Address To Jury
Agummarv of Mr. Justice Arsen- llml “BT86 tothe Grand Jury fol- lows:
Mr, Justice Arsenauit stated that. it is customary at the Opening o: the Supreme Court in Charlottetown for the Chief Justice to address the Grand Jury. The Chief Justice at present, however. is engaged in very important business as a mem- ber of the White Commisison to in- vestigate Maritime claims under" the Duncan Report. and has been granted leave of absence until the commission has brought in its rc-
Mr. Justice Arsenault went on to state that this is the sixth year of the depression, and at the same time this. as an agricultural com- muriity. does not feel that condi- tions are yet too prosperous though there is daylight in view, and an indication that the present year is to be the most prosperous since the depression began.
In reference to the low price of Potatoes. lvf-r- Justice Arsenault stated that he always thought it to be a poor practice for farmers to launch into a speculative industry like potato growing. He thought that the farmers should stick to the basic industry, which in this province is the dairy industry. A few acres of potatoes were all right, for if there is a poor market, the potatoes can be used on the farm. Mr. Justice Arsenault .:ferred to the early nineties when the farmers of this Province were nearly ruined by launching suddenly into agricul- tural implements. When the potato speculation came the farmers again launched into large overhead expen- diture and again found themselves in difficulties.
The dairy industry is the basic one and with hard work will yield a fair return. In order to make a success in life hard work-is neces- sary, no matter what the line of endeavour. Reference was also made to the poultry industry for which Mr. Justice Arsenault con- siders s fair return may be had if proper attention is given to breed- ing and feeding.
Many indictments
Mr. Justice Arsenault referred to the many indictments at the pres- ent tcrm of the Court. but they do not involve the amount of work the number oi indictments would in- dlcate.
The first five indictments are for sheep stealing, a crime which is new in this province. It was known at one time in Scotland where offend- ers werc rather summarily dealt with. These five young men were evidently among those who were looking for easy money.
Mr. Justice Arsenault referred to the good name this province has as regards crime. That reputation wants to be kept but at the same time care must. be taken not to con- vict anyone r ‘lo is not. guilty.
The next two cases are also for an offence not common in this province, that of biganly. In point- ing out what constitutes the crirrlo of bigamy Mr. Justice Arsensult stated that anyone who marries knowing that. a_ wife or husband ‘to be living or a person who mar- ries a person knowing that that person has a wife or husband liv- ing is guilty of blgnmy.
There is one case of perjury. This person swore s certain state- ment lt a session of the county court and had previously sworn to something entirely different.
The last crse is attempted mur- der. The evidence in this case. Mr. Justice Arsenault stated. seems to be rather unsatisfactory. A .32

E. H. Macklin, Vet- eran Newspaper- man, Resigns As Genera] Manager of “Free Press.”
(0- P- Br Guardian's Special Wire)
ININNIPEG, Jan. B-—E. H. Mack- lin, for 35 years general manager of the Winnipeg Free Press Co. Ltd, and its pICcldBIlL since 1912, today announced his resignation of the general managership, to take effect Jan, 10.
At the close of n directors‘ meet- ing, it was announced that, while resigning as gcilcral manager. Mr. Macklln would continue as pres. ident. He also will continue to rep- resent the Free Press on the board of directors of the Canadian Press. It was announced that Victor Sif- ton would succeed Mr. Macklin as general manager.
In laying his resignation before the board. Mr. Macklin said he considered that his advancing years entitled him to some relief from the burden of conduct of much day-to-day business. He had. he said, spent 55 years in active newspaper work, 35 of which had been devoted to the service of the Free Press He recalled that for some years he had from time to time suggested that he should re- tire; and he now felt that at least partial consideration should be given to his request.
J. W. Dsfoc, vice-president and editor, in moving the resolution embodying Mr. Mackllnb wish. ex- pressed the regrets which his fel- low directors shared with him that Mr. Macklin had found it neces- sary to withdraw from the position which he had filled with distinc- tion for so long a period. It was, however. a. happiness to know that the association of Mr. Macklin with the institution would con- tinue for, he trusted, many pleas- ant years of activity.
