Several items of union activity from the Vancouver and New Westminster Trades & Labor Council were read.

Under cross examination, wit- i ness said all the burns were ln- flicted on naked flesh or could j have been through very thin i material. The wounds on the j head could have been caused by a propellor. 1 Dr. H. H, Pitts, pathologist at St. Pauls Hospital, Vancouver, said he had received six quart sealers and a test tube containing a small quantity of blood. The first two sealers contained lungs. On examination, he found nothing to suggest death by drowning. The other four bottles contained sections of skin which had been burned. One had burn of from second to third degr?e. The other samples all showed third degree burns. Later three samples of hair labelled those of Harold Ryan, Loraine Tait p.nd three taken from a bottle by Constable Godkln. Those of Loraine Tait compared with those taken from the bottle. Those of Ryan did not. The blood sample showed a concentration sufficient to cause a moderate depree of Intoxication. It was two weeks after the sample was taken that the sample was examined and It was quite possible thtre mipht have been a higher concentration of alcohol. On cross examination Dr. Pitts said he did not rule out. the possibility of drowning as a cause of death.
