The figure is based on re- ports ef newspaper correspondents in the affected areas and crop ex- ports on private inspection tours. The brunt. of the loss is» borne by Saskatchewan farmers who are foc- ed with a loss ranging between $5,- 000,000 and $8,000,000 with the heav- iest damage in districts swept by storms of tornado proportions dur- ing the past week. More than 2,000,000 acres of grain are reported to have been destroyed within the recent hail zone.

The evidence in the Vogue case came to a conclusion yesterday afternoon. Previous to adjourn- mentths crown prosecutor. At- torney General Stewart and the Counsel for the defence. Mr. J. J. Johnston, K. C., addressed the lury. As it was after five o'clock when the addresses ended Chief Justice Mahieson informed the Court that he would defer his charge to the jury until this morn- ing at 10.30 o'clock. Mr. J. J. John- ston, K. C., in the course of his address te the jury, commented on the fact of the length of the case l5 compared to. the others. It is my duty to sum up the evidence in behalf of tho two young men In tho box. I stated to you that our defense is a simple one. 1 stat- ed that the only evidence is that of the McCloskey's and I said I would establish the fact that she is not a creditable witness. This is a case in which I am justified in saying that the star witness of the Crown is not only a common paid informer but also a perjurer. I would caution you against any prejudices which may have entered your minds by reason of the fact that those young boys have been at other times be- fore the Court. Why is the Crown obliged to go into the details of the history or the boys. Was it done to prejudice your minds? Therefore I plead with you not to let these things interfeiewith you. The wit- nesses nf the prosecution are un- deserving of credit. The only evid- ence against Gormley and Byers, is that of Bessie McCloskey sup- ported" by her husband.‘ The only evidence against Byers is that he came to McCioskeyVi and told Bes- sie McCloskey that he had some nice dresses. If he was seen in the vicinity of the Vogue at the time of the break. there might be some- thing then. Suppose it was proved up to the hilt that Byers was in that house at 11 ofilnck and said he had some nice dresses. would you convict on that? The same thing applies to Gormley. She says he was there and said to her, "i unite some stuff, will you take cure 0 Mr. ‘McCloskey is not the boss of the house. He doesnt count- in this matter at all. it is Mrs. Mc- Closkey. She is contradicted in this case by 14 witnesses and inde- pendent witnesses too. Why wasn't. Byers and Gormley put on the same level as the McGioakefs? Why is it at this Court she is iiri- mune‘! Why that discrimination? She comes into this Court a paid informer. She delivered the goods for the fifty dollars-and got the fifty dollars and immunity from persecution at this Court. That is the situation which confronts us. Savidant a reliable witness says he saw a man with the goods cem- lllg out of the Vogue at 4.25. Bessie McClockey says that Gormley was down to hor place with the goods two heiirs before that. Why go to her place unless she was a fence for stolen goods. Am I justified iii saying slie is a paid common informer. We are still left in the dwric n-i to wnere the fifty dollars came from. Peter Bradley says he got it from ‘the Stipendary Magistrate. Where did the Stipendsry Magistrate get. it? She says she was offered $100 in give away the names oi‘ those who did it. Whore did the names of the two boys come from. "iiradlsv says I never offered her $100. I asked him when she made the statement. is she tolling the truth. and he said "N0."
