Historic Boissevain Manitoba
Walter Gordon took his place in the prisoner”s box in the Brandon Manitoba courthouse . Justice Joseph Dubec presided. It had transpired that during the two earlier proceedings , neither had Mr. Walter Gordon admitted his guilt nor entered a guilty plea. It was a “not guilty” plea that Mr. Gordon entered. All in all in terms of witnesses who appeared at the trial it was basically the same grouping as from the prelim trial (preliminary) which had been held earlier in Boissevain Manitoba. For the second round of this “double murder trial” it was basically and essentially the same witnesses recounting the same tales and evidence. Too the greatest degree it had been said , heard and presented before.
During the trial sessions , murder victim’s hired hand Mr. Walter Jackson said that had written himself clearly and legibly in a black coloured notebook “ Have got a whisper where Smith and Daw are. I am going to make it most interesting for them always. Do not let it out”.
