Evidence Is Completed In" Manslaughter Case; Accused Gives Testimony

The trial of Melvin Charles Ram- say of Oampbellton, charged with motor manslaughter in the death of James 0'Meara in an accident near Alborton on Augusttznd.. contin- ued in Supreme Court in summer- sidc yesterday with Mr. Justice Mark R. Maccruigan presiding. At yesterday's proceedings the taking of evidence was completed. Four witnesses, yesterday. making a to- tal of 10, were called by the Crown and two, including . the accused. were called by the defence. Counsel for each side will ad- dress the jury this morning. after which the presiding judge will in- struct the jury who will .then retire to reach a decision.

Erskine Miller Hardy, the first witness yesterday, told of being in the area of the accident and of observing the Ramsay truck take a swerve on the road. go into the ditch and hit the bank. When he arrived at the truck the accused was standing by the truck door. John Lewis and his son Earle ar- rived on the other side ed tlhe truck at about the same time. witness had asked and accused had replied that no one was hurt. Earle Lewis had started to leave to call a doc- tor and accused had called to him to say that no one was hurt. Wit- ness and accused then went around to the other side of the truck where they first saw the body of 0'Meara.

Under cross examination the wit- ness said he had no reason to be- lieve the accused had seen body of O'Meara before this time.

Corporal W. Warner, in charge of Alberton detachment of the RC.- M.P.. described his investigation of the accident, gave measurements and submitted a photo of the scene.

He described the scene of the ac- cident and told of having had ac- cused brought from a nearby house.

' He said conversation of accused was

not normal. speech was thick. eyes glazed and he smelled stronizlv of iliquor. He said the accused was in- itmricated and staggered as he walk-

The accused admitted he had been drinking. Witness had him remov- ed to Prince County Jail on a charge of drunken driving.

did not need a dpctor. Mr. Lewis had shown him Mr. 0'Msara's body on the other side of the truck. Wit- ness said he frequently drank nou- sidcralble liquor but didn't think he was drunk when the accident hap- pened. '

He said he could not say where O'Mesrs. was" when he left the Keefe house to go to Alberton. and at that time he had no knowledge of OMears.'s whereabouts.

in cross examination the witness admitted to the Attorney General that his testimony shdwed-that he had previously made five trips that morning over the road where the accident happened and knew the culvert was there. and had no dif- ficulty in navigating over the cul- vert on any of the previous trips. When asked, he said the amount of the note signed for him by Dr. Keefe was for :30. and he secured this money because he did not have any at that time. He said that af- ter purchasing the two quarts of liquor he and his wife had gone back to Dr. Keefe's from Albertcn for the purpose of giving him some of the liquor as an indication of appreciation of his having signed the note. .

He said that had the accident not happened and they had reached Alberton, his wife's tourist permit would have been used to make any additional liquor purchase.

He said that he did not see Meara come out of the house fore they left the Keefe home.

The final witness called was John A. Jones. Piusville, who ar-

t..;..il.......I Oil For Piiprops. And Pulpwood

According to a report heard in Summersids yesterday, the imme- diate outlook of the pulpwood and pitprop industry on P. E. I. is not encouraging. It was learned that P. E. 1. Produce Co. Ltd. one of the largest dealers in this wood in- dustry in the western part of the Island. is suspending all purchases of pulpwood and pitprops as of to- dB)'-

Thls news will be learned with disappointment by farmers who have just completed harvesting and ploughing. and who were pre- paring to engage in the.cutting of pltprope or pulpwood during the fall or winter season. .

it is understood that this im- ation is caused by the fact that export contract shipments will be less than in the past year and this will cause a slump in the Cana- dian pu'pwood market.

About 500 cords of pulpwood be- longing to one company are now piled at Summerside without any apparent market for 'it, and a member of the company said he thought the industries only hope for renewed vigor would depend on whether or not contracts could be secured for this industry on-Pa

Rates Boost Likely

Once a wage-increasing agree- ment was nailed down. it was ex- pected here. the railways would quickly apply to the Board of Transport Commissioners for rate increases to cover the full amount of the settlement. They already have a nine-per-cent rate appli- cation before ths- board based on current expenses.

In the two findings-of which the majority report is the govern- ing one-the two-man majority found some agreement with Mr. Lewis but mostly split with him.

They were in agreement official- ly only on the check-off of union dues bylthecompanies. on the basis that it would be compulsory on the part of the railways and voluntary and revocable by individual union members.

Mr. Lewis did not mention the poim in his report. but presumably he also agreed with the majority finding in favor of a union demand for elimination of a 1950 contract clause restricting overtime pay by employ-eesiin the event of a pro- claimed national emergency.

On other issues, the majority:

1. Ruled against a union-de- manded escalator clause in con- tracts providing for a one-cent- sn-hour increase in wages for .every point increase in tho cost-of-living index from last Sent. 1.

2. Tin-ned down a union call for the union shop. which would mean that all employed under the contracts between compan- lss and unions-161.000 in all- would have-to belong to the sp- 'prcpi-late unions.
