Now a special Act of Parliament is to be passed to enable one of the highest courts In the land to re-open the case and give the man a new trial. "He may be of alien birth," said The Globe, "a native of a land with which Great Britain was recently engaged in bitter warfare, but Britons insist that he is entitled to what is well and favorably known throughout the world as British justice. And they will see that he gets it." Have we, right here in Canada, a case analogous to that of Oscar Slater? The Toronto Star, in its issue of Dec. 10, dealt editorially with the Aemilius Jarvis case in a manner which will be of interest to all Canadian readers. Following The Star editorial in full: "The friends of Mr. Aemilius Jarvis in Toronto and throughout the province are still pressing upon the Ontario government and the federal government at Ottawa their representations that Mr. Jarvis has suffered a great injustice and that the wrong should be righted in so far as that is possible. The sum of $200,000 was collected as a fine from Mr. Jarvis and is now being held by the province, subject to court direction as to its disposal. He also served a period of imprison- "The friends of Mr. Jarvis are pressing for a new trial--a new trial at which could be produced decisive new evidence that was not available for his defense at his former trial. "Mr. Jarvis was tried in October, 1924, and acquitted by the jury of all charges except that of having "conspired" with others in connection with bond sales. A year later Mr. Andrew Pepall was tried (Nov. 1925), and evidence was produced that completely demolished the basis for the conspiracy charge against Mr. Jarvis. The evidence that was available in the Pepall trial and which caused the acquittal of Pepall, with whom Mr. Jarvis was supposed to have wrongfully conspired, would completely exonerate Mr. Jarvis. "This new evidence consists of detailed proof by Mr. Pepall of the disposal he made of $149,932 of bonds, which, at the Jarvis trial and in the absence of Pepall, were supposed, in the theory of the prosecution, to have been passed on to Peter Smith as a bribe. This injurious suggestion the defense ■raid not dispose of at that time. A year later at the Pepall trial it Case of Aemilius Jarvis Dec. 5th, The To- j was disposed of completely, at length with the ' "At the second trial evidence was iter, who recently , produced showing that the law firm ;" Eng- of Blake, Lash, Anglin & Cassels had revised the document wherein it was agreed between Jarvis and the Drury government that the remuneration of Jarvis was to be in the profit made on the re-sale of the bonds to the province. At the second trial, too, Mr. Drury and Mr. Doherty appeared as witnesses and confirmed this as the agreement that had been entered upon. The price to be paid was fixed in advance at 80 for one lot and 90 for each of two other issues. There could, therefore, be no conspiracy and no bribing of Smith to accept bonds at prices fixed long before in the written agreement between Jarvis and the government. In these bond transactions Mr. Jarvis had not met nor dealt with Smith at all, but with the premier and cabinet. "The Star has on several occasions declared its belief that a very grave wrong has been done Mr. Aemilius Jarvis. His bond transactions were entirely in keeping with his agreement with the government, and notwithstanding all that has been said about thon'e transactions an accounting woo.nl show that the net result of ! .i was a gain of several million .hilars to the province. "Mr. Jarvis has suffered a gr-at injustice and is surel-v entitled ;.o a new trial at which would be-available much important evidence that was not procurable on the former occasion. • "It is believed by the friends of Mr. Jarvis that the federal'Minister of Justice could pud should inter- USED CARS FOR SALE Mclaughlin touring car--Good running order, 5 good tires, almost new battery, cushions in good condition, also top and curtains.

The case is an g.srario one, the administration el' jusi.i •• is In the hands of the province. »; the friends of Mr. Jarvis sh','-' i press their case on the attention of the Ontario government. Prewi»r Ferguson and the attorney should, on an examination ot t;,-> evidence produced in the r«vail case, clearly perceive that there is every ground for the granting of a ■trial of the Jarvis case. This being the case and the miscarriage of justice having occurred during proceedings for which the attorney-general's department were officir.liy responsible, that department ought to accede to the request of Mr. Jarvis' friends that it intimate to the minister of justice its acquiescence in their application for a new trial. Nor is it only the personal friends of Aemilius Jarvis who ild concern themselves in the matter, but all those people in the city and in the province who pride themselves in our courts and in the administration of justice among us. The case is up for consideration and nothing can be more injurious than a lethargic public opinion unwilling to exert itself and ready to i wrong remain unrighted be-e doing anything about it may involve a little trouble," It's all right to say money isn't everything, but when it comes to settling past due bill it's a mighty good thing to have.
