No doubt politics may play quite a part in the various arguments, and the writer of the article iven below. which appeared in The am- ilton Herald of December 28, may be a bitter opponent of the Fer~ guson Government on all questions. In any event. the article is worth reading. It says: "Now that Andrew Pepall has been tried and acquitted of all charges brought against him by the Crown in connection with the. purchase of Ontario Gmernment bonds by the firm of Lemilius Jarxis Company in England in 1920. and is back in California pursuing his regular busi- ness duties. it is in order to inquire what Hlt' effect on the cases of Aemilius Jarvis and Honorable Peter Smith might haw been had Andrew Pvpall s mdenr 0 been given at these trials. Analysis of Facts in Famous case lede by One Said to fine fol- lowed It Closely.â€"Whole Aflair Reviewed in Hamilton Herald of December 28. While The Chronicle has not at- tempted to follow the atl'air very closely and lays no claim to any authorativn opinion, we were 118.- turally more or less interested in the affair and the recent champion- ship of the cause of Peter Smith in an attempt to have his peniten- tiary sentence shortened. “It must be borne in mind that. much of the evidence produced at the Pepall trial was rejected in the Smith-Jarvis trial by the learned judge so, consequently, was not before, the jurors in that case. In neither trial did the crown even attempt to show where the public funds had been drawn on for one solitary cent. Much confusion and misrepresentation of facts has, un- doubtedly, got into the public mind. and many are under the impression still that the bonds in question were bonds that belonged to the province, whereas they were bonds owned by investors in England, which the province had sold years ago, at or near their face value. but. which this transaction with Jarxis Com- pany enabled the prmince to buy back at ten and twentv per cent un- der the prite t..hat the province would have. to redeem them at, and as they were payable in sterling. to take advantage of the low sterling 'ates prevailing at that time; viz. $3.89 for the pound instead of $136, the par of exchange.- Jarvis . Com- pany owned these bonds for some considerable time before the pro- vince was called to pay for them, this fact be ing swmn to by Sir. lohn Ferguson, general manager of Lloy’sd Bmk in Iondon “It appears under sworn evidence of Mr. Drury. Mr. Doherty and Mr. Haneyâ€"all three cabinet ministers, the latter being a crown witnessâ€" that Mr. Jarvis offered to proceed to England to purchase these bonds and to perform this work on a com- mission hasis or a cost. plus basis. These gentlemen. under their sworn testimony, have statedtbat this was declined by the cabinet. When it was decided to enter into the trans- action. it was only on the under- standing that the government would take no risk whatever but that they would enter into a contract to buy the bonds (when delivered to Tor- onto) from the Jarvis firm at stated prices. This fact. was amply estab- lished at the Pepall trial. The Jar- vis firm were, therefore, not agents, as the crown argued in the Smith- Jarvis trial. and as the learned judge in his charge to the jury in- timated. The Jarvis ilrm were, therefore, legally, morally and pro- perly entitled to the entire profit. whatever that might be, expressed in following language in the agree- ment with _the government; “11ml Smith and Jarvis hail the advantago of Androw Popall’s ovi- donco at thoir trial. would they have boon convicted?

Nothing more would be expected of any in- stitution, corporation or individual than that they should assist in ev- ery way those undertaking a diffi- cult mission of this kind. Also, un- der oath, it was shown that these papers were drafted by a firm of eminent solicitors, and were passed backwards and forwards between the Jarvis firm and their solicitors and the government before they were finally accepted and signed. These letters and papers. which constituted the contract, and which included the foregoing quotation, contained nothing more than what the cabinet gave the treasurer au- thority to carry out~ expressed in a certain order-in-council, which fixed the limit of price that the treasurer pay Jarvis Company for the bonds as not more than 80, 90 and 90 re- spectively. _ prige ties and their re-sale at the fixed “At the Pepall trial. the depart- ment’s own officials. under oath, admitted that the saving to the province was over $2,000,000.

No evidence what,- ever at the trial connected Jarvis with Smith, the assumed link being that some of the coupons attached to these sundry bonds that were bought by Andrew Pepall with his commission were traced to Peter Smith’s bank account in Stratford. No evidence whatever was intro- duced to show that Jarvis knew that Peter Smith ever had these coupons. 'l‘he Pepall trial. however, reveals. that the bonds that l’epall was charged with having bribed Peter Smith with. and tn which these coupons belonged. were actually pledged with a bank in California for loans to Andrew Pepal. and ev- ery dollar was accounted for. as well as all the other bonds that. he had bought. from Jarvis 8: Company. and not one bond traced to Peter Smith.
