Inspector Gardner of the Ontario Provincial Police has gone to Los Argeles, CaL, prepared to escort the alleged matricide back to Canada. A representative of the Attorney General will present to a United States Extradition Court the province's prima facie case against the accused man. Figuring largely in this case will be the soap-cake which he allegedly carried back to Los Angeles from a Toronto hotel in the course of the flying visit, which police say ne made to Ontario last week, and in the course of which he allegedly murdered his mother, 76 year old Mrs. Nathaniel VefmHyea, mother-in-law of Hon. Dr. J. A. Faulkner, Provincial Minister of Health. Evidence from airwars employees, who claim to have identified Vermilyea as a. ChicagoCalifornia passenger, also will be received. The accused man's action in Extradition Court is expected to determine how soon he will be brought to tliis Province for trial. If he waives extradition, proceedings will be brief, but if he contests the Province's application, there will be a more extended hearing at Los Angeles. >owded Highways Resulted in Mishap That Took Toll of Six By The Canadian Frestt
