Why do we dislike spotters? Why should we have a more kindly feeling towards illicit booze-mak- ers? Again. we ask, why? We are not. saying the Caldwells are innocent. \Ve-are not saying the .deeisien was not in accmdance with the evidence, but we say most emphaticaliy. a bad man may tell a most, plausible story as a witness when it suits his purpose to de so. Did it suit \Vatsnn’s purpose as a self-admitted partner in an illegal undertaking? By turning state evi- dence or by deliberately lying and swearing falsely he might save him. self from fine or imprisonment. We are net saying he lied and perjured himself. We knew from his own evidence he was engaged in an il- legal; business that would put him where he has put the Caldwell’s. ° In the case of Mr. and Mrs. Cald- well. and We held no brief for them, Mr. Caldwell has been known here for a number of years and Mrs. Caldwell and her eight. children have been living here for the last, four nr live vearc.

Why did he have the “worm"? Why the soldering iron? According to Mrs. (lalc‘lwell’s evidence he said he had "little booze before. Accord- ing to his own story he had arrang- ed to go with George Gray to Mitch- ell to engage in the manufacture of swamp whiskey, where “all kinds of money etmld he made.” Is the evi- dence of such a man entitled to any weight in a. court of justice“? We admit he told a good story, gave ap- parently straight evidence, and we further admit that such evidence will carry weight if we know the man to be honest and honorable. In the case of Watson we know nothing about him. only what he tOld in camera and again in the open court. He has been here only a few weeksfi He says he came the day before the, Durham Show, only five or six weeks ago. Watson. the main witness, in fact, the only witness, is not known to the people here. He came here, ac- cr-rdim,r to his own evidence, with a soldering iron and a piece of copper tubing. Whether he suggested the making of booze to Mrs. Caldwell, or whether Mrs. Caldwell made the suggestion to him, we are unable to say, but ”111' opinion as to the orig- inator ol’ the illegal conduct in which they undertook to engage is veiy tirmly lixed in our mind. “'0 have strong reasm to believe a man with a has: of belongings containing‘ a "Worm" and a soldering iron as a part of his kit. a man without mon- ey, a man addicted to the use of strong drink, a man that many peo- ple would be tempted to call an or- dinary tramp, would be first to make the suggestion. We tried to make a report else- where. we are not saying whether they were guilty or innocent of the charges laial against them. We do say, however. that innocent persons could easily be made victims in the same way that Mr. and Mrs. Cald- well have been victimized. If they are guilty, they deserve punishment. But there was only one witness, and who knows the character of that one witness? \\'h}', then, Should there rot he further investigation made before meting out such a heavy pun- imaent? We often at why things are as they are, and following close on the trial against Mr. and Mrs. Charles Caldwell, who between them were mulctetl $300.00 and costs, we ask why should it be, without investi- gating the character of the evi- dem'n? ‘ > “may, Ion-boi- a, "I? ‘3' Mr, and MP3.

We l'fiefened to \\ atson leaxing (tith a [unmise to come back and squaie up his accounts. But. he fail- ed to materialize in the flesh. Mrs. Caldwell then took Watson’s bag of belongings, including the s«;1ldering iron and roll of conper tubing to Magistrate Laidlaw, telling to whom it belonged. Laidlaw, she says, had suspicions of the coil being used in the illicit making of booze About this time W’atson \\ as in the 00011 auaiting his trial to come off on Monday and the magistrate and constables dreamed dreams and sa“ I visions of what the trial would re- veal. To “10 ('nppcl‘ hnilcl‘ purchasml al Hanovci' thc \vm'm was attachml. Tu this a couliling was ncccssary and in company with Mr. Caldwcll, \Vatsmi wont, to Harding‘s hamlwai'c and pmcurcil thc articlc. Tho. still was in rcaclincss, a fire started in thc kitchcn slow and about. a scalci‘ full of the distillcd liquor passed through lhc worm and was collected. \Vatson claims it wasn‘t. vcry good, lmt, "you Ml.” hc says. “it had some kick tn it.” Ag this juncture the contrap- tinn hogan to leak and the prociuns mash had to he thrown out in tlw manure pilv. Sumo was saved, howâ€" ever, and was drunk by Watson and Mrs. Caldwell. He admitted giving Mr. Caldwell a drink. -Watson said the nndistilled stuff was nearlv as good as the stuff that went through the worm. ()myrations were begun, the barrels were put. in the collar, about. half a bag of sugar put in each, tngetlwr with abnut a pail of Hip crushed wheat. To this eight or ten pails of water were added, and at a later'dah- the yeast cake was added, and «ivâ€" volnpmonts awaited. Watson, it was shown, came to the Caldwell home the day before the ,Fall Fair and remained up to Satur- lday, the 20th, when trouble arose ' between him and Mrs. Caldwell. This was the day of Watson’s arrest for being drunk. Mrs. Caldwell claimed he owed a board bill and also money she had loaned him. He left on Sat- urday evening. so she claims. and promised to return and diseha 'ge the debt in the course of an hour or The idea of making a little booze for private use was talked of, he says by him and Mrs. Caldwell. and agreed to. \Vatson says he told her he hadn’t money to get the ingred- ienst and she agreed to get them. Accordingly, according to \“atson‘s story, she procured a bag of crushed wheat at McGowau’s mill, also a bag of sugar and some yeast cakes else- where. Both went together to Han- over. where. two barrels and a cop- per boiler Were, purchased. I This brings us hack to another part of the story. When \Vatson came here he was in company with George Gray, a sort of gipsy who was interested in race horses. Watson in his evidence stated that Gray want- ed him to go to his home in Mitchell where they could engage in the manufacture of booze and make. lots of money out. of it. On coming here. after going to Ualdwell’s home, he deCided not to go to Mitchell with Gray, but. to stay in Durham if he could get work. To Caldwell’s home he brought a bag of belongings. and amongst the articles contained in it was a soldering iron and a coil of copper tubing. The story is a long one, with many ramifications and cuntradictions. but satisfied the magistrate and In- spector Beckett 0f the guilt of tllr accusml, who was taxed $100.00 and costs, or in failure to pay the tine, a term in prison as an alternative. ’ After admitting his guilt, an in- vestigation was-made to ascertain where and from whom Watson got the intoxicant which he said in pleading guilty was home-brew whiskey. His sworn evidence involv- ed Mrs. Charles Caldwell, who. he claimed, furnished the ingregients and assisted him in the manufacture of a low-grade article, but strong enough to produce intoxication. \Vlatson guve what appeared at the time clear and convincing evidence which led to a charge being laid against Mrs. Caldwell, and an invest- igation of the charge was made on Thursday of last week.
