PICIURE CASE HCARD IN THE POLICE COURT ON WED. SNESDAY MORNING And Pnlarged For a Day--The Ma- gistrate Said He Was Convinced That Fraud Had Been Committed. "You may have been an angel and have letters of recommendation from archbishops; bishops and governor- generals, and then go wrong, and court you have gone wrong,' were the words of Police Magistrate Farrell, when enlarging the case of John Collins, - picture agent, who was charged by Mrs. Mary Hay, Queen street, in police court on Wednesday morning with obtaining money un- der false pretences. A, B. Cunningham who appeared on. behalf of Collins, asked that the case be eplarged until Thursday morning to allow the accused to get another witness who was present when the agent employed by Collins took the order for the picture in des- putes Mrs. Hay, the first witness called, told of the agent employed by Col- lins calling at her 'home and selling her a picture which he said would be an oil painting. He stated that it was EE ARMENIANS PUT TO SWORD RE- | GARDLESS OF AGE OR SEX, i Turkish Scheme To Exterminate the | Entire Race Is Being Ruthlessly | Carried Into Effect. i London, Aug. 18.--The Daily News | has received from Aneurin Williams, MP., a copy of a letter from Con- stantinople, dated July 13th, further | describing the terrible plight of Ar-| menians in Turkey. The letter says: | "We now know with certainty | from a reliable source that Armen-1 a5 | 18ns-have been deported in a bedy from all towns and villages to the desert regions south of Alop. Re- fugees will have to traverse on foot a distance requiring marches of from | one to two or even more months. We learn besides that the roads and Eu- | phrates River are strewn with corp- | ses of exiles ,and those who survive | are doomed to certain death, since | they will find neither house, work | nor food in the descrt. It is a plan to exterminate the whole Armenian! nation, | "Court-martials * operate every-| where without cessation.

He distinctly stated, she testified, that it was neither chalk, crayon nor ink. He asked the sum of $2.98. He also showed her what it would be like and got her to sign a sheet of paper which, according to the opinion of the Court, was valueless; "1 gave him the photo of my son but the firm never returned it. When asked for the photo Collins stated that it would have to be taken off his dead body." "The agent who got the order did not return but Collins did," said Mrs. Hay. "He came with the proof in a case with my son's picture on one side of the case and an oil paint- ing on the other. My daughter was with me at the time but Collins was alone, ; Mr. Givens who appeared for Mrs. Hay, interjected at this point: "Col- lins told you that the offer was only for the benefit of soldiers' wives and mothers. ~~ A nice patriot he is." nT tinued the witness, "he said that it was only the first proof and that he would get the color of hair and eyes, and the picture would be finished in Toroato, but would have to pay. him Some money so as to cover the cost of the material." Mrs. Hay stated that sho gave him $2 and got a receipt, and was to pay the rest when the picture was fin- ished. He also signed her up for a frame for the same, which "he cmimed was worth five dollars but that he would give it to her for $4. picture," testified Mrs. Hay, "I in- formed him that it was not an oiling' painting and he rémarked: "What do you expect to get for your mon- ey?' I refused to take the picture.' " ¥ Cross-examined by Mr. Cunning- ham, witness swore that she did not order the frame although she ac- kuowledged that she signed a sheet which the company handed her. She told of holding the man in the house and sending a young girl to call the police, who came to her home. | Mrs, Anson, daughter of the rom plainant, Correborated the statement of her mother. | Magistrate Farrell, in summing up the complainant's side of the case, sald that Collins did not produce the oiling painting, which he had agreed to do. The paper which he got the woman to sign was not binding. The Magistrate also stated that Collins would have to go a long way to con-| vince him that a fraud was not at-| tempted. The Court was about to dispose of the case when Mr. Cunningham called Collins to the box, The lat- ter told of only making one picture in oil in Kingston for which he was pald $75. © Hz did not misrepresent the goods. At this point of the procedure D. A. Givens produced documents which the police court in Toronto for ob- taining money under false pretences, but had made restitution. The agent who took the order from Mrs. Hay was then called. He stated. that he did take an order for an oil painting. He also took oc- casion to inform the Court that he bad Roe n getting notoriety in the lo- cal newspapers which he did not de- zerve.
