the sudden embrace and kiss, the subseyuent begging for for- £iveness ; the litt\u2019, attentions such ae sending Beauty Roses $ring the girl's illness; # afternoon walks and tea together; the gradual winning f conf! ise and love; the trip to the Old Country at expense to see her people, and her treatment as a princess by all on board the ship, which Ogilvie arranged (what money cai do!); the hailstorm of lottery and cablegrams while she was in Ireland, his request to her to \u201ctake word \u201cwithout going before a clergyman\u201d in the event that he : would be ungble to obtain a divorce; his renewed promise that he would - marry her as soon as he could get a divorce; the presents of jewelry, ' the gifts of flowers, the sending of the girl to New York t purchase clothes for herwelf; the making of his in her favor\u2014these are all features of the case as alleged by Miss Martin and summarized by Judge ow - Bruneau in his judgment as set forth below.AR veil Wag ever a more pitiful self-revelation of weakness, \u2018infatuation, > 2 and infidelity given by a member of Montreal's highest social circles ?We doubt it.Coupled with all these things, Ogilvie's alleghtions that Mies Martin wae his concubine, his mistress, his \u201cwife in nme only\u201d-\u2014 things a MAN does not usually say after he has had hig fill-of pleasure at the expense of a woman's honor, and we have a lurid spot-light a \u201cx ones by Mr.Ogilvie in his action against Miss [the defendant in May, 1919, in the office Martin, a slur, which she indignantly repels.[of Craig, Luther & Irvine, stoskbrokess, but which the judge declared the law did [where she was a stenographer, and whese not compe} the defendant to prove, as va- [the defendant was one the clients.After rious authorities in ancient and modern law | having taken his account elsewhere the de- had agreed that under given circumstances |fendant continued nevertheless to ge to the certain conduct could be legally presumed.|office of Craig, Luther & Irvine, converaing The judge agreed that \u201cplatonic affection\u201d |from time to time with the plaintiff and such an Misg Martin claimed she felt for offering to do her any service of which she Mr.Ogilvie wag an idyllic state, but one [might stand in need.In the early Autumn which was so seldom encountered that the [of 1919 the plaintiff asked the defendant law could not assume it.to arrange an interview with a certain APPEAL 18 INTIMATED, business man, one of his friends, which he Immediately the judgment was rendered | did, and asked her to call at his office and .Salluste Lavery, K.C., of Lavery & Demers, | let him know the result.Miss Martin\u2019 lawyers, intimated an appeal.| \u201cShe went there and thanked him for the Mr.Ogilvie's action against Miss Martin, [trouble be had taken.The next day he though lodged before her counter action, [telephoned her and told Wer he wished her has not yet been decided.to go to his office in the afternoon, which Of such importance to the community [she could not refuses to do after the ser- did Mr.Justice Bruneay.consider the case lvice he had rendered her.To her great that his findings are embodied in a docu- |surprise there was no one else present.| ment of forty felies in which he summarizes The following.day be again telephoned the declaration of the plaintiff, which con- | her to come to his office on her way home tained 157 paragraphs, comprising what {as he had something to tell her which be the juêge terms \u201cune page d\u2019un -roman|could net tell on the phone.She went d'amour.\u201d there and learned only thet the defendant In the commencement of bis.judgment desired at any cost te 56e her every day.Judge Bruneau remarks satiricaily that the, \u201cShe told him that this was putting her defendant has pleaded \u201cfor more ample in a false position in view of her youth, : particulars,\u201d whieh \u2018he could supply per-|if she went to his office without a particu- thrown on the private lives of men who prey upon the daughters of the sonally, ro doubt, in all the particulars notilar reason, and that he was not to imsist, poor to satisfy the lusts of the rich, thrown fn such à way ag'to make the |mentioned in the action.\u201d as she had only gone.there at hig wish to very name of Society stink in the nostrils of decent, clean-minded people.[REVIEWS THE CASE.express her acknowledgment of his aer- \u2018 avi e ° ui Declaring that it would be impossible to vices, at the same time telling him that Court Holds that Miss Martin has » {decide the merit of the defence without \u2018a similar visits would be very inconvenient.co Right to Acti Co recitation of the facts which gave rise to it,| The defendant adimitted he Was Wrong, .igh ction taken, - * | Br.Justice Bruneau related them as fol-| made excusss and biamed hig domestic 4 The inexorable law of the land has deals, Jiimates to \u2018J the value Bf presents he ;

