The jury retired at 1.25 p.m., and returned at 4.10 p.m.. with a. verdict of guilty on all counts against the accused, Walter Medley Hulston, William Williamson, William Percy Capes, and Charles Hopwood Capes. Sentence was deferred till Wednesday. The third charge against the above accused and James Golding, in connection with what is known as the "Look Out" case, was withdrawn. Mr. A. T. Donnelly, Crown Prosecutor, said that all the accused in the case, with the exception of •" Golding, had been found guilty in either the "All Smoke " or "Eulius" cases, and C. H. Capes had been con. victed in both cases. Only Golding had been left, and on the evidence in the "Look Out " case, the Crown could not hope for a conviction against him. Golding was a stupid and , innocent tool, and it seemed useless to incur further expense. His Honor agreed that it would nave been difficult to find Golding guilty.
