He will probably come before Judge Cumberland in a few days for speedy trial.Mr. Prior, owner of the store, was called and identified the goods as those stolen from his store on the night of the 15th of September.Mrs. A. J. Anderson, with whom prisoner lodged at the time of his arrest was next called. Witness appeared unwilling to give evidence, but on being questioned by Crown Prosecutor Mathewson, admitted that she had missed a valise from premises soon after having been told by her husband that one had been removed. She could not identify the one produced, saying that prisoner had three or four such bags in his possession.Chief of Police McIntyre of Portage, spoke to finding the valise in Davis’ room on the day after his arrest.Elsie Growb, in the employ of Prior, gave evidence as to having seen the goods in Houssain's store about two weeks after the burglary, and was afterwards called upon to identify more particularly, which she did by the aid of a small blood stain on one piece of silk and the manner in which another piece had been cut. She recog nized all the patterns.Frank Houssain, to whom the pri soner sold the silks for $50, was ask ed by Magistrate Bates before giving evidence if his conscience was bound by the Bible. Witness replied in the affirmative.He told the court that Davis had sold him the silks and recognized the satchel in which DaVis had carried them-Mr. Albert Churchill, who employed prisoner in his barbershop prior to Davis arrest, remembered Davis bringing in a valise on a certain Saturday referred to and leaving it in the store from 7 until 11 in the evening, whenCipleaHerBUCCshov agai hust to tl cour pen it is Ame the a sh their couri ed flt; “E if’s i set c anal} by ii thisJoChi a mil Amer than ment of thlt; raontl leagult; ahead tenda last g Pre plan 1 provic in ea series leader he sa stimu]Maa he ostensibly took it home.
