Abbies and Vics Tonight Tonight at the local Arena the Abbies and Vics meet in the last game of the first section of the Prince Edward Island Hockey Lea- gue. From all reports the game tonight will be fast and spectacular through- out with the Vics trying to redeem, themselves from their first game with the Abegwelts. and the Abbies de- termined not to let them do so. So with a hard sheet of ice promised and both tcams waiting for the word the fans are in fora little more than their money's worth. Tonight also. the Intermediates got under way when the 2nd Abbies meet the 2nd Vics. This game also will be a. humdinger as both teams are very evenly matched. Dying from a mysterious disease. sparrows. which once were plentiful on Fair Isle, in the North of Scot- land, have p “ lly disappeared. C I ' Thc East and West will resume ac- tivities tomorrow afternoon and ev- ening and will celebrate the happy occaslonlby a. supper to which every member is invited. This is the second clash between these teams and it is hoped that the players will be well enough to be out in full force and that the East will show the West some fine points of thc game. It is expected that arrangements will be lnade for the Bonspiel, pos- sibly next Thursday, which will in- clude both Montague and Summer- side. This meet will be held to decide the future holder of the Ciaboury and McArthur cups. and will undoubtedly be one of the finest bonsplels of the season. . Tomorrow will be an excellent chance to practice up for these big events. BIRTHS be “ ‘“ at a. bargain. Austin A.

At the Supreme Court yesterday the Jury, after deliberating for one and a half hours, found Emman- uel Mallet the prisoner accused of stealing foxes from the ranch of Jas. E. Simms at French River. "Not Guilty." ' The Court resumed at 11 a. m. when Bis Lordship Chief Jllsiioe Malhieeon delivered his chargc=to the jury. He spoke in part as follows: ' The Crown has done its part in this C888. and the defence has been put ln. Both sides of the case have been con- ducted with real and_ ability. Now comes‘ the duty which the court has to perform, and then that which the iurv has to do. The crime with which the prisoner in the dock is charged is a serious one. It is that on or about the 4th day of June, i938 the prisoner did break and enter the Fox Ranch of James E. Sims at French River stealing there- from six livs foxes. Now it has been conclusively prov- en that the fox ranch of James E. Sims‘ was broken into that night, and that the foxes were stolen. From mid- night until the next day the events with which you are concerned occur- red. That same day of June 5th in a place remote from the scene of the theft at Ram Island, six young foxes were found and delivered up to the officers of the law, and that ev- ening they were back with their nio- thers ln the pen ail Mr. Sim‘s ranch. The principal facts are attested to by uncontradicted evidence-the steal- ing, the breaking, alld the filming of the foxes on ihc Mallett ranch. The action of the aofflcers ofthe lsw was swift and sure. They follow- ed up the theft with such certainty and swiftness that the crime was made useless by the foxes being quick- ly restored to their owner. Constable Bigger was called “from Charlottetown that morning, and the same evening the foxes were back in the hands of their rightful possessors. Jn this Constable Bigger also took part. Yet while their action was quick and elective, through inexperience the Ldouble object in view was not quite attained. Unfortunately, while they recovered the foxes’, their action toward the ac- cused was such that the Court must rule out part of the evidence. Con- fessions must be made freely and vol- untarily-and the proper precautions were not taken in this case. So officers‘ of the law in future should l " r that when such crime is committed they have two ob- jects i_n view-first the recovery of the stolen property, and secondly. and most important, the detection and apprehension of the criminals. Any evidence as to irregularity of procedure, arresting without war- rants, etc. must be dismissed from. your minds as totally irrelevant. In this case there were three Mal- lets named; one of them: John, has disappeared, the second, Frank, was tried and acquitted, and the third is before you in the dock. There is a fourth man, Louis Binns, who touch- ed those foxes. He has turned Kings evidence, and he tells wpo were COll- cerncd in the crime. He says that John Mallett drove into the ranch wherc he iBlIllISl ivas working on the evening of the fourth of June. Mallett asked himself and the prisoner to go for a. drive with him. Then they went to a house near Hamilton where they got two or three rounds of beer, then to Ken- sington where witness was absent for about one hour in s. drug store. Jack Mallet got a can of beer. Then they went down to French River, drove in- m a lane, wherelthey all three got out of the car. John, with rubber boots crossed a pond which lay in their path direct. The prisoner and he went up the brook by a roundabout route. When he and the prisoner reached the top of the bank John Mallet-Was in a pen taking out foxes. The foxes made s noise, one of them barked like a dog, and a woman in white appear- ed. - The witness says they went for foxes. and they came away with six foxes, in two bags. Then they went to Ram Island. John and the FY1505" and Binns went into the house there when Prank Mallett appeared. The prisoner said that he had a ranch of his own. and that he did not want the foxes Tl? his own ranch. 9”‘ F'o'n' §t§uofignivsr I \ ‘l; m ' D "roaomo islvibsnl .

