In iact, the Premier told us how it was being drunk right in the jail; how these cans were smuggled in and the process they went through in order to distill this liquor. 11m sure it was very interesting to hear the Premier explain how it was done!

But it was aiter this that the prisoners got so drunk that they beat up the jailer; they were "iishlng" irom the win- dows, pulling up teddles and ‘canned heat" and ailkinds oi stufl, as the Premier himseli admitted, and they got intoxicated and qunu lsome. i The junior member ior Bummer- aide (Mr. Allen) tells us that condi- tlcns have been better during the last two weeks.

Did any citizens oi Summersidc have to com- plain oi the conditions in the jail at. that time? PREMIER SAUNDERS: Lots oi them. MR. ARSENAULT: Perhaps the Premier could revise his “coniession" on the conditions in the jail, and add a cnapter 1r the other Government. He ml)’ do that later on.

In - very short time. there was trouole in the man- agement oi that jail. On one occa- sion some prisoners were the jail to work on the road at Le- "nrgeys hill. racy were working on the job ior a iew d"'~ and they started righting. The prisoners them- selves got all out up, and they had to get the Bummersid-e police oiilcers to take them back to jail. That cer- tainly must have been known to the Attorney General. PREMIER SAUNDERS: That is not correct. MB. ARSENAULT: It certainly is correct. (Applause) PREMIER. SAUNDERS: It is all imagination. MR. ARSENAUIJI: They were seen by many who have not got as much imagination as the Premier hlmaelt. (Applause). Those were the condi- tlona- Why did the Premier not an- gage some competent man to take charge oi that institution? He surely must have heard what was going on. He would not require to ‘have ai- tlme in this lnislature. But when iidavita taken; that is a new depart- ‘ ure that we have seen ior the iirst‘ meut is correct, then it was his duty to have informed ib- Attorney Gen- eral oi the iact immediately. Now I will ask the Premier and Attorney ' m from‘ "cueral this question: D" he ever ' advise you oi that isct, at the time? (No answer). A Direct Challenge MR. ARSENAULT: Did the jailer ever communicate with the Depart- ment oi Justice, advising that‘ condl- . lions, when he took charge ci the hi], were such as stated in the de- olaratlon now produced in this Leg- Mature. \ 1 MR. ARSINAUUIH- 0h no. Why? perhaps he bad his own reasona- This jailer states that in pursuance 0i in- iormation received he mm an inves- tigation and round in the prisoners‘ quarters "two containers or cans." He does not snyq how big they were. They certainly were not coal acuttlea, as the other iellcws are using now. They may have been bean or lobster cans. At any rate,_the jailer states that they contained "a quantity oi beer and mash." Now, Mr. Speaker, how could a man go there, and lee two cans, and tell positively that they contained either beer or mash? Any)- one who has visited the jail and seen the prisoners eating-on tho table, on their beds, or by the window sills - would have seen a lot oi cans‘ around the place, containing all sorts oi stun. llow could the jailer tell. aiter a day or so, that it was beer or mash, unless he tasted it or had it analyzed. Was it ever analyzed? (No answer). - MR. AR'~“‘“ \UL'1‘: Ii it was only this hop beer which is manuiactured extensively and sold in every grocery store, just like tea, it was not intox- icating beer at all. Why not have analyzed it and sent in a report to the Department? When he found, as around and ilnd that they are not as ‘ "confession", told us that the jailerl - had recommended, quits a 1mg while i he alleges, that the prisoners were ‘ milking beer he certainly should have lrcported it to the Attorney General. ‘why didn't he? (Applause). Jailer's Statement Analyzed The jailer iurther stated in l1". de- claration that the containers "show- ed cvery indication oi having been in recent use." Ii the beer had only been recently made, and ii he had tccn there two or three days, as he says, it may very well have been made when he was in charge. l guess . tho prisoners saw who was in charge oi them, and they got busy and made some beer as soon as he arrived. (Laughter). But the chrhccs are there was nothing at all—only his imagination. A very curious statement in the laller's declaration was that "only a. nart had been consumed." How can‘ u man take a solemn oath that only 1. part had been consumed when he rlld not sce the amount? A man that will make such an ufilrrnation, or'a fllovernmcnt that will accept such al ‘tatemenl on oath and present it. in‘ 6b“ Imgislature, la taking a great rqaonsibllity. com-surname TACTICS i What else have they got? Tl: ‘ ..ler’s declaration was not suiiiclcn. J they said: “We will get some onc 1n the outside, we will produce an aflldavit irom one oi the prisoners?‘ So they brought that into this House, and my hon. iriend the junior mcm- ‘ber irom Summcrsidc read it and placed it on the table. And really,‘ when I heard t.le name "Louis Gal- who he was. Now l would ask the} irom Would he consult this man Gallant on any small "matter whatsoever in his own business? Would he ask his opinion or advice on anything? Wouldn't my hon. friend shun him as a mun: wouldn't he be ashamed to be seen in his company? This unfortunate be- ing, "Shaky Toad" aa he is called, has been in jail under every Govern- ment; and yet my hon. iriends would stoop to have that man sign a solemn aflqdavit and produce it in this Ilcuse. (Applause). These are the tactica- that have been pursued, and l say’ they are no credit to this or any Gov- ent. There are plenty or decent citizens in Summeraide, and ii there was something wrong with the man- // have round somebody to give ua the ha: story on tbda matter! (ap- plsuaeh. This man Gallant, as I laid beicre, has been in jail underlll Governments, and not only once but as oiten as they see him on the streets. Sometimes the police oiii- oers take pity on him; and they don't put him in when he should be there Now his oath is’ taken to the eiiect that there was some rum smuggled into the jail, that there was beer manufactured in the prisoners’ quart- ers, and that on one occasion he saw Mr. Steele empty about three gallons 0i beer in the ash-pile. Certainly, ii Mr. Steele ever discovered that they had tried to make beer in the jail, he would pour it out; that part oi his exactly what Mr. Steele would do; but it does not seem logical that the prisoners would ever attempt to get drunk-on beer. We all know that beer is too bulky ior purposes oi that ma. Ii they wanted to get drunk l.u jail they would drink rum, not beer. Ii’ they attempted to make beer, they would surely get caught; that is, ii the jailer was around; but I am in- formed that the present jailer is not oiten around the jail; that he 1s out promehading the streets when he should be attending to his duties. PREMIER SAUNDERS: That is not correct. MR. ARSENAUIJI‘: Well, it is rc- ported. PREMIER. SAUNDERS: Those re- ports don’t amount to anything. MR. ARBENAULT: The people know in Summerisiue, perhaps better than the Premier. I understand that $116 Government is now looking tor another man to rill his place. I cer- tainly congratulate them ii they are. Political Appointments I may say that Mr. Steele was not the only oilicial in Summersido who was dismissed by this Government and replaced by an inierlor man. Take, ior example, the prcthcnotary‘: ofllce. Could the Premier deiend the man appointed to that position? Cer- tainly notl They made mistakes in their appointees. Ii it was only one we would excuse them, but in prac- ticaily every ciiice in Summersidu they made mistakes; and perhaps the reprcsantatlver. from Summer-side are personally responsible ior those mis- takes. I do not blame the Premier; but someone is certainly to blame. PREMIER SAUNDERS: Whom did w- appolnt in the prothonotaryu oi- "c? MR. Ansrznsunrgogg. Peters. ‘l PREMIER SAUNDERS: And what was he in politics? _ . MR. ARSENAULTZ. we don't care what he was; he was no good in that position.
