Monday, aft- er three and a half hours'elib- eration, by an Assize Court jury to charges against James K. Remson, 28-year-old president of Vancouver Lumber Co., which re- sulted from the death at Sher- man, on August 24th of De St. Denis Duchesnay, 34, Vancouver bond salesman. Remson was driving his coupe automobile when it struck the north railing of Sherman bridge and impaled itself for a length of fifty feet. The heavy scantling struck Duchesnay and hurled him out of the end of the car through a jagged tear in the rumble seat. Miss Elizabeth Sib- ernagle, 23, 1386 Nicola Street, who was seated next to the driv- er, escaped unscathed, but her house guest, Miss Helen Dalzeles 24, who was seated on Duches- nay's knees, had both legs brok- en and is still a patient in hospi- tal. The charges, of which Remson has been acquitted, were caus- ing grievious bodily injury toDu- chesnay by an unlawful act, or by doing negligently, or omitting to do an act which it was his duty to do; and, also causing bodily harm to Duchesnay by wanton or furious driving or other wilful misconduct or neg- lect while in charge of a motor car. Taking the witness stand in his own defense, Remson stated that approaching Sherman bridge he was blinded by the lights of a car which passed him. He dim- med his lights, and by the time he switched them on again, he found he was on top of a bush at the end of the bridge. He was not certain whether he then ap- plied the brakes. Mr. Dugald Donaghy, K.C., de- fended and Mr. George Black prosecuted. COLLEEN MOORE'S FAMOUS BOB GONE Turns Curly-Head for Role in "Smiling Irish Eyes'Her First Talking and Singing Picture The most famous hair-cut on the screen -- Colleen Moore's souare-cornered bob -- has given way to long hair for her appear- ance in "Smiling Irish Eyes," her current all-talking and singing First National-Vitaphone special. However, Colleen insists that she is not a traitor to the cause of the bobbed, but is wearing long hair because it is more suit- able for the unsophisticated girl of rural Ireland she is portray- ing. Consequently, she will be seen with her hair dressed with short curls at the back, caught up with a ribbon tied in a bow just over the bangs that pro- vide one of her most individual characterist ics. The story of "Smiling Irish eyes" is essentially a romance and includes several episodes in which Miss Moore sings melodies written especially for the pic- ture. John McCormick is produc- ing this First National-Vita- phone feature, with William A. Seiter directing. Coming to Lonsdale Theatre, North Vancouver next Monday, Tuesday and wednesday.
