“Booths Foreman Was Bold Thief,” Cobalt Daily Nugget. August 4, 1910. Page 7. ---- John Heroux was Sentenced to Three Years --- North Bay, Aug. 4— John Heroux, who has a wife and four children in the township of Field, north of Sturgeon Falls, was sentenced to three years in Kingston penitentiary by Magistrate Bradford at Sturgeon Falls on charges of forgery, perjury and theft. Crown Attoney Browning prosecuted. Heroux was a jobber for J. H. Booth and organised a cunning system of “fraudulent time checks” forged by his clerk, Herman Lavoie, under his orders. About two hundred dollars was secured in this way and so bold did Heroux become at the game that one of dummy workmen instituted lien proceedings against the Booth firm and Heroux swore that the account was due. The company did not dispute that the work had been done but that the logs had been cut in the wrong places. This action was heard in the division court and the clerk went into the box and acknowledges that the work had not been done at all. This led to Investigation and the criminal charge followed Lavoie was also charged with forgery but in his case sentence was suspended.

“‘Terrible Crime’ - Judge,” Toronto Star. April 19, 1917. Page 5. ---- ‘This is one of the most terrible crimes I have ever heard of,’ commented Judge Coastworth in the County Criminal Court yesterday after Clarence Ludgate, aged 21, ex-cashier of the C.N.R. and Henry Richmond, aged 19, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing four rings from Mrs. Catherine I. Skinner, and ‘did use personal violence and did strike her at the same time, being armed with an offensive weapon. I will remand Ludgate and Richmond one week to the case over,’ stated Judge Coastworth at the conclusion of the case. It was remembered that Ludgate and Richmond entered Mrs. Skinner’s apartments at the Queen’s Court Apartments, Jarvis Street, on the morning of March 21, on the pretext that they they were telephone inspectors. On gaining admittance to Mrs. Skinner’s apartments Ludgate grabbed Mrs. Skinner and held her arms, while Richmond put his fingers down her throat to prevent her from crying out. One of them grabbed four rings from her hand and after they threatened that she would be shot if she attempted to communicate with the police.

On the stand Mrs. Skinner was still showing serious nervousness from the way she was treated. Mrs. Skinner told her story with much effort.

William A. Menton, who defended Ludgate, and Harcourt Ferguson, acting for Richmond, pleaded that the boys were young and had made a mistake, and to send them to Kingston Penitentiary would ruin their after life.

‘It is one of the worst cases I ever heard of,’ commented Judge Coatsworth.

‘They told her they were sorry,’ stated Mr. Menton, ‘and are willing to make full restitution.

‘A man that holds a woman and lets another man handle her like Mrs. Skinner was subjected need not come here and say he is sorry,’ stated the Judge. ‘Mrs. Skinner will not get over this for many years.’

‘Ludgate is only a boy: give him a chance. He is willing to make amends,’ pleaded Mr. Menton.

‘I am not going to try and smooth over the seriousness of this case,’ said Mr. Ferguson, speaking for Richmond. ‘One would almost think that he had been steeping himself in Nick Carter’s dime novels. His father told me the cause of his downfall is frequenting poolrooms. If you send them to the penitentiary, it will ruin their lives and make criminals out of them.’

‘They have got to be dealt with severely,’ stated the court.

‘Their weakness is probably due to drugs or insanity,’ stated Mr. Ferguson.

‘I cannot help that, it is too serious to pass over,’ said the judge.

‘I feel they should be punished,’ stated Mr. Menton, ‘but to send them to the penitentiary would ruin them for life.’

‘I will think it over carefully,’ stated his Honor, ‘and I will remand them to jail for a week.’

Both boys’ parents were present in court.

[AL: Both men did go to the penitentiary after all.]
