Dramatic Public Revelations. In La-
batt Kidnapping As Michael Mm,
Cardie Tells The Court His Story/
That David Meisner, convicted as
one of the kidnappers in the year-
old John Labatt case, and now serv
ing 1,5 year in Portsmouth peniten-,
tiary, was innocent and had actually
refused to take any part in the ad
duction, was one . of several startling
revelations, made public in court. on_
Monday, by the sworn statements
of Michael McCardle. McCardle,
known as “Three Fingered Abe,”
insists he played the part attributed
to Meisner, who ds admittedly a
former resident of Ashfield Town
ship.,;
McCardle in his confession, also
claims “PSccolo Pete” Murray) is
innocent of the crime, but implicates"
J. B. Bannon} now under arrest,
RuBSel Knowles and Albert Pengram
at large, and Louis F. McCriughey,
sales manager of the Labatt Brew
ery. ‘ '
Meisner surrendered at the border
only a few weeks after the kidnapp
ing and came back to London to
stand triaL <
When he was convicted and sent
to the penitentiary it .was with a
prophecy that some day the real,
kidnappers would be caught rind his
name cleared.
McCardle in his testimony before
Magistrate Hawkshaw, not only de
nied that Meisner and Murray had
part in the kidnapping, but he swore
that Meisner actually ran away from
iL '
He said that the dapper little
gambler"’ was* invited-tohave-a-part
in it, but he refused. He was to have
met McCardle again the next .day.
but packed his grips and left the
Detroit hotel where the meetings
were taking place. "
