Quebec J u d g e Dis- misses C h a r g es Against Maritimers In Liquor Conspir- acy Case.

(C. P. By Guardian’s Special ‘ Wire)

All chargesfagainst more than 40 Maritime Province men and one from British Columbia in connection with a $5,000,000 liquor conspir- acy case were dismissed at preliminary hearing here to- day by Judge Jules Des- marais.

It was the intention oi’

the crown, stated James Crankshaw, special prose- cutor, to press charges

against these men, in their own jurisdictions. Amplify- ing the remark after court closed J. J. Penverne, co- prosecutor with Mr. Crank- shaw, stated the Dominion authorities intended draw- ing up new indictments against the men who would again be arraigned in their own provinces.

Next Stage

It was pointed out by Mr. Pen- vcrne that insofar as these men from outside the province were con- oerned the case was out of the nands of Mr. Crankshaw and himself. Do- minion Counsel in ‘Q1: provinces concerned would handle the next stages.

In the meantime preliminary hearing before Judge Desmarais continued against nine of the ac- cused members of the conspiracy with the crown completing the pros- cntatlon of its evidence today and adjournment taken until Monday. These nine, for whom Mr. Crank- sliaw stated. committal for trial was asked are: Samuel Eronfman, Allan Bronfman, Harry Bronfman and Abraham Bronfman, F. S. Blair, David Oostley, Barney Aaron, all of Montreal. Mrs. Evelyn Carllne and William Yule, Halifax.

Gives Explanation

"To save further expenses both to the Crown and to the accused." Mr. Crankshaw told the court, “and in view of the disputed question u! Jurisdiction. it has been derided not to procged against the accused from Nova. BcotiaLNeu‘ Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. We intend, however, to have them prosecuted

Gunfire from the Government benches in the Legislature yester- day wrousbt such havoc on Oppn- Bmoll flflsouts that before 10.30 last evenins. after Hon. u u. Macnesu, following Mr. B. W. LePage with lacts and figures contrasting the financial records of the two party administrations had concluded a brief but effective speech, there was a manifest desire on the Op- positions part to drop further de- bate on the Budget.

Prewdlng Mr. lrePage, Hon. Thomas lVlacNutt had spoken, an- swering Mr. Lea’; lticisms with regard to agricultural matters. The field, at the conclusion o! Mr. Mac- Leaifs address, was therefore open for a Liberal protagonist. But none seamed anxious to take the floor and the Speaker had prrtctically' putt the question before Hon. (i. Shelton Sharp, Minister ol Public Works, rose to his feet and con- tinued, for another half-hour, the steady Conscrvativg ban-age.

Shortly before 11 p. m. Mr. Sharp, having dealt effectively with road work and Faleonwood Hospital ex- penses under both administrations, and proving substantial Conserva- tive economies from the Public Ac- counts, moved the adjournment. The House then adjourned until 8 p. m. today.
