THE MOYES AFFAIR
DISCUSSION IN THE LEGISL A T tine
REGARDING O. W. S. RAILWAY
Mr. Proudfoot Moves for Papers Re-
lating to Attempted Arrest of J. W.
Moyes- Attorney -General Declares
Mis Department Is Not to Blame
for the Failure to'TGet Mold of the
Missing Man -Solicitors Disagreed.
In the Legislature on Monday the
affair. of the Ontario West Shore
Railway were the subject of deicers.
Mon.
The matter cawe up on s motion by
Mr. W. Proudfoot, member fur Centre
Huron, for copies of all correspon-
dence, reports and documents in any
way relating to the attempted arrest
of John W. Moyes, Mr. Proudfoot,
in presenting his motion, said that al-
though the people might not consider
they had much chance of getting tbetr
money back -they had been de-
frauded of at least $120.11(0-a vigor-
ous effort should be made to arrest
Moyes.
"It may be said that the people up
there (io Huron) are tbe only?• onee in-
terested in the prosecution, he said,
'4wb I do not reamed- it --ie teat light at
all. Wben a Wan like Moyes commits
a fraud such as hdcommitted, and gets
away with it, then It is an encourage-
ment to other people who are promot-
ing schemes of this kind and other
kinds. It should not. in cases of this
type, be left entirely on the shoulders
of the private individual to start a
prosecution. The people interested its
tbe care are anxious that Noyes should
brought back and stand trial."
Hon. Mr. Lucas said if there was
brought down to the House the cor,tt-
pondence showing the evidence and
how the Department had been trying
to reach the man they were attempt-
ing to arrest, that would defeat the
very purpose the honorable member
who raised the question had in sight.
The' Attorney -General said *bat Noyes 1
could have been arrested by anyb sly
who knew the facts. He thought Mr.
Proudfoot was one of the counsel in
UM cave before the railway board. No
request came to the Delrarttuent of
the Attorney -Gent ra1 white the facer
were all before the municipalities and
counsel.
Moyer' last evidence was ou April
21, and then he ventshed into the
nt.t•tblrnd, and nobody bad seen .him
rinse. When the men had gone away,
three years after the fraud+ had been
committed and the money stolen, the
'Department was asked to get him.
"The very municipalities, through
their counsel, through their represent-
atives, baying the details, having all
the knowledge.- -kteowigg the --Frautts
j,tir
from 1911, knowing them as they were
disclosed before the railway board.
took no action," said Mr.Luclue "made
no suggestion to the Attorney -artier-
ars Depattwent. and yet there mks
iusinoattou of blame on the Attorney-
Genteel's Department. An attempt
was apparentlty being made to get po-
litical advantage."
Mr. Proudfoot explained the reason
Why proceedings were not taken
rather. Wbile it. was true, he said.
that a great many statements had
been enade about tbe funds having
been mivappropriated and disposed of
iwproperly.,it was not known exactly
bow it wouldwork out until the in-
vestigation took place before the rail-
way board. It was only then they
ascertained what had become of the
stoney and how the moneys had been
spent. Just as soon as the report was
made by the board the proceedings
were instituted. 1t was idle for the
Attorney -General to say^ hie Depart-
ment did nut know -whet was going on
when the reports of the proceeding',
'afore the leveed were appearing in
the press every day. Moy,•, could
have been arrested Tong before he
left. Mr. Proudfent denied that he
had brought the wetter up to gain
political capital.
A. H. Musgrove (North Huron) said
the township of Ashfield was in his
covet itnercy and at the last election
this Mayr. aflair wan a burning ques-
tion. It was one of the most difficult
points he had to meet, why Moyes
had not been arreetrd, and all the
political capitai that could be made
was made. He, however, got a state-
ment from Hon. Mr. Foy, and *bat
proved satiefeetory to the people in
that part of the riding.
Hen,. Mr. Lucas sold the first noti-
ltcati n they hail fr Mr. Proudfoot
was net Mi y 3, 1014. while Moyes, it
was sinter, left on May 1. 'the Attorney-
Orn►t':,Fs Deppertwent was asked 001
10 Mnyrs until the railway
hoard made its rep,•rt, which report
was heated on the 11th of May. In-
epector Boyd was at once placed on
the job, and Moyes having been sup-
poeed to have gone to Algonquin
Park. the (nepecu)r was told off 10 try
and locate him there, while the To-
ronto police kept his house in Toronto
under olrervation.
Mr. Proudfoot, with reference to the
statement that the r.gneeL was made
not to artery Moyer' until after the
railway hotted'. report, stated that
personally he wanted him to be ar-
rested, bot thele were three sclicitots
and they did not sgrr.-,
Hon. Mr. Lucas undertook that if
there wee any cors spondenee that
could wlh advisability be brought
down, it would he 1 ronght down.
However, it it were found that this
'should not he done it. would not be
brought down.
