ses anyone else. Bhe called for help and when she wont back into the house, Solomon Gallant had taken deceased inside. Ho was uncon- scious. “Wc placed him in bed. Did not get the doctor until Monday. He remained in the same condition until he died."“'1‘he prisoner came to see Perry on Sunday, but did not come back again.

Corlstable Heath, stationed at Summerside, next witness, testified that he first saw the prisoner on April 17 at police headquarters at 0'Leary. _

Prisoner was there with two oth- er police officers and made a state- ment to witness after the custom- ary ‘warning had been given.

Constable Keys corroborated the evidence of the previous witness. This closed the case for the Crown.

Mr. Lewis then opened the case for the defense and called the pris- oner, Edmund Arsenault, whose testimony was that he was in com- pany with thc previous witnesses on April 15th. They had a. bottle of moonshine between them at Syl- van Dcuoettsrs barn, Witness was "pretty drtuik, but not drunk enough not to remember what I was doing." The moonshine was from n. still. He later went to Eddie ‘Perry's with James Arsenault and asked him for a quart of moon- shine. He refused to give it to me without the money and I struck him on the face. Hg fell and I shook him. I could not say whether he was moving when I left. I did not think he was hurt bad. I saw him on Sunday but not after."

No further witnesses were called for the defense. Mr. L. G. Lewis then addressed the jury for- the defense and Mr. E. H. Strong, K.C., for the Crown. His Lordship charged the jury in a brief address. They retired at 4.30 pm. and re- turned at 4.45 pm. with a. verdict of "guilty" of manslaughter, with a strong recommendation for mer- cy.

as theragged appearance of the Iears and other scratches could have ‘been caused by the bites of fishes. ,'I‘here were no marks oi violence, 'no fracture, or hemorrhage. Some water was found in the lungs. In his opinion the deceased came to his death by drowning.

Questioned with regard to other marks, Dr. Mac-Phee stated they could have been caused by a. blow.

Question: "Would the blow be sufficient to knock him down that he could not get up?"

Answer: “The marks did not in-

dicate any great violence, and were not Sufficient to knock him out for 11W lensth oi time." _ Dr. Simpson corroborated the evidence of the previous witness and said he saw no evidence of foul play.

Thomas Brow-n, janitor at the High School, testified to the move- ments of Landry, Gaudet and him- self up till the time he parted with them ‘which tallied with Landry's up to that point. He had no liquor when they left Summerside. “After we got to the Island," he stated "I went to the spring; saw Ben Bonler there. He offered me a drink which I took. I asked Ben for a dish of rum. He gave it to me. We went to Landry and Gnudet and gave them B. drink. About five o'clock we went to the spring and had more drinks. A few words came $31M there was a tussle between

and ma. Fred Gaudct was intoxicated. Shortly ‘after Gaudet and. Landry moved away. There were no blows struck. I did not see Landry and Gaudct alter that."

Heard Voice From Sandbar

“I stayed at the spring until quite late. Soniefs boat was missing so we went out to the sand bar. We shouted and someone answered.

Could not remember who called

first. Voice seemed to come from sandbar. I called Fred by name. The voice seemed to be strong the first time. The direction wassouth- west. The voice seemed to be gett- ing weak. That might be about ten o'clock. we figured Gaudet was working his way up the breakwater. the same as we were. The last time I sww Gaudet he was fairly drunk; but could walk. when we got to the light house Sonier asked Gal- lant to take us into town. Sonier said we are p, man short." They had no liquor at the lighthouse.‘

lAndre Paturel testified that he loaned a dory to Landry, Gaudet and Brownt) g0 to the Island on Sunday afternoon. They were per- fectly sober. "They did not offer me a. drink. Between ten and eleven that night, ‘Mrs. Landry came to my office on Queens wharf and asked me to drive Waller home as he was drunk. I took him in my car. Mrs. Fred Gaudet asked where Fred was, I asked Landry and he said ‘they are asleep on the Island. He also told me my dory hnd gone adrift and he had found another and came home. We sent a motor boat over but they could find no one. We heard some one call "Fred, Fred." some time later Sonier and Brown came in a boat, I asked if Gsudet was drowned. They said they did not know. 1 informed the police one of ‘the men was missing. I thought he was drowned.

Arthur Gallant, lighthouse keep- er at Indian Point, at the entrance to Summerside harbor, testified that about 11.30 pm. some one knocked at his door. Ben Sonlcr was there, he said "Open the door quick some one is drowned". I said "who?" He replied, "we were only fooling." He asked me to take them to town as some one had stolm their dory. Tlicy had a drink of liquor apiece. They decided to wait until morning. Ben Sonicr took two bottles out of his pocket. ‘They lwent into kitchen and were argu- ing. They were pretty full. I told them I wasrgoing to take them home. When we got to Queen's wharf Rennie Gallant said? "Keep your eyes dpen for Fred Gaudet," this was the first I had heard that he was missing.

