Villeneuve told the court that "when Harry Con- stable (former License Inspector who was later murdered) wanted to make a raid he did not get off ped off at the rear end', and he was expecting Constable and THURSDAY, APRIL 4th, 1929 formerly Weatherall (Provincial Officer, located at Cochrane) that night. Villeneuve had seen Third Suit Against Railway "young Moffatt" pick up the suit- cases, he said. He told Mr. Laid- Heard Here by Justice Raney law that Alexander had been in (Continued irom Page 1) ith toes still in it. He had not the liquor business, although not handling the stuff himself, but having agents. Robitaille, who picked it up, he said, for he was|was said by witness to have been "nervous." Villeneuve's evidence was the feature of the morning session. He was giving his story for the first time, not having appeared at either of the previous trials. Vil- leneuve told the court he had been subpoenaed only a week be- fore, but he declared he had not come forward because of his bus- iness relations with Bill Johns- ton, station agent for the C.N.R. at Kapuskasing, whom he allow- ed ten per cent on automobiles sold. Witness admitted to Mr. Slaght that he had been known at ne time as "The King of the Pootleggers" around Kapuskas- ing, he told Mr. Laidlaw he had been "in the bootlegging busi- ness" in 1925, subsequently had sat on the Town Council, and he convulsed the court when he de- clared that his former place 'she's now the liquor store build ing, but then she was the boot- legging building." Acording to this witness, he had spent two 30-day terms in jail, one at North Bay and one here, but he informed Mr. Slaght, in answer to one question that he was a "decent citizen" and he re- pudiated the lawyer's suggestion that "you were too yellow to go and help him," the reference be- ing to Alexander after he _ had been hurt by the train. Ville- neuve declared he had not seen Alexander at the time, but he had seen what he described as "two things black," and which he later had noticed were suitcases. and which apparently had been tossed from the train. At that time, witness had been squatting at the freight sheds "watching for the Provincial Police," as he had ex- af& ~, pected a load of liquor in that night. From his vantage point ie he claimed to have noticed a number of things. "Were you in the wholsale, re- tail, or jobbing business?" asked Mr. Slaght, rising to cross-exam- ine I am Nap. Villeneuve", replied witness, amid laughter, and his working for him in various capa- cities, had helped him in his liq- uor business, witness said, and he told the court that he, Villeneuve, was both wholesale and retail and that he bought the stuff in quan- tities and sold it "by the can or by the glass." Evidence given for the defence during the Wednesday afternoon session was very largely a repe- tition of testimony heard at one or other of/the earlier trials. Mrs. S. Bigouette again told of having seen Alexander walking through the first-class car, which she had boarded farther east, when the train neared Kapuskas- ing, and she had not seen him re- turn, she declared. Dan Filion, fur buyer, who had got on at Fau- quier, and who denied having |bought any liquor ga the train, told the court plaintiff had gone back through the first-class car after the train left Moonbeam (the stop before Kapuskasing), and witness said that, as the train was approaching Kapuskasing, he had seen Ferguson, the front-end brakeman, opening one of the four outside doors between col- onist car and the first-class coach. That door was the north-west door of the latter car; the others were closer, witness swore. The evidence of Ferguson, kill- ed in the recent smash at Dro- court, was admitted by consent between counsel, and Mr. Laid- law's motion for non-suit was not granted by His Lordship. Lucien Moffatt repeated the story he had previously told when he stated that, on the night of the accident, he had been hiding be- hind a box car in the yard watch- ing for liquor, and he said he had seen two suitcases containing al- cohol thrown from the train. He had taken the stuff, he said, but he had no partner in the business. To the judge, this witness said he "was supposed to steal it." He had-treated his friends, he said, but had not sold any of 'the liq- uor, nor had he taken any of it to his father's hotel.

Three brothers of Mrs. Bigou- ette swore they had found Alex- ander lying on the tracks about 15 feet west of the crossing. That Alexander himself was bringing a supply of liquor with him on the train and that he (wit- ness) was at the crossing to meet him, was the testimony of Fred. Lafleur. Alexander had arranged with him, he said, to leave the train at the crossing, but he had missed his step and had rolled un- der the wheels. Lafleur had sent for help and had picked up a par-' cel containing two gallons of al-! cohol and had gone away. He was closely questioned by Mr.! Slaght on his past record, and he! admitted he*had spent 30 days in Haileybury jail last year and that at the age of ten, he had been sent to the Reformatory at Mon- treal for assaulting his mother with an axe. This was in 1908, when he lived at Maniwaki, and he spent three years in the insti- tution, where he learned shoe- making. Asked why he had de- nied, at the first trial, this term, he said he "was not in jail, but in a Reformatory," and he claimed that, as regards his trade, he had just started to learn it in Montreal.
