There was a second shot and Philippe became unconscious. I saw blood coming from his head. The bullet had struck him. I then got up and placed him on the bed, but he was dead. Swears to Attack. Could you tell the jury whether Pldlippe Lafontaine committed suicide or whether lie was shot accidentally? asked the coroner. Forbes said it was not suicide. Where did Lafontaine get the pistol?" I am sure that I dont know. 1 never saw the weapon before, replied Forbes. Are you able, under oath, to state positively that Lafontaine had attacked you with a knife several times and then with a revolver? asked the coroner. 1 es, I swear, God help me. Did you cut the body of Philippe with a knife nnd saw the bones after he was dead asked the coroner times, but each time Forbes replied: I do not remember." Would it be possible for ygu to do this .f you had been momentarily insane? asked the coroner. Forbes again replied: I do not know. Forbes then said that he remembered having bought a trunk and placing the body In it He placed the trunk in his clothes cupboard and left the house.

Allan Forbes, thirty-fiv..ears old, of 185 Sherbrooke street East, Montreal," has been formally charged with the death and mutilation of Philippe Lafontaine, eighteen, his roommate for a year and a half. Forbes was arraigned in the local courthouse, where proof that be killed and cut up young Lafontaine, was found to be not entirely decisive although the chain of circumstantial evidence was almost so, writes Stanley Jackson In the Chicago Tribune. The case represents the most gruesome murder ever tackled by the provincial police of this province. Early in the month of May pieces of human flesh and bones, wrapped in seventeen different parcels, with both French and English newspapers published it Montreal, were discovered on a small island just off the . southeast end of the island of Montreal. Later two packages containing other parts of the same body were found three miles downstreum, having been carried by the current The last package to be located by the police was found near Gentilly, 125 miles east of Moutreal, and contained a leg and a foot Covers Up With Paint Police working on the case found that a Montreal youth had been missing since a few days prior to the discovery of the chopped ip body. Searching the apartment where the youth had lived with Forbes for the last eighteen months, detectives came upon a small room, freshly painted with the brightest red paint available, and with new wall paper put up. Removing the latter, the police found some splutter-ingof blood. A chair and table also had been painted red to bide blood e , s stains. Identification of the mutilated body rtant to clinch the proof, is missing. lieved to hold the missing head. Forbes gave an incoherent story at the arraignment, lie remembered with Lafontaine and quarreling claimed the youth had been shot during a struggle after Lafontaine had attacked him with a revolver. Despite repeated questioning, he said he did not remember cutting up the body. Telle of Early Attack. I reside at 185 Sherbrooke street East, near City Hall avenue, said Forbes, on the fourth floor of the building. I lived with Philippe Lafontaine, eighteen years of age, for over eighteen months. When my lease for the apartment house expired on May 1 1 renewed it again, and Philippe did not seem to have any objection to this. . Philippe had no relatives but three brothers, whom he did not see for some time. Because be was my chum I paid all his clothing and living expenses. Some days after I had renewed my lease Philippe tried to strike me with a knife which he had secured from some one, and It .was only because I was older and stronger that I wits able to disarm him; otherwise he might have killed me, said Forbes. Hinted. . he For a while remained quiet, and he acted though abnormally I began to think that he had forgotten about wanting to do me bodily harm.

They were convinced that the germ lives over winter largely in pear trees and was disseminated from them in the following spring to nearby apples. In this belief they were partly sustained by the fact that scientists for about thirty years had supposed the germ to overwinter almost entirely In blight cankers situated on lnrge limbs or on the trunk. Inasmuch as such cankers are relatively rare on apples and are very common on pears, then it is quite obvious, If the scientists supposition were correct, that the pear tree offers exceptionally favorable eonditiors for overwintering the germ and disseminating it to other hosts. a desirable cover crop to In orchards.
