THE GUARDIAN.

Four true bills were found yester- day by the Grand Jury on the four indictments with which they were presented as the supreme Court held its Queens County January sit- tings. Two of the indictments were for rape. one for driving to the com- mon danger and one for possession of an offensive w ..

In the case of manslaughter. charged against Robert Rackham. arising out of a truck-train col- lision on June 'I last. the Grand Jury returned to the courtroom to ask if the charge could be reduc- ed. This was agreed to and a. charge of driving to the common danger was added to the indictment. The Grand Jury then found no true bill on the manslaughter charge but did return one on the lesser count.

The two indictments for rape were on charges against Elinor Wil- fred Feehan. Mount Stewart. amt Edward Francis Fall, of this city. They arose out of an incident in- solving a 15,-year-old girl whom

they are both accused of criminally attacking. In the case of Fall he appeared in Court not represented by counsel. when asked by pre- siding Justice M. R. McGuigan if he wished to be, he replied in the affirmative. Mr. Justice McGuIgan then appointed Mr. Allison Gillis as his counsel.

A true bill was also found on the indictment charging I-iensin Gav. I-iazelbrook. with possession of an offensive weapon.

Addresses Grand Jury

In his opening address to the Grand Jury the Justice told them. "You have been summoned by the sheriff to attend this term of the Supreme Court for Queens County as grand jurors. It is an honor to serve on the grand jury and it is also a duty - one of the duties of citizenship.

"The great object on the instit- ution of the Grand Jury was to prevent persons being called on to answer alleged crimes without rea- scnabic grounds for an action.

The proceedings of the Grand Jury are conducted in private so that an accused or suspected per- son may not. without reasonable proof of guilt. suffer the mortifie- rtiun of a public trial. As one antit- ority said. "The intervention of the Grand Jury between the crime and the subject seems to be a protec- tron to the subject which must be jealously guarded”.

Mr. Justice McGuigan then wetit on to tell the jurors of what their duties consist. Speaking about the tape indictments he briefly de- scribed how the incident occurred. He also told the jurors of the rianslaughter case when the truck driven by Robert Rackham. Wheat- ley River, struck a C. N.R. freight train at the Winsloe Crossing. Wendell Johnstone. Brookfleld, ll passenger in the truck was in- siantly killed.

The presiding jurist related the various degrees of homicide. He said the charge made was a seri- ous one involving criminal negli- gence. He said in civil damage cases only a small degree of neg- ligence was needed to make it case but in criminal cases the negligence must be so great as to amount to disregard for the life of others.

Heiwarned the jurors that in all indictments they were not hear- itig a trial. They were simply to determine if there was sufficient evidence against the various ac- cused to send them for trial before a petlt jury.

A. . ignmenis Today

All the accused will be arraigned in Supreme Court this afternoon. Members of the panel of petit Jurors were ordered to report in court Monday morning and it is expected that the triais will get underway immediately thereafter.

During the course of his original address to the Grand Jury Mr. Justice McGulgan also told them that their duties included inspect- ing public buildings such as Fal- cenwood Hospital. Queens County Jail, the Infirmary and Beach Grove Inn and to report on condi- tions they found and make any necessary recommendations. He also read. a report from Sheriff John Benton which showed that there are presently 23 prisoners confined in the County Jail. Since June 1. and until January 1 of this year. there have been 271 prison- ers confined there snd the Justice commented that the majority were there fore offenses connected with liquor.

When the Grand Jury left to in- terrogate the various witnesses in the Grand Jury Room. the Court then tooktup other cases on the docket. They were four appeal cases end two non-jury civil cases.

but there was a good chance of a settlement being reached to avoid the necessity of his return from Toronto. Counsel for the defend- ant is Mr. H. F. McPhee. KC.

The other non-jury civil case arose from damages to I motor ve- hicle. James A. Lund. the plaint- iff. was represented by Mr: Mae- Donald, while the defendants. Earl Clinton and Ernest E. Duffy. were represented by Mr. R. E. Bell. K.C. The case was set down at the foot of the docket for hearing later during the sittings.

In the appeal of Ernest Duffy from a conviction before stipend- iary Magistrate Martin on II charge of drunken driving, it was stated that appellant had pleaded guilty in the lower court. However. his of- fence was committed a day after a new provision was written into the Criminal Code. As a result the Court reduced the sentence to a fine of 050 or one month in jail.

The appeal of William Alfred Lannon from a conviction before stipendiary Magistrate Gaudet un- der the Excise Act was dismissed with no costs. It consisted mainly of a plea for the appellant to be allowed to defer serving a six months sentence in view of family conditions. By agreement of coun- st-l the Court permitted a defer- mont of one month.

The two appeals of William Munn were allowed with no costs. They at-re both from convictions before Sllpendiary Magistrait Martin. one for vagrancy and the other for damage to property.

In all four appeals Mr. J.P. Nicholson represented the Crown rrvd Mr. L.P. O'Donnell the ap-

slon Mr. J. O. C. Campbell appear- ed for the Crown. while Attorney General Walter E. Darby appeared in the afternoon. I

The Court adjourned until this morning at ll o'clock.
