The party was escorted TO the Bell

phone mechanism. He displayed
much interes. in the hammer that the
busy and strikingly attractive opera

LINKS PRIEST TO MURDER.
New Witness Thinks Man at Scene of
 Crime Was Abbc Dclorme.

Montreal, Feb. 29.---A surprise wit ness, E. Depocas, an automobile painter, was produced by the prose cution yesterday at the trial of the Rev. J. Adelard Delorme in an at tempt to identify the former priest as the murderer of his half-brother, Raoul Delorme.
 The witness told of a man in priest ly costume and profile like that of the defendant whom he had seen at night in closed automobile near the gate of the cemetery where Raoul Delorme's body was found the next day.
 Dcpocas lives opposite the cemetery gate. At ? a. m. on Jan. '. 1922. he testified, he saw closed automobile stop opposite the gate. Then, as it turned, tho car came within twenty five feet of his house into the full glare Of the houselights.
 ''The driver wore the collar of a Roman priest" Depocas declared. Pointing at the accused, he added, His profile seemed 10 resemble that Of Abbe Dclorme."
 The Crown alleges Abbe Delorme killed his relative in order to hide Irregularities in the administration Of the Dclorme estate.
