Former Bayfield councillor faces sentencing Thursday on seven fraud charges Former Bayfield village councillor Milton Van Patter was convicted Friday, in Goderich, of seven charges of fraud and remanded in custody for sentencing this Thursday. Huron County Judge F. G. Carter acquit- ted the 54 -year-old real estate agent of three other fraud charges but rejected an application from defence counsel Perry Hill that Van Patter's bail be continued un- til sentencing. The accused displayed no emotion in the prisoner's box as the convictions were an- nounced, but his wife Patricia wept quietly in the back of the courtroom as he was away. .. _ Altogether, Van Patter, who arrived in Bayfield in the mid-1970s and quickly carv- ed out a public profile, was convicted of defrauding seven area residents of $88,000. Some of his victims looked on in the Huron County courthouse here as Carter said he was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt that Van Patter, had made wilfully dishonest representations to obtain loans from them. The charges on which he was acquitted, including one on which the crown presented no evidence, involved $13,466. In addition, the court heard testimony during the trial concerning two other $25,000 Loans for which no charges were laid. The charges involved loans made to Van Patter between Nov. 20, 1978 and May 9, 1980. He was convicted of defrauding Doris Hunter of $4,000, Francis Burch of $10,000, Edward Oddleifson of $14,000, Rae Fraser of $8,000, Ross Middleton of $17,000, James Garrett of $15,000 and Margaret Clift of $20,000. He was acquitted of charges in- volving Loans of $2,000 from Myrtle Robin- son, $.3,466 from William Armstrong and $8,000 from Middleton. The persons named in the charges testified earlier this week about advancing Van Patter the loanss on the understanding the funds were intended to facilitate real estate deals Van Patter told them were im- minent and likely profitable. They said the loans remain in default. In giving his judgment, Carter said the crown must prove there was deliberate dishonesty by the accused and that, las a result of such dishonesty, victims suffered economic lass. The evidence showed, he said, that funds obtained through seven of the loans had not been used for real estate deals as Van Patter had told his creditors they would be. Cheques issued against the bank account where most of the borrowed funds, were deposited were placed in evidence. Many were payable to local merchants, depart- ment stores, antique dealers and others; apparently for household and personal ex- penses. Some were much larger amounts, however, and no explanation of their pur- pose was given in evidence. Hill argued, therefore, that the crown had not shown i ;�iwucai use was ma -de of the funds covered by these cheques or that such . . funds had not been used in real estate tran- sactions. Carter rejected that argument. One such cheque, for instance, was $10,898 and payable to Goderich Fina Sales. It was written against a $15,000 deposit obtained through Garrett'S loan. Garrett testified the loan was made after Van Patter told him he needed $15,000 to close a real estate deal. Even if this cheque was for real estate, Carter said, "that does not cure Van Pat- ter's claim that he needed $15,000 or his failure to tell Garrett that he was already in debt..." Ledger sheets showing dispersal of funds from Van Patter's bank account' were placed in evidence during the trial. However, police notations beside some en- tries explaining the purpose of the cheques were deleted from the exhibits as con- stituting hearsay evidence. The deleted notation beside the cheque to Goderich Fina Sales read: "Mercedes." In cases involving multiple charges, judges assess each charge individually and there must be specific evidence regar- ding each charge for conviction. They are not judged collectively. Carter said the evidence regard ng the other charges — no evidence was given on one — did not show conclusively that Van Patter had used false representations to obtain those loans. Van Patter's record includes convictions for theft in 1952 in Toronto, utteringand false pretences in Welland in 1958 and two for theft in 1974 in London. e Hensall merchants light up for Christmas time By Bertha MacGregor The Merchants of Hensall have their store windows tastefully decorated for the ,1 festive season.
