Qnly One Trial Will Be Heldln Supreme Court At George- townln Feb. Ses- sion. Grand Jury Reports. l

The February session of the Su- prcine Court opened ‘at Georgetown yesterday morning with Mr. Jus-

ce Arsenault on Iillg Bench.

l’ The Grand Jury found nine true ills. All the accused with one ex- ccptlon pleaded guilty. Jeffrey Jcrrior pleaded not guilty to a charge of shop breaking. By the pleas of guilty all other cases were disposed of, and the accused will be sentenced during the next few days. The case of Jerrlor will come before a petit jury today. It will be the only one tried" at this session, as there are no civil actions on the locket.

One of the prisoners who pleaded

' not guilty was released, as a nolle proseque was entered in his case by the Crown. The report of the Grand Jury was a. very brief docu- ment, and dealt entirely with con- ditions of tho jail and courthouse as revealed by the inspection.

The jury reported that there were six persons in the jail, all in Billmrcnt good health. ‘It recom- mended that the whole building be cleaned, that the ceilings be wash-

The decree was approved at B- Cabinet meeting at whfch Wilhelm Goering, lvfinioter without portfolio and commissioner for the Prussian Ministry of mtcrior, reported to his colleagues on the incendiary fire which damaged the Rcichstag last night and on ills recent raid 0n Karl Liebknecht House, the Communist head-quarters in Ber- lin.

The emergency measures taken by the government to cope with the situation fell short of martial law only because of the desire to keep the army out oi politics. Ex- traordinary powers to safeguard against disorder were‘ pfaced in the hands of police.

Summarized, the 14-point plat- form as enunciated by the Liberal lcaderwes as_ follows:

(l) To deal with unemployment "through s. representative nation- al commission which would co-op- crate with the provinces and mu- nicipalifles."

AMHERST, Feb. 28.—Royal Can- adian Mounted Police officers con- tinued their search today for evid- ence in connection with thc cases of Alvah Hcnwood ‘ alld ’l‘rueman Smith, as the two 18-year-old youths lay in jail awaiting trial be- fore the Supreme Court in June for thc murder of Mrs. Mabel Smith.

'I'hey were committed for trial on Saturday after signed "confessions" admitted as evidence, had described how the aged invalid's throat was cut after shc had been clubbed into unconsciousness.

In their hunt for further evidence police were checking up onsevcral phases of their investigation. The officers have found only part of the $128.00 which was taken from the Smith homo on the night of the murder, and they believe that sev- eral of the bills, stained with blood, were destroyed. '

NEW YORK, Feb. 28—Capiain J. Erroll Boyd of Toronto, only Canadian to fly the Atlantic, has set aside, for the time being, his plans for trying to shatter the world's non-stop distance record. Instead he is tuning up the Col- umbia, the ship in which he made his notable flight from Toronto to the coast of England, for a crack at the solo endurance record. The famous old ship, practically rebuilt from tall to props, is at Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, set for the ﬂight which“ will probably be at- tempted the latter part of lviarch or the first of April.

If he succeeds in shattering the record of a. little more than 35 hours, Captain Boyd proposes to go ahead with his plans for a non- stop flight. It will probably start in Europe and cnd at illc World's Fair in Chicago.
