The quintet, all members of which are being held failing post- ing of the heavy bail asked, con- sists of Findley McLeod, Senior, Alex McLeod, his brother; John Brown, alias Sullivan; Everett Me Kibben, of Detroit, and Ray Boven, of Windsor, brother of the mueh sought William Boven, alleged "master mind" of the robbery, The men are charged with cons- piracy, robbery under arms, and retaining and receiving stolen pro- perty of the Postmaster-General, except Alex McLeod who stands ac- cused of being an accessory after the fact and with receiving. Four others were brought be- fore Magistrate Jones in connection with the robbery, They were Find- ley McLeod, Junior, charged with receiving and being an accessory; Mrs, Frances Boven, wife of the so- called "master mind," charged with receiving; Mrs, Ida McKib- ben, wife of Everett McKibben, and Mrs. Harriet McPhee, Alex Mec- Leod's landlady, both held as ma- terial witnesses, Statement of McLeod. Young McLeod was placed in the dock to be formally charged, and while several written statements he gave to the police were read into the records. He was again re- leased under $3,000 bail, furnish- ed by Denton Massey, Incidental- ly, Mr, Massey has offered the youth a job until the time he is to be tried, Mrs, Boven also was brought in- to court for the filing of formal charges. She probably will he ye- leased today, as after consultation between her counes! and the prove cutor, her ball was reduced from $10,000 to $6,000, Relatives in Windsor are expected to put up the bond. Mrs. McKibben and Mrs. McPhee were released under nomi- nal bail of $500, and warned to keep themselves in readiness to Blve evidence at the trial. Mrs, McKibben has been in jail for three weeks. It probably will be a month or more before a jury and a Sessions Court can he convened te com- mence trial of the defendants. Mrs. Roven and young McLeod will be tried at the same time, as both pleaded not guilty and elected trial by jury, It is doubtful if any of the five men now held in confine. ment will be released before then, although an attempt wir be made this morning before the county judge to have their bail reducea, Bail for Alex McLeod has been set at $26,000, and that 'of each of the remainder at $100,000, Features of the hearing yester- day were identification by postal and express clerks of the four principals as the men who brand- ished pistols and carried out the actual robbery at the station; long drawn out attempts by defence counsel to shake the positiveness of the identifications, and the in- troduction of statements, written and verbal, given to police guthori- ties by the accused mren, No Evidence on Hold-up, There were several surprises in the statements, which outlined in- cidents before and after the rob- bery, and were notable for their failure to testify regarding the ae- tual hold-up, The most striking development was the contradiction in the statements of McKibben and McLeod, Senior, each of whom at- tempted to fasten the origination of the robbery on the other, and the tendency of young McLeod's statement to support MecKibben's story rather than his father's, McLéods afdavit declared that he was approached by McKibben with a proposal to rob a mail cur, but that he turned the proposal down. Then MecGibben brought a man named Bill to see him, Mec- Leod averred. "Later on," the statement con- tinued, "McKibben brought five men to see me the night before the robbery. I was pressed for advice and assistance in carrying out a raid on the mails, but I refused my counsel. They left, and the next contact I had with the affair was when I heard of the robbery and received a package containing $7,- 000. McKibben asked for half and I sent hinr $1,000 to Detrojt," Inspector Guthrie identified the statement, and added testimony that McLeod was planning, at the time of bis arrest, to send to Me- Kibben another $2,200--$300 short of the half McKibben had asked for. The Inspector also re- called that McLeod had said to him: ""They'll mever convict Sul- livan, he's got an alibi." McKibben's statement laid the inspiration for the robbery at the door of McLeod, who, the affidavit { said, wrote to McKibben last Fall asking if he (McKibben) knew of "anyone who wanted to get in on some soft money." McKibben said he replied in the negative. a second letter along the same lines from McLeod, but did not amn- After is said to have inquired where he "could pick up some loose change." McKibben says he mentioned Me- Leod and gave Boven McLeod's ad- dress in Toronto, Later, McKibben went to Toronto, and in company with McLeod and Boven, he says, climbed the viaduct and looked ov- er the platforms where valuable mails were loaded into the cars. There was some discussion of whe- ther the job should be attempted, and of methods of operation, After this, McKibben claims, he returned to Detroit and knew noth- ing of the affair until he heard from McLeod after the robbery, and received the $1,000, There were two outstanding statements in the afidavit supplied by Findley McLeod, Junior. He sald he asked his father about the robbery and that McLeod, Sr., re- plied: "Yes, I did. A gang of us pulled it off, They took five years of my life" (in the penitentiary) "and I wanted to get back at them." J The second statement that at- tracted attention in court was in connection with young McLeod's visit to Detroit to deliver $1,000 to McKibben as his part of the proceeds of the robbery. Young McLeod's statement quoted McKib- ben as saying at this time, "Why didn't they let me know they were pulling the joh? TIT would have come to Torontd® Tell your Dad I will be over in a few days." McLeod, junior, said that he re- fused to accept any of the stolen money, although later he accepted $85 from his father to buy a new suit and let his father pay off sev- eral small bills. In contrast to the stories of Me- THE OSHAWA DAILY, TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1928 DIXON COAL CO.
