On another occasion in Brant-
ford last July, Gray obtained $1,600
credit from the Bank of Montreal
by producing false identification
and -leaving two stolen $1,000 On-
tario Hydro bonds as security.
A Brantford detective testified
that these bonds were 'among -those
stolen from the Joynt home in
Hensall. They -were bearer bonds
and there how appears- to he some
question about who should have
title to them—the bank or the
original owner. •
At Guelph last July 18, Gray
went to a bank and represented
himself as the owner of two $1,000
Dominion of Canada bonds which
were stolen from the Joynt home.
To establish identification Gray
showed the bank a license which,
it was later discovered, had been
stolen from the Exeter issuing
office.
Gray also admitted to offences
at Kincardine,"Stratford, Kitchener,
Clinton, Wingham, Seaforth and
Hanover.
Provincial Constable J. Parkin..
son, ,of Goderichinvestigated the
passing of five worthless cheques
in Huron County on March 1.
These were the five cheques which
Miss Morkin admitted forging.
All were purported to have been
drawn up by the Riverside Poultry
Co., which actually had no know-
ledge of the cheques. 'Police later
found that Cowan had purchased a
special stamp which could have
been used on the chegifes. They
also found a chequetWriting ma-
chine.
How They Operated
The five cheques were brought
to.".Huron 'County by the two mon,
who called af-various feed mills.

g a small amount of feed and
taking the balance in cash.
In one case, Gray obtained cash
and grain from. Pfrimmer Bros,
Benmiller, by presenting a worth-
less cheque for $75:' Other cheques
were passed at Brucefield, Blyth,
Brussels and Walton on the same

last Thursday. They were to be
brought back to court this after-
noon for sentencing;
The charges, involving thousands
of dollars, include the p,assing of
worthless cheques at Goderich,
Benmiller and in numerous other
centres.
Elizabeth Morkin pleSded guilty
Thursday to forging five cheques
totalling $405. At a hearing here
one week earlier, she pleaded
guilty to two other charges: pos-
session of stolen stock 'certificates
valued at $400, and possession- of
four motor vehicle ,permits and
nine operators' licenses which were
stolen_from the Exeter license of-
fice in January, 1956.
The certificates folund in Miss
'Morkin's possession were part of
the $30,000 in stocks stolen from
the home of Mrs. Alice Joynt, of
Hensall, on July 5, 1957.
Two other Londoners, Alexander
Grigor Gray and Leonard Henry
Cowan, were jointly charged with

nual Huron County Junior Farm-
ers' Association Drama Festival in

Vices vote, announced on. Monday

gave Cochrane a total of 287 votes
and Cardiff 182 votes. There were
tWo rejected ballots.

not been released, the total num-
ber of rejected ballots in the rid-
ing of Huron has been closely

to the Federal vote in Huron in
1957 when the total number of re-
jected votes was 19'2. A,rejected
vote is one that is improperly
marked or not marked at all.
One poll at Blyth had 11 re-
jected votes. At the RCAF Sta-
tion at Clinton there 'were eight
rejected Crotes and four • at the
RCAF _Station at Centralia. In
Goderich, there were 39 rejected
