Died on this day:

Squizzy Taylor (Criminal, described as the Australian equivalent of the 'American bootleggers', his crimes ranged from pickpocketing, assault and shopbreaking to armed robbery and murder) in 1927 at age 39

"TWO PLEAD GUILTY TO THEFT CHARGES," Toronto Star. October 26, 1942. Page 2. ---- Walter Hazda and Henry Verrell pleaded guilty before Judge James Parker in county criminal court today to shopbreaking and theft, and were remanded until Nov. 2 for sentence. P.C. Frank Cater said that early on Sept. 27 he noticed suspicious movements in the Ulster club. Church St. "I entered by way of a back veranda," he went on, "and met Verrell as he emerged. I arrested him. "A few moments later I found Mazda hiding behind a door. On a table I found a screwdriver, a flashlight and various other tools. "I also found a big safe had been turned over on to some chesterfield cushions. One of the hinges had been sawn off, but the safe was not opened." he stated.

“Year for Stealing Radio Artist’s Violin,” Toronto Star. December 20, 1932. Page 2. --- John J. Kelly Also Pleads Guilty to Stealing Musician’s Car --- Once again will the enchanting music of Murray Griss and his violin be heard on radio and stage, because the appearance of John J. Kelly on a charge of stealing the instrument heralded its return to its master.

When the Griss automobile disappeared from the curb with the beloved violin resting on the rear seat, the musician raised a hue and cry throughout the city. The bereavement was publicized in The Star’s ‘Are You Listening?’ clumn and there was not a musician in the city who did not mourn with Violinist Griss.

Kelly pleaded guilty to theft of both car and violin.

Detectives Shields and Hinchelwood are the officers who recovered the artist’s property. Kelly was sentenced by Magistrate Jones to one year on each charge, to run concurrently.

‘The car had not been run far,’ Defence Counsel W. B. Horkins suggested.

‘Two thousand miles,’ retorted the crown. 'Not much these days,’ Mr. Horkins smiled.

‘Every candy company is doing the same thing,’ declared Col. R. H. Greer, defending William Robertson, Norris Heller and James McDonald, on charged of conducting lotteries.

Lottery on CandlesThe ‘lottery’ was a matter of 200 candles in a box, a certain number of them with dark centres and the rest white. If a purchaser of the one-cent confection was fortunate enough to draw a ‘dark,’ he was rewards with a five-cent candy. Accused were manufacturer, agent and shop-keepers.

‘I’ll make it withdrawn,’ his worship declared.

The epic refusal of Detectives Coulson and Wilson, of a $50 bribe popped up again with the appearance of Alex Boychuk on a charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice. He pleaded guilty.

Put $50 in Pocket‘The officers were investigating some alcohol in the house,’ Crown Attorney W. O. Gibson recalled. ‘When they are were leaving accused put his hand in Coulson’s pocket and when the officer looked inside he found $50 had been placed there. They arrested Boychuck.’ The pleading of Thomas O’Connor, for the defence, brought a three-month sentence on a charge which has a maximum of two years.

Stole Women’s ClothesRugged, masculine men were James Kitchen and Ross Crawford – and not a little abshed were they to plead guilty to theft of ladies’ dresses, underwear and sweaters. Det.-Sergt. Mumberson, however, cleared things up by testifying that accused were present and past employees of the factory where the things were made. Both are married, too.

‘I will have to be more severe, because you are on probation,’ explained Magistrate Jones. ‘Six months.’

Having made restitution of the sum of money involved in several fraud charges, Rupert Rive was put on a year of probation when he appeared for sentence.

A Friendly Argument ‘It was a case of a friendly argument,’ explained Defence Counsel T. B. Horkins, defending Oscar Grossman on a wounding charge. ‘They were drinking together. Everything is all right.’

Failure of complainant to appear lent strength to the protestations of friendship. Case was withdrawn.

