Two watches had been found on each
of the men, and one of them had also a
camera in his possession. One of them
had an unused railway ticket which
matched the one found beside the re-
covered taxi, that is, it was also for
passage between Trail and Creston.

The taxi driver readily identified the
two men who had held him at gun point
a few hours before. On January 8th,
1946, both men were charged with steal-
ing the car and a sum of money from the
taxi driver by threats of violence with a
45 Colt automatic pistol. Before the
charge was proceeded with, they were
taken to Trail and charged there with
robbery with violence. T hey both entered
a plea of “Guilty” and were sentenced
to three years in the B. C. Penitentiary.

On being returned to Nelson, they
faced a preliminary hearing and were
committed for trial. On January 14th,
1947, they both appeared in County Court
at Nelson, and electing to be tried in this
court, both again pleaded “Guilty”. They
were each sentenced to serve four years
in the penitentiary, and to receive ten
strokes of the paddle. The prison sen-
tence is to run concurrently with the
sentence already imposed by the Police
Magistrate at Trail.

Thus by excellent co-ordination of
effort and complete co-operation between
City and Provincial Police Forces, two
major crimes were solved and the ae
apprehended within 12 hours. Had this
cordial and prompt spirit of united effort
not existed, it is difficult to say how far
the two fugitives might have gone and
what other crimes could have been laid
at their door.
