"MANY LANDLADIES WERE VICTIMIZED," Montreal Gazette. January 30, 1913. Page 12. ---- Youth Engaged Rooms and After Taking Boarders Effects Never Returned. ---- ARRESTED IN POOL ROOM. ---- Rings, Watches, Cash and Clothes Went After Residence of Polite Stranger - Some Goods Recovered. ---- To rent a room for a few days and then disappear with all the moveable objects he could lay his hands on was the method it is alleged was followed by a young man giving the name of Elphege Pare, who was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Lajoie. Pare also admitted to having been known in the city under the names of Fournier, Kent and Matthews.

Pare was arrested in a pool room on St. Lawrence street, by the detective, who had received only a good description of the young man, but also of some of the articles missing after his short residence in several houses. Among the articles sought for was a gold cameo pin with the image of "Liberty" on it, and when the detective went into the pool room he saw Pare, thought the boots and coat he was wearing fitted the description of some of the missing articles, and when the young man noticed that he was being scrutinized he reached down his overcoat and prepared to leave Questioned by Detective Lajolo admitted that his name was Pare and that he had given other names during his month's stay in Montreal, having come here from Ottawa. He said that his home was in the States. Finally he admitted that he had taken rooms in various parts of the city and had made away with what of value he could carry, and accompanied the detective to several second-hand stores so that a quantity of the stolen goods were recovered.

Up to the present the detective has learned that no few than seven boarding house keepers have been victimized, and that in one case the boarders who lost things had made the landlady pay compensation which amounted to sixty dollars. Pare, it is reported, would go to a house early in the day, make arrangements f moving in, saying that several trunks would be following Inter. With the room engaged he would depart until the hour was lute, examining his absence was due to the fact that he was engaged as an operator at a moving picture theatre. He has ahed late in the morning and as the remainder of the boarders were out at work he had an opportunity to examine their possessions at leisure and make a judicious selection, after which he would leave the house and not go back.

Complaints have been received from the following to date, and a quantity of the missing goods were recovered yesterday afternoon when Pare voluntarily accompanied Detective Lajoie to the places where he had dis- posed of the effects: -

Elric Giroux, 531 St. Catherine street, west, suitcases and clothes being missed after the boarder's departure.

Cosmos Antonizos, 322 St. Catherine street, west, who later missed a gold watch valued at $150.

Joseph Venne, 525 Notre Dame street, west, where watches and several rings were missing.

Mrs. Fournier, 422 Seigneurs street, where a number of suits of clothes were, taken.

Mrs. Fournier reported that she had been forced to pay compensation to her lodgers to the amount of sixty dollars.

Miss Tourgeon, 463 Notre Dame street west, who after the sudden departure of her polite new boarder missed ten dollars in cash.

Mrs. O'Connor, 688 Notre Dame street west, whose boarders lost several articles of wearing apparel.

Mrs. Fowler, 32 Burnside place, who lost a suitcase and wearing apparel.

When the reports came into detective headquarters, Detective Lajoie went to the numerous boarding houses in his district and warned the trusting landladies, notifying them to telephone the office if the young man put in an appearance and tried to negotiate for a room. On Saturday morning the detective called at 463 Notre Dame street and warned Miss Tourgeon, and at three o'clock Pare put in an appearance, but the landlady failed to notify the authorities, and after the boarder had left she reported the loss of ten dollars in cash. It is estimated that the goody obtained in this manner will run into several hundred dollars.

"DARING THEFT AT HAMILTON," Kingston Daily Standard. November 6, 1913. Page 1. --- Thieves Got Away With $850 Worth of jewelry. ---- Hamilton, Ont., Nov. 6. - Thirty-six pearl rings valued at $850 were stolen from the show window of the jewelry store of John Diggins, on King street east at 2 o'clock this morning.

The robbery was undoubtedly the most daring perpetrated in Hamilton in recent years. A perfect circle large enough to admit entrance was cut from the window and a tray containing the pearl rings was removed.

Mr. Diggins says the instrument was a new invention which cuts plate-glass like so much putty.

C. Robinson at 6.13 last night. 

He was taken in the second hand shop of Jacob Livingstone, 275 East King-street, where he went to buy a chisel. 

Detective Oxland unearthed two watches at the Livingstone store, which were later identified as those stolen from the house of Thomas West, 113 Wellesley-street, during Thursday. P. C. Robinson was set to watch the second hand store and Mr. Livingstone told to point out the right man.

