Many fav- oraltlc comments were passed on the excellent. service provided by the Prince Nova. and on the courtesy shown by the Captain and crew.

And I am fully re- solved that our Organization with the assistance of our Federal and Provincial Governments, and the ¢°-°Perat".on of the business inter- ests of the Maritimes will make this oroiect one of whim we will all be roud, and at the same time inakc t of very real benefit; to business, Bfllflltllng the Maritimea I want to refer to some things we have already provided, that will be of real benefit to the Maritime-s. First-Although our run is 50 per cent greater than the distance between Borden and Tormentine, we are carrying autos and passen- gers at the same rate either for single or return passage. And ex- isting rates on the Borden-Tormen- tirie route are the result of very strenuous efforts on the part of our Boards of Trade in co-opera- lion with our Federal Representa- tives and Provincial Governmenw, and are only a fraction of the charges exacted a few years ago. Second-JIM: return portion of any return ticket for auto or pass- enger, issued by either the Govern- ment Ferry at, Borden-Torinentlrie, or by Northumberlaxid Ferries Ltd. will be accepted for return passage by the other boat. This means that each auto entering Prince Edward Island via Borden may return to the Mainland via Wood Islands. and thus each tourist to Prince Ed- ward Island becomes a. prospective visitor to Nova Sootia; and each visitor entering Prince Edward Is- land via Wood Islands may go out via Borden and visit New Bruns- wick. and we all benefit. Third-As regards rates for trucks, these have been so arrang- ed that a truck up to 15 feet in length. may cross and return for the same charge as an auto. that is for $3.00 plus 65 cents for driver. this includes the load, or in other words, there is no charge for the load. Trucks longer than 15 feet pay a. slightly higher rate, and. there is going to be ample oppor- tunity to develop business, which up to the present has not been 1105- sible, because of the rates in effect on the Borden-Tormentine route. where the minimum return charge for c, truck is $12., plus 65 cents for driver, plus freight at regular rates for the load carried, which mean: that the return charge for the larger trucks including load can be as high, I am told, as $50. or $60. I could go on for a long time pointing out the advantages that can be looked for as our Service develops. but. I do not want to take up tum that belon to others. but I do want to ask or your support in developln this connection, and make it who we are determined it shall be- a. link to tie Nova Sco- tia. and Prince Edward Island so closely together, that we will for- ggt, that we are not what we should -one community." Lt. Governor LePago ‘The new carferry service between Wood Islands and Caribou fulfills a long felt want. in the transporta- tion system between the Eastern section of Prince Edward Island and Nvoa Scotia," said His Honour Lieu- tenant Governor LePage. "Inter-provincial trade between these provinces, which in years past has beenouite extensive, will. no doubt. be largely increased by this service, and will be highly benefic- ial to both provinces by the in- creased inter-change of commodi- ties. ‘Iris trade should cal. We need the roducta of your mines and industr 1 centres. "K1 you require the products of our fnrnu and industries. This Perry will give these two provinces an op- gaxartunity to enjoy the benefits of tar-provincial transportation by motor truck which has proved so beneficial in the saving of time and cost in moving commodities within a reasonable radius. "However. I believe the foremost benefit of this ferry service will b9 in the increased tourist industry it will create for both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The tourists that come from other parts of Can- ads and United States to our pro- vince lo enjoy its beautiful pastor a1 scenes, its fine farms, its National Park. and it; hospitable people. will want to return by the way of Capo Breton, with its beautiful lakes and scenery. its National Park. its warm hearted people and all its other fine attractions. and vice verso. "Not. only will the tourist from afar use this lorry. but a much larger number of pie of both these provinces wll visit back and forth, owing lo the shorter and more direct route. "I am confident that the ener- getic business men who are man- aginaéthia Ferry service will see lo it at nothing la left. undone to ive the moat satisfactory service to he travelling public. “Our Federal Cloveniment have built fine terminals. ahd will con- tinue to improve them.

