He felt that the entire case against his client was based on purely circumstant- ial evidence of such a nature that even the prosecution witnesses could not agree. He asked for ac- quittal or MacDonald becaiisc of the lack of anything in the nature of direct evidence.

Prior to his address Mr. J.0.(i. Campbell. Crown prosecutor. sum- med up the case for the state. He .said that circunislantial evldciice l was frequently better cvldciice. than that of a direct type as ctc wit- nesses were not infallible. The Crown prosecutor statcd. quoting from various Cascs. thril circum- stantial evidence was acceptable when there were a iiuinbe-r of co- gent events each i)etu'iiig A tiefiii-i lite relation to R conclusion. lit: at- tacked the rule laid down in l-lodges case that the evideiicc must be of such a iiattirc that ll could load to no other reasonable conclusion than tha: of the giilli lot the accused.

He said of this that in cases of circuntstaiitlal evidence, only lhc. circumstances must. be consistent. with the hypothesis of guilt iii: inconsistent with any other hy- pothesis. But. he aguecf. this was not the case where there was both circumstantial and direct evidciicc. The latter. he said. came into the case in the testimony of Michael Friiiicls MacDonald who told the.

mounted pictures had lines drawn illustrating the points oi'eimilar- liy. Mr. McPhee objected to their intoduction because there were no lilies illustrating the points where they differed. However. Chief Jus- tice Campbell admitted them in evidence because they did permit nf easier comparison. He noted Mr. McPhcc's objection.

Under direct. examination he told of the way the land sloped away from the MacKlnnon house

towards the bank of Little Har- bour. He said there was a flat area of fotir and one-half feet before it sudden drop of 12 to 14 inches and then a steady slope downwards. From the outside, he stated, it was almost necessary to kneel down to look through the hole in the screen and glass made by the bullet.

lie disagrcccl with previous wit- nesses as to whether the hole in the screen was above or below that in the glass and Mr. McPhee re- marked to the Court that this dcnioiistrntcd the extreme fallin- ility or police evidence. Mr. Camp- bell felt that it also illustrated the cxtrcnic care taken by the police not to get "behind the scenes" and discuss the matter among them- sclvcs.

(lrosis Examination

During cross examination by Mr. .VlcPhee the. witness said he had paid no attention to hoof prints in the yard as he knew there were several horses around. .Aaked if there werc scars on the plaster casts which were not. on the boot. 1il'l(I also scars on the boot which dif. iioi appear on the casts. he answer- ed that this was true.

He had used an ordinary type of fmisiiliig plaster for the casts as his supply of title best kind was exliatistcd at the time. He had not used a shellac or powder spray on

the imprint before making the casts. Mr. McPliee suggested that the failure to observe the recog-

nized rules for making casts per- nilttcd the possibility of inaccur- ztclcs in them.

Although the witness had seen scvcral other foot prints on the lRl'lll of St-piimus .IicPhce. he had not iiivcstigtilcd them as no ad- initlcrl he was looking only for a certain type of print.

Other Witnesses King"! County Sheriff Edwin Rf'l(l said that. he had been away front his home on November is and when he returned that even- lmz he found there were a large number of subpoenas to serve. He had started out to serve them and one of them was for Mary Estelle MacKiiuion. When his got to her home Mr. MacKinnon had asked
