Thursday that Col George, for his parliamentary and military duties charged the treasury for at least 413 days in 1051 or more days than a. year embraces. Mr. Nickle said then that the 32,500 the soldier- MP received from the army was S700 higher than any other re- servist.
Col. Georges figure was 832 1-2 days. He said Parliament actually oat 161 days, but that members were entitled to be absent 15 days each session and still draw a full indemnity. There were two ses- sions, making 30 days that could be cut from the 161, leaving 131. He drew 810.000 during the year-- in 52.000 living allowance and 54.- 000 for each session. He charged for the equivalent of 20a 1-2 army days.
Mr. Nickle, in making his charge. said the Commons sat a totnl of 22-1 days-he apparently included week-ends, while Col. George didn't-and knocked l3 days off that to reach a parlia- mentary total of 209. He estimat- ed Col. George's army time nt 20-1 days.
Board In Silence
Except for the occasional plaud- its of Liberal members. Col. George was heard in silence. Mr. Nickle was asked laier by a re- porter whether he proposed to pursue the matter further and he replied that that will be tip to the
Conservative members to decide as a group. Col. George called 1951 an ex-
ceptional year" because he took over command in January of that year, had to become familiar with his duties; had to make changes and devoted every hour he could find, including his liolirlays and week-end, to the unit. The spade- ll'flI'k he did then paid off in 1952 when he cut his army time from 202 l-2 days to I33 I-2.

Kingslon Acquiiied in County flouri -
In the County Court yesterday Judge C. St. Clair Traiuor acquit- ted George Antihony Cahill, Kings- ton, of the charge of fraudlently selling a steer which had strayed.
The trial which was heard ill the County Court Judges Cr1minal Court of Queens County, ended when Judge Trainor gave his judg- ment yesterday morning. It arose from a charge that "a. black steer” claimed by Mr. James Edmund Jewell, who has a. farm adjoining that. of the accused. strayed front his place and a similar type steer was afterwards seen on the farm of Mr. Cahlll.
The presiding judge s i ate d "similarity of size and color al- though auspioions are not con- clusive proof." One of tnc points on which his judgment was based was that the steer had been sold.
according to the charge, between
.October 13, 1952, and October 18
I952. The judge cited previous cases to the effect that the use of word "between" ruled out the
ilath, which was apparently the
day on which the sale had been
frnade.
He stated that this alone would dispose of the case, btit owing to the importance of the matter from the viewpoint of the complainant he felt the ends of justice would be better served by disposing of the case on its merits rather than on technical grounds.
Onus of Proof on (frown
Iii stating what the Crown had to prove Judge Trainor said that
it was not necessary to prove every-
fuct by direct evidence as circum- stantial evidence IS often equal and sometimes more cogent than direct evidence. He said that it was not only necessary to prove that the accused had sold a steer to Mr. Geddic MacLr-od, well known but-
,chci', but that it must prove that and favours to none should
,thc steer so sold was one which had strayed from the farm of Mr Jewell.
He was particularly notidlng the evidence of various witnesses who had seen a steer on the premises of Mr. Cahill and the testimony was frequently at variance when they attempted to describe the animal. He also noted that though Mr. Jewell stated he had seen the
animal on the Cahili i'arm at diff- persons crcnl: times and at varying dis-
tances he made no effort to re- cover it. The judge cxprt-we-cl

farm. She had taken the animal into the barn the night before Geddle MacLeod was to come af- ter it.
Judge Trainor said that the evid- once of the defense to him raised :1 grout deal more than a reason- able doubt. He said it follows that on the evidence the accused should be acquvittctl. His Honour had ear- lier rcfused l'l defense counsel mo- tioii for acquittal at the conclus- ion as he felt there were matters which ought to be weighed care- fully bcfore a decision was reached.
Mr. Gerald Foster represented the defendant while Mr. J. 0. C, Campbell, Q.C., Deputy Attorney General, appeared for the Crown.

Zion Men's Association Annual Meeting
Chief of Police 0. A. MacArth- ur was guest speaker at the an- nual dinner meeting of Zion Men's Association held in the recreation hail last evening when the new officers for the year were also el- ected and installed.
Chief MacArthur spoke of the co-operation which should exist between the police and the pub- lic. In referring to his attendance at the Police Chiefls convention in Winnipeg, he stated that stress was laid on the police force as being the guardians of safety in the war between wars. "The nec- essity of the police maintaining an attitude of fairness, tact and diplomacy, with equity in justilc: uppermost in the minds of all concerned,” continued the Chief. "A man's home is his castle and the freedom of the subject is his greatest asset. According to our present system of justice and law enforcement, is subject is innoc- ent until proven guilty." This of
that it is better that ten guilty go unpunished rather than one innocent subject should stiffer."
"The grave responsibility of the
in an investigation, a clear under-
in court is the best safe- way.
the speaker concluded. "and when R robbery or other offence is being investigated it is of great help and the performance of a duty; when law-abiding citizens come forward with definite in- formation. Information given in this vcay. when linked with other known facts, may often lead the investigator to reach a logical conclusion and be enabled to bring a case properly before the courts.
Chief MacArthur was extended a. vote of thanks for his instructive address, by William Boisner who occupied the chair.

Refuses To Appear In Police Lineup
VANCOUVER, Jan. 19 -(GP) - Walter Pavlukoff, 39, charged with mtirder in the 1947 slaying of bank manager Sydney Petrie refused Sunday on the advice of his lawyer to appear in a police identification lineup.
witnesses to the shooting of Petrie during a bank holdup at.- tempt Aug. 27, 1947, were assembled in the lineup room when Pavlukoff refused to come out. of his cell.
Pavlukoff refused to come out on the advice of his lawyer, Thomas Hurley, who said police refused to put a man resembling Pavlukoff into the lineup.
Said Hurley:
"The danger is that witness will be disposed to pick out the person whose photograph they have seen many times in the newspapers and whose description. They might also have learned through the press. A lineup without somebody in it re- sembllntz the accused would be a farce. ,
"The press has conducted a cam- paign which has amounted to propaganda. The newspapers havl thrown their weight on the side of the crown. They have referred to Pavlukoff at all times as Can- ada's public enemy No. 2. Putting Pavlukoff in an ordinary lineup now would be as futile as placing a colored suspect among 10 white persona,"
Mr. Hurley said he would do .11 in his power to prevent his client from "being thrown to the lions to provide a Roman -holiday for sad- ists and sensatlonallsts.”
Cll-Y Prosecutor Gordon Scott said: "I agree with my friend (Mr. Hurley) that some very unfor-tun. ate news items have appeared re. Bardlng the dlentlty of the accus- ed. There is no question about 1: and it is horrible that it has been done."
