UNDERTAKERS Two years ago Mr. Scott suffered a double skull fracture when he was knocked down by a bicycle. Besides his wife, the former Mary Meneary, of Belfast, North Ireland, whom he met while staioned there There were 5.83 prisoners in 1938. 6,210 in 1939.

while the following year there were 13,474. The record year was 1941 when 19.840 prisoners were taken with a climax of 2,002 in betting houses in one month. Mr. Justice Cannon interrupted the evidence while Mr. Bissonnette rested from his long arduous reading task to state, "If we asked simply that these records be produced, it might be said by scrupulous people watching these proceedings that the commission is hiding things." The witness continued with the 1942 figures set at 16,029 cases for the year while 1943 showed 10,250 cases.

In 1944 to March 15, the case list ehov-ed 2,053 cases. For the juried of September, 1936, to March. 1940. the witness declared that the average number of arrests per raid on betting houses was 8.03 persons, those on gambling houses 14.65 persons, disorderly houses 4.13 persons and lotteries, 5.1 persons. The period covered the administration of the Provincial Police after There was an impression in the minds of the public, if not in that of the commission itself that the company favored unlawful business and that hundreds of telephones were left lying idle at police headquarters, the lawyer said.

In this respect, J. P. Daigneault, provincial police quartermaster who returned to the stand a few minutes later to continue evidence he began the previous day, declared that he had 290 telephones seized in raids in this storage vaults. The lawyer declared he believed that the impression may have been spread that a sure means of ending betting activities in illegal premises was to end the telephone service and he wished to place the position of his company before the public. Its reputation had been attacked and the company was proud of the respect accorded it, by users of the service.

As a public utility, it found much goodwill essential to its operations.
