on the morning of the robbery. Secondly, the car which wa.s used to carry away the stolen grods belonged to the accused. Thirdly, there was fairly conclusive evidenco from Constable Walker, that it was the accused Who drove the car from the building whioh 'had been broken into. Unless such proof were destroyed completely, said Mr. Justice Green-shields, It surely could not bo Maid that a verdict against the accused was "unreasonable or unsupported having regard to the evidence."

Dr. King, Minister of Public Works, Refused Application Made "The accused realized this," continued Mr. Justice Grenshiulds, "and he proceeded, in what I consider the most clumsy way, in an attempt to befool and defeat justice." Dr. Rooh, said the judge, tried to prove an alibi by showing that he arrived home before the robbery took place. Tho woman who testified as to the hour when Dr.

Roch was supposed to have arrived home, said tho Judge, in his opinion, had no idea of when the accused, her paramour, entered his house. "I am satisfied that she wa well aware of what was being done," said the judge, "and she was probably a particeps crimin's with the accused.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS Hon. Dr. King, federal Minister of Public Works, met delegates on Thursday at Ottawa in regard to the question of approving of the plans of the United Manufacturing Company, for the development of a section of the St. Maurice River, and refused the application after hearing the various interests. The United Manufacturing Com-panywas represented by II.

On Mon Justice Greenshields, wno gave judgment for the court, on the a legally constituted body, it is likely that the union will sue the city of Montreal in the Superior Court alleging that es-Captaln Albert Carle, former union president, and ex-Sergeant Joseph Duguay, former union secretary, were wrongfully dismissed from the Police Department. Possibility that the suits Will be taken was admitted yesterday by John A. O'Sullivan, K.C., counsel for the Police Union, who added that the pleas for the two former police ofr-lcers be based on the findings of the Coderro judgment ren- dered Thursday afternoon.

Tho matter is now under study and the final decision will bo made early next week. Carlo and Duguay were both dismissed from the police ostensibly for insubordination. Both men hold, however, that their union activities were at the bottom of their dismissal. Carle, when captain in an outlying police station, attended a meeting of the union without, as the City Hall considered, having fulfilled his duty in patrolling the dis-' trict to see that his men were at their posts.
