"and a will if I see fit at the proper time." The state»: ent was made during. a rather gthy discussion of events relating the trial of the -former assessor and tax collector,, disoharged by Judge T. M. Costello on a charge of fraudulent conversion of $7500 of the town's money. "Is there any, information from Mr. Croll or other members of -his Department since the •trial ? ", asked Mr, Huckins. The Mayor and T'own`s Clerk Knox answered that there had not been as far as • they knew. - 'It looks so unsatisfactory to ale,' said Mr. Huckins. He recalled that Judge Costello had attached no im- portance to -the Johnston report in his judgment. He admitted that he begrudged the $1000 ' paid for that • audit. The councillor stated that he was going to ask for ,a copy of the Judge's address that the . council may have a chance to -see it. - "It isn't up to ine to say anything about the audit but I think it covered a lot of ground and it was well worth the money." -His Worship said that the was glad the matter had been brought up. He said that in reference to -.Mr. Huckins' letter in the Star, the councillor had stated that the .Signal tied been asked by someone to explain the town's position -with re- spect - to the trial. The Mayor 'said that he did not want any reflections cast unjustly on anyone -else. He pointed out that a .numb'er of people in town had been under wrong impressions regarding the matter. Same thought, that the town would • have to pay for the trial awhile others were of the opinion that the town would have to pay back to the bond. ing company the •$7000 paid over to it some months previous to the trial. • "I told both the 'Signal and the Star that so far as the -town was con- cerned, the agreement with the bond- Goderich Ladies ing company was unconditional and money being returned that there was no likelihood of the G�,therin+bythe town", Large Mayor MacEwan stated. He said that — -- he had gone further to say - that the Four Thousand Hear Delegates town was also not resp„nsible,for the From Many Countries ftd j urnments m the case • and that ,... the $7000 was stiirintact. Mr. Huckins declared that, the chief comment he heard on the street :was 'have we tobe satisfied with this result?' ' The Mayor said that another thing e had said to both local papers' re - inters, was that the bonding cam. nany had had their own auditors on he case and they were apparently satisfied. "I don't see how anyone could be satisfied with this outcome," ex- claimed Deputy -reeve Turner. 'I would like to be able to say what I think shut I lain not in a position to say it. People are losing confi- dence." "Losing confidence in who?" asked Councillor Humber. "In the way the affairs of this town are being administered answer- ed tho deputy -reeve. 9 think the people have lost con- fidence in the administration of jus- tice," said Mr. Humber. He asked why the people who had receipts for taxes which they had paid and for which they had again been billed were not called 'upon to give ' evidence at the trig'. Mayor MacEwan explained that he had gone to the Crown half a dozen times and had asked him to have those people in procession, explain- ing that it would be impressive bort of ,evidence. The Mayor said that the Crown hard promised to do this but that it was never done. He stated that' Mr. Sedgwick, (Crown prosecu- • tor from the Attorney General's De- partment), bad told him that he was bringing out the same soil of evi. deuce through the. accused, The May- or expressed -regret that the calling of these witnesses was not insisted • upon by Mr. Huckins, the complain - 'ant in the case. Councillor Huckins •• said that the night the ' trial ended, .Mr. Sedgwick had called hire to the Crown Atter- , •ney's office and they tad a talk. "1 am not going to tell how what was, said on that occasion but will .if I see ' fit dt "the proper time," Mr. Huckins announced: He went fere ther to promise that he was going' to give. Mr. Croll tittle, and that if they aren't going to give justice, he would call a ratepayer?' meeting -And form a ratepayers protective asso- ciation. At that meeting the Conn= cillor will divulge the. discussion with Mr. Sedgwick, "1 can go around and call that • trial a farce if 1 wish' and 1 will if 11 see fit at the proper time," he asserted. "Mr. Croll said a fulk'report would be sent to the clerk,') said Mr. Hum- ber. mWhat �y i �yM� at on 2" 'asked r./Knox. `' °1cOn the things that *ere asked in the letter," answered `Councilitir Humber. ° The Mayoi: '"That is up to • " Mr. Croll.

Took Traveller -For Escaped Man Produced Permits a n d Quickly Established Identity T HERE ON FRIDAY On Friday a widely -known travel- ler for newspaper office machinery and supplies called on ' the local plants and just before leaving, intim- ated that he was continuing on his trip to other towns before proceed- ing , !homeward for the week end. Evidently 'he' changed his mind and returned to Goderich that evening. The next heard of him was that his resemblance to a man. who was being sought by the Provincial -Auth- orities was liable to get him into trouble. 'Ire However, quickly estab. - lished his identity by producing his car license permits, traveller's certi- ficate, his narhe with his street and - number and a few other permits that today form necessary parts of every man's armor. He was therefore not seriously bothered. As a matter of fact he could have if given time procured certificates from a city church of which he is one ofthe pillars, and also an avai- tor's license because he often swoops over Goderich as a little diversion. In the meantime the escaped- marl had been captured. in Toronto. Explanation The Star solicits the indulgence of ' its readers this week.
