The Wingham Advance-Times, 1936-08-20, Page 1Single Copies Five Cents BROKERS COMMITTED o ___FOR TRIAL Huggard Gave Evidence at Goderich Preliminary Hearing \ _____ After & three-hour preliminary trial Thursday afternoon at Goderich, Magistrate A. A. Winter committed for trial at a higher court Gordon G. MacLaren and Robert S. Fletcher, Toronto brokers, on thirty-one charg­ es of the theft of securities, aggregat­ ing $94,300 in value, from former cli­ ents of John J. Huggard, Seaforth lawyer, who held them in trust. His Worship made no comment. He refused to reduce the $100,000 de­ manded by the Crown for bail, and the accused/were returned to jb.il. During the hearing it was testified MacLaren was on the verge of taking ■his own life after an investigation was started. For two hours MacLaren and Flet­ cher, seated at a lawyer’s table, dir­ ectly facing the witness box ten feet away, heard Huggard involve them in a stock-trading orgy over a period of years, with the MacLaren & Flet­ cher Company handling Huggard’s account, using securities stolen from Huggard’s safety deposit boxes, knowing them to be stolen, and actu­ ally participating in their theft. Huggard never faltered, giving his evidence in a firm, even voice, choos­ ing his words. As a law student he knew MacLaren. It was MacLaren, he said, who advised him to locate in Seaforth, and it was to MacLaren he first went when he first got into fin- -ancial troubles on the market, start­ ing in 1929. HuggarcL said he first started steal­ ing securities from his clients from .boxes. under his own personal key. 'They were all bearer bonds. Later, as losses continued, he became bolder, and in the presence of MacLaren and with his knowledge and consent, stole registered bonds, erasing the owner’s .signature, written in ink. Huggard took the stand as principal witness after both MacLaren and Fletcher had pleaded not guilty to tall charges. He testified with the pro­ jection of the court. THOUSANDS SAW MODERN TRAIN The Rexall Train, the last word in travelling luxury, was visited by thousands during its stay in London and Toronto last week, Mr. and Mrs. J. W, McKibbon visited this display at London and Mr. McKibbon went to Toronto also. Several from here inspected the train and exhibits, The twelve great air-conditioned coaches contain various exhibits of Rexall products, two special lecture auditoriums, and living quarters, air- conditioned kitchens and a dance floor, An “electric eye” counts the num­ ber of persons who pass through the coaches. Interruption of a beam of light across the entrance registers an a counting device. Wind scoops, or “smoke deflectors” latest of streamlined train develop­ ments, lift the smoke high, above the locomotive when it is in. motion. Clearances and bridge capacities on every mile of the route had to be checked before the train could make the trip. The engine is fifteen feet high and more than 97 feet long. The tender carries 5,000 gallons of oil. The train will tiavel over fifty-two differ­ ent railways in Canada and the Unit­ ed States before the tour is com­ pleted.
