'Witness—That ended the conver-
sation. That same day I drew the
money from my own private account
to pay them."
Q.—"Where were the auditors?"
A.—"They were both in my office.
1 paid them in $10 bills and took no
-receipt."
Q.—"Were you asked by either• of
the auditors how the shortage came
about?"
A.—"No."
Q.—"Did you not. tell Booth some-
thing?"
A.—"Oh, yes, I told him it had oc-
curred from;; entries in the cash
:Took,"
Install New System
Witness went on to say that he had
not seen Higgins again, but that
Booth had returned three times and
had helped him install a better sys-
te!m of bookkeeping.
Q. --"Was .the payment of the $50
ever mentioned?" "No."
To Mr. Greer, in cross examination,
Young admitted that the county the
year previous had paid Higgins' ex-
tra money over and above the regu-
lar fee for overtime spent in audit-
ing. Young said he had paid Hig-
gins $20 out of his own pocket, be-
cause Higgins was short and needed
the money to pay his hotel bill. Wit-
ness said he later recovered this
•money from the county. This was -in
1932, when Higgins was making the
1931 audit.
"I had a discussion with Holman
about it," said Young. "I told hila
I had advanced Higgins the 'honey
and later I saw Warden Rader and
arranged with Holman *to get an or-
der from, the warden for $30. Thirty
dollars of this was for extra clerical
'help. That particular order is in
the files. It is not a secret."
(Further examined, Young admitted
be had Booth tell the Council last
June there was a discrepancy -in the
amount of outstanding checks. Coun-
sel read a newspaper dispatch to
'him, in which it was stated -that
reeve after reeve had said in open
council that they had implicit faith
in their treasurer and that the trou-
ble was due to 'slipshod methods of
bookkeeping.
Clerk On Stand'
In the morning the matter of extra
payments to Booth in 1032 was taken
•up with Clerk Holman, who.was on
the stand fol nearly three hours. The
clerk was shown a letter he had
written to Oxen Geiger, then reeve
of Hensall, respecting a letter which
he (Holman) had written with re-
spect to payments allegedly corning
- to Higgins. He also admitted attend-
ing a conference in his office when
these payments were discussed, but
repeatedly said he could not remem-
ber any of the conversation. The
Geiger letter was written to the
treasurer, iwho had referred it to
the clerk to answer. Mr, Holman
admitted he had not recorded in his
minutes that Booth had addressed the
Council last June on the audit, nor
nothing of what had been said, , but
admitted the accuracy of the news-
paper report read to him by Mr.
Greer. Mr. Holman, who is 77 years
of age, a former county auditor,
school.teacher for 40 years and counu-
ty clerk for 16, asserted positively
that he had never received nor kept
'any county money. He admitted 'that
wardens previous to 1933 had signed
orders on the treasurer in blank and
that these orders were "kept in
stock."
Repeat Evidence
U. H. Taylor, bank manager, re-
peated his evidence given before the
special examiner in September thp,t
in 1922 he had warned Warden Louis
Rader that he (Taylor) was suspic-
ious of the treasurer's honesty. He
,admitted he had not said alything to
Booth or Hi•ggins..on-thisascore.

Nearly thirty members of the Wo-
men's Missionary Society accepted
the invitation to attend the birthday
party of the Kippen Auxiliary last
week. A very pleasant and profit-
able afternoon was spent. A num-
ber of the Brucefield memibers were
former Kippen girls.
Anniversary services were held in
the United Church on October 29th,
the day being an ideal one the audi-
torium was filled to .capacity at both
services. The preacher.. for the day
was Rev. Mr. Craik, of Goderieb, who
preached two splendid sermons which

WILL SPEAK HERE
"The Toronto Globe and Dr. 0. C.
J. Withrow are rendering a public
service Iby their exposure of the "in-
side" of our Canadian Penitentiaries
particularly that at Portsmouth. The
story of Dr. Withrow is not by any
means sob stuff. On the contrary, it
is apparently the honest effort of one
who knows by bitter experience to do
something for other unforunatga,..:and
at the same time,remove cage for
the Canadian peole to hold their
heads in shame. We have no brief
for violators of Canadian laws, which
are good, and in the interest and for
the advantage of society as a whole,
but we do feel that offenders should
not be so treated that they are made
into hardened criminals. Instead,
they should be recognized as humans,
and given such treatment as may
lead them•to a course that will bring
then a chance to come back when,
they leave a penal institution. Let
it be hoped that the 'Minister of Jus-
tice is reading the words of Dr.
Withrow.—From the Collingwood En-
terprise -Bulletin.
Dr. 0. C. J. Withrow will visit
Seaforth on November the 24th, and
will speak at Cardno's Hall at 8 p.m.
Dramatic Company
Will Play Here
On Tuesday evening the Douglas
Players, Canada's premier dramatic
how, will present in Cardno's Hall,
"The Only Way," a real good comedy
show with high class vaudeville spe-
cialities between acts. The .Company
includes Miss Lillian Adams., waho
was connected with The Jessie Bons -
toile Stock Company in Detrcit for
some months. Miss Adams is a very
talented young lady and will no
doubt be well received. 'Miss Goldie
Price has been with several stock
companies in the Canadian West. Mr.
Al Perrin, our singing and dancing
comedian. Mr. Jack Quinn will be
remembered as he played here some
time ago with The Gibney Stock Com-
pany. The other members of the
company are all talented professional
people. The shows produced by the
Douglas Players are mostly built for
laughing purposes only, but in all
there is a good story running
throughout.
Auditor F. P. Gibbs detailed at
length how he had run down the
shortages in the treasurer's accounts.
Those of cash receipts were very
easily detected, he said, far in many
cases receipts had been issued and
the information recorded on the stub,
but the money had never been' de-
posited in the bank. Money stolen by
the treasurer by check was more dif-
ficult to trace, because of the bank
systemv of entering a number of
checks on debit slip and charging up
but one amount. In many cases the
debit slips had been destroyed.
Judge Costello refused to allow the
crown attorney to put the question:
"Would it be possible for a green
or inexperienced auditor to have de-
tected these shortages." His honor
said he would answer the question
for himself.
