In his client's defence, Frank
Donnelly, Q.C., Goderich, com-
mented that the thefts had begun
in a small way, gradually growing.
He said that his client. came from
a much honoured family, hehad
been married for five years, and
had two children, both under four
years old. "He has doneas much
as he can to make restitution,"
said Donnelly. "He has borrowed
on his own life insurance and on
his father's, ..and on his father's
business, as well as obtaining a
$3,000 mortgage on his home."
The bonding company, represent-
ed in court by T. L. Warren, are
satisfied with the amount of
money paid back to them, and
stand ready to make good the
total amount of the town's claim
of over $8,000.
Defense counsel asked for
"mercy' tempered with justice",
and •suggested a suspended sent
ence, quoting an example which
recently occurred in Toronto, when
a first offender had received this
leniency. Crown Attorney Glenn
Hays asked for a penalty which
would serve as a deterrent to oth-
ers and severe enough that the
offender would realize what he
had done.
Magistrate Holmes spoke slowly
in his summing up. "This is . as
painful a matter as' I've had to
deal with in some time. You went
into the job here on your own free
will, knowing what the wage was.
Then, to increase your spending
power, began to use town's funds
that were not included in your
wage agreement. Where the $5,000
went which you took out of here
in three months, no one will know.
"First offence or no," went on
Holmes, "if the town had suffered
a loss, it would have been a peni-
tentiary term, no less. There is
TTJCKERSMITH SCIIOOLS
HOLDS "MI7SIC CONCERT
Mrs. E. Wendorf presented a
music recital last Friday in Eg-
mondville United Church. The
pupils in schools of Tuckersmith
School Area No. 1 presented a
program of piano and vocal solos,
duets, double trios, rhythm band
selections, choruses and action
songs. Mrs, Wendorf, who has
been music supervisor of the Area
schools for some years has resign-
ed this terms,
Headrick gave detailed description
of the spacing and lining up of
the figures and words in the
cheques.
The Crown alleged that two
cheques, one in the amount of
$2250 and the other in the amount
of $613.68 had been meticulously
forged, by having them signed in
smaller amounts, and then re-in-
serted in the typewriter to raise
them. Evidence given by Constable
Headrick was that he did not find
sufficient eujdence that any of the
typewritten entries had been made
after the cheque had once been re-
moved from the typewriter.
A good deal of testimony was
taken from Headrick, from a • for-
mer clerk -treasurer M. T. Corless,
who was acquainted with the ma-
chine from past year's work, and
William Hodgson, the typewriter
service man, and in the end the
magistrate believed that it was
possible that the roller had slipped
in the machine slightly in both
cases, enough to cause the 1/128
of an inch difference in horizontal
alignment.
Also giving evidence in these
cases was O. L. Engelstad, manag-
er of the Royal Bank; Mrs, Leota
Shanahan, teller at the bank;
George Knights, accountant with
L. Brown Motors Limited' and
chairman of the finance committee
of the town for the past two years.
Most detailed questioning was
given Mayor M. J. Agnew, co-
signer of all cheques issued by the
Town. The Mayor testified that
at no time had any advance in
pay to Holland been authorized.
Ile did not remember signing a
cheque for $113, but he did have
recollection of one for $250, which
the prosecution was attempting
to prove had been raised by two
thousand dollars.
The mayor told of the procedure
used in signing cheques, saying
that lie checked the payee's name
and the amount in each case. Un-
der cross-examination by Donnelly,
the Mayor stated that when he
had signed the cheques he had
utmost confidence in Holland, and
felt that' they had been dealing
with an honest man.
Evidence brought out showed
that numbers of cheques had been
signed at one time, and the mag-
istrate stated that he could not
believe the Mayor statement that
he remembered the $250 cheque.
He said, however that it was per-
fectly natural for Agnew to sign.

at the amounts, when he trusted
