centre line. He introduced in evi- dence photos of the scene showins the location of the vehicles in- voived. Sgt. Johnston described the road and said the straight stretch on which the accident happened esma following a curve and a steep rise when coming towards the city. He had prepared a scale plan of the area which he produced and explained in detail. He ‘also said that the driver of the Army truck was on the scene all through the investigation and afterwards until the vehicle was moved.

(‘roar examined by Mr. Large regarding the-position on the road of the dirt previously mentioned he said none of it was under the truck. and it apparently came from the Ford. He stated the scene was approximately 510 feet from the curve from a hollow up ii hill of about 60 feet elevation. He said the Behm car had a sealed beam headlight. not origin- ai equipment. which generally are much brighter than ordinary lights.

He testified that the left front humper of the truck was bent back. At this point Mr. Nichol- son entered an objection to testi- mony regarding lights and bump- er as witness was not an expert on these matters. The objection was sustained. On further questioning 5st. .lohnston said he had served ivcrsi-as in the last war and was familiar with driving the O0's. Re- iiaiding their speed he stated the ones he drove were difficult to I?‘ over 50 miles per hour. but said there may have been mntor rhanges in newer models.~

Stayed Half An Hour

Frederick Nicholson, Kilmuir, farmer. said he was around his farm the day of the accident and in Army truck drove in with two men in it. He was introduced to the rii-iver and had a couple of drinks. The visitors stayed about. half an hour and left in the di- rection of Montague. The driver had no difficulty handling thc lTiii‘I(.

last war, but said his face was all changed since the accident. He did not know how fast the truélr was going but his car. he thought, was going "considerably over 40." He was briefly cross examined as to a statement about seeing dust rising from the Ford.

Mr. Gordon Macbeod, driver of

the car. said he was travelling about 50 mph. when the truck first passed him. He tried to pre- vent it passing the second time by speeding up. but the truck went by anyway. Mr. Sam MacLeod. Uigg, said he had known the suppliant for a long time and his appearance had changed a. great deal since the collision. He had heard the truck blow “for the road" and knew it was trying to pass. He was not aware of an increase in speed of their car.

During both direct and cross ex- amination of the witnesses Judge Fournier frequently broke in with question.s'of his own or to have different points clarified.

Doctor’: Testimony

Earlier in the morning the Court had heard the brief testimony of Dr. I, A. Rachmel. who treated the injured man in the P. E. I. Hospi- tal, and Major J.T. Davies who told the Court he had some know- ledge of Army vehicles as he was covering of! a vacancy for a mech- anical engineer. He gave the di- mensions of a 00 as a wheelbase of 150%. inches and an overall length of 20 feet. 6 inches. He said the width at the rear of the box was seven feet two inches.

Mr. John Macfieath, Grandvlew. farmer and mail driver. said he knew the victim and saw him of- -ten but did not recognize him when he first came home from the hospital. His face had changed.

Dr. Wendall MacDonald, char- lottetown. radiologist. testified that he had made several x-rays of Mr. Bi.-hm. Following the accident he did some x-ray work, but though the patient had had some first aid treatment he was not in as good condition as could be wished for x-ray work.

He produced in court the x-ray plates he had made showing views from front to back and from the side. He said they showed frac- ture of the nasal bones and the face about the nose appeared to have been pushed back by force. He said he had frequently taken x-rays of the patient involving his spine. stomach "and practically everything else but his head."

Called to the stand Mrs. Behm, wife of the auppliant. said the photo of her husband in evidence had been taken in Quebec City while he was on leave with his family. He was then stationed in Newfoundland. She said there was no material change in his appear- ance from the time of the picture until September 1953. but his face had chanted after the accident.

Mr. Eaton objected to introduc- tion of the photo as he said it was too old. Judge rburnier overruled the objection as he said though it was not the best evidence due to the lapse of years it still might help him in forming an opinion.

Previous Operations

Mr. Eaton questioned the wit. ncss about previous operations Mn Behm had had and about the am- ount of work he had d he on the farm‘ after them. Mrs. ehm could not remember when hired help had been employed to run the farm.

Mr. Behm was the final witness for his case and said he had farm-

He said his car was working good the day of the accident. Just prior to coming to Cannons Cor- ner he stopped the car to light a cigarette. He always did this when driving alone at night. He noticed a First Aid Post sign as he parked and put on his dim lights.

As he started the car again he noticed car lights ahead when he shifted into second gear. Did not remember very much about accl- dent itself. He said he receives a pension as a result of war services and also one under war veterans’ allowances. He had been told his car could not be fixed.

The witness was cross examined by Mr. Eaton as to previous iii- nesses and his inability to work following them. He had been be- fore the Pension Board when he had arthritis.

Crown Witness

First witness for the Crown, and the only one heard yesterday, was W02 Gallant, driver of the Army vehlcle_ -He said he drove them as part of his duty and had 12 years cxpcrieiice. The one he was driving at the time of the collision was a right hand drive machine.

That day he had been ordered by the Quartermaster to go to Montague and pick up some stores. He left the city about two o'clock that afternoon and arrived some time after three when he proceed- ed to- the caretakers residence and went with him to the Armouries. He loaded the stores and drove down town where he picked up ari- other man and drove to a farm- house where he bought two bags of potatoes. Afterwards he went back to Montague and had supper before leaving on return to the city.

Mr. Gallant said he was driving between 35 and 40 with a small flow of traffic on the road. His truck was operating slow on the Mt. Mcllick hill; at the brow he saw a car coming but he lost the lights on the turn and “hen he saw the car it. was on the straight- away and moving. He stated he was blinded by the bright lights.

He said he did not anticipate an accident, but when it happen- ed he was the first one nt thc oth- er car to help. Then otlicrs came to help. He told the damage to the 60 and said there could be no dirt falling from the truck as it had just been serviced to go to Halifax.

He said driving conditions were good at the time of the accident and that he was soocr. His brakes were good. but there was no white line on the road at that time,

W02 Gallant will be cross exam- ined this morning. Another wit- ness for the Crown will be Major T_ Bromage, of Eastcrn Command Headquarters._Halliax. Court will
