hooves similar to the markings previous- ly noted.

Mr. Johnston asked what kind of a horse he had been looking for and the answer was a light one. ”Where I come from a 1,400 pound horse is not a heavy one." He thought the horse in the Mac- Donald barn would weigh about 1,000 pounds, allowing 100 pounds either way.

Saw Tracks of Horse

Luke Power. whose farm is be- tween the Macldinnnn and Mac- Donald properties. described the various other intervening farms and told the names of their own- ers. He said he had been plow- ing all the week of the shooting and was still at the plow in one of his fields November 8. The next day he was also plow- ing in that field and saw tracks of a horse on Sunday. November 11. They crossed the area where he had plowed up on Thursday but did not cross the plowed Friday. Some of the tracks were over the section worked on Thursday. They appeared to have been made by an unshod horse. Giynneth Stewart, a carpenter of Souris. said he had removed the window through which the bullet had passed at the Mac- Kinnon home and identified it when produced in evidence. lie related that the screen through which the bullet also had passed was not in a frame but was tack- ed outside about two inches from the glass lights. He had pushed tacks through to the centre piece of wood in the sash to maintain the same relative position of the screen to the window it had when tacked to the outside casing.

The window revealed a small hole with slight radiating ci-at-ks about an inch in diameter with two crack lines extending to the sides of the light. The glass was not shattered.

Produces Pliotogralilis

Cpl. Alan Johnston. R.C.M.P.. Charlottetown. said he had gone to the MacKinnon place the night of the shooting. He produced II set of photographs he had taken that night and at" later times. The first showed the body of Mrs. MacKinnon lying in the hallway. Its introduction was objected to by Mr. McPI1ee on the grounds that the body had been moved from where it first fell. In last week's Icstiniony Alban MacKin- non. son of the dead woirizin told of carrying his mother from the kitchen where she was shot to the hallway.

Other photos showed a rliffr-r- ent view of the body and the kitchen. One picture had been taken (through the window to show the nearby outside areii. It also showed the hole in the win- dow. A picture of the footprint near the dairy was also shown the court and several enlarge- ments were produced showing it at actual size. They. too, were ob- jected to by Mr. McPhee. .

Cpl. Johnston said he had also made a' plaster cast of the foot- print and said it was the same size as the right boot of the pair owned by the accused. After ob- jections by Mr. McPhee the wit- ness told of Joining the R.C.M.P. in 1935 and said he had been tak- ing official photographs since 1939. He had taken courses in photography and had studied the making of plaster casts.

He said there was a "scar" on the heel of the boot and a sim- ilar one on the impression. He thought the impression was "in all probability made by this hoot."

Made Print; Casts He had made four casts of foot- prints in the field between the Mackinnon and MacDonald pro- perties and they were introduced

over the objections of the de- fence. The R.C.M.P. constable was

Begin Ice-Making At Montague iiink”.

The Montague rink was given its first flood yesterday afternoon in temperatures hovering around the low twenties in an attempt to build up an ice base so as to have early skating this year. The first few floods with low tem- perature seal the ground. pre- venting undue frost heave later in the season. a condition which de- vcioped last year owing to un- seasonal thaws which complete- ly removed the ice base.

With continued cold weather, Mr. Cocii Bell. rink manager, hopes to have skating by Christ- mas, a goal which has not mate- rialized. though not for lack of attempts. for several years.

which made these impressions due to several "accidental cuts" in the boots showed up in the casts.

- The footprints were in sequence and showed both right and left prints. There had been several prints made three casts of prints in the strawberry patch .and though they were not as clearly defined they showed somewhat similar mark- ings as the boots due to the pat- tern.

. Sketches he had made of the interior of the room involved in in the house and the outside ter- ritory were produced but oppos- lnx counsel engaged in a long argument over their admissability. Before conclusion of their dis- cussion an adjournment was tak- en for a short period. When court resumed it had been agreed by counsel and the presiding magis- trate to further adjourn the In- quiry until next Thursday as It was decided it would be impos- sible to finish the cross examin- ation of Cpl. Johnston and still hear all the evidence of Cpl. Lionel Strong. of the Souris de- tachment. who was in charge of the original investigation.
