In statement made to The Patriot,
Prosecuting Attorney Z. c. Morse
said: Ten or dozen witnesses were

dent that nearly every witness knew
more than he would admit, and ought
to have realized in answering ques-
tons that he was under oath, yet the
fact remains that, with one or two ex-

a single person whom he saw in the
disorderly crowd. As a result of this,
there is no evidence that can be
brought before the court. as far as
present indications are concerned.
Those who were on the street and
saw what went on seem to be III the

K. OF c. STAFF IN CAMP
Knights Entertain Friends On Shore
OF Ouadic Pond

If an unusual number Of automo-
biles have been noticed going east this
week. perhaps it is due to X. OF G.
camp on the shore of Quadic pond.
Here three Knights, A. J. Brodeur. A.
J. Brousseau and NJ. J. Daigle, all
members of District Deputy Mullan's
staff, are enjoying an outing at A. }.
Blanchette's cottage.
The party fishes--some, and catches
fish--a few, but as they have been
having company nearly every day the
fish have been allowed to go hungry
through neglect. During the week
the district deputy himself honored
the camp by his presence. he was
served a fine fish dinner but no one
knows just where the fish came FROM
although they were of the fresh water
variety and might have been caught IN
Quadic pond-by someone.
Although the three Knights have
been urged TO remain and keep open
house for the rest of the summer, they
have decided to return TO civilization,
and will be back on their jobs next
Monday morning, standard time.

die end of the ell of the house was
qdite badly burned on the outside, the
fire did not reach the interior.