Premier MaoMllla-Ii "I appreciate very much." said Premier MacMillan, “your kind m. vitation to be with you today on ilils very important occasion for the people of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia a: well." "Although we perhaps did not take as active a part in pushing this ferry service as we should have done," he added, “I assure you we appreciate very much what has been done; and I think we with you realize what n. great advan- tage it will be not only to Prince Edward Island but to the province of Nova Scotia and to the Mari- time provinces as well.. . ." “Prom the business point of view doubtless it will be a very great advantage. I relations between the two provin- ces will be greatly enhanced by this ferry service. If there ever was a case where we wanted reciprocity it is now between the provinces of this Canada of ours." Continuing. Premier MacMllian reOalled, many years ago. crossing on the steamer from Charlottetown to Pictou. "Forty-two years ago next July I made my first visit to the Isla d and I got a wife over there." (ap- lause) “That was m first step n getting closer rela fonship be- tween Nova. Scotia and P.E.I." (applause ) Continuing Premier MacMillan recalled that in those days he drove from Hamilton to Charlottetown with a horse and buggy. Loud applause greeted the Nova Scotia. Premier when he added: "Now that we have a shorter route here I expect to spend a. good deal of time on Prince Edward Island." Nova Scotians, he said had re- portedly not done very much to promote this particular terry ser- vice. I-Ie recalled that as far back as 1936-37 l:e had been pressing at Ottawa. for a better service between Charlottetown and Pictou, ‘ was extremely anxious at that time." said Premier to promote the tourist business of No- va Scotia and I felt that one way to do that would be to get a proper ferry service between Charlotte- town and Pictou." Premier MacMillan spoke enilsu- siastically in praise of the tourist literature issued by the Prince Ed- ward lsland Government, The Nova Scotia Premier stated that on many counts the Maritime Provinces hail been discriminated against under the terms of Con- federation. That. however. does not affect the war issue today which finds Canada united." "We would not sever our connec- tion with Canada but I do say that the disabilities we suffered under for a great many years were due to Confederation," Premier Mac- Mlllan said. There were important duties. he said, facing the heads of govern- ment and legislative members in the Marltimes today. There was the Sirois Report or "the spearhead which is. now enterin. We must see to it that the Mari ime Provin- ges do not suffer any loss there- y_.. “I think," added Premier Mac- Millan, admld further applause, "it is absolutely necessary that we be careful and watchful. We must be extremely careful that we do not lose anything we had, and we must take every opportunity to gain some- thing for the Maritime Provinces." "I do not think that we in the Maritime Provinces need to be a- shamed of our attitude or our rec- ord in this war," Premier MacMil- lan said. "We have always been in the forefront so far as our loyalty to Canada. and to our King and Country are concerned." In this connection Premier Mao- Millan referred to lite Maritime Provinces as having the highest per caplta record of eniistmenfs in all Canada. speaking on behalf of Premier Campbell who was unable to attend. Hon. J. P. McIntyre, P. E. I. Mixi- ister of Public Works and Highways. voiced his pleasure at hating present. He reviewed the early transportation in Canada. particu- larlv with regard to the Intercolon- ial Railway "The service between Wood Lsl- ands and Cariboo is only in its in- fancy". said Mr. McIntyre. “As the years go on I look for a great deal of traffic and freight between the provinces of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotla. As time Roe: on - ' h ll ll develop: be recmw we s a see a marveineexifprovinuial she ment and a great trade between these provinces." Mr. MoLnre o The next speaker called upon was ilratulated President Mutch and the directors of the Northumberland Ferries Ltd. on the splendid service they had provided.

Per- haps I am ijustified in saying it is a case of c rcumstantial evidence. There is no positive, definite or direct evidence that the prisoners committed the crime of which they are char ed. The case so far as the Crown s conoemed depends eu- uirely upon i ferences to be drawn from the evl ence submitted. The prisoners‘ defence is that of an alibi. That they were elsewhere when the crime was committed." He pointed out that “in a case where the evidence is purely cir- cumstantlal. if every link in the chain of circumstances is a sound nk. and is well welded into the next. there cannot be a stronger case than that; on the other hand it is a kind of evidence which re- quires of a jury that they shall examine it. with the utmost care in order to make sure in passing along the chain of links wh ch make up that which has told against the prisoners, they do not. pass by any flaw or break." "Circumstantial evidence does not mean a lot of suspicious cir- cumstances. That is not it at all. You must have each circumstance which is founded upon, those which are to be pieced together into one cluslon is to be derived, clearly demonstrated by evidence," he de- clared. “It has been said. times without number a chain is no stronger than its ‘weakest link: so no cir- cumstaritial evidence ls worth any- thing if any essential circumstance is not established," the Court re- minded the jury. Continuing he stated that “hav- ing said all this in regard to cir- cumstaritlal evidence: let me make this clear to you. that. very very often in criminal cases we can never get better than circumstan- tial evidence, and very often too it is just as reliable and just as de- pendable as direct evidence. be- cause facis_do not. lie as human be- ings sometimes do. You may and in all probability will regardthc facts and circumstances contained in the evidence submitted by the Crown as much more reliable and dependable than the direct evi- dence of the men charged with having irnbrued their hands in the blood of the inoffensive old man Peter J. Trainor. “Gentlemen. you and I have thv satisfaction of knowing from what we have observed during this trial that there has been no failure on the art of those entrusted with the uty of watching over the in- terests of the country's justice; or of those who have been employed in defending the interests of the prisoners. "In the many cases I have from time to time seen in Court. I have. never seen one in which one could feel more cleariy that full justice has been done to their work, both by the Attorney General and his Counsel and Counsel for the pris- Daventry. Arcliles mother ‘oners. That to a very great extent lightens my task and makes it that for me. "We might expect all we have heard and seen of the Attorney General as his experience and abil- ity has been recognized for some tjmg past. 1 feel I would be derelict in my duty if 1 failed to compli- ment the less experienced. but none the less worth counsel for the- prisoners on t e very creditable discharge of his onerous duties." The trial judge than reminded the jurv that. "the province of a judge in a criminal case such as this, when he hears some evidence which he regards as untruthful makes it difficult for him to an- alyze the evidence in detail with- out exhibiting the appearance o! bias. But let me assure you my greatest endeavour will be to bring out the many features of this im- portant case in a most unbiased gianner so that full justice may be one.” l-Ie added that “the Attorney General too should not. unduly press any matter. I think in this regard he has been eminently fair. Counsel foi- the prisoners s ex- pected to defend his clients to the utmost of his ability. This I know he has don-e." Continuing he said “at the con- clusion of the summation of the evidence by Counsel I think it is a wise and reasonable thing that some words should be addressed to the jury from a more judicial and impartial point of view. “Very often it is the practice of a. judge to let counsel deal at p5 length with the evidence submit- the present service. Referring to the Prince Nova he said: “She has good speed. She is rhaps r". as large’ as we would li e. but we hope that may be supplemented later on with another boat if the service‘ warrants.

