“Hit-And-Run Drivers Among Meanest Men’,” Toronto Star. April 4, 1941. Page 8. --- Toronto Motorist to Serve 20 Days in Jail, in Lieu of Fines --- SCORES BY BENCH ---- ‘One of the meanest things I know is for a man to get into an accident and then try to run away to avoid having to pay for it,’ declared Magistrate W. E. McIllveen in Etobicoke police court at Mimico yesterday. He sentenced Arvno Suomela, Spadina Ave., Toronto, to fines and costs totaling $45 on charges of careless driving and neglecting to return to the scene of an accident. A charge of drunk driving was dismissed.

‘Your chauffeur’s license will also be automatically cancelled for three months,’ the magistrate told Suomela.

‘Your worship,’ pleaded accused, ‘who was not presented by counsel, ‘it’s my only way of making a living. I have a wife and child, and it’s my birthday today.’

‘All right then, I’ll make the cancellation for only one month. That is for a birthday present,’ the bench assented.

Constable John Iceton said two cars had been side-swiped by accused’s car on Dundas St. west of Islington. ‘Suomela was too drunk to drive,’ he said. ‘When I locked him up, he started a commotion in the cell. Accused admitted having some wine earlier in the afternoon.

The whole chapter is already drafted, but my editing speed is so erratic and irregular (not to mention, I change my mind all the time, I re-rewritten the original beginning for this chapter who knows how many times before scrapping it and taking another approach) that I can't say for sure when I'll be satisfied enough with it to post it.

"Reformatory Term For Forging $2,694 In Gov't Cheques," Ottawa Journal. March 4, 1943. Page 1 & 12. ---- Joseph Alfred Ernest Robert, 26, of 1 McGee street, a chauffeur at the National Research Council, was sentenced to two years less one day definite and six months indefinite in the reformatory by Deputy Magistrate Sauve this morning after pleading guilty to 24 separate charges.

The charges included those of forging Government cheques, cashing the forged cheques and the theft of cheques. The total face value of the cheques was $2,894.65 and all but one, worth $199.85, were cashed.

In imposing the sentence Deputy Magistrate Sauve said he had considered all aspects of the case carefully. "Some people seem to think that stealing from the Government is not as serious as stealing from an individual. This is false. However, I do not intend to be severe with Robert because I am convinced he is not a criminal - though I am impressed by the large amount of funds he stole and misappropriated".
