As to the a general statement of the tour with statement that any Man clothed with Roer authority could Cloe these a list or places vis lied Aad the Char Acter the work done. 1 then began proper statements made in his Toronto Micier View clause by clause. In reply to Tho charge that he had shown comit Ducu in making his statements Iii Toronto rather than in Winnipeg he said that on the ninth of november last he had said in a Public gathering in this City everything that he had subsequently said in Toronto. There was nothing added in Toronto to the statement which he had made in the pretence of n Large Audle Rico hero. Or. Shearer spoke highly of Winnipeg officials but differed from them on Trio question of the segregation of vice. Enforcement of Law. Two interesting statements Woro made by judge Flo son. In one of these he referred to the allegation Liat it was impossible to to Furce this Law years had been one of the Best for j against prostitutes. He refused to Al a working Man in the City. It was of any discussion of this matter now one of the worst. This was due stating that it was preposterous to to the fact the t girls there were liable suggest that the Law of the country this House on Stree car line. Victoria i. Rooms modern in every Way Tine shrubbery and an acre. Can be purchased with Cash to Ance terms at 7 Pur cent pc Oal to lip no . Pon. Victoria . To be insults by every Rowdy that came along. His wife had been insulted in his presence and Hia sister had also been insulted by two men in her own Yard. He had seen the men insult his sister and had gone out to meet they went off. John. A. Battershill of the foundry for the Vulcan Iron who lives bit 12s Street was recalled to be Cross examine authority could close these 11 24 hours witness came to that with the farthest away Point starting conclusion from what had in i with reference to evidence Given by reported on Victoria with 92 prostitute women. I him on saturday. He stated that lie the places Back this was some of the the a were Folven two weeks notice and had seen two women practically nude on october 3.1 the vice District was Riding on horse Back at 6 o clock in closed. The stated that 42 the morning. Or. Dennistoun asked of the women were to be deported As whether the witness was aware that Jos Angeles and reported ils Way. Report on Partick the i aliens from the mayor s Telegrand it these women had been arrested for was understood that a considerable i this act and had been lined in the How it the St is worked. The mesdames to a Are the mistresses running the houses graft off the inmates. In the next place those who sell to them the Gaudy apparel they Wear charge abnormal prices for the clothing. The real estate Man who bought a House for and sold it for was grafting off the woman to whom he made the Sale. Then i think the amount Reven a taken by the pro Vince after no serious attempt had teen made to Cloae up the liquor dives might very Well be looked upon As graft though it did not go into any individual s pockets. Another Case was that of the payment of s15 per month of the keeper to a private detective Agency for what was called police Protection. So that she in return was Able to blow a whistle and secure an officer to come and rid her House of an undesirable visitor or nne who refused to pay the amount do you charge the City police with i do not. Do you Cliffe any member of the police commission or any official of the the the words the whole wretched business of graft Etc. Do not refer in any Way to of i those word the reporters say the report is accurate. Tupy do not harmonize. Of whether there two women had not been partly clothed whether they had on cloaks. The witness stated that they had rain Coats on but that Tho wind blew Liat Coats Back. Waa de clothing on. But the reply was that places i did not How do you interpret graph i 1 have been quoted was the not Tenet i the others must have court. Or. Battershill had not been City in Canada but the conditions in n regard to social vice i explained that it had special reference to the administration or non mls Truon of the Law in regard to social did you say a nothing about i think 1 said something Liat would justify fac phrase used. In direct narrative strongly suggestive of what were the details on which you cased that the fact hat the criminal Law of Canada was deliberately set aside by otncia.1 classes of the Lity and people gathered into one place on under standing that they would be permit carry on business the criminal is your definition of i should say anything in the Way of exploiting others especially others who Are in such a position that they Are to a Large extent helpless and Vitums of others for profit As the blood parasite takes from its victim flow is the definition applied to this to go. Making a total of about co. Of the remaining 30, some were tired of that Hoo and were going into re occupations. Statement questioned. Or. Dennistoun questioned the statement that such a District could be closed in 24 hours. The took die Lun Nasra As merely meaning that the attn Inis traction could got rid of the houses in a reasonable time if they set u. Or. Shearer went on to Tell of what the salvation army generally and the Church of England in Montreal and could not be enforced. On another occasion he suggested that it was now not Only or. Shearer who was on but the police commission. Or Niston sought to interrupt the argument of or. Shearer when the Judigo intimated that to some extent the scale had already been turned against the police commission. Had not visited institutions magistrate Daly at the conclusion of the sitting sought to make it Clear that or.
