Continued from page 1

MT County. Prince Edward Island? A. Yes, sir.

Q. Now you have heard me men- tion here about the affidavit of Wilfred Watterworth and about a Subpoena for you last summer to attend his trial. When did you first hear about that subpoena? A. Only within the last week.

Q. You heard of it from me. is that correct? A. Yes. sir.

Q. Last year you never knew there was a subpoena out for you? A. No. sir.

Q. You didn't attend the trial? A. No, sir.

Q. I just want to take Mr. Wat- terworth's evidence and go through it from the first and read parts to you and see what you have to say -On page 3 of the evidence the question reads: "How would these applications go in? What was the system?" and the answer in part. . . "Then the application form would be made out and in th: gcneial rule it went to Dr. Grant to be recommended." Would you say, Doctor. that sometimes it was true that applications went to you to be recommended? A. It was not true that as a general rule they went to me to be-recommended.

Q. In fact. have you made in qulries to see how many you had recommended? A. Probably six or seven at the most.

Q. You heard that things were not as they should be? A. Thev were not. I found that Mr. Wat- teiworth had used his own name as the person recommending the loan. That was w-hat was on the paper when I went in there. I found that I had signed six or seven. and the others. those I had refused to sign. he had signed them himself--Mr. Wilfred Wat- terworth.

Q. He says here. "I was very much tnteiested in polltics." A. At the election four or five years ago. previous to the one we are talking about - I think in I943. Wetter- worth was one of the candidates -- he and Joseph Campbell. At that election I was very much interest- ed because I wanted to see him elected and I helped in their or- gan-lzation.

By-Election Activities

Q. So that you were closely con- nected with Watterworth in 1943? It. Yes. In the meantime there was a by-election that came up be- tween IMS and 1947 and Joe Camp- bell ran for the Liberals against Major John J. McDonald. and I was interested in that election too. But a day or two before the by- election I asked Mr. Campbell if he had arranged for the cars for the Montague polls and he said that Wilfred Wattei-worth was tak- ing care of the cars for the Man- tague polis. but the momlng of the election I found that I was the only car running for Campbell - I couldnt see any more cars around and I went to Wattenvortii and told him what Mr. Campbell said. that is. that he. Watterworth. was going to supply the cars. I went to Watterworh and said. "Joe said you were supplying cars.” and he said "To H--- with Joe Camp- bell" or words to that effect.

Q. In this by-election. Watter- worth appeared to be against Campbell? A. Yes. I considered that he was against the Liberal Party and after that I have never discussed politics with him.

Q. Now back to the evidence on page 9 and lo "(Q). When you went to Dr. Grant. did you have any other applications with you'.' (A). I had twelve others. (Q). Did he sign them? (A). Dr. Grant signed the thirteen applications. (Q). was there any discussion about this particular one? (A). Not any discussion on this particular bunch. He says 'You are dolm fine.' He says This is great; get as much for the boys as you can. and get it out'." Now. doctor. was there ever such a conversation? A. No. it is all false. '

Q. You never signed any thirteen applications all at once? No I certainly did not.

Q. You didn't say 'You are doing fine. this is great'? A. It is all false.

Q. I'll read from the evidence on page 10: "(Q). What was the meaning of 'Get it out”? (A). Pas-. it out. (Q). For what purpose? (A). It was just at that'tlme. if. was very close to the election and I put it out as I was instructed to do." Now. Dr. Grant. you had no talk about election at all? A. No. I considered him to be a Con- servative. and that those were his people -- I thought he was getting some nets for them.

Didn't. Alk lllna

. I Q. In connection with the elec-

tion yin had nothing to do with him? . I didn't discuss anything with him - I didn't. ask him what side he was on because I tutor: I wouldn't get a .rcllabla ainwsr.

Q. Now back to the evidence near the top of page la: "(Q). For that purpose? (A) The auto pur- pose was to lick Clark and '1amp- bell." I'll have to check that - I think it was meant to be "to elect air: and Campbell." A I

stink it reads All right the way it

Q. You say. Dr. Grant. that it reads all right - that was Wat- tarwort.h's purpose - to lick Clark and Campbell. Q. Now further down the page in the evidence I quote: "(Q) Did you have any conversation with the man who signed the application about this? (A). Yes. He told me to get as much u I could get and get it

out." Did you have any such conversation? A. That's all false -absolutely.

Q. And further I quote: "tQ). Do you know it Dr. Grant. had anv connection with the Government of Prince Edward Island at that time? (A). No. No more than he is a Liberal and interested in politics, I don't think he was in- terested in the Government. any more than I know he wanted Keir Clark and Joseph Campbell elect- ed.". Is that correct, Dr. Grant? A. Yes. that's correct.

Q. And the next line: "(Q). How often did you see him? (A) I saw Dr. Grant very often. sometimes go up to his place: on several oc- caslorn particularly before the election he was in to my office” Is there any truth in that? A. I never went into his office in con- nection with the election.

Q. Were you ever in his office? A. I was in a. few times - I don't. think it was that fall . I went in to get some fish for the dinner. I usually bought the fish from Mr. Poole.

Q. -- You recall going to Mr. Watterworth's to get fish for eat- ing at your house? A. - Yes. that's the only time.

Q. - Since the by-election? A. - Yes. Mr. Poole was generally there. I think one day Mr. Watterworth gave me the fish. I never went in on any political business after that by-election.

