The Public Not Competent to Pass Judgment Upon Them. Niagara Falls, June 1.--The com- mittee on legislation and by-laws re- ported to the Ontario Medical Assoc- iation that the practitioners of the province would welcome such amend- ments to the Ontario Temperance Act as would make eight ounces of any spirituous liquor the amount permis- sible by prescription, and that firug- gists should be compelled to keep some in stock for the convenience of the people. education suggests that the assooth- tion itself seriously consider the ad- visability of the formation of a fund for promoting postgraduate study. The committee also was of the opin- ion that an increase in the number of licensing and degree-conferring bodies is not desirable. It urged that the Dominion Medica] council be id- entified with or transformed into the Canadian College of Physiclahs and Surgeons, and that whatever other degree this proposed body grants there be one for the general practi- tioner who has been practising for five or more years and who intends to continue general practise, but at the same time pay special attention to some one line of work. The committee on interrelations of the 'medical profession and the pub- lic recommended that specialists should take a course in a recognized place where special work and special exstnations are conducted. "The pub- lic does not know the qualifications ~f these men, and is not competent to pass judgment upon them. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario should have a definite de- partment for the licensing of special- ists." PEGGY A BIGAMIST HER HUSBAND CHARGES James 8.

Givens, retained to defend the accus- ed man, asserts that Dr. Allen. will plead justification under the unwrit- ten law. According to the attorney Gardenhire was warned several days before the killing to leave Mrs. Allen alone, Givens said the defense would prove that Gardenhire's _ relations with Allen's wife were improper. The circumstances of the killing suggest that both the slayer and the victim were drunk when it occurred. Gardenhire "was beaten into insensi- ofiity about 10.30 in the evening. His assailant struck him over the heai with a heavy glass pitcher filled with fruit. He fell without a struggle and then was beaten over the head with a poker.

On three | occasions Mr. Gaetz had seen Gar- | field out of his cell jn the corridor, | mingling freely with his mother and wife and Ball, - The guard had left the key of the cell on the window ledge and he had poked it into a crack in the mortar as a clothes peg from which to hang the coat of Norman's wife, Garfield had even had it in his hand in pres- ence of Mr. Gaetz. Not apparently realizing how he might be prosecuted for criminal negligence, in connection with the escape, Mr. Gaetz admitted that these key incidents seemed carelessness to him, yet stated he had refrained from speaking to Turnkey Robley, fearing to lose his influence with Garfield when he had found out that his spiritual adviser was a spy. "Did it occur to you, Mr. Gaetz, at any time in your. visits to this man that there was apparent break- ing of the regulations in regard to these keys?" asked Mr. Dunlop. "It was after the question of the newspapers regarding how Garfield could. have known that Ball carried a key that I recollected this," said Mr. Gaetz.

Gare field then went over and picked up the key, put it back, and then Ball followed and put it in his pocket. "How many times do you recollect having seen Garfield out in the cor- ridor?"" "Three times." A dramatic moment occurred when Inspector Dunlop frankly accused the Methodist minister of cowardice when he made no attempt to hold the prisoner bick at the outside doo: as he was making his escape. Norman's mother and his wife were examined in camera. They both denied knowing anything whatever about any attempt to escape. Al though Norman's wife admitted he: husband had made the remark thai "it would be an easy jail to walk out of," she did not remember, she said, that she had ever told Mr. Gaetz this. They both denied having given the prisoner money at any time. To Supt. Rogers, Sheriff McGhee admitted finding twenty-three do! lars on Garfield at Georgetown in an inside vest pocket.
