UNDEII IAKII IMIIALMII Cbuiotiotmvn and

The preliminary hearing of 001-- don Carr, Victoria, charged with manslivughter ,. ” yesterday morning before stipendiary Magis- trate ailbert A. Gaudet and was continued until 5 p. m., when an adjournment was ordered until 4 p. in. on July 26th.

Mr somerled Trainor of the firm of MacPhee and Trainer appeared for the accused and Mr. John P. Nicholson appeared for the Crown. The charge arose out of the death of Ellsworth Ferguson, son of "Mr. and Mrs, warren Ferguson of Cra- paud who was struck and almost instantly killed at 12:30 on the morning of June 25, last, by a truck driven by the accused.

At the morning session the evi- dence of Cons. D. W. Thorsten and Cpl. A. L. Johnston of the R. C. M. P. was given, dealing with mea- surements indicating the relative positions of three cars in close proximity to the accident and the location of the truck involved after it had traversed a. delineated dis- tance immedlately before and dir- ectly beyond the spot where the deceased is said to have been struck. A number of photographs were exhibited showing the cars involved with the truck ditched and overturned on the side of the highway in conformity with.the evidence as to the direction being travelled.

Evidence given at the afternoon session showed that two cars were parked on the right side of the highway close together,baok to back, while a. third car was parked on the left side close by. The situ- ation arose over a tire change be- ing necessary on the Ferguson car.

Earl Francis' Evidence

Earl Francis gave evidence that he was hailed by Ferguson and asked for the loan of a Jack, which he removed from his trunk. Two of Francis' car wheels were on pave- ment and two on gravel. Witness saw another car coming from the direction he came from. Car was driven by Mr. Holmes who stopped and gave him jack. Holmes drove to other side of road got out of car, Hol.me.s' wheels were all on the pavement not over three feet from Flrkuson car. Witness held flash- light on the jack and car was half jacked when truck came along. He heard noise as if he had struck other car. Up to the time witness law the truck.Ferguson was work- ing at. jack, stooped over; he was changing the right rear tire.

"I did not see what happened Ferguson," he testified. "The truck passed along after striking and went into ditch. Heard no horn blowing or car noise. I saw Gordon Carr 10 or 15 minutes after. Hol- mes went for doctor; Carr sat on bumper of one of the cars which came along after it. happened. I was there when the R. C. M. P arrived."

"When shown a plan of the scene, witness said the cars had not been moved after the accident and before the R. C. M. P. arrived, .nor had the body been moved. He was present. when Dr. Bovyer ex- amined the body and when Cor- oner Dr. L. E. Prowse arrived. Wea- ther conditions were good. The wheel being replaced was still on the car when the accident occurr- ed. After the accident he saw Carr walk across the road; he appeared to be all right.

Back of the iintty moves is a realization that it hard campaign against Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower lies ahead. Eisenhower has his friends in the south and Democrats are aware of the im- portance of heading off another party bolt like the one that cost President Truman four states.

Text of Address

"Reverend Dr. Ashford and Mrs. Ashford:

"We, the congregation of Trinity Church, realizing that this is the last occasion, with the exception of the Church services next. Bun- day, that you will be with us as our pastor, feel our hearts deeply stirred. We think with pleasure of the last. three years, as you have led us in the affairs of our Church, but we sincerely regret that this happy relation is so soon to term- lnate.

"When almost fou.r years ago you came here with the cavalcade and preached, some of our leaders rec- ognized the fact that you would render excellent service as our guide in spiritual affairs. Your record its a missionary in the home field and in the foreign field, your record as a chaplain with the Air Force, your record as a. Superintendent of Missions for the United Church in Western Canada, all led us to ex- pect great things of you. and in those expectations we have not been disappointed. When a year later you were inducted into this past- torai charge, your forceful and en- gaging personality became at once apparent.

"Anyone who looks over our church property today, and com- pares it with what it was four years ago, will see everywhere it part of a monument to you and to your work. Today we have :1 church manse of which we need be in no way ashamed. Our ministers have studies or offices that we feel are second to none. Even the grounds about the manae have been improved by the labour of both yourself and Mrs. Ashford. Ap- preaching the Church from Prince Street we are impressed by the improvement made by the new steps and entrances. Our organist has a studio which any musician might envy. Inside the Church it- self the brightened walls and cell- ing, the rich carpets of the aisles and pulpit; platform all remind us of your untiring effort to have this Sanctuary a fitting place for the services of worship. The beauty of the Lords House is a meaningiiil phrase as we look about.