"AIl False"

Q.-Reading from the evidence on page 12. ”tQ.) Did he know you had this money, (A.) Yes. ((3.) How? (A.) I told him I had. (Q.) Did you tell him how much you had on any occasion? (A.) I told him the day before the election I had 8250. left." Did you have any such conversation? (A.) That's all false.

Q. - You never mentioned any- thing in connection with the elec- tion. A.- No. I did not.

Q.-And further on on page 12 of the evidence, "And Dr. Grant said 'Get it out'. I said iwrlte me some tickets then.' ((1.) Tickets for what? (A.) Liquor. Doctor's prescriptions. He -wrote me ten tickets and went out." Did that ever happen. Dr. Grant? A. - I don't think lt' did - not at that time. The election before, when he was running himself. I might have given him some tickets.

Q. - If you gave him any, it might be one like you would give to anyone. A. -- Yes.

Q. - You never gave him any number of prescriptions? A. None I can remember.

Q. The next question on page 12 of the evidence reads: "(Q). What did you do with them? A. I got six more from Joseph Campbell the same day and went to Cardigan." Now. doctor. if he did get any from you, did you give him any for election purposes? A. - No.

Q. - on page 13 of the evidence. I quote ”Q.) Regarding these cheques - was there any money you received over and above what was due the fishermen, sl,00i). and 3600. cheques? (A.) That all went out the same way. It all bought liquor -- if not rum it was moon- shine-and it was put out for the purpose I was told to get it for. (Q.) Told by whom? (A.) Our Do- minion member, Dr. Grant." Did you ever tell him to get any liquor? A. -- Absolutely no. That's all false.

Q. On page 11 of the Wetter- worth evidence it says: "(Q.) What date was that? A. -- Day before the election. 10th December. (Q.) when did you last see Dr. Grant with reference to election days (A.) The last I saw Dr. Grant was the morning about 11 o'clock on December llth. He came to see me." Did you go to see him on election day? A. - That was with reference to the election before. I never went to see him or went near him this election at all.

Q. - Further on page 17 of the evidence, I quote: "(Q.) was that the day. you saw Dr. Grant? (A.) Yes. December 10. after I had been to Charlottetown. (Q.) He came to your office? (A.) Yes, and wanted to know if I would use my car the next day. I told him the car was broke. I would do my business at the plant. but' I could not drive my car. (Q) What about the amount of money? (A.) That was the occasion I told Dr. Grant when he asked me how I was fixed. I said if have 3250! He said toot it out'. I said Give me some tickets then! That was the last conver- 3lt10n- (0.) Any more conversa- tion after that? M.) No more. (Q.) Or about l"lshermen's Loan Board? (A.) No. never contacted Dr. Grant after that for anything about Fisherman's Loan Board." What about that. Dr. Grant? A.- That's false.

Refused Requests

Q. - Is that true - he never contacted you after that? A. - When the rumor got around that Watterworth was keeping monev out of loans or part of it. one fel- low came in and said to me "You must have influence in getting it". and then another man spoke to me and he came in a day or so after with five boys with applica- tions, and I said "Boys. I can”: sign any more." "I can't sign them." 1 was going to Charlotte- town on the train. and those five boys were also on the train.

Q. - who were some of them? A. - I can't temembsr .. there were five of them on the train and they came out where I was and asked me again to sign them, and I said "No. I can't sign any more” Mr. watterworth went into town that day and got the H.000. I saw in Charlottetown where his name was on them.

Q, A. on page I9 of the Watta- woi-th evidence: - "tQ.) I gather

that during the fall of IN? your

association was pretty close with Dr. Grant? (A.) Very class. (Q.) II it right. Dr. Grunt appmvad moat of the applications that went through at that period? (A.) B0 approved most of the appllcatl . Is that correct, Dr. Grant? A. - That's not correct.

Q. - And your association with him was not very cloao? A. - No. Q. - Further on In the ovul- ence: "(Q.) It would be Ioollan- nesa to go to anybody also when you had the most influential per- son in the County to put his name on the application; IA.) He told me to come to him." Did you ova: tell him to arms Application: to you, Dr. Grant? A. - That's false. I never told hlin to come to me.

Q. - Further on page 21 of lb! evidence. I quote: "tQ.) Dr. Grant's name does not appear on any of those? (A.) Dr. Gra.nt.- had nothing to do -with any of those? certainly he did. He said to get them." Did you say that? A. - No. that's false.

Further Statement! Denied

Q. -- Page 20: "The six your fishing experience? (A.) That was up to him. (Q) You knew he had no six years' fishing experience? M.) So would Dr. Grant. (Q.) Dr. Grant had nothing to do with it? (A.) I was acting under instruc- tions from Dr. Grant." Is that true. Doctor Grant? A. -- That's all false. I never issued any Instruc- tions either with regard to the Flsl'iermen's loan Board or the election.

Q, .. Page 20 reads: "(A). There was a bunch waiting. Dr. Grant told me to get the money out." Is that correct? A. - That-'8 false.

Q.-Any oi the applications that you did sign you understood that the man was going fishing, whe- there he had been a fisherman or not? A. - I would sign for a fel- low on the general principle that he wanted to go fishing.

Q. As a general rule Watterworth told you they were buying nets for him? A. - They told me them- selves that Watterworth was get- ting their nets for them and that they had no money. They all told me that. He was in that business- su-ppiylng nets. I understood he was, anyway.
