When .askcd why she was seated side- ways. she replied that it gave more room for Steele to drive; be- ;cause a short distance from the irestaurant, his elbow was striking -her. No one suggested someone might get out to give more room. she said.

After he picked up Campbell. psteclc drove on the right side of ithe road. She stated that she did -not see Steele's head nod. but ithai it could have without her see- ing it as she was watching the road. She also said she did not know who had turned off the switch of the truck after the accid- lent. although she heard the motor stop.

Rev. .I.P.E. 'Hanley, parish priest at Cardigan stated that Steele had come to the Parochial House that night in the truck bringing the body of young Shep- ,hard. He said he observed noth- .ing in Steele's speech or conduct lthat would indicate that he was .not sober. On cross-examination he said that Steele accompanied him to Montague and in the car he saw nothing to indicate Steele phnri hccn drinking.

1 This concluded the defense evid- lence. DEFENCE COUNSEL

In his address to the iury def- ctice counsel Somerled Trainor stated that it was a duty and priv- iicdge to speak on behalf of Steele. He said he would review the evidence fairly and pointed out three principles regarding all

burden of proof on the Crown, ac cused entitled to benefit of doubt.

He said that the Crown must -.how evidence that the over -rowding of the truck caused the accident or was a contributory cause, and he continued that the Crown had failed to establish this contention. He said that the wit-

snid Steele's driving was alright. therefore the crowded condition of the cab did not interfere with his driving.

He continued saying that there was evidence of drinking. but that when taken thioughout the whole day. the amount consumed by Steele himself amounted to three

Trainor siad.

On the evidence of Vera Shep- hard and Mr. MacPhee: It was to the effect that Steele, when Mac- Phee's truck was moving, stepped out off the box on to the ruhning board to ask MacPhee to 20 to Cardigan more quickly; Miss Mac- Donald also saw him running to MacPhee's for help.

Mr. Trainor contended that these would hardly be the actioss of a man under the influence of liquor. Mr. Trainor contended that the cause of the accident was the washout at that particular point in the road at a curve which a driver would naturally hug while rounding the curve.

He said the trap was still there And as further evidence he point- ed to the evidence of MacPhee whose truck went into the same washout that same night when he returned from Cardigan. Mr. Train-

With regard to Steele's condition he said that again the wltnesseal said his condition was normal. ex- cept Vera Shephard, who did not specifically state he was under the influence. but said only that he was not walking straight.

' ATTORNEY-GENERAL

In his address to the Jury. We mler and Attorney-General, AW. Matheson stated that it was the duty of the Crown not only to pre- sent evidence for the Crown but also any evidence which fits both sides of the case: and he said. the Crown has presented evidence in favor of the aciued Mr. Stcclw.

The Attorney General went on to discuss the dignity Of the C00?! and regretted the exhibition made by one of the witnesses on Thurs- day who laughed a considerable portion of the time. when it was

onsidercd that a boy was dead. and another was on trial. He also severely reprimanded the person! in court who had also taken part in this laughter-

Continuing to discuss the evid- ence. he said the Vera Sbephard had been fair in her evidence. and said that she could have seen Steelels head nodding while others might not since she was sitting facing him.

Mr. Matheson continued by say- ing that there were eight in the cab and certainly some degree of . sponsibility belonged to someone for having such a situation as this. He also referred to young Shephard. a 13-year-old boy being left out on the box. A responsib- llity was there someone also. he said, to give up their place and have the little boy moved -into the

He stated that the Crown was in no way trying to force a con- victlon. and should such a state; of affairs arise it would be his; responsibiiity as Attorney General to look into the matter.

The Attorney General went on! to discuss the road and curve where the washout was located. He i felt that the acused had the ice- ponsibility to not drive so closei to the side on a thirty foot road. He commented on the fact that the truck travelled 125 feet after striking the hole. yet by all the evidence the truck was only going 25 or 30.

He reminded the jury that they had a responsibility. not only to 1 to the boy who was dead, but also to the accused. to the people of the community and to the people of the Province as a whole. This duty is imposed by law, he said, and he would expect them to bring in a verdict justifiable to all. the accused and the people of the whole Province.
