On 'Hi Art' board. Schedule form Cour Du Banc de la Reine taped to paper cover over drawing. (A) Standby (underlined) [felt pen, paper cover, u.r.] Paul Rose, in a defiant attitude addresses the court. Plain clothes and uniformed police surround him. Judge Marcel Nichols presides. Only the judge and the court clerk are in robes. The crown prosecutor, Jacques Ducros, and the defense lawyer, Pierre Cloutier, are wearing business suits. Fluorescent lighting illuminates the room. It filters through black grill work in the ceiling., Since no cameras were allowed in court, this illustration was one used on the televison news to illustrated the progress of the trial., Paul Rose, 27, was arraigned on a charge of kidnapping and murdering Pierre Laporte. He was jointly accused with Jacques Rose, Francis Simard and Bernard Lortie. He had worked as a supply teacher at one time. At the arraignment, he made a speech praising the F.L.Q., and boasting that he and his friends had "hit hard". The inquest and the arraignment were both held in the same courtroom in the Montréal Québec Dept. of Justice building, in Parthenais Street., This collection contains 9 sketchbooks and 15 (approx.) large works. The sketches were for political cartoons, mostly of F.L.Q. trials, 1970-71.
