Convicted of $3000 robbery NEW WESTMINSTER-Warren H.

Leary, 24, of 840 Drake, Vancouver, was convicted of robbery with violence by Judge Harry Sullivan in County Court Monday and will be sentenced Wednesday. Leary, who admitted previous convictions of housebreaking and assaulting a police officer, was charged with robbing Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Law of $3000 when he and two others broke into their home at 3506 Marine, Burnaby, October 1953. Defence counsel Thomas Hurley argued it was dangerous to convict on the uncorroborated evidence of one witness.

The judge said: "Mrs. Law had an excellent opportunity to observe this man when he forced her diamond ring off and the room was well lighted. I am absolutely convinced of his guilt." His Honor complimented RCMP Sergeant Fred Saunders and other officers for their "intelligent and patient devotion to duty" which resulted in the arrest of Leary 17 months later. He said the reputation of the county had become a bad one and "I will do what I can to stop this sort of thing." The crime was especially callous, as the accused threatened to ravish Mrs. Law while robbing her.

At North Van. council machines licence machines face $100 licence NORTH pinball licences in the district has momentarily stalled district's licencing by-law. Amended by-law proposals were rerouted back to committee Monday after Councillor Gordon Hutton charged council should either "ban pinball machines entirely--if that was the intent- or apply a sane licence fee." "I'm not in favor of pinball machines, but this change could be interpreted as rank discrimination." he contended. His action delays defining and licencing of catering establishments in the district such as two eating establishments on Canyon road which have long been a bone of contention with a group of citizens there. Under the revised by-law the fee for catering businesses would be set at $50 per six months; dancing, except fessional, would be prohibited, and hours would be 10:30 a.m.

to 10:30 p.m. The new by-law would also boost licence fees for chimney sweeps, photographers, truckers and vending machines, including those for cigarets, music and soft drinks. All but final reading was given a $28,000 regional money by-law aimed at completing Lynn Valley Community Centre. Next move is to set a date for a by-law vote by residents. Main structure of the, centre was completed by volunteer labor, but a petition by 255 Lynn Valley residents supported its completion by contract from regional money by-law funds.
