THREE CARS IN HIGHWAY CRASH Michigan Motorist is to Blame for Accident Near Trenton Belleville, June 23.--An acci- dent in whick three cars were in- volved occurred about a quarter of a mile west of the overhead bridge outside Trenton at 12.30 on Thursday. While passing an- other automobile, Mrs, William Behrens, of Muskegon, Michigan, crashed into a car driven by Miss Thorton of Ottawa, doing consid- erable damage to both cars. As well as this, W.

The matter was satisfactorily ar- ranged between the parties, Mrs, Behrens admitting she was in the wrong. SOPHIE KOHEN CLAIMS PERJURED EVIDENCE CAUSED CONVICTION Toronto, June 22.--Miss Sophie Kohen moved before the First Di- visional Court at Osgoode Hall for leave to reopen a case in which she was convicted in 1925 of false pretenses in the sale of a carload of coal. Applicant claimed that ghe was convicted on perjured evi- dence, and she asked to be allowed to present new material to the court in order to demonstrate her assertion. In view, however, of the fact that an appeal from the convic- tion had been heard and dismissed a year or so ago, their Lordships declined to hear the motion, for want of jurisdiction. A matter ot this kind can be reopened only by direction of the Minister of Justice, circumstances have come to light which might lead to a revision of the finding of the court below. Evidence is said to be available which tends very seriously to dis- credit testimony given against Miss Kohen, The only course now open to Miss Kohen -is to approach the Attorney-General with a view to bringing the matter to the atten- tion of the Minister of Justice. CEYLON CONDEMNS RUBBER RESTRICTION Colombo, Ceylon, June 22.--In less than five minutes' time the Legislative Council of Ceylon yes- terday passed the following mo; tion: "This Council having de- cided that the rubber restriction scheme is uneconomic for Ceylon, is unwilling that Ceylon shall re- main any longer in the scheme." H. R. Freeman, the member moved the motion, said there was wise she enjoyed good health. THE OSHAWA DAILY, TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1928 -- INDIAN 1S GIVEN" DEATH SENTENCE First Death Penalty Imposed in-Manitoulin in Three Years Gore Bay, Ont., June 22.--Af- ter a jury of peers had found him guilty of the murder of his wife, sentence of death was pass ed on Edmund Kabina, Cockburn Island Indian, here at the Crimin- al Assizes for the Manitoulin by Mr. Justice Kelly. Kabina will pay for the crime with his life on Fri- day, September 14, next. Asked by the court if he had anything to say before sentence was pronounced, the Indian, be- traying not the slightest sign of emotion, answered through his interpreter, "Nothing at all." The case was placed in the hands of the jury last evening, and the verdict was returned after they had deliberated an hour-and a half. "The law has been more consid- erate of you than you were of your wife," Mr. Justice Kelly told the accused, "in that it affords you ample opportunity to make peace with your Maker." Six fellow-Indians and his 17- year-old daughter testified they saw Edmund Kabina deliberately fire two fatal shots at his wife on May 6 last. Taking the stand in his own de- fence, Kabina maintained that he had no recgllection of the actual shooting. Four other witnesses called by his counsel, T. M. Mul- ligan of Sudbury, testified as to his previous good character. Kabina is a middle-aged Indian from the Cockburn Island. On May 5, last, he was accused of' shooting his wife following a* quarrel the two had when he re- turned home and discovered that she was making "moonshine." This is the first Criminal Assizes held on the Manitoulin Island since 1925, and when the trial commenced Mr. Justice Kelly in addressing the jury complimented the district for its freedom from serious crime for such a lengthy period. od BANK'TREASURER ARRAIGNED Worcester, Miss., June 22.-- George O.