It is my ractice n every sin le case which comes before me to eal with every feature and every phase of the evidence as fullv and completely as possible. In this the most impor- tant. case that has appeared on the docket in many years, 1 intend to go into every detail of the evidence as exhaustively as lies within my power and ab lity. "I may tell you further that it is the practice of a. judge to suggest to the jury things wh ch occur to his own mind upon the evidence.

JUSTICE A C thing the ridge has to do is w guide you ‘In that riiéiiétefrsrrgfn - - mus ' Th: lg: hma case of t is kind is clear. Either find the risoners guilty of the charge or br n8 l" a verdict 0f not guilty. “The prisoners are charged with having murdered a high y IESPECl- able and an exceedingly fine, in- offensive. industrious old man. "It would be difficult to exagger- ate the gravity, even the atrocity. of this horrible crime in such a quiet law-abiding city as pear after listening to the details of the crime that there is no linilt to the depths of human depravity. It is true, gentlemen, that the rlsoners are entitled to say that hey have no duty in the matter whatever. “That the burden or provln the charge made against them res s on the Crown and that unless the Crown proves the charges they are entitfed to be acquitted. “Under our jurisprudence every man is presumed to be innocent until he is found guilty. Mass of Detail “Considering the number of wi‘- nesses examined and the impor- tance of the case. the mass of oe- talls which are involved in it. it becomes all the more necessary that I should give you a clear, concise account of the various stages and as ects of the case. It W111 be mv efFort. not to press one fact too far. but to act as fairly as 1 possibly can. “The offence for which the pris- oners stand charged is the most serious in the calrndar of crime. “It. is the taking of a human life. The life of a remarkably fine old respectable citizen. I need hardly remind vou that prisoners so sit- uated when guilty will naturally cling to any straw. i_n order to save themselves. They will manufacture any story to suit the occasion in the hope that some one may be- lieve what they say, and thus ac- complish their purpose. An oath does not mean anything to them. 'l.‘he only thine that matters is the regaining of t eir freedom. _ “I am not sayll} the prisoners at the bar are cull v. I simp y say if they are guilty how much re- liance can you place ‘III anythina tlrv may have said in their own defence? ' _ "I will say without hesitation I was not greatly impressed with the evidence of the prisoners or their witnesses. ‘ "These are the things I re at which makes it exceedingly dffi- cult to bring out all the important features of the case without. hav- ing the appearance of bias. ‘Why should you and I reject the evidence of certain witnesses and accept the evidence of others‘! We do so because as prudent men we vcrv often can size up a situa- tion after hearing the answers of witnesses and observing their de- meanor in the witness box. "I will endeavour to explain more clearv ns I analvze the evidence my reasons for such conclusions. "I simply want to soy I will not shrink from doing my full duty as I see it by driving home every fact and circumstance for or ag- ainst the prisoners as they appear or occur to mv mind. without fear or favour, so that you may be as- sisted in arriving at a fair, just. and conscientious decision. "1 repeat again, you are the sole judges of the facts. You may or may not acce t what. I have to say to you re ar inlg the facts. It is your priviege to disregard all I may say regarding the facts and come to your own conclusion re- spcctlng them.“ Reviews Evidence Mr. Justice Saunders then gave a detailed analysis of the evidence given by the various witnesses who In his opening remarks he de- ciared that in his opinion there was not much mystery attached to the case and added that, of course it would not do for the Crown to point into the dark. It was their duty to show the lights in the case. In this respect the Crown had] fulfilled its duty exceptionally l-le highly com imentcd the various members of he City Police Force, who had taken part in the arrest, on their fine discharge of duty and made special mention of Constable A.