Charged with shopbreaking in connection with his entry into waterworks property, Norman West pleaded guilty to trespassing and was assessed $10 with a 10-day alternative.

Three thefts of overcoats from unemployed men were charged against Joseph Johnston, Maxwell Armstrong and Albert Wybrow. The trio had attended an entertainment for workless men and picked up the coats, it was charged.

Wybrow is a Barnardo boy and intercession by the home led Magistrate Jones to be lenient. ‘I hope you will be properly grateful, my boy,’ said his worship as he suspended sentence. The other two were sentenced to three months each, dating back to Dec. 11, when they were arrested.

Court was adjourned to the afternoon.

Frowns on Church-loiteringVigorous and sincere was the assurance of Camille Plourde, facing a charge of attempting to take his own life, that he was through with that sort of thing.

‘You won’t try it again?’ asked Magistrate Tinker in early police court. ‘I certainly will not,’ he rejoined. Plourde was remanded for sentence.

Yesterday Mike Sanderlowich was sent back to the nether regions to sober up. To-day Mike popped his head over the railing and grinned assent when his worship inquired after his state of sobriety (Mike’s), the grin broadened as Mike departed, on remand.

Justice chose to grant Daniel Roach Thomas Ryan, on vagrancy charges, the opportunity of a Merry Christmas. They both rated $10 or five days.

‘I was just in there,’ were the simple words of Christopher Farrell, charged with loitering in a church wash-room in a manner to suggest vagrancy. P.C. Vance, 62, testified accused had been drinking and his worship set the assessment for being ‘just in there’ at $10 or 30 days.

In University CorridorLikewise, the bench estimated it was worth $10 or 30 days to Augustine Cullen for failing to give a good account of himself when stopped in the corridor at the University of Toronto where the students hang their coats.

Only two days in the city, George Hartwich was a first offender in Inebriation Alley and drew the customary interview with Captain Bunton. William Bonner and Henry Flood were invited to pay $10 or spend 30 days in meditation because they pleaded guilty to being drunk.

“Ask For 4 Months, Cadi Grants Favor,” Toronto Star. December 8, 1932. Page 2. ---- Court Recommends Burwash for Musehuk – Drunk Damaged New Police Station --- ‘Thomas Clarke, charged with being drunk,’ read out P.C. Collins in early men’s court to-day.

‘He died last night,’ stated Fred Sherriffs, J.P. ‘He passed away in number three police station.’

Deceased, 29, born in Canada, was charged with being intoxicated on Bathurst St.

A McDonald, charged with being drunk and with doing malicious damage to property, was remanded for a week on his own bail, in the care of Capt. Mason of the church army.

Police alleged that he had been drinking native wine and charged that he entered the new and beautiful No. 12 police station on north Yonge ST. and did $50 worth of damage. For creating a fuss in the lion’s den, he was promptly arrested on two charges.

Orie Thompson was convicted of drunkenness by Magistrate Tinker and was fined $10 or fifteen days.

Steve Museliuk, charged with vagrancy, asked for four months. He got his wish.

‘I am committing you to jail for four months and recommending Burwash,’ said Magistrate Tinker.

Robbery Is ChargeCharged with shopbreaking, Joseph Schwab, 28, of Lippincott, St., and Alfred Currie, 32, of Augusta Ave., were remanded by Magistrate Jones in men’s court to-day until December 14. Bail was $1,000 for each man.

One was arrested by motorcycle officers while he was alleged to have been trying to sell some leather goods belonging to an east-end dealer. The other was arrested by Detectives Butler and Harris.

Police alleged that the arrests solve the theft of 148 dozen pairs of leather soles from the warehouse of Zeomon Enchin, of 19 Grenadier Rd., on Tuesday night. The initial arrest was made by Motorcycle Officers Jerry and Craig from information received.

Appearing for sentence on a charge of stealing a gold watch, John Zone was given 30 days.