Mr. Macklin became business manager of the Free Press in the spring of 1900. coming to Winnipeg from the Toronto Globe shortly after the late Sir Clifford Sifton assumed control of the newspaper. Shortly afterwards he was ap- pointed general manager. In 1912 he succeeded the late Hon. J. W. Sifton in the presidency.
Mr. Macklin's tenure of executive office in the company has been a sustained record of progress. Com- ing to Winnipeg at the break of the century he found the Free Press housed in rTlllifld quarters on McDermnt Avenue. The newspaper had a good circulation, but was still a paper of the 19th century. It is dug to the aggressive and far- sighted management of Mr. Mack- lin that the Free Press became so quickly transformed into one of the front-rank ircwspapers of the 20th century. His publishing gifts are such that many of his inno- vations in both management and promotion have been widely copied not only in Canada but in the United States as well.
Today as he hands the general managership on, he looks back up- on 35 years of growth. After only five years he moved the newspaper into its own first home at the cor- ner of Garry Street and Portage Avenue. in a building specially de- signed for newspaper production. But even this building was found too cramping. and irl 1918 Mr. Macklin moved the Free Press in- to its present home on Carlton Street. Within the last few years this buildnig has been doubled in size.
Wihile the Daily Free Press steadily strengthened its position. the general mnnager paid special attention to ilic position of the Weekly ‘Prcc Press. the Free Press Weekly Farmer, which with a cir- culation of more than 200.000 is the largest of its kind in Canada.
Although Mr. Mscklinis main ac- tivity has always been the inter- ests of the Free Press. his services m iho daily newsnrnor press of Canada are recognized by publish- ers everywhere. It is largely due to him that today Candaian dailv newspapers have a well-developed, independent news service of their own in the Canadian Press. and in tho days of its formation Mr. Macklin was a prime spirit and moving force. l-Ie is today. as he will continue to be in future, the ‘Pres Press representative on this great Canadian news gathering association as he has been since its formation. .

In addition to the work in con- nection with these indictments Mr. Justice Arsenauit stated that the Grand Jury will be called upon to appoint constables and fence view- ers and inspect the different gov- ernment instiiuiiovis. the jail, Fal- conwood Hospital and the Infirm-

TWO WITNESSES
(Continued from _I:lle_i)_
The way was paved for his testi- mony late today by several wit- nesses, including his friend and .,. ‘. Al Reich. who drove Dr. Condon to his first rendezvous with the ransom collector in Wood- lawn Cemetery, early in March of 1932.
Objection Slltlhred
The defence led by Edward J. Reilly objected again to the intro- duction of the S0-mlled"k1dIwP ladder" as evidence. and once more supreme oourt Justice Thomas W. Trerlchard sustained the dajection. leaving the ladder merely an ex- hibit marked for identification. The identifications of I-lauptlnann were made in a. silence unbroken save for the harsh breathing of many of the spectators. On each occasion, unable to restrain them- selves, they half rose from their seats and pressed forward. strain- ing to catch every word, eyes in- tent oll the witness and on the pale defendant. He sat with his should- ers straight and stiff against the the back of his chair. The carpenter moved his head in short, negative rolls as Hochmuth wandered to his side and touched him. ‘Right there," ness quavered. When l-lalrptmann muttered the “liar" retort to Perrone. Reilly at- tempted to get the answer into the transcript. The stenographer had not, heard him, however, and Jus- tice Trenchard ruled the defence must wait until “the proper time" to show what the defendant said. The accusation by Hochmuth, a shaking little ~man with pointed white beard, caught the crowd un- awsres. The witness. who lives at the in- “ of the lane that rims to the Lindbergh house and the Mer- oer County highway, said he was standing on his porch the, fore- noon of March 1 when a.'“dirty green car" roared around the cor- ner into the lane and slid to stop at the ditch.
the elderly wit-
o Hauptnraun Alleged Driver
‘The driver, whom he identified as I-Iauptmann, "glared at me as if he saw a ghost," laid Hochmuth.
“Tell us about your experience that morning," said Attorney Gen- eral David T. Wilnntz.
