mrs nolan's blood was group a and rh-positive harvey's blood was group 0 the doctor said he examined harvey and scrapings were taken from his tingernails in the dirt and_grime he found traces of a

1955 she had lived as man and wife with john easton and sluggo smith to review the most important measures adopted by the legislature during the present session and he no doubt will comment on changes have taken place in the community in general we stopped to have a chat and were leaning on the rail which turned out to be the one where the gangplank goes au mr smith said he had heard that a man named john beaver burrows had played a leading role in the rescue of the men overboard burrows it will be recalled was the one who saved a man from urawning in st george's harbour on the day of the west end sail boat race from somerset last month on saturday night he is reported to have jumped off the stern of the chauncey to help in the rescue await soviet response this is in the belief or hope

boat as it went by me while i was in the water easton left the nolan home when he was imprisoned whereupon harvey not only took the room but the place of easton the prosecutor said he added while it was not neces sary to prove a motive one could be jealousy — because when easton came out of pri son he visited mrs nolan and harvey was t^ere there had also been an prgument be tween ihe accused and mrs nolan over money continued on page 6 it seemed that after five minutes the chauncey stopped the principal witness yes terday afternoon was john easton who said he had lived with mrs noland for
