By Jake Rupert Hours before he was shot dead, Earl Joe went to his boss and asked for time off to testify in court against the man now on trial for hiring hitmen to kill him.

Mr. Joe, 41, had been subpoenaed to testify on May 26, 1997 against Peter Chenier, who had been charged with aggravated assault for allegedly stabbing Mr. Joe in the stomach in a confrontation on Sept. 21, 1994. Dr.

Mark Hardy told jurors yesterday the stab wound could have been fatal. Court has heard Mr. Chenier was jealous because he thought Mr. Joe had had an affair with his wife, Jennifer Chenier. Court has also heard this dispute had simmered since the early 1990s, with Mr.

Joe being threatened a number of times before and after the stabbing. Assistant Crown attorney James Ca-vanagh has said he will call evidence proving Mr. Chenier told people he didn't want to go to jail for stabbing Mr. Joe, and instead wanted Mr. Joe 3ead.

Yesterday, at the trial of Mr. Chenier, 36, and George Farley, 40, who are charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and possession of explosives, Mr. Joe's boss told the jury his employee seemed intent on testifying against Mr. Chenier. "Earl came to me and said he had a subpoena to appear in court, and he wanted a day off," said Brian Craig, operations manager of Gloucester Hydro, where Mr.

Joe was a lineman. Mr. Cavanagh then produced a request form that Mr. Joe had filled out and signed in order to get the day off. Mr.

Craig had granted the request. He signed it May 21, 1997. Mr. Joe never got the chance to testi- At about 9:20 p.m. that night, Nicole Cameron and her husband were driving to their townhouse on Uplands Drive.

"I heard two very loud bangs," Ms. Cameron told the jury yesterday. As they continued home, a pale coloured hatchback raced past them, she said. Backing into their driveway, she continued, she saw something out of place on the grass in front of their house. "It was a lump that was never there before," she said, adding she went to investigate.

"I stumbled on to the man then. He was down on the grass. I started asking him, Are you to see if he was still alive or conscious. "At one point, he managed to make a noise a grunt." After this, she said, she went into her home and called 911 to report what she found. "During the call, my husband came in to tell me that the man was definitely shot." Mr.

Joe was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital, having received bullet wounds to the chest and heart Mr. Farley is alleged to have pulled the trigger on the gun that killed Mr. Joe, while Mr. Chenier is alleged to have ordered the hit in return for money, cancellation of drug debts and drugs. Two other men are alleged to have participated in the alleged conspiracy to kill Mr.

Joe. These men Andre Boisclair and Danny Moore are scheduled to testify against Mr. Chenier and Mr. Farley. The trial resumes today.