"Well." said Hocllm-pth, “I saw a oar coming around the corner. Pretty good ‘speed, and I expected it to turn over in the ditch. And as the car was about 25-1 should judge 25 feet away from me. the mall there lookpd out of the win- dow like thlS"—ll8 peered from the witness chair.
Q. Out of the window of the car, you mean? A. Yes. And he glared at me as he saw a ghost.
Q. What time of thc day was that? A. It was ill the fomvoon.
Q. And the mail that you saw looking out of that automobile glared at me as if he saw a ghost. you say, is he in this room?
A. Yes.
Q. Wilcre is he? A. Alollqside thc trooper there.
He pointed a quivering finger at Hauptmaml. just as all the lights in the courtroom blinked off.
Reilly objected to the manner of identification and Wilentz request- ed l-lochmuth to sis-p down and point out the mail he had seen.
He came acoss the courtroom quickly. almost eagerly, his eyes fixed on I-‘fauptmann as Wiientz walked beside him. They squeezed into the space between the prose- cution Blld the defence tables. end the little man silddenly stopped short in front of the prisoner and touched l-lauptmannks shoulder.
Courtroom Tense
The spectators had risen from their chairs and were staring at the old man and the unmoved prisoner. Col. Lindbergh watched.
The old marl returned to the wit- ness chair and the courtroom re- laxed.
Then the witness mentioned the laddnr he said he saw ill the car. but no attempt was made to iden- tify it as the sectioned ‘kidnap ladder."
Q. And when it <the car) made the turn into the lane did it pro- ceed or did it stop? A. It stopped as ii got ill the ditch.
Q. Did it get into the ditch? A. Not yet. but it stopped there and he pulled the ladder over to him.
Q. All right now. you said just now something about a ladder: was there a ladder in the car. A. I raw something-some of the ladder irl it
Reilly was unable to yhske the old man's identification on cross- examination, or to get him to say that a trooper had pointed out Hauptmann to him in the court- room. He did acknowledge, however, that he recently salw l-fauptmann in the county jail.
It was after the state again had failed to get the ladder admitted as evidence that Perrone, g chunky man with sparse black hair and wearing glasses, took the stand.
“In your capacity as a taxi driv- or did you ever have occasion to visit the home of Dr. John I. Con- don?" asked Wilentz.
"Yes, sir," the witness replied.
Q. What was the occasion of your visit to the home of Dr. John P. Condom A. I had a man give
Condon.
Q. Who is lhr man that gave you
that enveloper-A. Bruno Richard
Hauptmann.
Pe-rrorieb voice echoed through-
out the hushed courtroom as he
spohe the name.
Q. Is he in this room? A. Yes. Slaps Hsuptmann
Then he stopped down.
r walked ‘
me an envelope to deliver to Dr.i
pod him on the shoulder.
"That's the man." he said, loudly, and Hauptmann’; muttered retort followed.
Returning
said Hauptnlann hailed
Knox piece in Gun Hill road. the £32m. on the night of March l2,
"He came running to him with his lland m-ised. motloning me to stop." said Pan-one. I "I lfWPod my cab and this man tried to open the front right side of my door and I motioned to this man to wait s minute, that I would louver the window, which I did. “This man kept looking around first before he eve;- said r word fomawhenhedidhcsskedmeis I knew where Decaltln Avenue was. "Itoldhimldidandthatlwas familiar with the neighborhood. With that hli Dilt his hand in his overcoat pocket and brought out an envelope. ‘looking at the envelop!’ he said "do you know where 2974 is?" I said. “Yes. I am familiar with the neighborhood." This man, looking around again, put his hand into me Very same POCket and gave mi: a dollar bill to deliver the envel- ope. And when he did that he walked to the rear of my cab and put his hand in his pocket-taking down my license number," Then the mail wtyed to Perrcne and he drove off, going to Dr. Condon’s home, he said. Wiltenz asked Pen-one if he knew St. Raymond's Cemetery and Wllfife Woodlawn Cemetery are, the distance from these places to Dr. Condon’s home, and whether he knew where Hauptmann lived at the time of his arrest. “How far is his home in the Bronx from the place that you rc- mived this note?" "Why, about three miles.“ Perrone, under cross-examination. said he was working as a painter for‘ the Civil Works Administration in New York because he could not earn enough as a taxicab driver.
