ORMISTON DAILY TIMES | news will be received at the 'Because Jury Disagrees In Seduction Case, Man May Stand Trial Again "evi Brown, Elder of Osh- | awa Religious Group, | Was Charged With] Seducing Young Wo- man in His Employ CASE HEARD AT COUNTY COURT Crown Intimates Charge Will Be Pressed -- De-| fence Contends That Girl Was Not in Accused's Employ (By Whigby Staft Writer) A jury in the County Court and General Sessions of the ePace at! Whitby, Thursday afternoon after | over an hour's deliberation, in- formed His Honor, Judge J. E. Thompson that it was unable to agree upon a verdict in the case of Levi Brown, of 200 King St. West., Oshawa, charged with se- duction of a girl, alleged to have | been im his employ. His Honor asked the jury if there was any chance of an agreement being reached and the foreman, G. Wal- ter Reid, of Cannington, answered that there was not. His Honor then dismissed the jury and the accused was admitted to baii. He will come up again at the next Court, unless the 'Crown in the meantime decides to drop the charge as suggested by Brown's counsel in court, D. A. J. Swan- Mr. M¢Gibbon stated, how- | . 'that he could see no reason the charge should be drop- Brown, described in court as an | elder in the ePntecostal Mission, was placed on trial after dinner on Thursday afternoon. The girl | against whom the offerce is al- leged to have been committed, is | twenty vears of age, and a ward of the Children's Aid Society of | Toronto. The principal point of | evidence was whether or not the girl was actually working for | Brown when the alleged offence | was committed. If she was not, | it was held by defense counsel, | there was no seduction as the girl | was over 18. . Witness Breaks Down . In the witness hox the girl broke down just after the case | started when she was being cross- | examined by Mr. Swanson, and | the court had to be adjourned for a brief time until she was again able tn testify. She told the Court which was cleared for the hearing, the circumstances of the alleged offense, stating that it was committed when she went to Brown to pray for her while she was sick. She admitted in cross- examination that there had heen improper relations on oceasions, also that on some occasions it was with her consent. She claimed that she was not working for Brown on that oecasion, her aunt partly paying for her keep. She was free.to go when she pleased. She got small amounts of money from Brown once or twice, The Crown produced in evi- dence Chief T'riend, of Oshawa, who submitted a statement, vol- also claimed that Brown admitted the offense to him. ; No evidence was submitted for the defense and the case went to the jury with only crown wit- nesses being heard. D. A. J. Swanson argued to the jury that the evidence disclosed that the girl, and not Brown, was the real seducer, and that even if they found that Brown was partly to blame, the law required that they must bring in a verdict of quittal, the girl being of Brown was also entitled to the benefit of any existing doubt, he said Crown Attorney J. A. McGibbon told the jury that Brown, a church elder, had taken advantage of a girl who was undoubtedly in his employ, as he hat admitted giv- ing her money, He had gone in to pray for nes i: ~! goul and had despoiled the body which God gave her. There was no excuse, Mr. McGibbon stated. Accused was guilty, according to the evi- dence, and he asked the jury to so find. Crimes like this, he stat- ed, must not go on unpunished, Judge Thompson made a brief charge to the jury, explaining the law and reviewing some points of the evidence. It is understood that the jury was seven for acquittal, four for conviction. and one undecided, one way or the other. Whitby Will Pay Over $22,000 To County This Year Whithy's contribution to the county treasury this year will 510.83, according to the schedule submitted to the County Council on Friday when the tax rate was struck. For general purposes the town will pay $17,716.86; for county roads, $4,511.17 and suburban roads, $282.80. The county levy is one of the main ex- penditures which the Town Council must take care of when striking the tax rate and preparing the estimates for the year. It is one of the large uncontrollable expenditures, and one which has grown hy leaps and bounds in recent vears, There is a slight reduc- tion this year in the town's tax hill to the county, but, in the language of the street, it is nothing to write home about.

SEAMAN Interest in Five Year Old Tragedy Revived Lunenburg, N.S.,,--A tragedy of five years ago, accepted here as one of the sea's hazards familiar to this fishing port, has aroused renewed interest with reports that Massachusetts authorities arc contemplating investigation of the death of Duncan Haughan, local seaman reported lost from the Gloucester schooner Fanny B. in August, 1926, Haughan's body was sent home in a sealed casket and buried here at that time. Re. cently a Boston newspaper in a purported expose of rum-running' activities claimed that on August 4, the date on which the body of Haughan was supposed to have been washed overboard in a bad storm off Provincetown, the wea- ther bureau reported fair weather, and that "C, E. Johnson," the captain whe signed the telegram to Mrs, Haughan telling her of her husband's death, was an alias "Johnson," the paper said, was lost at sea under another name a year ago. There was no in- auest following the finding of Haughan's body. Men still die with their boots on but usually one boot is on the ac- celerator.
