"CLERK GETS THREE YEARS' TERM," Hamilton Spectator. March 7, 1913. Page 7. --- Montreal, March 6. - Henri Legace, a ledger-keeper, formerly employed by the Bank of Hochelaga, was this morning sentenced by Judge Bazin to three years in the penitentiary for the theft of some thirty thousand dollars of the bank's money. Legace invented a system of running a false account in his own bank, to which he transferred money from several large accounts in the Hochelaga Bank. He then opened up an account in a branch office of the City and District Savings Bank under the name of Amyot and transferred the money in the false account to it, afterwards drawing a check on the Amyot account. The police recovered some $20,000 of the money.

I just read a detailed account of the Bal des Ifs and I’d never realised how funny this event was when you don’t focus on Madame de Pompadour. All I was taught at school is that it was the masquerade ball in 1745 where Louis XV first took (public) notice of la Pompadour, but what I didn’t know was that the former royal mistress had recently died so there was a vacancy so to speak, and a lot of noblewomen showed up specifically hoping to catch the King’s attention.

But he came dressed up as a shrub (a yew tree similar to the ones in the royal topiary gardens) along with seven other men in identical costumes, so no one knew for sure which one was the King. People always focus on how Madame de Pompadour recognised the royal shrub and talked to him, but what about the women who didn’t!! History is written by the winners but I want to hear about the women who doggedly danced the minuet with random shrubs hoping this one was the one. My book mentions that a determined noble lady followed a yew tree outside the room on a hunch, only to find that she had bet on the wrong shrub. This is what the shrub costumes looked like by the way, imagine stalking one all over the park of Versailles at night because you think his gait looks kingly and you are an ambitious noblewoman

#findings #this ball was a mess! at one point the versailles bouncers gave up on checking the guests and anyone could walk in so #commoners were going in just to fill their pockets with food from the buffet to sell it on the marketplace the next day #the infanta of spain danced with a masked man who was so knowledgeable about spanish royal gossip she believed him to be #a grandee of spain but he turned out to be a former cook at the spanish court #i need to find a book or a thesis on versailles masquerade balls

it would have been very beautiful. camilla would have had to cook (horrible bone soup)

#HELLO back at it again #tug introduced groundbreaking new findings about soul permeability but my mind bypassed all that in favour of this au #the division of labour is as follows:#dulcie reads the instructions; snacks; and changes the radio station every time she doesn’t like a song #if you complain she will remind you she's literally dying. life is too short and mediocre songs are too long #pal gets stuff from high shelves and battles his constantly fogged up glasses #he tried to help with prep once and promptly got himself banned from using knives for the rest of his life #cam does 98% of the actual cooking #trivia section -#you can tell i am new to this because i arranged them in the wrong speaking order. let’s all practice our right to left reading #cam has a silly novelty apron because a) the idea was unbearably funny to me and b) i need to spread the gospel (aroace cam)#the cookbooks next to dulcie are ‘a few teaspoons of salt’ (by ianthe tridentarius)#and ‘saintly feasts: food for saints and scholars’ which is a real book! though not written by cassiopeia the first #*#dulcie septimus #dulcinea septimus #camilla hect #palamedes sextus #the locked tomb #field sketches #<< i get to have an art tag now!

"Bank Clerk, Victim of Race Track Shark, Goes to Prison for 4 Years," Toronto Star. October 1, 1912. Page 8. ---- DAZZLED BY A RACE TOUT, HE WENT RAPIDLY TO RUIN ---- Wined and Dined and Taken for Motor Rides by Grey-Haired Man. Young Bank Clerk Dipped His Hand Deeply Into the Institution's Till. ---- STOLE THOUSANDS IN FEW WEEKS. --- PENITENTIARY IS HIS HOME NOW ---- "I am not going to say anything to add to your misery. I am sure you must feel it keenly. You occupied a position of trust and stole twenty-six thousand dollars in a comparatively short time. In this case, therefore, the sentence must be severe I think, however, that at least there should be more explanation of what you did with the money. It is of public interest to know what happens to the money of young men who go astray."

With these remarks Judge Denton, presiding in the Sessions Court, sentenced Arthur R. Ricamond. a clean-cut looking young man of twenty-seven, to spend four years in Kingston Penitentiary for the theft of over $26.000 while occupying the position of teller and accountant at the Elm street branch of the Bank of Toronto, to which he pleaded guilty through his counsel, Mr. T. C. Robinette.

Took It Quickly, In Big Sums. Questioned by County Crown Attorney Greer, Mr. Robert M. Gray, manager of the branch, the only witness called, stated that the amount the bank accused him of taking was $26,087.73, although since then it had been found that the total sum missing was a little larger. He said that on July 12 Richmond's cash was all right, and he presumed that the thefts commenced within a week or ten days after that date. The theft was discovered on August 19.

"How was the money taken?" asked his Honor.

"It was just taken in cold cash-except small amounts which were charged up in notes against other people"

"Isn't the cash balanced every right?" Judge Denton asked, his voice evidencing surprise.

"Yes, sir, but he was both accountant and teller."

"Have you found out where the money has gone?"

"He said he spent it on ponies - most of it - and women."

"Horse-racing," was his Honor's comment.

Mr. Robinette, in making plea for a light sentence, said that the young man was born in Gaspe, Que, where his mother lives. He is the son of a clergyman, and has one brother who is suffering from tuberculosis.

"Richmond," said Mr. Robinette, "attended Bishop's College at Lennoxville, Que.. for five years. He then entered the bank at Gaspe, and in turn, worked in branches of the Bank of Toronto in Montreal, Hastings, Peterboro, and Toronto.

In Toils of a Tout. "I have had several talks with him during the five weeks he has been in jail. In talking with him I found that he fell in with a sort of race-track man, whose name has been mentioned. and for whom I am told the police are looking, and the kind of man whom the regular bookies do not recognize or have anything to do with. This man got Richmond in his clutches. He got him to a certain place where they had a little dinner. He brought a couple of fake jockeys - supposed to run at Fort Erie. Richmond was taken in and this man got a large block of money from him - how much I have not yet learned. It was put up at Hamilton and other race tracks. Richmond lost.

"Richmond did not buy automobiles. He has no more clothes than the ordinary young man. Mention has been made of women. Well, there was one woman, but she hasn't got any of his money."

"One woman is sometimes enough," commented his Honor.

"One good woman is enough for any one man" said Mr. Robinette. "This young man has lost everything. He is down and out. The man I speak of got this fellow and got him hard."

His Eyes on the West. Mr. Robinette said that Richmond had said to him: "I know I must take punishment. When I have served my term I am going West, and make a new name for myself."

Judge Denton asked to be told the difference between this and the case of Harris, who was given three years, and was told that Harris was 22 years old, Richmond 27. Harris stole $21,000. Richmond $26.000.

"To-day is the first time I have heard of this race-track man," said Mr Greer, mentioning his name. "The Pinkerton detective is here and says if Richmond had told him that. some salvage might have been saved."

Mr. Gray, recalled to testify, said that the only mention he had heard made was by the prisoner's landlady. She had told him that if he got hold of the grey-haired man who rode around with Richmond in an automobile," they would have the man who was responsible for the bank clerk's downfall.

Judge Denton then passed sentence, and the only sign Richmond gave was the nervous twitching of his mouth. After a few words of encouragement from Mr. Robinette he walked briskly out of the room.

[AL: Richmond was convict #F-484 at Kingston Penitentiary. A first time prisoner from a good family - a so-called 'accidental prisoner' and a white collar one to boot - he was never reported for any infraction. He worked as a clerk and an inmate assistant in the staff office. He was paroled in late 1914.]
