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.
