(Continued from hge 1)

A. A. Henneescy, (foreman) John P. simms. Raoul LePage, James Brown, Peter Mc.Dona.ld, 1-1. L. sear and Walter E. Burke.

The following is a short summer? of the evidence taken at last night’: inquest: .

James Mclcod. the first witness. told that he is an employee at De- Blois Bros. He was on the fourth floor when the accident occurred. He and Mr. Leclair of the R. C. M. P. had gone up a few minutes before on the elevator. He heard someone lowering the lift and when he fin- ished his business with Mr. Leclair he went to the shaft to take the elevator up to that floor to take them down. Before starting it he looked down the shaft to see if all was clear and saw Mr. M.acGregor across the gate. The witnem. im- mediately ran down the stairs to get a. hammer to release the automatic broke in order to remove the body. Before he returned, however, the body had been released by pulling the gate out. Mr. MacGregor had been running the elevator for five or six years. He had been employed with the firm since early in May this year. The deceased was sober. the witness said.

In the witneas’s opinion the de-

ceased thcught the elevator was down and was looking for it to come up. The elevator is inspected each year by men from the malniarid, he said. Rodclph Leclair, special R.C.M.P. constable, told of being with Mc- Leod on the fourth floor. He rush- ed downstairs io the third floor when he found the man was caught and released him by pulling out the gate. I-Ie carried the victim back a few paces and placed him or-,the floor. Life seemed extinct, in the opinion of the witness.

P‘:-ederick McKeamey, shipping clerk. told of working with Mac- Gregor, assisting him in taking empty lobster cases down from the third floor and loading them at the back door of the building. The wit- ness was wheeling the cases from the back of the building to the ele- vator and MncGregor was taking them down. He had taken several loads down before the accident. The first the witness knew of the ac- cident was when Mr. McLeod came rushing down the stairs saying somco was caught. He told the witness to go downstairs and phone for a doctor. The witnem did so and did not go near the elevator then and did not see the body until later. The witness did not hear any sound of the accident.

Mrs. Violet Boianer, niece of the deceased. said he boarded at,her house. She had not seen him be- fore he went to work yesterday. He left before seven o'clock. He seemed in good health. she said.

Dr. Yeo told the jury_ that the man must have been instantly killed Judging from his injuries. His spine had been dislocated and several of the vertebrae broken as well as other injuries.

‘ Arrest of Charles ; Neily Ends Three- day Search Through The Maritimes.

(C. P. By Guardian's Special wire)

HAMPTON, N. 13., June 16-— Charles Lambert Nelly, 23. of Ayles- ford. N. I-l., was arrested late this afternoon on authority of a war- rant charging him with attempted robbery while armed at Moncton last Saturday night.

Acting on a tip telephoned by a. farmhand, police comered Nelly as he crouched in the loft of a barn less than three miles from Hamp- ton. He was soaked to the skin and near the point of exhaustion after plunging through rain-drenched thickets to elude police, who had thrown a net around the Hampton district. He did not resist arrest.

"Come down, Nelly, acting Lance Corporal E. J. Sturgeon of the Bus- sex R. C. M. P. detachment called to him, “and come down with your hands up. I've got you covered."

The crouching figure in the dim hayloft rose. Nelly swung himself down a ladder and stood with hands above his head before sturgeon and other oflicers. The tall, powerfully built youth carried an immigration passport stating he is a. farmer. He had been living in Moncton for two weeks.
