liEll beg and uttering a power of attorney
hi the nam •t Alexander Campbell,
of tiewf.rth, and each wan seuteoeed

tiary. Fletehea's sentence dates back
to tee thee of his arrest,
Atter deliberating one hour and
thirty-five minute)*, for wend Jury of
the llur..0 advise court which opened
before Mr. Judie" Nicol Jeffrey on
Tuesday returned a true bill on a
charge of forgery and uttering a power
of attorney preferred against Gordon
a. Maclaren and Robert S. Fletcher,
Toronto broken,. On Wednesday morn-
ing a true bill wee returned against
the brokers on thirty-two chargee of
tbeft and thirty-one .charges of re-
ceiving and Mathis( Miner bonds and
securities.
In his address to the grand jury Mr.
Justice Jeffrey said: '-It Is said a
great number of bunds sod securities
were removed from Ilukgurd'e Ohre,
Huggard being a Lawyer and In charge
of the securities, and th,ct some were
taken by Iluggard..,atgl some by the
accused to be used as collateral la
Huggard's accounts'. It fs a fact, a0
the Crown says, that no ecconit was
opened up by Huggard for the pur-
pose it was said to have been opened
up; and these shares, whl.'Ib were sup-
posed to be used as collateral, were
sold to :tear up a deficit In the Hag-
gard account."
Meda for Change et Venue
When the grand jury retired, C.
Aubrey Mond, K.C., of Toronto, senior
counsel for Mac'Iaren, mad F. R. Dar-
row, of Goderich, counsel for Fletcher.
made a motion for a rhat.ge of venue.
Mr. Bond laced him motion on the
ground that "the crime, .f committed
as alleged, was committed in tbe coun-
ty of York. There is no evidence
that any bonds or securities were tak-
en in til' county of Hunts" he said,
ling an objection by W. B. Com-
mon, K.C., special prosecutor, and con-
tinuing: "Any that were taken 1n
Huron were handed to them by Hug-
gard, a self-confessed thief.
"The other grounds are Involved In
tbe prejudice in the trial of Huggard
against tbe care of MkcLaren and
neuter. Screaming headlines were
published In Toronto and county pa-
pers. Tice community, In fact the
whole of Huron county, never was so
greatly ahmktd as by the confe-sdon
of Huggtrd. Through the news-
papers and by word of mouth the
public was led to believe that Hug-
Gard was an Innocent, good-hearted,
misled young man who wan robbed by
the Toronto broken': and that Ilug'
gard was made the goat by these
naarpers--of--tiny street."
Mr. Hond claimed that Hie Agita-
