However, impounded cars are seen as a major risk by insurance brokers and if you can find a yearly insurance policy, it could be very expensive. This is where impound car insurance involves.

“No Fingerprints,” Toronto Star. October 26, 1938. Page 10. ---- (County Police Court at County Buildings, Magistrate Keith.) Appearing before Magistrate Keith in county police court today on a charge of ‘unlawfully assisting in distilling spirits in an unlicensed place,’ Charles Urso, Dominic Arno, Mike Capizzi, Joe Quattrone and Victoria Valenza wee all remanded to Nov. 9.

With the exception of Quattrone, who was released on bail of $5,000, all were returned to custody pending trial.

Won’t Release Woman When M. Cosentino requested Victoria Valenza be released on bail, the crown raised objections.

‘This woman, Capizzi and Urso came from the United States,’ declared Mr. Luxenberg, for the crown, ‘and are being held for a breach of the Immigration Act.’

Mr. Luxenberg stated he had no objection to allowing Quattrone out on bail. At the same time, he requested the man’s fingerprints be taken before leaving the court.

‘A very respectable man in this city, who is his boss, assures me a grave mistake has been made in this man’s case,’ interposed his counsel, R. H. Greer. ‘I don’t like to see a man being kicked around who may be innocent.’

Fingerprint Objection ‘I can’t see why there should be any objection to fingerprints being taken,’ Mr. Luxenberg interposed.

‘Let my friend go out and have his fingerprints taken and see how he likes it,’ Mr. Greer suggested.

‘I can assure my friend,’ Mr. Luxenberg replied, ‘that the fingerprints will be destroyed if his client is found innocent.’

‘I am not going to order it,’ Magistrate Keith declared.

Mr. Greer then requested Quattrone’s automobile be returned to him pending trial.

‘Strong-Arm Methods’ ‘Quattrone’s car has been seized by the department,’ he asserted. ‘There is nothing to justify this seizure under this section of the code.

‘I am protesting against these ‘strong-arm’ methods of the crown. Unless there is evidence the car was used for ‘transporting,’ the crown should released it. I don’t like being ‘shanghaied’ by the crown.’

‘If the department has no evidence on which to detain the car,’ stated Mr. Luxenberg. ‘I can assure my friend it will be released.’

11 1/2 Years In Custody Thomas Nottley was given suspended sentence and probation for one year, when he appeared for sentence on a charge of attempted shopbreaking.

‘I feel this man has lost the best years of his life which in itself is terrible punishment,’ his worship asserted.
