Year in Jail for Youth Who Admits Theft of Auto Enumerated in the charges were such items as a new spring coat, a man‘s suit, six pair of socks,â€"mew hat, table cloths, lingerie, ties, a jacket, hose, sweaters gloves, curtains, handkerchiefs, trousers and breeches as well as jewelâ€" lery, watches and other items. Mr. J. M. Quinn, brother of the groom, acted as grcomsman. Following the ceremony, Mrs. Bowie, of 42 Sixth Avenue, acted as hostess at a wedding breakfast, and later in the afternoon, the bride â€"and groom left on a honeymoon trip to points in Southern Ontario. For travelling, the bride chose a twoâ€"piece ensemble of wine boucle with matching accessories. Maurice Bucovetsky said that the coat was the one stolen from the store. No one else in town handled the same garment, he said. Upon their return, Mr. and Quinn will take up residence in Schuâ€" macher. Prior to her marriage, the popular bride, formerly a member of the staff of the Holy Family School, was enterâ€" tained by many friends, among them Miss Evelyn Scully, Mrs. Suebert, and Misses Laura Shaw and Violet Mcâ€" Kinley. ixi'ing the conversation Mrs. Ketko adâ€" mitted that she had taken it. Pleading guilty to breaking and enâ€" tering the Imperial Motors Warehouse and stealing a truck from it, Lloyd Mooring was sentenced to one year in jail,. On a second charge, one of taking a car from in front of Saudino‘s Farm and driving it without. the consent of the owner, Mooring, who is only 17 years of age, was sentenced to three months in jail. Three other youths, Jack Cunningâ€" ham, Albert Clusiau and Charles Cudâ€" more pleaded guilty to taking the car of Siras Hodgins and drove it without the consent of the owner. Police said that they were put up to the deed by Mooring, that they lived in South Porâ€" cupine and to get home Mooring told them to take and use a car he already had stolen. They left the auto strandâ€" ed on the side of the road. The two sentences will run concurâ€" rently so the youth will spend a total of a year in Jail. Constable Guolla said that the young man had "no work, no home and no place to stay." Ten Charges Timmins Department stores will toâ€" day have returned to them a huge mass of merchandise. It all was found in the home of Paul and Mary Ketko. In police court yesterday Mrs. Ketko was found to be guilty of one charge of the theft of a fur coat and four charges of having in her possession goods she knew to be stolen. Four charges of reâ€" ceiving against her husband, Paul Ketko, were dismissed and one charge, that of having in his possession spirits other than those bought on a legal permit, sustained. Lo _ i it On the five convictions Mrs. Ketko was sent to jail at hard labour for a period of three months. As the result of the one conviction against him her hnusband was given the alternative of a fine of $100 and costs or a jaill term of three months. "I will give you a chance this time as none of you has ever been in trouâ€" ble before. If you ever do a thing like this again though, I will send you down for a jail term," said Magistrate Atâ€" kinson.

She said that she bougzht the man‘s suit which was displayed, ‘"a year ago among clothes for the old country." She picked cut several items which, she said, she bought at Friedman‘s store. The Magisâ€" trate looked at the articles in question several times and found the store label of "Bucovetsky" on it. He finally said to Mrs. Ketko: "Oh you‘re an awful liar. There is not much doubt about it." The male accused said that he bought the suit displayed and another one, which, until that time police had in their possession but was unidentified. He said that he bought both of them as presents for his brother in the @ld country. That he said, was why the cuffs on the trousers were not turned. Ketko said that he made between $150 and $175 a month by his job at the mine. He kept his wife and two children on between $35 and $40 a month. Summing up, Magistrate Atkinson dismissed the charges against Paul Ketko. He said that while the man may have had knowledge that the goods were stolen there was no direct evidence to prove such a contention. Furtherâ€" more, he pointed out, the goods would all be returned.

Stop Juvenile Street Curb Youthful Crime Trading in Effort to That town byâ€"law was passed before drug shops set up ‘"department stores," Magistrate Atkinson thought. In any event he believed the issue to be dead now. It was a matter for the new Council and the merchants themselves, to decide, not the police. "If it takes a petition to change this byâ€"law another year I will enforce it strictly and close everybody up and then the petition will be forthcoming," said the Chief. "The jewellers said ‘Why should we close when the drug stores remain open and sell watches, radios and a complete line of jewellery.‘ I did not bargain with the jewellers. I just did not say anything when they stayed open." The Clerk, P. H. Murphy, pointed out that the byâ€"law was such that it could be repealed only by petition from the merchants.

He came to the corâ€" ner, applied his brakes and skidded into the middle of the intersection of Seventh Avenue where he hit a slowly moving truck which was crossing. Damage to the police car was between $50 and $100. The second accident was at 1.45 a.m. on December 26 at the intersection of Elm and Second Averiue. Constable Lepic was driving the heavy police car. He came slowly north on Spruce Street, applied the brakes at the interâ€" section and skidded down grade into the intersection. A taxi cab coming east on Second Avenue hit the police car on the side. cidents in which police cars were inâ€" volved, to report. Chief Gagnon said that Lepic was a careful driver and he pointed out in refutation of an anonymous letter he received, which asserted that the offiâ€" cer was drunk on that occasion, that neither Constable Lepic nor the man who was with him in the patrol car, darank. This amount is low compared, with that of other months but that is to be expected in the final month of the year when, because of winter, building operâ€" «stions are at their ebb. The Police Commission passed a reâ€" solution thanking the police department for its "excellent" work during 1939 and wishing all the members happiness and prosperity in 1940.
