She was re- inded for sentence, She asked for an adjournment on the hearing, which had been * originally scheduled for iast June's sittings. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck "opposed this. She had no lawyer. She had no access to a person in Monc- « 'ton, New Brunswick, who she felt would be her key defence witness. ** There was no lawyer repre- --#enting her, the Crown explain- ed and illustrated with corre- "spondence, because she had re- fused to attend legal aid coun- 'sel Hugh O'Connell's office to} discuss the case with him. | A second-lawyer dropped the) stion as well, the Crown explain- stolen wristwatches, was held on April 6 of this year. "We will have to go on," said « Judge Hall. "This matter has to be disposed of." Mr. Affleck called six Crown witnesses. Miss Walsh refused to cross-examine any of them. Miss Walsh called no wit- nesses, to back up her plea of "not guilty". She didn't take in stand in her own behalf. She didn't give a summation of the case in answer to the one propounded by Mr. Affleck. Walter Pojasok of 'Walter's Watch Repair' on Simcoe street south in Oshawa told the Court that his $180 double-thickness, front display window was smashed sometime between 7 p.m, on March 7, and 2 a.m. on March 9 (a weekend).

(In most other types of trials, the record cannot be used against the accused.) Both Mr. Affleck and Judge Hall exhorted the jury to con- sider the record only in the forementioned light, and not in judging her guilt or lack of it. She had three convictions of theft, and two of possession, In his address to the jury, His Honor called the case "delicate"' due mainly to the absence of defence counsel. There was a double-duty imposed on him, he said, to see that the rights of the | accused were protected. | "Miss -Walsh's attitude ts: 'Why should I try to defend jwhat the law presumes -- my | innocence',"" he said, "It is your |duty, not to find her innocent or guilty, but guilty or not guilty, on the evidence." After the verdict was brought in, His Honor commented: "I have never seen a more clear- cut case." Miss Walsh, the tears now |pouring down her face, was. led jfrom the docket and placed in jcustody.
