Appeal Heard in liquor Case in Supreme Court

A conviction in the lower oourts on an Excise Act charge against Ernest Edward Duffy. Bunbury. was sustained by Mr. Justice George J. Tweedy in Supreme Court yesterday. Following the Judgment an appeal against ll conviction on a Temperance Act charge arising from the same cir- cumstances was withdrawn by Mr. Allison M. Gillis. appearing for one appellant. In all cases before this term of the Court Mr. J. P. Nicholson. Crown Prosecutor, is appearing for the Crown.

When Court opened yesterday Judge Tweedy asked if it were the intention of the interested parties to take the evidence of the lower court. Mr. Gillis said no, as it was desired to have the evidence given anew. in effect causing a new trial,

The first witnex called yesterday W35 CD1. A. M. Johnson. R.CM.P, who identified several photographs he had taken at the time of the police raid on the home of the appellant. Taken from various an- tics and at varying distances. they showed the general layout of the farm property and the relation of the different buildings to each other.

Sfsgt. Douglas George. R.C.M.P.. told of arriving by car at the Duffy place in company with other mem. bers of the -Force. Th-ey had searched the house and then gone outside. In a small outbuilding he found a gallon bottle which he said contained moonshine. In the well-house he found another gal- lon Jar of the illegal liquor. In various other places he had un- covered several pint bottles of it.

In a third building on a scar. f01di!18 which served as a loft he located two burlap sacks which contained a connecting nut for 9,

worm; pressure tanks and gas burners. At. a corner between two buildings he saw a group of green drums. One was burned out and another had the bottom charred and he said it smelled as though it had been used in the distillation of spirits.

Nearby he noticed a pile of 01.1 lumber. He searched through this

am fmmd a large (luantity of moonshine in. various typeg of bottles. Later he found a large

worm and said that all the parts located fitted together to make a complete still.

Cross Examined

llnder cross examination by Mr, Gillis he admitted the Police had never had occasion before to raid Duffy.

Cpl. Peter Jay. R.C.M.P, tom of being on the raid and in general corroborated the testimony of Sfsizt. George. He also told the Court that the moonshine seized had tested 106.1 proof and admit- ted that never before in his long experience had he seized any shine testing so high.

Mr. Gillis suggested that to make shine of such high content and so perfectly clear would take a man of considerable experience in the trade. Cpl. Jay was inclined to believe it was more likely to be the work of an amateur as he did not believe a iprofessional' would make it so strong. However. he suggested that the strength was more dependent on the materials the manufacturer put into the product and the fact that it had probably been ”run through" twice.

The still consisted of a large steel drum with an approximately

20 foot copper worm'coil. Pieces of it were found all over the farmyard and in the several buildings.

Cpl. Jay in describing the phys- ical aspects of the farm spoke of a nearby road running down tr. the shore and said there were some fishing shacks there. The pictures taken by Cpl. Johnson were used to identify the various farm buildings for the benefit of the Court and Judge Tweedy ask- ed frequent questions regarding

. Appellant's Testimony

Mr. Gillla then called the appel- lant to the stand. He said he lived in Bunbury in the house where he was born and lived most of his life. He and his brother owned the surrounding farm but a few years ago they sold it to the late Willard Kelly. retaining only two acres about three-quarters of it mile from the house.

Hc stated that at the time he sold the farm Mr. Kelly had asked

CHARLOTTETOWN

-"EF.

him to continue living in the house in order to keep an eye on things. However. the wltnea stated he did not wish to accept the re- sponsibility and had insisted on paying rent.

Mr. Duffy stated that the farm owner and his hired help controll- ed the outbuildings and did all the farming on the land. He did none of it himself. However. on occa- sions he had visited the well house when a storm or other cause might prevent one of the Kellys from getting to the farm to start the pump which is turn fined it 1.000 gallon water tank in the basement of the house.

This water served to supply the house through ordinary sink fauc- ets and also was piped to the barn to water the cattle. The hired hands of the Kellys looked after the cattle and property as appellant owned nothing outside the house. At the time of the police raid last October there were three hired hands.

The witness flatly denied own- ership of the still: he had never had possession of it and had never made moonshine in his life. For the past two months he has been living in the city and working as a longshoreman. Formerly he had worked as a carpenter and gave a list of his employers last summer and fall

He said the road from his house to the share was a public road and had upwards of 10 buildings on it. Some, he thought. were used for summer cottages, He said he could not see any of the court ex- hiblt.s from his house and main- tained he knew nothing about them. He stated he lied seen people from the shack; hanging around the farmyard.

Cross examined by Mr. Nichol- son hc said he had nothing to do with the buildings since he came back from overseas. He had never seen a still set up there and said he knew nothing about it He "had his doubts" that a still had ever been set up and moonslilne made on the farm. Asked if he had not seen spots where head had left a mark on the ground he admitted that they had been pointed out to him by the Mounties.

Mr. Nicholson also made mention of a discovery by the police of a barn containing hay in which the outlines of where three barrel: had been pressed in were easily dis- cernible. Three similarly sized bar- rels were also found on the farm.

In his summation Mr. Gillis based his argument on the theory of exclusive possession. He main- tained that when there were parts of the still scattered all over he Kelly barnyard there ccould be no exclusive control by the appellant even though he might. know of the existence of the still there was nothing to connect him with it. Mere knowledge did no imply pos- session and he cited various cases tried in other Provinces in which exclusive control was the basis of the defense.

Mr. Nicholson oould riot agree that it probably was one of the farm hands who operated the still as he said no employee would be allowed sufficient unexplained time off from his duties to set up a still and run off the great quantity of moonshine which had been found in. the different. iiidliig places. While conceding that it might be possible for the Duffy family not to know of shine hidden in barns which were not theirs he insisted it would have been impossible for them not to have known of moon- shine in their own woodhouse.

He agreed that a reasonable ex- planation could be sufficient to obtain an acquittal, but maintain- ed that a mere dcniel of know- ledge was not enough. Judge Tweedy expressed agreement with this and sustained the conviction.

When the Temperance Act ap- peal was called Mr. Giilis stated that in vlevv of the previous find- ing he wished to withdraw the appeal.

Court will resume at 11 o'clock this morniiig.
