"18 Months for Selling Army Discharge Form," Vancouver Sun. April 9, 1943. Page 13. --- A sentence of 18 months in jail with hard labor was imposed by Magistrate H. S. Wood today on Edward Johnston, 22, of 741 Thurlow, who had been remanded a week on a charge of creating a public mischief.

Johnston was convicted of selling a blank army discharge form to a soldier which was "capable of unlawful use by the holder."

The charge was brought by RCMP officers who arrested him after the transaction was made.

Unknown to Johnston, the buyer was a member of the army intelligence branch who had been assigned to investigate a "racket" believed to exist in Vancouver for the sale of the forms to soldiers desirous of leaving the army.

"I take a very serious view of this case," the magistrate declared in passing sentence.

He ordered that $20 loaned to the soldier for purchase of the form be returned to the RCMP.

Johnston was represented by G. V. Pelton. Prosecutor Gordon Scott appeared for the Crown.

Inspector K. G. Murison of the C.P.R. police quoted Kosliuk as saying he saw a man with a gun under his arm walking on the track. A little farther on. Murison stated Kosliuk said he saw the man kneeling on the track but the man fled into the bush.

Kosliuk said he saw some spikes had been pulled out, said the inspector. Kosliuk was replacing them when shot twice from behind, Murison quoted him as saying. Dr. J. W. Cook said he found two bullet holes in Kosliuk's left shoulder. The constable said a section of rail had been tampered with.

"TORE OFF GAS PIPE IN CIVIC BUILDING," Toronto Star. September 24, 1912. Page 5. --- George Haddock Became Obstreperous When Locked Up in Station. ---- CASES IN POLICE COURT ---- Evidence Taken in the Charge Against Doctor - Donat to Jail for Wounding Wife. --- Yonge street police station was flooded with gas last night when Geo. Haddock, arrested in the street on a charge of being intoxicated, tried to tear down everything within reach. Besides throwing numerous benches and other articles around the station he grasped the gas pipe and wrenched it from the wall. The end of the pipe was temporarily plugged until a gas man arrived to make repairs.

Haddock did not remember anything about it when he appeared before Magistrate Ellis, but was sure he would never act like that. He was fined $1 and costs or 30 days.

Where They Can Brace Up. Robert Falconer has exhausted magisterial patience, his visits for drunkenness have been so frequent and ill-timed. This morning Magistrate Ellis committed him to the Industrial Farm for an indefinite period, not to exceed two years.

The complaint of Edward O'Donnell's family, in Trinity Square, has stopped the man's vagrancy for four months. O'Donnell is apparently young and muscular, but the police, as well as the relatives, gave him a record as a non-worker. "Lives on the family," said Inspector Geddes, so the man goes to the Central for four months.

Waiting For Witnesses. After three weeks in jail, so little could be proven against Harry Farrier that he was allowed out on his own bail till October 2nd, when he came before Magistrate Kingsford. Ferrier is the man who was alleged to have stolen money from the George A. Bingham drug store while working there last November.

"Our witnesses are still in the West," the Crown Attorney announced, as motive for giving the man his temporary freedom.

Dr. A. B. Cooke's Case. Dr. Allan B. Cooke, of 87 Roxborough west, appeared before Magistrate Kingsford again this morning on the charge of procuring an illegal operation upon Ruth Adams, a young woman, and the evidence taken at the inquest was put in again.

"There were no entries made in the doctor's books," the Crown Attorney said, "of this woman's visits, nor did he take her name. The conclusion I have made is that the doctor's evidence was extremely vague and contradictory, and that he did not desire to tell all he knew."

Dr. A. J. Harrington, of 813 Bathurst street, stated that it was not the practice of an ordinary, reputable physician to neglect to take the name, address, or to make entries in his books.

"That seems to me very, very unusual," Mr. Corley continued. The magistrate adjourned the case for another day.

For Wounding His Wife. There were two versions as to the motive for Herman Donatt of 99 Carlaw avenue throwing a knife at his wife. The woman received a wound about an inch deep in the side.

"It was his drunkenness," the wife complained.

"It was an epileptic fit," was the defence.

Of these, Magistrate Kingsford chose to accept the former.

Donatt goes to jail for 90 days.
