Tribe of Gypsies Fill County Court House This Morning.-Theft The Charge
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 30 June 1921]
This morning a most interesting case was heard in the Court house. The court room had taken on the aspect of a rainbow. A tribe of gypsies occupied the principal seats, picturesque in their native costumes of all colors. Four of this tribe were charged with the theft of one thousand dollars from another member of the tribe.
Leo. Thomas, Frank Markolivich, Miller Demotroff and Steve Allaf are the four accused. They were accused of stealing the money from Simeon Lean. The affair occurred in Stamford.
Simeon stated in his evidence that on Sunday, June 12th, about 1 o’clock, Leo Thomas came into his tent. He was followed by three other gypsies. When he got in he asked for one thousand dollars.
“Why for?” asked Simeon.
For reply he was grabbed and his hands placed behind his back, while another man took the money from his pocket. His son came to his assistance but one of the men grabbed him also.
Cross-examined by W.M. German, witness admitted that he had been before the magistrate in Niagara Falls, charged himself, with the theft of $3000. The charge against him was dismissed because of the un-identification of the money.
The wife and children of Lean also gave evidence similar to that of Simeon.
For the defence, W.M. German produced evidence to the effect that on the day in question two of the accused were in Port Dalhousie.
Judge Livingstone stated that he could not make a conviction on the evidence and dismissed the case.

Lieut.-Col. J.C. Massie, of Port Colborne received his official notice from the Attorney-General’s office, to cover the extended territory of Wainfleet, Humberstone, Haldimand Counties and the village of Crystal Beach, in his administrative duties as police magistrate.
Mr. Massie stated to the press yesterday that he will move his home to Dunnville, where he will live in the old Bell estate on Broad Street. When he first appeared in Dunnville, Mr. Massie said he was rather dubious as to how he would be received, but arriving there he found everyone very friendly. The main reason for moving to Dunnville was that he would be more centrally located in his territory.
After a conference with Reeve Mathewson and Superintendent J.H. Nagel, of Crystal Beach, it was practically decided for Magistrate Massie to hold court in Crystal Beach on Mondays and Fridays. The Monday session would catch the week end delinquents and Friday would deal with the mid-week offenders. Magistrate Clark, who lately had Crystal Beach will administrate in Ridgeway and the Township of Bertie. On Saturday Mr. Massie will confer with Attorney-General Raney in regard to Haldimand County. It will be arranged as nearly as possible that he be in certain places on specified days in order that the people will know where they can find him when they wish to see him.
Col. Massie had a brilliant overseas service, enlisting with the 33rd Battalion at London. In 1915 as major, he went to England, and then to the 4th Batt., in France, in 1916. Later he held the only rank ever held by a Canadian, as Garrison Adjutant in Witley Camp, Surrey. He was also commandant of several camps in England. In 1917 he returned to Canada and received the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
