TREE XEXXXXIXXIXIZIXZIAAAA IAAL c41-42-43-44 occasions you have been sentenced and the punishment under the law must be adequate and it must serve as a protection to the state," said His Lordship. Close to Murder : "Mind you, you were within six inches of standing in that box in- dicted with murder, so close did 'you come to shooting the bank manager When you are in jail think of how lucky you were that you were not indicted for murder." It was at this point that Bertrand partially collapsed, but soon re- gained his composure. Justice Chev- rier then pronounced the sentence of 15 years each in Bl@rtsmouth peni tentiary. The spectators filed from the courtroom and the sentenced men were led off to a cell in the jail there to await transfer to the peni- tentiary in the course of a few days or a week. 1 : In opening his charge to the jury Justice Chevrier reminded. them of their duty, saying that they were to give a true verdict according to the evidence: "I congratulate you and thank you for the manner in which you have listened to this drawn out trial,' commenced Justice Chevrier. =a "As the result of investigations conducted by the police, the Crown has submitted to you the evidence the police gathered. From the facts it is for you to say if these two men are guilty of the crime with which they are charged. The Crown must prove them guilty beyond a reason- able doubt." He then explained the meaning of reasonable doubt. "If there is no reasonable : doubt in your minds it is your duty to re- turn a verdict accordingly. The in- dictment is a joint one and the evi- dence was submitted jointly," con- cluded His Lordship. The jury then retired. Sedgewick's Summary Mr. Sedgewick's address lasted one hour and fifteen minutes. "We now come to the end of this long trial. I want to thank you for your kind attention and patience," com- menced Mr. Sedgewick. "1 will point out to you the hold- up was planned. The theory of the Crown is 'that they stopped on the Loucks road to make final arrange- ments for the hold-up and to put 1935 license markers on the car. They put the license plates on with white tape, some of which was later found in Bertrand's car. They also put on their disguises at this point. "Tt is probable that Latreille tore the hat band from the hat so it would fit down on his bushy head more snugly. You are entitled to treille's residence we found a grey felt hat without a sweatband. We found that a hat with the initials N.L. in the sweatband had been de- livered to Latreille's home some time previous. Then you have the evidence of the chemist who ex- 'mined the hat piece by piece. He had. no hesitation in saying that the hat which was found in the La- treille's apartment was the one from which the sweatband came. Isn't that conclusive enough evi- dence to connect Latreille with the crime and does it not fit in like a piece of a puzzle into the picture? Bertrand's Friend "I brought out the evidence of Florence Fauteux unwillingly. She was Bertrand's friend. She received letters from him while he was in jail. Isn't her story as she told it an unwilling one--only the more damaging. ; "He said to her he mussed up the car and changed the plates. Can you avoid that? This is cnemy witness. This is one who likes him and probably loves him. "He wanted to boast te his girl about the holdup. He wanted to tell her he held up the bank and fooled the police. He was a braggart. "You cannot aveid the conclusion that they are both guilty and your verdict should be one of guilty," concluded Mr. Sedgewick. i Defence's Plea Asking for the acquittal of Ana- tole Latreille, Mr. Woods said that the identification of Latreille by Norval Kay, bank clerk, was highly unsatisfaetory. He also said that no proof had been abduced, That La- treille had ever purchased a hat, such as police found in his home. Defence counsel declared that two Crown witnesses, Eugene Blondin and Oscar Sauve, had sworn that Bertrand was at his taxi stand in Hull at 1.30 o'clock the day of the holdup. This evidence automatically proved that he could not possibly have participated in the Russell bank attempted robbery. Mr. Woods stated also 'that evi- dence given by Miss Florence Fau- teux to the effect that Bertrand had admitted staging the holdup not be considered seriously since her under duress. Mr. Woods declared himself dis- satisfied over the manner in which both prisoners were identified in the police lineup at the L'Original jail. He submitted that sinece- there was a reasonable doubt that either of the accused had taken part in the attempted looting of the bank that it was the jury's duty to bring' in a verdict of acquittal. not an & could |. statements were given to police Besarnies Eve Service Thirty-five years of succelstul Optical Practice should guide your footsteps fo Beattie's Eye Service, cor.