When Reilly pointed out that Perrone made more money as a taxicab driver than as a painter the witness said he was holding both jobs at present.
"Don't you know that is prohibi- ted by the CWA?" Reilly demand- ed
Wilentz objected, but was over- ruled.
Reilly thcn took the witness through a. long series of questions about the size of the Bronx and. his familiarity with points 1h that borough, and asked him if lie could remember any of the fares he car- ried Oll March l2 excepting the young marl he had mentioned. Per- rone could recall but one other.
LONG DISCUSSION
Then after leading him through a description of the route he took the night of March 12 before he received the note to take to "Jaf- sie," Reilly asked Perrone about the clothes the man wore, stressing par- ticularly his hat. It was a felt hat. the driycr said. There was a long discussion on the kind of hat, and Reilly produced two brown hats from a pile on a courtroom table and pressed Perrone to describe the hat.
Pcrroilc decided finally it liuci a “bevel edge." He could not remem- ber the man's hands, whether they ivere bare or gloves, nor could he remember how the envelope was handed to him.
“How many times have you gone over this story?" Reilly asked.
"What story?"
"The story you arc telling on thc stand here ilow."
“How many times"? Perrolic re- peated.
“Have you told this story over and over again—l5-20 times?"
“About that.“ Pcrroilc said.
Wileiltz ill redirect examination tried to show that Perrone remem- bered the man who paid him a dol- lar on March 12 because he was the only man who gave him a note to deliver, and because that was the only note he had delivered to Dr. Condoll.
During a recess that followed Perroneks testimony. Hauptmann told rlewspapermen that he had called the cab driver a “liar?
“I don't know why he wants t0 say this against me," hp declared. before defence counsel terminated the bricf interview.
, ll Stringer, Is Claim
“Bcforc I was arrested I ilcver sritv the man before. The first time I saw Porroile was down at the Greenwich Street police station.
“He came irl with a lot of police and tried to say he had seen me before."

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Win‘!
OTTAWA, Jan. 8--The only "puncture-proof" method of got- iing around the Combines Investi- gation Act is to fol-m a merger, C» H. G. Shortt, General Manager oi tile Lake of the Woods Milling 60., told the Royal Coilimission on nlasr ouylng here today. His comment "was lnzerjected irltc a discussion ll which he ventilated the difficulties of the milling executives in the matter of stabilizing the industry in the face of the rigid provision: af the Act. ‘ '
For a number of years, an‘: Bhorirt. the Canadian Natio Millers Association had sought to achieve this stabilization. But ova: all tibeir discussions loomed the spectre of the C. I. A, deterring them. from tel-ting action lest thai action be deemed a violation of the law.
Any stabilization would have to take into account a arrangement; and it was to oppose such a proceeding that the Com- bines Act operated.
Merges- Less Insecure
He fl-Btecd with Alex M. Edwards Conservative member for Waterloo South. however, that if the same men “sat. around a. board and de- cided on a merger," the result od which was the establishment of s common price, their position would be less insecure.
The necessity for price-fixing as a condition precedent to the stab- ilization of the milling industry was contested by J. L. Ilslcy, Lib- eral member for Hunts-Kings. Ti] records of the milling companies showed many of them in the past few years had earned substantial profits. The natural consequence of a price-fixing arrangement would be to raise the price to a polar; where unproflislble concerns, whose equipment was perhaps obsolete, would insist. on security against further losses. Such being the case ho alas against the principle and upheld the C. I. A. in that respect
Today's evidence was devoted ex- clusively i0 the milling industry. The session saw W. J. Peaker, spec- ial lll\'CFli;Illl0l' for thv commission. submit a S_\'lll|)Ci.$illlll of opinion from a llumbc." of liiillcrs voilung their recommendations oil what was required to put the industry back on its feet.

W. McCarthy, a miller of Street.- ville. Ont. assured the commission he had no quarrel with the big oompailies.
