LATE JAMES HAMILTON MOORE AND MIDLAND COUNTIES HERALD Obituary ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO Falls and Killaby stated they all took the Lindsay ‘ highway straight home and they had no share in the plunder. It was quite evident from these tales that two of the boys were committing perjury but which two could oni: be ascertained. Harry Reynard and Wilson New- man admitted that the other two boys did not know they were going to steal the goods until the deed was commit- ted but agreed on the point that they had all shared in the stolen clothing, and had divided it up on a side road running east towards Bobcaygeon offl the Dunsford to Omemee highway. dance. Falls and Killaby contradict- ed this stateménf "by saying they had put the bottle to their lips but had not drunk. Newman had some rhubarb wine and he and Killaby-Istated they had all helped drink this on their way to the The story as told by Newman and Reyna-rd differed in parts as told by Falls and Killaby. 'The four boys went together in Kil- lab‘y’s car to the dance at Greenhurst, Jung'14th. There, Reynard and New- manâ€"had smashed the window of a Toronto traveller’s car and stolen goods, valued at 875. They had put them in Killaby's car and driven to Bobcayg'eon. - Wilbert Roy Killaby émd George Wallace Falls, of Verulam, were sent- enced to two y‘ears’ suspended sentâ€" ence on payment of costs, when they pleaded guilty as accessories after the fact. Wilson Charles Newman and Harry Reynard cf Bobcaygeon, were sent- mood to six weeks in the common jail by His Worship Maghtrate Jordan, on Monday in Lindsay Police Court, when they pleaded guilty to a charge of theft, laid by Provincial Constable Joseph Nelson.

Kelso did not explain how he made his getaway but he is quoted as having said that he just walked away. Before the magistrate gave his ver- dict Kelso pleaded with him for as light a sentence as possible, but not to be sent back to Guelph undeq any circumstances. Kelso, as he appeared in police court, looked more like a respectable young gentleman, than a criminal who had spent eight years of his life behind the bars.

In” view of all these circumstances Magistrate Jordan ‘ sentenced ' Killaby and Newman to six weeks in jail and Reynard-and Falls to two years sus- pended sentence on payment of costs and restitution for all the stolen goods not return ed. Good character witnesses were pro- duced, whr; gave all the boys a good name, saying' they had neV‘er been in trouble before. I Crown Attorney Anderson, K. C., Ilaid liquor down as the cause of the whole crime. The punishment rested more on the parents of. these boys he said than on the actual malefactors. If he knew which two of the boys were. committing perjury the Crown Attorney stated Kingston would not be good them. to the theft, recommended a severe reprimand administered by the Mag- istrate and likewise suspended sent- ence. He stated both boys had been under the influence of liquor or else the crime would never have been com- mitted. L. M. Frost, K. C., acting for Rey- nard and Newman who pleaded guilty R. I. Moore, acting for Falls and Killaby, who at first had p'eaded not guilty had them change their plea to guilty as accessories after the fact and asked that His Worship consid- er suspended sentence as a severe en- ough punishment.
