Priza who served in the great war with the Serbian army, admitted the stabbing but claimed that it was committed in fear and self-defence. The first witness wau the wounded man, a Ukrainian, whose syes were blackened and who had 1 sheepish air and still looked rather wobbly. He told of the .tarty in his room and the arrival here of Rawka. The tatter issued a general challenge to the men present to wrestle with him md finally one, Dig John, accepted and all went outside to watch. On arrival outside, Dig John declined, to engage in the encounter,, saying, 'No you have a knife, Nick, I don't want to fight." Then Louis himself offered to wrestle and putting hir hand on Priza's shoulder, the lat ter fell down. Accused then satf 'Yeu want to fight" and, drawing his knife, stabbed him, in- .icti.ig, two wounds. Under cross ext.minaVon, Rawka explained his present black eyes by declaring that he had fallen down a flight of steps the ; other day. He denied that he tyifi naa any right in Prince Rupert Previous to the stabbing, he had never had any fight or quarrel I with Prfta. He denied ever having grabbed accused by the throat. He also denied bein the iiiKRressor in the Atiyox fight ! Among those present at ihe farewell party, besides himself and Priza, had been a Russian, a Pole, a Serbian an Englishman and a Jugo-Slav.

Louis grabbed him by the shoulders and then Nick fell down. When he go up, he drew a knife and stabbed Rawka twice, in the abdomen. Rawka, witness said, was usually good tempered. They had been roommates three years. Under cross-examination, Mel-ehuk dented having tripped Priza or hitting him before he left the room. Dan Govan, the strongest man in Anyox, who was reading in a room on the floor above, told of being attracted to h)s window by accused calling Rig John outside to fight Govan gave further details' qf Uie encounter of which he had a full View. When asked by Dig John if he had a knife, accused said l'lok me over," holding up his arms. Louis asked Nick if he wanted to fight and the latter said "I don't want to fight you." Then Louis pushed Nick a little way and Jeaned over his body while holding him. Big John and Steve pulled Louis back in order to leave Nick free. Louis approached him again and Nick went backward and stuck his hand in his right hand pants pocket, drawing a knife and stabbing Rawka twice. Under cross-examination, Govan said that Rawka had not appeared to be rough with accused. Surveyor Witness A. J. Ritchie, a surveyor, who happened to be passing by, was also an eye witness of the stabbing. Before the knifing, Priza had ejaculated: "You think I don't mean it l" The two men appeared to be drunk, the witness said under cross-examination. William Hart, called for cross-examination, testified that he had seen Louis strike accuse on the jide of hi:, face w.th his open hand.

Mr. Fulton stated hat he wourd endeavor "to showi HoW the whole trouble started, hat the. accused was not quarrel-ome but that Rawka was a troublemaker and that 1 the accused, actuated by a real fear of the Polish gang, had acted .ntirely in se'f defence when he drew the knife. Dapalo Vktoria testified that he1 too was a witness of the right As he came along he saw Louis and Nick holding each other. Nick landing on the ground on his back. Attempts were made by John and Steve Vo take Louis away. Louis said wo or three times that he wanted to fight Nick and finally got way and swung on him. Then iccused said: "You mean it? You want to fight? All right then look -Ut" Then Nick made, two oasses at Rawka below the belt. In answer to a question by Prank Morris, one of the jurymen, witness said that it would have been quite possible for accused to run away. There were .wo roads he could have followed and hia back was not to a all. Accused on Stand; Accused swora that lie had been drinking heavily a day or .wo previous to the episode. He .vas on his way to his room In ihe bunk house when some one :Sl led him in from an open 'oor. He drank more whiskej .nd beer thare and then some one mookod him for "fighting foi his Kinjr" in the war and said he (accused", was "no good." Xixused ther- said: "All right 1 lon't wrr.t t:) stay here" and, as le was l;!.iviiir, Bijr John trippped him and others of the party piled a him. Ac used xnu: 'If you .vant to fight, let's ko outside." Vcused cut r th;it he was 'urther assaulted mt.'.ile and was viying to get away. Kawka was .he principal aggressor in the at. luck upon him. Up against it nd excited. accused asserted that he lost his head and remembered no more that happened. He did not remember taking out his knife. He had had previous trouble with Rawka when the latter had gone into his room with an Italian and they had drunk almost all his liquor. There had been on previous trouble on that particular day, however. Accused stated that J.e had no intention of killing but was trying to .get. away. He was very drunk himself and could hardly stand on his feet. Under cross-examination, Priza suggested that he had lost his memory because he had been drinking so much liquor and had been hit so often. Sometimes when he was drunk, he did not know what he was doing. He denied that he had called on Big John to come out and fight before he (accused) had entered the bunkhouse. In his address to the jury, Mr. Fulton laid all the blame for the trouble on Rawka who he said was of a mean disposition and apparently itching to fight. Counsel for the defence expanded on the subject of self-defence on which grounds he asked for an acquittal. In any case, there was clearly no intent ot murder. W. E. Fisher, crown prosecutor. felt that accused was entirely to blame. If accused was so drunk that he did not know what he was doing, then the story he had told in the box must be a fabrication. A man who got mad and stabbed another just because he had been slapped was dangerous tp the community. His Lordship agreed with defence counsel that it was difficult to find evidence which woulc warrant conviction on the chargt of wounding with intent to kill. The judge then gave the jury impartial instructions on four other possible verdicts: 1. acquittal; 2, assault occasioning actuii bodily harm; 3, unlawful wounding; 1, common assault. His Lord ship pointed out, however, that a defence witness had asserted that accused could have got away. He did not see that the fact of crunkennss would make much j difference to any of the possible verdicts except that of attempted murder. The accused was entitled to employ violence as he of his life or bodily injury. The iurv retired at 5.55 to con I mi A 1. It. ,.AHJt., . . . ; .