Earns $5 a Week‘She told me she worked from 7 in the morning until 9 at night for $5 a week,’ said P.C. Robb in testifying against Rosie Leisiltz, Queen St., charged with a breach of the Liquor Control Act. ‘The restaurant she works in is beneath the single room where she live with a crippled husband and two children. Here were three men drinking beer out of a jug.’

Beer was exhibited and P.C. Colson said that the woman had told him all her trouble. He said he had been the paralyzed husband sitting in a chair.

The crown pointed out that accused was working long hours for little money to support her husband and family, rather than go on city relief.

Found guilty, she was remanded for sentenced until Dec. 21 on a bond of $200.

Limit on the LiquorMary Smith, Queen St. E., charged with having liquor contrary to the Liquor Control Act, pleaded not guilty and denied any knowledge of a half-full jug of wine which was found in her room.

Plainclothesmen Crawford and McKay said they found liquor for which there was no provision made on her permit. It was also disclosed that a limit had been set on the quantity of liquor she was allowed to purchase each month.

She was not allowed to buy more than 48 bottles of beer, two bottles of spirits and 12 bottles of wine.

‘That’s not much of a limit,’ remarked the bench.

Accused was fined $10 and costs or 30 days, her permit was cancelled and her house declared a public place.

Betting Slips in YiddishCounsel Austin Ross, appearing for Louis Binder, charged with recording bets, a plea of not guilty.

Plainclothesmen Mckay and Crawford said they entered a Queen St. W. house and found accused with $44 worth of betting slips.

‘He had racing forms and the slips were written in Yiddish,’ they said.

Mr. Ross then changed the plea to guilty and  accused was fined $50 and costs or 30 days.

“TWO BURGLARS SENTENCED TO 2-YEAR TERMS,” Winnipeg Tribune. December 6, 1932. Page 1. --- Joseph Sybaskie, Leader of Young Thieves, Convicted of Freight Theft --- SIX JUVENILES ARE LINED UP FOR STEALING ---- C. N. Wilson, Soldier In Great War, Has Long Police Record ---- Two burglars were given two-year penitentiary terms and a shoplifter was sent to jail for five months by Magistrate Graham city police court today.

Joseph Sybaskie, alias Syboski, leader of a gang of youthful thieves, drew a two-year term for breaking into a railway freight car and stealing five cartons of shoes valued at $250.

Six juveniles, members of his gang, who were rounded up at the time he was arrested, came up Monday before Judge Hamilton in the juvenile court, One was sent to Portage la Prairie reformatory for 12 months, three were given suspended sentence, and two others remanded until Friday for sentence.

Before Juvenile Court Sybaski had a long previous record.

“You have been coming before the juvenile court since 1924,’ said Magistrate Graham, when passing sentence.

“Perhaps if you had been more severely dealt with then it might have checked you.”

Clarence N. Wilson, war veteran, was given two years after pleading guilty to one charge of storeroom, breaking and theft and one charge of shopbreaking and theft, Wilson was captured when he nonchalantly called a greeting to a policeman early one morning as he was walking after having broken into premises of the Electric Supplies Ltd., $10 Ross ave.

His attention attracted by the cheery: ‘Good morning, officer,’ Constable Gwynne crossed the street, to get a better look at his greeter, He noticed a bundle under Wilson's coat, which turned out to be a couple of electric clocks he had stolen. He also took a small amount of cash.

Forced a WindowWhen searched at the station Wilson was found to have a quantity of slot machine slugs in his possession. These connected him with a burglary committed at the Association of the Great War clubrooms, 573 ½ Portage ave., where cigarettes, slugs and a small amount of money were taken. Wilson  got into the premises by climbing a fire escape at the rear and forcing a window.

His previous record showed he had been given suspended sentence in the Juvenile court 12 years ago for theft of a bicycle. He had also been given from two to five years' suspended sentence in Seattle, Wash., when convicted of burglary last year.

