Culross Partner In Trouble
Henry Weisharr, a Culross farmer
residing near BeImore, appeared before
Magistrates James Talton. and Robert
Richardson in the Town Hall, Walkerton,
on Wednesday morning on a charge of
having retained a man in his employ
knowing him to be a deserter or an eh-
sentee. This cage arose out of the arrest
of Alex. Kraemer, who came down front
the West and hired with 'Weisharr, and
who received notice while working for hint
to report for military service. Weisharr
admitted that he was aware Kraemer got
a letter to report for duty, and was also
aware that he didn't report, and still
retained him in his employ. The charge
was laid against Welshers' by the military
police. Mr. David Robertson, K. C.,
who appeared for the accused, suggested
that the court let him off on suspended
sentence, but when the niagistrate
wouldn't consent to this, asked that the
trial be adjourned eight days to allow hint
to submit the evidence to the Govt.
This was acceded to and Court stands
I adjourned till Thursday next, July 1,5th.
