FOR MANSLAUGHTER Charged With Causing Death of Jean 8nider--Case In Jury's Hands. The charge of manslaughter against Charles Powless, came be- Logie and jury at 9.30 _ Wednesday and was given to] the jury shortly before ome-o'clock. The public wiis excluded from the court room. Evidence was produced for the Crown to show that the late Jean Snider was seen with the prisoner at the latter's taxi-stand on the evening of July 30th, when an illegal opera- tion is alleged to have been. per- formed. Though shortly before the deceased had appeared in perfect health, she soon became shied with violent pains and the next day gave birth to a child about three or four months old. She was removed to the General Hospital where she died on August 6th. T. J. Rigney, K.C., called as a witness, presented the statement of the dying girl in which she put the whole blame for her death on the operation performed by the prisoner, The injection of bi-chloride of mer- cury with a syringe was claimed to have been the method employed: Several medical men called by the Crown stated that the deceased showed evidence of having been bad- ly burned with a caustic. After death her kidney tissue showed in- flammation and obstruction cor- responding to mercury poisoning. The only witness for the defence was the prisoner, who claimed that, though he bought the syringe and the bi-chloride tablets for the. de- ceased, she herself had performed the alleged operation. The Crown was represented by Charles Payne, of Belleville, and the defence sonducteq by W. M.

J. Bidwéll, Kingston, Bishop of Ontario, told a large gathering in St. George's parish hall last night.

The Bishop of Onta- rio spoke as chairman of the dele- gation which the Canadian church sent to England during the past summer to confér with the commit- tee which the church there had ap- pointed to take up the new work of empire migration. Bishop Bidwell expressed the hope that in the future the word "migration" would be used instead of "immigration," which had become somewhat repulsive to many and did not represent the idea of moving from one part of the empire into an- other, The Church in England had awak- ened to the importance of a prone overseas settlement of church peo in-order to existing In and Tn order to do away with a great deal of overlapping: among the existing societies, Bishop Bidwell said he had found that the cost of passage to"Canada was a large factor in de- terring people from coming here. Despite 'the six weeks it took to get to Australia, the cost of passage there was but fifteen pounds; to New Zealand twelve. Yet the pas- sage to Canada was eighteen pounds.