Mike Hales, alias John Fosty, alias Klus, just released after serving two years for attempted shopbreaking and theft, was sent back to jail for five months when he pleaded guilty to theft of a screwdriver from a local hardware store. His previous record included three theft convictions

“PENITENTIARY TERMS GIVEN SHOPBREAKERS,” Winnipeg Tribune. December 29, 1932. Page 1. --- Plead Guilty To Three Charges; Loot Totalled More Than $4,000 --- Albert V. Leach, 20, and Clarence W. Nau, were given one year and two year terms respectively when they came before Magistrate Graham, in City Police court, today, after having pleaded guilty to garage breaking and theft, shopbreaking and theft, and theft from a parked car.

Loot taken by the dapper-looking young burglars totalled in value more than $4,000.

Leach and Nau broke into premises of Pratt's Ltd., 457 William ave. on the night of October 28 and stole $1,900 worth of cigarettes, cigars and tobacco. This loot they carried away in a truck, which they had stolen a short while previously after breaking into a garage on Corydon ave.

Their first offence was committed a few days previously, when, in company with Frank M. Smith, they stole optical supplies to the value of $1,000 from a parked auto.

Smith, who is 22 years of age, was given suspended sentence for his part in this offense. He did not take part in the shopbreaking or theft of the truck.

Reason for Nau getting a heavier sentence than Leach was because he had already been given suspended sentence after being convicted of theft. It was Leach's first offence.

Donald McGregor and William Amell, charged with receiving part of the stolen goods, pleaded not guilty and elected for a jury trial. They were given a preliminary hearing and committed for trial.

"ADMITTED THEIR BURGLARY." Toronto Globe. March 31, 1913. Page 2. ---- Belleville, March 30.-(Special.) - Edward Sweet, jun., and Harry Barnum of Trenton were tried before the County Judge in this city yesterday, and finally pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary in the store of Kemp Bros.. in Trenton. The youths were given three years in Kingston Penitentiary.

[Sweet and Barnum were not youth in any meaningful sense - Barnum was 33 and Sweet 23. The former was a butcher and the latter a painter. Barnum was convict #F-573 and Sweet convict #F-574. Sweet worked in the tin and paint shop, and he was never reported for a rule infraction. He was paroled in early 1915. Barnum was reported a number of times for serious infractions - insolence to staff and refusals to work. He was put in solitary for 7 days in March 1914, and again for a week in July 1914. He lost 25 days remission at other times. He was released in January 1916.]

"SIX YEARS FOR BURGLAR," Ottawa Journal. June 30, 1913. Page 1. ----- Girouard, Renfrew Burglar, Goes to Kingston-Boy Gets Six Months. ---- Renfrew, June 30. - (Special). - Joseph Cleroux, junior, a boy of about fifteen years of age; Mrs. Cleroux, mother of the boy; and Girouard, one of the men arrested at their home in Almonte on Thursday for attempting to burglarize the store of N. Dean and Bon, were brought before Police Magistrate Devine Saturday afternoon. The elder man was sentenced to six years in Kingston penitentiary, while the younger was given six months in Pembroke jail. Mrs. Cleroux, mother of the boy, and wife of Jos. Cleroux, senior, who was also under arrest but who escaped from the jail here, was let off on suspended sentence, but with the warning that she would be herself dealt with if found harboring or assisting her husband in any way.

[The reporting here appears to be inaccurate in the extreme. Girouard was not sentenced to a penitentiary term, and it was the younger Cleroux who got 2 years, not 6, in the penitentiary at the age of 17. He had already spent 2 years in the Mimico Industrial School. He was born in Ogdensburg, NY, but raised in Renfrew and was a naturalized Canadian subject. He was convict #F-617 and worked in the tailor shop. He was reported in July 1913, and then a number of times in January, February, March, July and August 1914, with 20 days remission lost and two long stints in solitary confinement - all for impertinence to officers, smoking, refusing to work, etc. He was released in March 1915.]
