A Month's Notice. With regard to Leo Guimaraes, Counsel said that he had a witness subpoenaed from the National City Rank of New York to say that a day, after the alleged fraud, the defendant put in quite à large sum of money. Another point which would be proved by the Crown was that a military officer would say that the defendant gave a month's notice 'two' days before the alleged fraud, which went to show that he had contemplated leaving his employment. His salary at the R.E. Stores was about $80 per month.