He was there in the car asleep. NOW, if you can believe this story, you know who took the foxes. Binns states that he and the prisoner did not touch them. But the evidence as to their association with the man who took the foxes is enough to cause you to hold the prisoner and Binns,-if he were being tried, equally guilty with the man who did so. He who aids and abets ‘a crime is just as guilty as the man who commits it. And my charge to you is this, that the evidence of Billns involves the Prisoner as much in the commission of the crime as if he placed his hands in the pen and took out the foxes. There is another point of import- ance. If the evidence of Binns stands alcilc. and he is an accomplice, he docs not come into court under very favourablc circumstances. , Tile cvldcncc oi‘ an accomplice is to be regarded by the court. properly with suspicion, and while the Jury may -in their discretion, convict on tho evidence of an accomplice alone. lt is not a safe thing to do. The jury may accept the evidence; but the court would fail in its duty if it did not wam the jury to be careful of the evidence of one who comes into court with such abldt on his escutcheon. If you believe the evidence of Binns alone. the facts would be sufficient to enable you to llnd a verdict, but, if not, lhcll you will enquire if there is other evidence ill corroboration, and if so, if it is sufficient to enable you to arrive at a decision. There is the evidence of Simsfor ydifto consider. Here His lordship read extracts from the evidence of James E. Sims, relat- ing to the theft of the foxes. He pointed out that Sims described three mcn who he saw making away from his ranch. This evidence corroborates that of Binrls on this point. also his statement with regard to the large feet of one and the rubber boots of another. _ Tlleii he testifies that at the Lcalancl Itrancll, Biggai" and the prisoner had a‘ conversations behind the ha "u. Thai conversation you can- notkn w; bllt as a-result of that con- versation. the prisoner guided Big- gal" to WllEIC the stolen foxes AVOTC. Hence the prisoner lnusi have known where they were concealed. They drove away in a car, and re- turned about 5 o'clock-from the place to which the prisoner guided them with sir: foxes in the back of the cal". Tlicn Sims describes how these foxes were received by their nlotllcrs as be- longing to ihc fanlily. ‘ His Lordship next rclld extracts fl"oln the cvldcncc of Constable Big- ar. That is practically the evidence, You have to take it all. and if, after having considered it. you are unable to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion, you are to give the prisoner the bene- fit of the doubt. But it must be a reasonable. one- one such as men sworn to do their duty, as you have been, must consid- You have a heavy burden upon you. On the one hand, you must give the prisoner the benefit of cvcry legiti- mate doubt] On the other" hand, it is the duty of the jury to convict where the evidence calls for a conviction. Your responsi- bility for the peace and welfare of the country demands that this be done. Were it not so; were Juries t0 iflll 01 their duty in this regard. the eqil ef- facts would all too soon become 8D- porelit in a decay of that respect for law and order which is the founda- tion of our civilization. The jury retired at 12.50 p. m. At 2.20 p. m. they returned with s vcr- dict of acquittal. In the afternoon. the case of Mrs. Cousins vs. the Sheriff of Queens County was headed before Mr. Justice Hazard and a jury: This is on action for tresPB-BS m goods, arising from an execution lev- ied by tlie Sheriff against the goods of James Dixon.

We had post- poned the meeting several times in order to have her with us. In the nineteen years of the Soci- ety's existence we had made wards of about 100 ‘children, and placed most of them ill foster homes which after careful investigation we had found fit. In only one or two in- stances had we found it necessary to withdraw children from the homes in which they had originally been placed. The Society was under a. great debt of gratitude to the orphanages. which took the children ofi‘ our hands until suitable homes are found for them. We have found Ml". Shaw a capable and good crucial.

She proposed to spéhk? on the subject of child care and pro- tection. , The family is the finest and best‘ part of ‘our civilization. We have thrown about it all the safeguards of ‘ church and state. We have given) large sanctions to the marriage re-i lationship. and there results a com-' munity obligation to the child born of this union. The family is expos- ed to certain hazards. l. The pressure of economic forc- es-poverty. 2. Soscial forces. human frailiies, viciousness. cruelty. 3. Moral evil. incorriglbility. de- linquency. Being a child is a nlost dangerous adventure. Then there is the spe- cial problem of the broken arc in family relationship-the unmarried parent. These difficulties press in upon the child in city and country. Isolation often brings about more terrible con- ditions thsn does the congregation of the great cities. The true line of good social work is that of reconstruction. The Canadian provinces have tri- ed by legislation to cope with the destructive forces that bear upon the child. l. Guardianship laws. Ontario and the western provinces have provided by statute for the equal guardianship of botirpsrents for persons under 2i years of age. In this province of Prince Edward Island the father is the sole guardian. Where one parent is removed from sn,v home by the arm of the law. some constructive work needs to be done. It will not do to wait unhl the other parent is taken too. The eflort must be to remove the course of the trou- measures when the s"uation ‘TED-imp am‘- I am not blaming the Gov- ‘ ' ti! 1.35.

The Court deals with the care as, a social problem. In most of the provinces we seek to have the methods of the Juvenille Court apply also in cases ullder the other statutes relating to social wel- fare. so bcneflcient have those meth- ods prcven. , Constant efforts are being made to amend these Acts relating to file care and protection of children. The definition of "neglect" in the statute has been repeatedly amended. When the child is ill danger -of growing up to bc.a menace to society the state lnust stepin with preven- iive measures. It has called to its aid the Children's Aid Society. In eight provinces laws are in force giving to these. Societies the powers of guardianship. When duly incor- porated. ihe Society has large pow- ers. Ifs agent may take A child into custody without a warrant. The child is brought before the Court.‘ which may return it to its home or deliver it in the guardianship of the Society. which finds for it a substi- tute home. Often the desire is expressed that the Government should bear all the cost of this work. If this were done. the Government would establish a department to do the work which voluntary societies are now doing; and this would be open to grave ob- Sections. neglected or delinquent children. the field work. the seeking out of cases. The temporary care of ought to be done by volunteer effort assisted by Government grants. But when the child has been made a ward of any organization by action of a court or by virtue of a statute. then the municipality or the Gov- ernment should bear the expense.
