At Prelimina

The preliminary hearing oi Har- ry Wendell McGee, charged with breaking and entry and commit- ting the indictable offence of theft commenced yesterday morning be- fore Magistrate K. M. Martin. The case arose out of a theft which occurred at the store of T. L. Smith at the corner of Sydney and Cumberland Streets, July 1st. At one point in the .oceedings the counsel for the rown indicated that he had evidence to present regarding conditions at Queens County Jail, to which the magist- rate replied that it should be held until later

J. P. Nicholson appeared for the Crown and R. R. Bell, 0. C. for the defence. The accused, through his counsel. had previously plead- ed not guilty and elected trial in the Supreme Court, should the evidence produced be sufficient to warrant. The session was taken up principally with the fingerprint evidence produced by Cst. Gordon Humphrey, B..C.M.P. in charge of the Identification Section of the Island Division.
