Supreme Court here yesterday af- ter a Jury deliberated only a ihCrL time. Keefe would be sentenced Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. Mr. Justice A. C. Saunders pre- siding judge at the trial said.

A Jury after more than an hour's deliberation found him sane and a new jury was sworn in yesterday morning to try the attempted rape‘ charge.

Ditch year the Ladies’ Musical Club has presented w local audi- ences lm ou g artist. This year they have brought, as before, a Canadian-hem performer —on this occasion. Arthur leBlenc, a native of Moncton. New Brunswick. Mr. Liefilanc in many ways was as satisfying as any Canadian musician we have heard here. Canada has produced many vir- tuoso viollnists of the first rank. notably Katherine Parlow, but one may safely predict Mr. LoBlam may in tile future surpass them all. A pupil of man

excellent teachers, especially o the greet French vio nist, Thibaud, his

playing is of that rare and preci- ous quality one might expect from such a teacher. His superb technique is distinguished by ex- cellent intonation and delicate alluding. His tone is not a large one, ' ut it is always warm and sat- isfying. His interpretative ability is unusual in one so young, per- haps the only fault being a tend- ency to drag the tempo at times. Mr LeBlanc, unlike so many vloiinists, must be congratulated nn his finely chosen programme. It was truly re-presenta ive of the clmsical and romantic composers. True feeling for the classic style was shown in his playing of the superb Chaconne of the old Italian Vltali and the two Preludes of the incomparable Bach. The Rondo of Mozart. though not typical of his style. was played with spirit. the playing of the Cadenza being ions of the high spots of the even- 11R.

Tile important work, as to length, of the programme was the ever popular Concerto in E. Minor. This tuneful work, the greatest instrumental composition of Fielix Mendellsohn, was given adequate treatment in each of its three movements. the rhythmic pace of the last movement being especially good.

Mr. LeBlancs final group dis- played to advanta e his technical ability and especia y his power to give freshness to more or less

llackrleyed compositions Most pleasing to the audience were Francoeurfls "Blcilierlne et Rigau-

don" as arranged by Fritz Kreisler. the mellCw “Tango" of Albeniz. and two of the encores, also of Kreisler. the "Tamburin CIhInois" and “Caprice Viennols."

Mr. LleBlarlc was ably assisted at the piano by Miss Mary Eliza- beth Bell. L.R S.M., of the Mt. Allison Conservatory of Music. who showed excellent response to Mr. LeBlahds every mood, - though lack of a suitable piano created at times a noticeable lack of balance.

There was a large attendance at the concert, which was under the patronage of Lieut. Governor Dc-Bluis and Mrs. DeBlois, Premier Cami-hell and Mrs. Campbell. and His V"~-"*'* Mayor Foster and Mrs. Foster.
