ASSAULT CHARGES HEARD IN COURT Farmhand Alleged Attacks By Employer--The Latter Claims Absence at Time Hamilton, April 25, -- Gordon Hunt, farmer, of East Flamboro,' appeared for trial this afternoon on a charge of assaulting William Lowe, young Scottish farmhand, who worked on Hunt's farm for seven months. Hunt offered an alibi to establish that he was in Hamilton wrecking a building on the days that Lowe swore the as- saults occurred. Owing to the interest which the case has arous- ed, Judge Brandon said he felt it was only fitting that he should reserve his judgment, Hunt was represented hy C. W. R. Bowlby; George W. Ballard, Crown Attorney, was prosecutor, Charles Toohey, 285 Bain Avenue, Toronto, who worked on Hunt's farm for fifteen days, from Feh- ruary 10 to 25, this year, was not able to be present to testify for the Crown, Mr. Ballard stated, and Toohey's evidence was read from his deposition as given at the preliminary hearing of the case, At that time Toohey swore he witnessed two attacks which Hunt made upon young Lowe, kieking him and using 2 hammer, , Lowe Reitepates Story William Lowe again told the story of ill treatment and neglect he swore he received at the Hunt farm. He worked on Hunt's farm, he said, from August of 1927 to February 28 this year, He did not get enough to eat, was never given meat, and had to eat by himself, he said. He said that Hunt kicked him and struck him with a hammer on February 22, again on the next day, and struck him with a hammer and a plank a day or two later. Hunt had no provocation to do this, Lowe said. Under cross-examination hy Mr, Bowlby, Lowe admitted that he got his feet frozen through his own act in rising during the night and going to an outhouse in his bare feet. He also admitted that no trouble had occurred between him and Lowe until Toohey came to work there. Toohey, Lowe said, got him to steal milk and this caused trouble. o Hunt then took the stand and swore he never struck Lowe dur- ing the seven months Lowe wag employed on the farm. Hunt swore emphatically he was in Hamilton every day during the period the assaults were said to have occurred. He was engaged at wrecking a house near Emerald and Main streets, and was thus employed every day during that week from about 9 o'clock in the morning until about 5 o'clock at night. Hunt said that there was no reasonable excuse for Lowe leaving the house barefooted dur- ing a bitter winter's night, as Lowe's boots were under the kit- chen stove, the same as Hunt's were, and Lowe could easily have found his boots, even in the dark. Hunt Blames Hired Man Hunt said he knew nothing of this incident, or that Lowe's feet were frozen until Lowe complain- ed of them paining him. Hunt said he ordered Lowe to remove his boots and socks so that Hunt could see the young man's feet. Hunt said he then telephoned Dr. Hopper of Waterdown, to learn what treatment should be given. He followed Dr. HMopper's treat- ment of bathing the feet in hot water and applying vaseline, and did this for several days. Lowe, so Hunt swore, would not bathe his own feet, even though hot water and everything were got in readi- ness for him. Lowe was 'very self-neglectful, had dirty personal habits, and would not wash for days at a time, unless compelled to do so, Hunt said. Hunt said that he had engaged Lowe as a farmhand who had had some experience. Lowe had told him, in Inspector Sweeney's office here, that he could do farm work. The agreement was, so Hunt said, that Lowe was to receive $10 for the first month. If at the end of that time he was found to be a good farm hand, he would receive $15 a month. After the first month, Hunt said, he was convine- ed that Lowe was of no use to him, and would Tons Increase tremendous figure is the INCREASE ONLY in the sale of SALADA TEA in the last two years. that ever a million more people have been conv. SALADA because they have been convinced it delicious tea that they can buy. please every taste and evéry purse. SALADA is said, and Lowe then asked if he might remain there and work for his hoard, Hunt sented to this and had Lowe sign a paper to that effect, so that the arrangement would be clearly un- derstood. There were no strings tied to Lowe, and he was at llber- ty any time he felt disposed, Hun said. Claims Lowe No Farmer Questioned by Mr. Ballard, Hunt aid his farm consisted of 102 acres, There was no other help but Lowe, save during the threshing season and the time for planting, when more help would be engaged. Lowe, so Hunt sald could not milk, and could not har- ness up a horse, even though Hunt spent hours, he © said, trying to show him how to do it. to this day. specter Sweeney's office he was a farmer," Hunt said. Hunt declared that no distine- tion was made in the food' given Lowe. Lowe received the same food as did other members of the household, This food consisted of meat, vegetables and other plain fare such as any hard-work- ing person would enjoy and thrive upon. Lowe ate at the same ta- hle as the rest of them, save for the fifteen days.
