CEYLON Kg Frauds Ckarged N'orman T. Johnson, a stock sales- man for the notorious Petrie Cream Separator Co., was tried at Belleville last week on a charge of defrauding Mrs. Wilson, a widow of Tyandinaga township, out of $0800. The Petrie outfit moved from Orangeville to Des- eronto after making a cleanup in this part of the province. Johnson was a leading . salesman, and the sentence of three months in jail imposed on him was therefore deemed to h^ lenient. It is represented however, that further charges may be made against him. C. M. Petrie. the chief of the or- ganization, has forfeited his bail, and the authorities are now looking for him. The authorities discovered that Mrs. Agnes M. Ritchie, his wife was ! preparing to leave her domicile, pre- sumably to join her husband, and so she was arrested on a charge of con- spiring with her husband to defraud the stockholders of the company. At last accounts, she Vaa in jail, await- ing trial, bail being refused for a less sum than $6,000. | It is stated that the manipulators of > the company collected, in two years, ' over $125,000, and that most of this j money has disappeared.
