Bonds Returned by Mail On Friday afternoon about 2.15 o'clock, Mr. James Lucas had a tele- phone call from Uxbridge where an unknown voice asked him if he wish- ed to recover his $11,000 in bonds. Mr. Lucas, of course, replied that he did. "Then said the voice, bring $400 and in half an hour meet me on the road between Borelia and Manchester and I will give you back the bonds for the money. Do not come armed and come alone." Upon receipt of this mysterious call, Mr. Lucas did some quick think- ing. He immediately telephoned to Prov. Constable Taylor at Whitby, who has been working on the case for some time; but found he was in Uxbridge. - Upon telephoning to Ux- bridge, he located the officer at the Police Court, where he had a case in charge. Informing Officer Taylor of all the details, Mr. Lucas was told to do nothing until the constable arrived in Port Perry. Inquiring at the telephone office, Constable Taylor found that a man giving the name of "Lawson" had telephoned Mr. Lucas at Port Perry at 2.07 p.m., just about fifteen min- utes previous. Judging that the man 'would be already on his way to Port Pery, Officer Taylor, lost no time in commandeering a car and starting for there himself. He arrived at Port Perry at 8.10 p.m., which was about an hour after Mr Lucas had re- ceived the phone call Officer Taylor told Lucas to walk down the Port Perry-Manchester Road, leaving all valuables behind, and he followed in the rear, with the a considerable distance behind No capital required. Just an, recovering the bonds was very slight. Indeed, it was the consensus of opin- ion that they would be destroyed. But truth is stranger than fiction, and when it was noised abroad that Mr. Lucas had ré&teived $11,200 of 'his bonds through the mails, there was great surprise and many citizens went down to Mr. Lucas to have the story verified. That was on Tuesday morn- ing. Provincial Officer Taylor was notified, and in a short time, after consulting Mr, Lucas, he was on his way to Toronto, where as will be seen by the report on the front page, an arrest was made. than a Million a Month!
