AK MOON FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER Sentence is Postponed and Second Murder Charge is Pending. A despatch from Belleville says: -- David Arthar Moon was at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon found guilty of ation by the jury on the indictment McGie, accountant, at 10 o'clock on the night of April 6, in Lattimer's drug store here, When the verdict journed sentence > until Saturday morn- ing. Crown Prosecutor J. A. Munro of London, after a consultation of coun- sel and judge, left for Toronto to con- sult with Attorney-General Nickle in regard to the case. A second murder charge is pending against Moon, arising out of the shoot- ing of Clayton McWilliams, drug clerk inthe Lattimer store, the same right. Jt was stated on Thursday night that having been found 'guilty of man- slaughter, can be tried on the second capital charge. Moon smi'ed broadly when the fore- man of the jury, F. E. Brown of Madoc, announced the verdict. fence counsel, Hugh J. Macdonald, turned and amiled - at the prisoner. The contention of the defence was that | the shooting" of McGie followed that of McWilliams, and that both were | accidental, Mr. Justice Kelly, in his charge to the jury, said that evidently there was bad feeling between McWilliams and | Moon, but hone to show that such was the case between MeGie and Moon. | When a man was killed, even by acci- dent; that is murder, even if the mur- derer has no intent to kill the man. As to insanity, continued the judge, a man must be incapable of knowing' right from wrong at the time of the tragedy, and the onus of proof rests upon the defence. Drunkenness was no excuse for crime. Moon's sudden' | prompting in his own mind, through drink to go over to see McWiliams | on the night of the crime was no ex- cuse to kill.

A despatch from Chicago says:-- Plans for a great new lake covering t| 50,000 square miles, capable of main-| | taining the original level of the Great Lakes, and providing an income of more than $16,000,000 from water power alone, were described before the Izaak Walton Leaghe of America here on Thursday night by C. Lorne Camp- bell, Canadian engineer, By the construction of the two dams, one on the Albany River, which flows into Hudson Bay, and the other on the Ogoki River, main tributary of the Albany, Mr. Campbell estimated that the lake formed thereby would have a watershed of more than 100,000°square miles. A cut from the basin to the south into Lake Nipigon, which emp- ties into Superior, would assure the Great Lakes a yearly minimum flow of 20,000 cubic feet of water a second. At flood period the flow wou'd be 30,- 000 feet a second. himself lost five sons in the war. The speaker, who said he had h had no connection whatever with any political, Provincial, national or inter- national body, stated that the new lake, which would be north of Lake Superior, in addition to eliminating the dredging problem facing: cities on the Great Lakes, would increase hydro-electrie capacity at the St. { Lawrence = probably 500,000 horse- power; at Niagara in excess of 850,- i 000 horsepower; at the Sault Ste. ; Marie, more than. 50,000 horsepower, | and onthe Nipigon 200,000. -- pre Toronto Has Population of 670,945 Greater Toronto has has a population of 670,945, according to a report of the Assessmient Commissioner.
