HARRY S. ROUSSEAU

833, King Street East, Hamilton, Ontario


Two men, masked and carrying revolvers, walked into the jewelry store of Harry S. Rousseau, 833 King St. E., Hamilton, Ont., at 10 o'clock on the morning of March 7, during the absence of the proprietor. They covered the clerk, George Brown, with their revolvers, bound and gagged him, rifled the till and selected the most valuable pieces of jewelry in the show cases, taking goods to the value of about $1,000. A tray of diamonds in the window was overlooked by the robbers, who escaped by an alley in the rear of the store.

A. BROWNLEY

Ailsa Craig, Ontario


Very grave reports regarding the moral character of Mr. A. Brownley, jeweler, of Ailsa Craig, Ont., are being freely circulated by the papers. The charge is mainly that he attempted to seduce Miss Howie, a niece who resided with him. This charge Mr. Brownley emphatically denies, declaring it to be a case of blackmailing, while Miss Howie insists on sticking to the truth of her statements. So far, things wear a very ugly appearance for Brownley, and we only trust that he can satisfactorily controvert the charges brought against him, as we would be sorry to think that a person who for many years had borne such an honorable reputation as Mr. Brownley, should be guilty of an action so dastardly.

Source: The Trader and Canadian Jeweller - April 1882


We have received a long communication from Mr. A. Brownley of Ailsa Craig, in reference to a paragraph which appeared in our business notes of last issue, regarding a charge of seduction preferred against him by certain parties residing in his vicinity. Mr. Brownley's letter, while evidently not intended tor publication, is an explicit denial of the charges preferred against him, and, as we said in our former note regarding this case we must decline to believe him guilty until he has been clearly proven to be so. Mr. Brownley says that the whole story has been trumped up with the desire to ruin his reputation and business, but that it has failed to effect its object. As we said before we can scarcely believe that a man, who for forty years has borne an unblemished reputation, should suddenly have become the unprincipled villain his traducers seek to make him out, and we think that the public will be justified in holding him entirely innocent of the foul charge until his accusers have established its truth beyond a peradventure.

JOHN EGGER

Montreal


John Egger, a small jeweler in Montreal, has failed owing to an accumulation of troubles. A partner he had who left him in January was a source of loss to him, since then he has been burnt out, and as he had only paid half his insurance premium the insurance company refuses to settle his claim. The landlord has seized the little balance of stock for rent, and he talks of calling his creditors together to see if some steps cannot be taken to recover his insurance.

L. ATKINSON

Newmarket, Ontario


The failure of L. Atkinson, jeweler, of Newmarket, is another example of the reckless way in which credit is given in this country. Mr. Atkinson commenced business a few years ago without capital, and by hard work got a foot-hold and began to accumulate stock. With increased stock came increased credit, increased business and increased expenses, and, as if to crown the whole, he launched out into building a brick dwelling altogether too high-priced for his means. The result of this way of doing business could only have one termination, and that to call a meeting of his creditors and ask for their forbearance. This he did last Thursday.

J.W. JACKSON

St. Catharines, Ontario


The many friends of Mr J.W .Jackson, jeweler of St. Catharines, Ont., will be pleased to learn that the U. S. authorities have honorably acquitted him of the charge of bigamy preferred against him. No one who knew him would for a moment believe that there was any truth in the charge, still it is gratifying for Mr. Jackson to know that his honor has been so amply vindicated. The only pity is that he should have been compelled to lose time and money in refuting a charge evidently preferred for blackmailing purposes. The following is a copy of the official decision in the case :–

" State of New York, County of Lincoln

The People vs. James W. Jackson–There being no sufficient cause to believe the within named James W. Jackson guilty of the offence within mentioned, I order him to be discharged.

Signed
H. H. Sheldon,
Justice of the Peace."

MARCUS ROSSIN

Toronto


Death of Mr. Marcus Rossin.–Last mail brought intelligence of the death of Mr. Marcus Rossin, formerly a well-known and esteemed resident of this city, while on his way to Mayence to visit his daughter. Mr. Kleeman, on entering the train at Frankfort, found Mr. Rossin apparently asleep, with his book dropped on the floor. Mr. Rossin came to Canada in 1840, and after opening business in Kingston, removed with his two brothers to Toronto. Here under skillful and energetic management they builtt up a fine business, and ultimately opened a branch house in Montreal. In 1851 Mr. Rossin assisted in the organization of the Western Fire Insurance Company, and was one of the earliest directors. In 1854 he and his brother Samuel evidenced their public spirit by building what was then so greatly needed in this city, a really first-class hotel, which is known to this day by their name. After a while the Messrs. Rossin transferred their business to the late Mr. Robert Wilkes, who had learned bis business in their warehouse. In 1865 Mr. Rossin decided to remove to Hamburg with his family, where he has since lived in retirement. He leaves a widow and two children, Canadians, both of whom have married and are well settled in Germany. The announcement of his death will be read with regret by his old friends in Toronto.

F.W. DUDLEY

542, Main Street, Winnipeg


Frederick W. Dudley, Winnipeg, Man., has given a chattel mortgage, to the P. W. Ellis Co., Ltd., for $3,888.

ROBS JEWELER'S WINDOW

Winnipeg, Can., Jeweler Victim of a Thief Who Takes Articles Valued at $815

Winnipeg, Can., Dec. 4.–Early on the morning of Dec. 1, burglars robbed the jewelry store of F. W. Dudley, 542 Main St., effecting an entrance by cutting a hole nearly a foot square in the window with a diamond. Through this aperture diamonds and gold rings, watches, necklaces and other goods were abstracted to the estimated value of $815.

The loss is partly covered by insurance. A two-foot length of wire bent like a hook at one end was used to draw articles within reach of the hole. This was found near the scene of the robbery.

The same store was robbed in a similar manner in July last and other robberies occurring within the last six months are believed to have been committed by the same persons, who are supposed by the police to be amateurs.
