CONSPIRACY TRIAL: THIS MORNING'S 'EVIDENCE
Deliberate Squeeze Attempt
Alleged
By Witness
"In my opinion it was deliberate attempt at squeeze," Mr C. N. S. Burns said this morning at the Conspiracy trial before District Judge Charles involving two company directors' and two high Government officials.
Burns explained that he strongly objected to a suggestion that his syndicate pay shares or cash to the Superintendent of Mines to have a prospecting licence for a strip of land connecting their mine with the road transferred to the syndicate. He maintained that there was no prospect- ing licence for this strip.
