Torun Taking Much Money Belonging To Clients LOSSES $75,000 TO $100,000 Se :forth is having a sensation these clays, the discovery having been made on Monday that J. J. Huggascl, a well-known lawyer- of that town, had of a number that left town and bonds etc., belonging to clients were missing. The, lawyer had a largevault in his office; which had 'once been a bank building, and having a lot of safety deposit boxes in it, bonds and valuable papers of all sorts be- longing to his clients were deposited in these. Huggard left town on May 1st),, but no one seemed to be suspicious about it, until a; rat'mei, wlio also had Some, bonds deposited with him, having given him a small debt to co:- lect and calling to 'see about.: it a couple of times and Anding that lee was still absent,' bdgitn to grow 'un- easy. On opening ,his deposit boxlie found a bond missing and immediate- ly'went to A. McLean, J.P., and swore out a warrant for his arrest on a charge of theft. Then the fat was, in the fire, and' things• began to •.got. warm. The County •police took the matter up and those having valuables. in 1Juggard's keeping began to come in., to check up, • It is difficult to find how much is missing, 'but it is estimated at be tween $75,000 and $100,000. Much of it, it is said, belonged to elderly peo- ple, anct widows, people who had left their ! business nt the hands 'of Hug - gall' and his predecessor for many years. He had taken over )he business of the late 1VIr. Rankin and later married `his widow, who is now almost prostrated by the development of the affair. Most of the sufferers are citizens of Seaforth ancl'the im- mediate vicinity. • The case is very much like that of the late Tom Brown of Stratford, who left that city some years ago leaving behind him hundreds of people. to mourn the loss of their savings which hacl been entrusted to his keeping. Haggard was prominent in Sea- forth and took an active interest M sports. It is said that he tried to raise money in New York, so that it is felt that he has not much with him. It is thought he may have been dealing hi stocks and had used the money taken to cover such losses. Only bearer bonds .were taken, those :registered being safe in their boxes. The car in which he left Sea - forth was left at Fort Erie, and he sent. the key to his wife.
