The tale of his exploits as perpet- trated on families of the city of Lachine and unfolded by the vic- tims in the Court of Sessions -this morning ran like an excerpt from a dime novel, His "modus.operan- di" consisted in locating a family with a lost relative, and, after studying the history of the family, preseniing himself as the missing person, Thus he usually secured a night's lodging in the home of his victims and after everyone had retired he would steal out of the house under cover of night, taking with him al- most everything of value he could carry. On the strength of his story, he was able to induce Constable Donat Gibault of the Lachine police de- partment, to give him a night's lodging. 4 The constable awakened the next morning to discover that the "relative'"" had disappeared with a pair of regulation police trousers. He selected as his last victim, Rev, Joseph Arthur Paquin, parish priest of Lachine Church, The priest told the Court today that although he never for a moment believed Harel's story, he instruct- ed the prisoner to see his father. Harel interviewed and victimized the priest's father and other mem- bers of his family, ENTERTAIN WOMAN DOCTOR Toronto, Ont., Jan. 10.--One of Toronto's most distinguished and most universally beloved women, Dr. Augusta Stowe Gullen, Cana- da's pioneer woman medical grad- uate, and the®daughter of Dr. Emily Stowe, the first woman doctor to practice in this country was the raison d'etre of a delightful gath- ering when the Women's Board of the Toronto Western Hospital gave a tea in her honor and presented her with a sterling silver tea ser- vice upon her retirement as Presi- dent of the hoard, which position she has held for a great many years Good News!
