"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.]

I Knew it Wasn't Petticoat Junction!-- Eastern Townships History

I Knew it Wasn’t Petticoat Junction!– Eastern Townships History

    I not only write history about Lanark County but I dabble from time to time in Eastern Townships history, as that is where I grew up. There are a lot of ex-Quebecers in Lanark County– actually more than I ever imagined, so I am sharing this photo with you. I search non stop for odd photos and found this great one labeled “A train crossing in the Eastern townships, Quebec Date[1914]” so I put…

“STRUCK TRAIL OF GANG OF ROBBERS IN LENNOXVILLE,” Sherbrooke Daily Record. November 5, 1918. Page 05. --- Police Believe They Have Leader; of Gang of Robbers that Have Been Operating for Some Time in This Locality. --- Chief Couture and his men believe they have crossed the trail of a gang of robbers that have been operating in this vicinity for some months past, who who during that time have collected over $500 worth of goods. Both the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific railways have complained from time to time that their freight cars have been broken into and goods stolen, Some time ago two C.P.R. cars in the yards at Lennoxville were riffled by robbers, and among the things stolen were about thirty dozen bottles of beer. The police tried every means to get on the trail of the thieves, but it was only lately that, their efforts were rewarded. Mr. E, A. Conway, of the department of investigations of the Canad­ian Pacific Railways came out to Sherbrooke and worked in co-operation with the local police in track­ing the thieves. The officers kept a close watch for empty beer bottles, knowing well that the thieves would try to get rid of the empty bottles which they had stolen. Finally it was discovered that a certain man who resided in Lennoxville had gone to the J. H. Bryant Company and offered to sell quite a quantity of empty bottles. The Investigations immediately took their cue from this proposed  transaction and followed the seller of empty bottles to his place of abode. They then secured a search warrant, and armed with this, suddenly swoop­ed down on the gentleman in ques­tion. A search laid bare the facts that quite a quantity and a very large-assortment of goods that had been missing was carefully hidden in the house in which Alphonse Maurice was also found. There were about two hundred pair of woolen socks, a large quantity of wool, many empty beer bottles, quantities of cans of condensed milk, boots by the dozen and heavy leather moccasins, etc. Maurice was taken in charge by Lieut. Smith, and this morning ap­peared in the Magistrate’s Court before Judge Mulvena. However, the police are not quite satisfied with only the capture of one prisoner. They firmly believe that a gang of robbers has been operating together, and they are today hunting for the remaining members of the party.
