West Hill contractor , Kurt Paul Vesely had charged that Finnegan, RR 1, Pickering, had stolen a quantity of field stone owned by him. In court Vesely said that he had purchased a pile of stones from a farmer and had drawn from the pile on the farmer's land as he had needed it. He said that on one of his trips to the stone pile he had noticed truck tire marks and a pile of cut stone. He added that he had asked the farmer if he had given any- one permission to remove the material and had received a negative reply. Under examination by the de- fence lawyer, Vesely admitted that he had had a conversation with Finnegan and had agreed to sell him stone at five dollars per ton. ¥ He said that after he noticed the missing stone Finnegan had come to him and said. that he | owed him money for the stone| he had taken, : | "Finnegan 'told me he took some stone and he owed me money,"' he said, but added that he had not gone to the plumbing inspector's house to see how much was used and to ascertain | how much was owed. The farmer on whose property the stone pile is located said that he saw Finnegan on his property splitting stone and that the accused man had readily identified himself and had kept on working.