This phenomenon occurs not in New York or Chicago but right here in our beloved Montreal.Elected to protect the people's interests, having a part in the administration of the City, which includes the proper enforcement of law, and stamped with the badge of honor by reason of his being the people\u2019s chosen representative for his ward, one of our Civic Fathers has gotten rich by hand-bookmaking and running a gambling house, which he is doing to-day.In the last five years this Alderman of the City of Montreal must have made a hundred and fifty thousand dollars out of hig handbook.Day by day, rain or shine, he has sat \u201cat the receipt of custom\u201d gathering in the shekels from the poor fools who think they can beat the game, until he has amassed by these unholy means a fortune .Undisturbed by the Police, unafraid of any interference, rejoicing in the possession of a good thing, he has gone his way unmolested and dares to sit in \u201cthe seats of the mighty\u2019 in the City Hall, an unpunished criminal laying down the law for the decent people of the city and sharing in the control of the Police Force which compels other citizens to observe the laws this man breaks with impunity and, apparently, immunity.We are not starting a campaign against the Police in this matter.They are but human, they have their jobs, their families, their future to think about and, if they know about this unworthy Alderman\u2019s defections fro civic virtue, it is almost too much to expect of them that they will in terfere with one of their civic employers.Yet a fellow near by, doing a similar business but on much smaller lines, was raided only quite recently and duly dealt With by process of law.Now, we assure readers that we know this man, his name, his address.We are naturally trying to speak carefully for obvious reasons so that we ask our public to believe that although at present we do not name this Alderman in our colur:ns that we are prepared to do so if it should be necessary.The büsinees is carried on so openly that everybody interested might easily know gbout it.Only lately this bright specimen of Civic Fatherhood gave a party to his fellow-aldermen, when ten or twelve of them attended.They should know all about what goes on there.Frequently there are oyster suppers and to give a little vim and verve to the proceedings there\u2019s always whisky and gin, etc., on hand.We are not quite sure if the admission fee to the oyster suppers covers the price of drinks supplied or separate payment is made for same.But the Alderman is running a \u201cblind pig\u201d also.We could say a lot more but we don\u2019t want to say anything that will indicate either the situation of the premises (for fear of increasing the Alderman\u2019s business) or the name of the Alderman-bookie-bootlegger.All we want to say further is to tell the story of one of this man\u2019s victims.Picture a young man, married, with two or three children, a partner in a fine business from which he drew ten thousand dollars a year, now brought to ruin by this shark and his partners.In a year or little more they have succeeded in getting away from him one hundred and fifty thousand dollars which often was taken from him at the rate of a thousand dollars a on the phrase given.Contractions such as \u201cdon\u2019t\u201d \u201cits,\u201d \u2018\u2018can't\u201d can be used as words.POOR GIRL NEARLY DIED., FRED SHOT LOVERS DEAD.BOTH FELT CUPID'S DART.+ ] These examples wil] sh the idea.: .NEARLY DIED.ipockets, just as they got the other.Then they fired him out, told him {to \u201cclear to Hell out of that\u201d.They took the hair from his furs, as the day, playing the horses.When this big sum was gone all the young man \u2018had left was some real estate.This the Alderman and Co.bought from him and then they got that money away from him and into their own saying is, and also the furs from his heirs.By which the \u201cAlderman When you have thought out your phrase; Will know that we know who the young man is and what the business write it, in ink, on the Coupon below, and\u2018\":e was formerly a partner in.Then cut!

A week later, as the Liquor Commission had given no sign of its being prepared to act on my charges, I publicly said in THE AXE that if the Liquor Commission did not -act in the matter within a week's time, * or if alternatively, the Government did not act, steps would be taken to have the members of the Quebec Liquor Commission responsible for the granting of the ahove-named license.removed from office.So far the Commission has not acted.20° a I am now informed by.my.attorneys thaï before any aetion may by Province of Quebec.Therefore, I take pleasure in asking you to grams this necessary permission sp that action along the lines indicated may immediately be instituted by myself in my capacity of citizen of the Province of Quebec.It being your duty as Attorney General to see that the laws of the province are administered in the public interest and with granted, 2 i .Ihavethe bonortabe, : \u2026 \u2026 29 fo +24 Yose obedient servant, -\u2026 3450712 z 1] ® TT AT 7 JOHN H.ROBERTS, © = w=.- Fi EE Nr TARA Loa Gui \u2018Biter of THE AXE, es 0 A SISA omen TE a hd ts Tne CT instituted against the members of the Liquor Commission permission - to do so must be first secured from yourself, the Attorney General of the Permission sought will be readily = | A ~~ Las ; 3 "]
