Man acquitted
by Sherry Halfyard

A Terrace man, James Mathew Lincoln, was ac-
quitted Friday Feb. 7 of sexual assault.

Three days of evidence was submitted to a jury of
eight men and four women. The jury deliberated for
over three hours before returning with a verdict of
not guilty,

Judge J.C. Cowan presided over the trial, Crown
counsel Vern Frolic submitted to the jury that James
Lincoln lied to the police concerning his whereabouts
the day of the offence. The offence was alleged to
have taken place during the early morning hours of
Wednesday, Sept. 26 1984 near the south side of
Keith Road close to Mills Memorial Hospital.

Frolic brought forth evidence that proved both the
accused James Lincoln and the complainant were
drinking at the Terrace Hotel bar and then at a near-
by apartment, prior to the alleged attack,

The victim told the jury how the rapist had offered
to find her shoes after the alleged rape and to give her
$10 for cab fare, said defense lawyer Darrell
O’Byrne.

The police talked with the accused Lincoln, within
an hour of the alleged rape, but did not apprehend
him until four days later. The victim picked Lincoln’s
photograph out of a lineup on the same day of the of-
fence, Sept. 26, 1984. In a statement to the police
shortly after his arrest, Lincoln denied any involve-
ment in the crime.

Defence counsel Darrell O’Bryne and Terence
Wright led evidence to show that on Feb. 1985 ina
conversation the victim told another person that she
wasn’t sure whether or not it was James Lincoln who
had raped her because she was too intoxicated.

that these statements will

Tax levy
considered

A news release circu-
lated last week by School
District 88 indicates that
local taxation may be
used to make up any
shortfall in provincial
funding. District vice-
chairman Laverne His-
lop is quoted as saying,
‘““The board will be
seriously considering a
proposal from its senior

administration to in-

crease the levy on local
taxpayers to enable the
hiring of more teachers
and to speed the acquisi-
tion of such items as
computers for all
schools,”’

Meanwhile, teachers
in Terrace schools are
continuing to limit their
work time to 40 hours
per week, causing cur-
tailment of some extra-
curricular activities.

Steve Dillabough,

‘chief negotiator for the

Terrace and District
Teachers’ Association,
refused to comment on
the negotiations.

Cookies churned out

TERRACE — Just the
thought of it is enough to

days in the Terrace Co-
op bakery.

The treats are destined
for box lunches to be dis-
tributed. to visiting
