THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEFTEMBER 20, 1928 The Case of Amelius Jarvis ( From the Hamilton Spectator) A ---- -------- "Nothing can be honorable where there is no justice." --Clcwsn Sent to a Devil's Island of finam- cial ruin, despair and discredit, hs office seized, his business closed, finger-printed like a COMMON Cri: inal, fined the largest fine ($200, 000) ever levied against any man in Canada, and, on top of it aw, sentenced to six months imprison- ment. Aemilius Jarvis of Toronto patiently awaits the time and hund- reds of friends with him, when he will be given a mew day in court and the opportunity to vindicate himself at a new trial, as his friends declare he can, and as all the evidence now on hand would seem clearly to indicate. Just what action will be taken in his case is of course as yet {« the lap of the Gods--or of Govera- ments -- but that sooner or later something must be done if Justice is not to fail is apparent to all, What, be it understood, Mr. Jar- vis now seeks, is not a pardon, non that he should be merely restored to honorable eitizenshin and his' good namre redeemed, but that he should be given a new trial and a new day in Court in order that he may have an opportunity to vindi- cate himself completely, There is np petition for mercy on his part np request for magnanimity, no plea for pity, but only a crying aloud for justice and for a full and fair examination of all the evidence that has come to hand after his trial and that has now been avail. able for some years. I'or Tet it be said here and mow, there is no doubt in the minds of hundreds who have studied his case imparti- ally that Mr. Jarvis would have been certainly acquitted of any charge if the evidemca which came out over a year afterward in the Peppal case had been avallable to him at his own trial, Here were two men charged for the very same offences theft, re- ceiving, embeszglement, fraud and conspiracy--Jarvis in October 1924 and Peppal in 1925. Jarvis at his trial was acquitted of everything save conspiracy; Peppal in trial was acquitted of everything although at the Jarvis trial it was contended that he was one of the conspirators, For purpose of explan- ation it may be added that tins alleged conspiracy had to do with the purchase and sale by Mr. Javis and Mr. Peppal of Provincial bonds and that the third couspirator was stated to be Hon. Peter Smith, Pro- vincial Treasurer. Let us now sum up the case as it stands today as follows: 1. Under the law Mr. Jarvis lost his right to appeal, once a year Lad expired from the time of his sent. ence. 2. Peppal was tried a year and a month after the Jarvis sentence and, when he was tried he came into Court with books, papers, doe uments and evidence which wey not available to Mr. Jarvis at his trial and which sa clearly disprov- ed the charge of conspiracy that had these various forms of evi- FLIES are Continually +» "Oozing FILTH » 108 hreed in unspeakable filth, Thelr spongy feet transmit germs of dread disease, They taint every» thingtheytouch, FLY-TOX kills flies, Use FLY-TOX, Itis safe, fragrant , (stainless. .

At this firet trial, Mr. Jarvis was absolutely helpless to show what Peppal had done with $149 932 of specific bonds which Peppal received from Jarvis and which, aos cording to the theory of the Crown, were passed on by Peppal to Smith as a bribe. 4. The reason for the them help- lessness of Mr. Jarvis was that Mr. Peppal was held fast in California by the Cown and therefore his evi. dence was not available at the Jar vis trial, 5. How important this evidence would have been can best be est mated by yeference to the words of the trial judge who sald "If Am. drew Peppal swore that Peter Smith' did not receive them" (the bonds) "but that he retained them for someone else, Peter Smith should go free." 3 6. At the Peppal trial, Andrew Peppal in his own defence, gave an accurate, precise, detalled account of what he did with every bond, while, in addition, his counsel gave the Court a complete statement of his bank accounts, stock accounts, broker's transactions and official position of all of these bonds and showing that Peter Smith did not receive a single one of them. 7. In other words the very con- dition developed at the second trial which the trial judge at tha first trial declared would absolutely do away with the conspiracy charge, and 1t was the absence of this vital evidence at the first trial that was the greatest factor iW the Jarvis conviction because of course, it is perfectly clear that it there was no theft or bribery involved in the transaction, there could be no con spiracy on the part of Mr, Jarvis, who had no dealings with Mr, Peter Smith at all or at any time, the arrangement for the bond buying having been made with Premier Drury and his Cabinet as these gentlemen testified, 8. Instead of the Provine2 of On- tario losing on the purchase and sale of the bonds, it was proven clearly at the first trial that the Province had actually profited by over two million dollars, showing that the bargain hetween Mr. Jar- vis, and Premier Drury and his Ca- binet was a splendid thing for the Province, and that the transa:tion was wonderfully carried out by Mr. Jarvig himself, 9. The acquittal of Mr. Peppal completely demolished the charce of conspiracy which "the Jury in the first trial, after six hours of deliberation and much hesitation and doubt had held to be proven against Mr. Jarvis, 10. So strong now are the feel- ings and the certainty on this paint, that only a few weeks ago the May- or of Toronto and Members of Par- liament there petitioned the Gov. ernment at Ottawa to grant Mr. Jarvis a new trial, while some months earlier a memorandum along similar lines was forwarded by leading reputable Cagadian eiti- zens who had followed the ease i $12.95!
