Lieut. Burke Leads; Qanadian Marksman

(Canadian Press) BlBl-EY CAMP. July 12. — Liellt. Desmond Burke of Ottawa, former‘ Kings Prize winner, and Majorjl‘. Richardson of Victoria, led the 18 Canadian marksmen competing in the Prince of Wales and North-v land Service Rifle Competition at Bisley this afternoon. Each scored 86 out of a possible '70.

Three more Canadians had scores of 64—-Sergt. W. M. Reid and Q. M.S. Enlslie of Toronto and O. Q. M.8. Stevenson of Montreal.

His right hand gave out today while ho was firing so he retired.

Tears 0t Farmers or Crocodile Variety

DETROIT, Mich., July 12.--Wll- lianl Johnson, editor of Farm Life, believes that tears of farmers for relief are of the crocodile variety based lnore on a desire for added ""'lll‘lBS than for economic necess- itles.

Addressing the convention oi World Advertisers here, Mr. John- son said real economic distress ex- isted in cities where there is a marked absence of “croaking" for Federal aid.

“Farming may produce no mil- lionaires," he said, "but it has n0 breadiines, no flophouses, no pitlable wretohes living on charitable nick- les and dimes.

"Agriculture has been drearlly pictured a. scene of mllrk and hope- lessness. As a matter of fact the modern farm would be an agri- cultural heaven to grand-dad. Con- trast the drudgery of 20 years with the model-n sort lighted alld bright- ened by power machinery, radios, automobiles, and other things.

“Probably the new generation will be hard up for the price °l aeroplanes."

The three Mclteods and McKinnoll stand charged with receiving stolen goods; Theaccused will ‘appear-fin court July l8.

Under the grilling examination t0 which they have been submitte’ b)’ detectives since they were arrested none admitted participation in the armed descent on ,the helpless N. R. car although Sullivan is sald by police to have been identified as me of the gunmen who shoved a sawed-off shotgun in the faces of

memorable night, and McKibbon, is laid to have been identified as llav- ing been seen on the station plat- form while the big robbery was be- ing “pulled? '

Police have positive identification of a third man, whose name they are withholding but they are ham-

“ pered in their chase of the bandit leader, the man who it is claimed»

was brought in to direct the opera-Y tion of a long planned job because‘ of the fact that to date he has nev- er been photographed and has suc- cessfully eluded capture on all his numerous crimes, save a bootlegging charge.

Morning Session

At yesterday morning's session. the case of the King vs.‘ Clarence Power. indicted for perjury was brought to a close. the jury finding the prisoner guilty with a strong recommendation of mercy.

His Lordship. Chief Justice Ma- thleson in his charge to the Jury, after instructing them that it was his province to point out to tllem tile principles of .the law. theirs to deal with the facts, of which tlley were the unqualified iudges went on to say that the charge in this case is perjury. This the law defines as all assertion as to matters of fact, opinion. belief or knowledge made by a witness in a judicial proceeding as part of ills evidence on oath, on examination, whether such evidence is given in open court, or by affidavit, or other- wise, and whether such evidence ls material or not, sucll assertion be- illg known to such witness to be false and intended by him to mis- lead the court, jury or person hold- ing the proceedings.

His Lordship then proceeded to read the offence, as defined in the bill oi indictment.

In thisvspecific mane, the. perjury was not by oath in court but by af- fidavlt.

His Lordship then went- on to re- yview briefly the evidence. Both brothers were arrested and taken to prison. They were tried before the Stipendiary Magistrate by their own consent. On that trial, Walter Power was convicted oi robbery with viol- cnce, the charge against‘ tllc pl-ls- .oner now in the clock being dismis-

clerks, Farrow and Allan. 0K1 l-lle sad

Walter Power wllo was sentenced w two years in the Penitentiary then lllllllied to the court of crilninal ap- peal of_ this province for leave to appeal against the sentence, and one of the documents filed in the course of the proceedings was this affidavit of Clarence Power, upon which the present charge of pgr- jury was laid.

He pointed out that when Clar- ence Power made this affidavit, he hell already been acquitted, and couldt not be tried again for the same offence.

His Lordship then read the affi- davit. which went to show that Walter Power was innocent, and that it was Clarence who had com- mitted the robbery with vlojencej In making that statement in his? affidavit, after being discharged by‘ the Magistrate, he ran no personal risk. Tile whole purpose of that af- fidavit would be to shift the guilt fronl Walter, who was under penal- ty, to tile prisoner in tile dock, who could not be punished because he was already free.

His Lordship next went on to re- fer to the evidence of Birtwistle, a portion oi which was rend,

m5 wldllhlll tllen went on io point out that in effect Clarence

Power swore before tile Btipendiary

Magistrate that he and his brother Walter were together, and had nev- 8|‘ separated during tile time that this asault anwrobbery are snag. ed to have taken place; and that, the prisoner never saw Hearn at all. This is in direct contradiction to the evidence given in the affi- davit.

, '1'his llowevet, is not sufficient to establish perjury. It is not a neces- sary consequence. that a person on two different. occasions has sworn to two conflicting statements, so that the mere fact‘ that a person swore to one t g at one time and another at another is not sufficient to convict ‘him. of perjury where no other evidence is adduced to show which is true. Mid-which is false, In. this case there are two oppos- ing oaths and it is necessary to search the evilleme therefore, rol- somethingJo turn the scale.

Clarence accounts for, this by saying that he was in the. custody of Officer Doyle and that he, along that same block, had tak- en money out of his pocket and dropped it on the sidewalk. His Lordship then commented on the evidence given by Mrs. Byers and others. Aliuding to the fact that she could not tell how often her home had been raided, and had appeared twice before in alibis of the same character. It was for the jury to weigh this evidence and to determine its value. '

If they re- quired to go over any of the notes of evidence, these would be supplied them.
