Aledge Grenier and Willianmn t,o{| three months each in jail for what the. Crown Attorney described as ‘a parâ€" ticularly mean type fraud." Inspecâ€" or Beacock told the court how a lady living in one of the Fogg houses had been defrauded of $30 by Grenier reâ€" presenting himself as authorized to collect rent fo@r the landlord, Invesâ€" tigation showed that MacMillan had learned that the lady expected the rent to be called for and he got Grenier to do the collecting, the money being divided equally between the two. When they were caught, Grenier had adâ€" mitted the crime, but MacMillan deâ€" nied all knowledge of the matter. In eccuirt, however, both men pleaded guilty. They were defended by Greg. Evans who pointed out that restituâ€" tion had been made since and that theâ€"two had been drinkfng when the collection was done. He said â€"that Grenier was very sorry that he had done such a thing, though he did not know that the lady‘s husband was a scldier overseas.

Y ugh PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO home "beat it," The manager of the hall gave similar evidence as to the matter He had heard Barilka using insulting language. Barilka acted as his own lawyer. At one stage in the proceedâ€" ings he asked a witness if the dance hall was a respectable place. "It wouldn‘t be if you were there," the crown Attorney answered. Barilka calâ€" led a couple of witnesses, cne his younger brother, When they claimed that the worst language Barilka used was "What the Heck," the courtroom laughed, and the magistrate said he did not believe these witnesses. When Barilka was asked if he wanted to give his story of the case, he replied ‘"*What‘s the use if you don‘t believe me." ‘"I‘ll believe you if you tell the truth," the court replied, adding, "you might be able to tell the truth if you tried." The young man, however, reâ€" fused to go into the box on his own behalf. The magistrate scored him for his behaviour and his bullying attitude towards women. ‘"You may think you are smart,"‘ the magistrate said, "but you are nothing but an impudent pup, going around slapping women and a particularly mean form of crime. They might be sorry now, but it was too late. "If it had not been for the very smart police work in the case," the Crown Attctney said, "they would likely have got away with it." The magistrate also found that both the accused men had previous convictions which they admitted and both were given a term to impress the leson on them and others that the authurities will protect wives of soldiers from such rogues. Nick Barilka was in court again on Tuesday, this time accused of common assault on the young lady taking tickâ€" ets at the Oddfellow‘s hall dance. The young lady gave evidence to the effect that he made trouble at the hall, and later came back and tried to go in without having the necessary ticket. When she objected he used foul langâ€" uage to her and she slapped his face.