Ben Sonier admitted having the tussle and corroborated Brown's evidence as to hearing cries.

Raymond Arsenault testified that he was on the Island Sunday after- noon with his brothcrs and sisters on c, picnic. They did not take any liquor but got some from Sonier over there. They did not pay for it, they left about six o'clock. They were on Queen's wharf about 10.30 and heard the others had not been home so took s. motor boat and searched betwee. the Island and lighthouse. They heard some one cry once or twice bu‘. could find no one.

Following is a, more extensive rc- port oi the evidence of Walter Landry, given on Monday night:

DRDTHEDDF DECEASED HDAVE EVIDENCE

Testimony of Alex Johnson Was Heard At Inquest At Dun- das Yesterday.

Lengthy testimony cf Alex John- son brother of John David John- son into the cause of whose death an inquest is being held at Dundas, was hoard yesterday. Evidence was also given by Constable Cordwell, of the R. C. M. P. who conducted the hives-Ligation of the case, and by a number of other witnesses. The evidence of Johnson consisted chief- ly of the story of his whereabouts on tile night on which John David Johnson disappeared.

The inquest was adjourned till Tuesday next, when 1t will probably be completed.

Alex Johnson, brother oi the de- ceased, was on thé' stand for sev- eral hours. He testified that in the afternoon of the day in question he had gone to Bridgetown, going part way by bout, and the last part of the trip on foot. They had fished, and inter wont to Bernard McMasters for supper. He, went fishing again, and John David came along and asked him if he were going to get the stuff, meaning the beer. Wit,- ncss slated that he had said he did not know where it was. A. D. Mc- Muslci- knew where it was, and they went to James Stewarfs in a row boat. He waited for more than an hour in James Stewart's house, while A. D. carried. the kegs to a. hedge on the Stewart property. The wit- ness stated that he went out and met A. D. and that they carried the beer to a. hedge nearer the road. A. D. then went back to Angus John- son's place by boat for a horse and wagon. The witness stayed with the kegs of beer for a time, he stated.‘ and then, as he was getting cold, went down to the residence of Ber- nard McMaster, his brother-in-law. When he was a short distance west of MacLeanb store, Bridgetown, witness stated that he saw a. wagon coming to meet him. He passed the store, and went along to Bernard McMastei-‘s, arriving there about 10.35, according to McMasterZs clock. He had heard a horse and wagon crossing the bridge, and just as he was going in the door he saw what he thought was a gray horse passing along tile road.

Mr. D. L. Mathiesofl, who repre- sented the Crown, suggested that

izhere appeared to be a apacspf a-

bout 20 minutes elapsed from the time the witness passed Macleanb store till he got to Bernard Mac- Master's.

Witness stated that he had passed the store, that there were some peo- ple on the steps, that he walked di- rcctly to MacMasters. He had not seen John David. He walked quite fast as it was a cold night.

The witness darned that he had told certain parties that John David had shown him some money on that day. While at Bernard McMasterb, witness had warmed himself, smok- ed a cigarette and had had a. drink of water. He remained there five or ten minutes, and then returned to where the beer had been cached. Five minutes later A. D. MacMaster came along. They loaded the casks of beer on the wagon, and drove home. Witness went to bed at once. Next morning he went down to the

m. Paturel. We went to dis clams. but tide was high and waited for tide to go down.

Brown went over to the spring ut North side of Island. He fell in with Ben Arscnauit and a Gaudct boy.

Fred Gaudet and I started to dig clams. Thom Brown returned with three drinks of liquor. He got the liquor from Ben Sonicr. We all went to the spring. Ben was there with bottle treating the boys. We had another drink.

IPrcd and I went back to dig

‘clams. He is my son-in-law.

Ben sonicr and Thomas Brown came over and we had another drink. I said to Tom and Fred it is time to go home. 'I‘hcy said wait awhile. We noticed our boat had broken clear. We got another dory to go after our own, but could not catch, up to it. Fred said don't go home now, you are too drunk. I said, "Come on home," Fwd said, “You will be drowned." I went on alone and arrived at l0 p. m. at Queen's wharf. My wife and others were time. Andre Paturel drove us home. I told Mrs. Gaudet I had left Fred and Tom on the Island drunk. A boat went aftcr thern, my wife did not want mo to go back so I went to bod.

"About 3.30 lslondny morning Ben Arscnault and nlysclf went ov- er io the Island but saw no one. We were all good fricnds. There was an argument about s. bill but no fighting before I left for home."
