Drug trial to face further delays
W. VAN MAN CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY TO TRAFFIC

THE TRIAL of West Vancouver resident James Lloyd
Hurford and five other men before a Vancouver county
court judge and jury has been delayed until mid-September
~— almost three years after police arrested the accused near
Port Hardy on charges of conspiracy to import and traffic

marijuana.

Scheduled for nine weeks, the
six-week-old trial has proceeded
for nearly half that time in the
absence of the jury in order to test
the admissibility of evidence.

the jury to return Sept. 07.

Members of the seven-woinan,
five-man jury expressed concern
over the autumn resumption

el obligations.

But Judge Leggatt aliowed no

charges should they discuss details
of the trial with anyone during the
three-month break.

April and results from a_ six-

loading «marijuana from a= ship
near Rattenbury Island.

ease are Frank Peter Bailey, Paul
