Ebbs imposing a fine of $25 and court costs or 30 days in jail when he appeared in Police Court here Tuesday charged with having illegal possession of liquor. : ¢ The man, who gave his name as ¥ John Summers, 36, and said he lived in Toronto, arrived in Oshawa on Monday afternoon. A few hours after his arrival he telephoned The Times-Gazette saying that he had a "hot story." The eritor dis- patched The Times police reporter to interview the man, who was waiting in the lobby of an Oshawa hotel. With a good description of Summers, the reporter headed for the hotel and found him waiting. "laims "Hot" Story "Now listen," said Summers, to the reporter, in a low voice, "I've got 'a story and it's hot, but I wo 't tell it to anyone but you. I came to town today from Windsor along with thre - counterfeiters who are staying in Whitby. They have a large number of counterfeit bills in $10's and $20's." He said there were two young men and a young lady in the trio who drove him from Windsor, and he said they were going to circulate the fake bills in Osh~ -a for two days before return- ing to Windsor, "Why are you telling me all this," asked the reporter. "Well I don't want to go to the police they might hold me along with the rest," he replied. The reporter finally convinced the man that contacting police would be the best thing to do. However, the man refused to accompany the reporter to The Times-Gazette office where they could telephone. "I' wait here," he said.

McAuliffe said toddy the Langton murder suspect "is' my son all right." Mr. McAuliffe said in an interview that he made the identification last Monday at Simcoe where a 37- year-old man previously identified as George Walker is being held. "As soon as I saw him in the cell I knew it was Herb," said Mr, Mc- Auliffe. "We didn't say much, just talked business." The brief meeting in Norfolk County Jail apparently wipes out the last trace of doubt about the identity of "Walker." He is charged with the $23,000 holdup of the Imperial Bank of Canada branch at Langton June 21 and the machine-gun slaying of two farmers who chased the bandit. The victims were Arthur Lierman and William Goddyn. The man now identified as Mec- Auliffe was captured June 24 after a 72-hour manhunt following the slayings. When arrested he gave his name as Frank West. R.C.M.P.
