TORONTO POLICE OFFICER CLEARED (Continued from Page One) the Ontario Statutes covering that, section by not having passed by-1 laws saying there is a wrong or right side of the road. I didn't know that myself," continued Magistrate Floyd, "but now that our law makers under-! stand that point, it is hoped they will rectify the omission, "You however were parked off the pavement, off the beaten path," con- cluded the court, "vou were trying to accommodate your friends, which gets' a person into trouble sometimes, | find that you did nothing wrong, un-, lawful or negligent." Thomas W. Mitchell, provincial con- stable stationed at Oshawa, threw a monkey wrench info the machinery of | the crown's case, when he declared that. the automobile pisiare produced in court by Provincial Constable John H. Fewtrell, Cobourg, was not taken with the car in the tracks of Ward's car, as he saw them an hour after the accident. Car of Same Design and Eize The photograph in question showed | 1 car of the same make, design and | dimensions as that of Ward, parked in' front of "The House that Jack Built," and where it was said Ward's car was standing when Mrs, Brown was killed. ! Although this motor was sworn to be as close to the south ditch as it was safe to be moved, the two north' wheels were nearly a foot over on the| pavement. This was in direct contra-, diction to statements of Ward and his' guests, who swore the car was entirely | off the pavement, This photograph, and measurements taken of that spot, were the assump- tions upon which the erown was build- ing a seemingly impregnable case against the accused, when Constable Mitchell declared that the automobile pictured was not in the place where Ward's car made wheel marks on the | night of the killing. Col. Herbert T. Lennox, K.C., M.P,, Counsel for the accused, produced pic- tures which. were taken of Ward's car 1 few feet to the west of where the :rown's photograph was taken. This spot, Ward later swore, was where his 'ar was resting on the night Mrs. Brown was killed. At Various Angles These pictures, seven in number, showed Ward's car photographed at various angles, though resting in the same position for each photograph. Each of them showed the four wheels and fenders to clear the pavement by several inches. One picture showed Ward standing between the car and the ditch, apparently 'to show there was more room than was needed to park the car. George Ernest Cookman Provincial Constable stationed at Whitby, corro- horated Constable Mitchell's testi- mony that he smelt no liquor on Ward's breath. Asked by Mr. Lennox if he thought Ward was in any way responsible for the accident, Mr. Cook- man replied that he did not think so at the time. On Saturday, September 17, Con- stable Cookman declared, he had in- tended on the way home to/Whithy after the adjournment, to try to park his car on the shoulder of the road in front of the "House that Jack Built." Arriving there he had found another car, larger than Ward's, al- ready parked there. Going ovér to speak to the man and ask him what he was doing there, Mr. Cookman found that it was Defense Counsel Lennox. Answering to the affirmative to Mr. Lennox's question as to whether his car was wider than that of the ac- cused, Constable Cookman declared | that Mr. Lennox seemed to have had no difficulty in parking his automobile there. Car Moved Kenneth Prior said he saw accused's car going down the lane to the rear of the house. He did not know who! Previous to seeing the | was driving it. car moving down the lane, he had seen Ward standing on the right hand side of the car. William J. Ward, called to the stand by Counsel, declared that the seven photos shown were taken of his car in practically the same place as on the night of Mrs. Brown's death. He said his courtesy lights were on, which, he explained, are lights which direct the illumination to the ground, and which are not dazzling. "Yes, I saw the Sor coming," wit- nessed © to be coming very fast, hr I couldn't say just how much. Although my door was open, only the cormer of it was struck, a small one half inch being only partly bent. My car is outside now for am examination, if anyone cares to give it one" "Did you move your car the rear of the house?" he tioned "I certainly did not. I don't know who did so, but I would like to know," answered Mr. Ward. "I made in- quiries, but no one could tell me. I believe it was moved when the am- bulance came "from Oshawa" "Did you render all the help you could?" queried his counsel. "Nes." replied witness. "I looked for Mrs. Brown, I helped the police con- stables, answering every question I could. Then I said to them. "Is it al- around to was ques- right if 1 go now? If it isn't, I'll stay. here just as long as you like. Théy told me it was alright for me to go, so I left," concluded Mr. Ward. W. F, Kerr, KC, County Crown Attorney, pointed out that the crown"s case was based on the fact that Ward was on the wrong side of the pave- ment, with fenders and doors project- ing over the right of way. "Mr. Mitch: weakened our evi- dence, for where we thought the caf was parked, is the wrong place. Pos- sibly if the car had been turned around, and if Mrs, Brown alighted on the roadside, the accident might not have happened," declared the crown. "It is up to us if we can show rea- sonable grounds, to ask the court to commit this man to trial. Your honor | may think enough evidence has been ' adduced to warrant this procedure," continued Mr, Kerr, "but Mr. Mit- chell's testimony destroyed what we came down to prove." \ No Right Or Wrong Side Mr, Lennox declared that there is no right or wrong side of the road in Darlington township. He explained that the government leaves the ar- rangement of such matters to muni- cipalities, but that this township had not taken advantage of this provision. "Therefore, Mr. Ward had a perfect right to be in the position in which he was," declared defence counsel. "The crown must show negligence it has failed to do so, Mr. Ward was | not negligent in crossing the road, he was not negligent in parking, and he was not negligent in staying there. There are twenty feet of pavement | there, and the shoulder of the road is | seldom used, shouldn't a man think he would be perfectly safe in parking there?" queried Mr. Lennox. "Mrs, Brown has not been proven | to have been near the car when she + was hit, she may have been three or i four feet away, If that is the case, she would have been killed whether ! the door was open or not," said de- fense counsel, "and, since that is the case, the crown claim is quashed, since the only reason they can hold out for a committment is that the door of my client's car projected a few inches over the pavement. "Mrs. Brown was not killed while in the car, alighting from ir, or walk- ing away from it," continued Mr, Len- nox, "she was killed returning to it. ' The accident would have happened whether the car was facing east or west, and can in no wise he attached o Mr. Ward, as she had left his car, and was returning to it," concluded I defence counsel, Paving a compliment to W. F, Kerr, the crown attorney, for the fair way in which he had acted throughout the hearing, Mr. H. T. Lennox announced that it was with the utmost confidence ! he was asking for a dismissal of the charge against his client.
