“Gunman’s Girl Gets Bail After 1 Month,” Toronto Star. March 4, 1932. Page 2.
----
Held With Salvation Army to Testify Against Jack Allen
----
Held for a month as a material witness against her fiance, Jack Allen, accused of attempted murder, Emma Wagjorne was granted $500 bail in women’s court to-day after considerable discussion.
‘I want bail for this girl - she has been held for a month now,’ said Thomas Horkins, when the case was called. ‘The Salvation Army has been keeping the girl, and that is not a jail.’ remarked Magistrate Patterson.
‘Nevertheless, she is in custody, she has not got her freedom,’ Mr. Horkins replied.
Crown Attorney Snyder asked $500 bail.
‘Make it $200,’ suggested Mr. Horkins.
‘Five hundred dollars is not exorbitant,’ said the crown.
‘It may not be exorbitant, but it may be unprocurable,’ replied counsel.
Restitution Promised
‘I suggest the court put this young lady on probation,’ said Harold Chaplan, counsel of Lizzie Buckley, who came up for sentence to-day on two charges of thefts from downtown stores.
‘Restitution must be made,’ ruled the bench. ‘It will be made,’ Mr. Chaplan assured the court.
‘And if it is not made she will be brought back,’ added Magistrate Patterson, putting Lizzie under a bond to keep out of both stores for a year.