“Find Prisoner at Windsor Is Much Wanted Criminal,” North Bay Nugget. January 7, 1931. Page 1.  --- Leo Mitchell Has Prison Record All Over United States --- Windsor, Jan. 7. — (Special)— Leo Mitchell, 51, now in the county Jail pending his removal to Portsmouth penitentiary to commence a three year term, has been revealed by James R Wilkinson, superintendent of the Windsor Police Identification Bureau, as one of the most notorious criminals on the North American continent. He at one time was an associate of Gerald Chapman, executed some years ago, for murder by the State of Connecticut. 

Apart from his present plight, Mitchell has only been In trouble In Canada once before. In 1902, the authorities at Welland, Ont., broadcast the fact that they wanted to question him in connection with a safe blowing episode that occurred in the town, one that bore the unmistakable trade mark of the master cracksman, Mitchell. 

Mitchell, in addition to having served terms in scores of smaller jails throughout the United States, has also had his name on the registers of Atlanta, Ga., Leavenworth, Ossining, Auburn, and the Detroit House of Correction. 

Mitchell la alleged to have participated in a gigantic jewelry robbery that occurred at Rochester, N.Y, some years ago after a safe had been cracked. On Christmas Day, 1924, together with six other desperate criminals, he participated In a spectacular jail delivery from the Lucas county institution in Toledo, when two deputy sheriffs were slain when they tried to frustrate it.   He was also a member of the notorious Gerald Chapman— "Dutch" Anderson gang. Anderson was fatally wounded in a pistol battle with a Muskegon, Mich., patrolman, the two dying within 15 minutes of each other. Chapman, his other partner in crime was executed at the Connecticut state prison In 1926 for the murder of a policeman.

[AL: Mitchell had indeed been in Kingston Penitentiary before. In 1902, he came to the prison as 21 year old for 3 years for burglary. He was inmate D-592, worked mostly in the stone pile and stone shed, was a constant trouble maker for the period (giving impudence, refusing to work, smuggling newspapers, lending money to other prisoners, instigating fights with guards and inmates, and chewing gum”) and was released through earned remission in January 1905. He came back 30 years later, 51 years of age, still married, but with a long list of incarcerations including the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus on top of the other prisons listed in the above news story. He was wanted as well for other crimes in the United States but was sentenced in January 1931 for illegal possession of a firearm. During his term starting in 1931, he was a much changed and less troublesome man, the kind of recividist and professional criminal who in their older age are useful to keeping order and staying quiet. He worked in the library at Kingston Penitentiary, and complained mostly of the poor food. He was deported to face charges in the United States in July 1933.]

“Police Believe International Crook Caught,” Border Cities Star. April 28, 1931. Page 7. ---- WINNIPEG, April 28. - Sidney A. Stranger, alias Arthur Stranger, is in cells here with a police-given reputation of being a criminal of international repute. Charges of a ‘serious nature’ will be laid against him after police have received communications from England, United States, and other parts of Canada, authorities intimated.

Stranger had in his possession several thousand-dollar bonds of the Central Light and Power Corporation, Minneapolis, which police claim are forgeries and were printed in St. Boniface, Man. Numerous cheques, purporting to be those of the Bridge Engineering and Construction Company of Porson, Quebec, also were found on him.

Police believe there is no such company as the Bridge Engineering and Construction and so far they have been unable to locate any town in Quebec named Porson. In the meantime Stranger is held on a charge of being illegally in Canada.

“Given Two-Year Term,” Montreal Gazette. October 18, 1929. Page 05. ---- $130 Thief at Hotel Sentenced by Judge Enright ---- Isaac Eichenhoom, who was found guilty of stealing $130 from the pocket of a visitor in a local hotel last winter, was yesterday sentenced to two years’ imprisonment by Judge Enright. Eichenhoom had been arrested on St. Catharine street and was identified by the complainant and several persons who claimed to have seen him as he was running away from the hotel on the day of the theft.

Eichenboom was a witness at his trial, but denied having ever seen the complainant. Judge Enright asked him if he had ever been in Court before and the accused answered that he had. He denied, however, the police claim that he had been convicted in the United States some years ago.

Judge Enright had previously postponed the pronouncing of sentence a few times at the demand of the defence lawyer, but yesterday refused to hear anything else from the prisoner.

Eichenboom was arrested by Sergeant-Detectives Sevigny and Page of the local detective bureau, soon after the theft had been reported by the complaint.
