Couple, Stephenson, Convicted Of Insurance Fraud Scheme
John Thomas Eric Stephenson, 3 percent ex-hotel keeper, and Helen Stephenson his wife were found guilty at the Quarter Sessions in Sydney on February 3, 1934, of obtaining 294 pounds by false pretences from Pearl Insurance.

Detectives traced Stephenson’s involvement in multiple car thefts and insurance frauds linked to several vehicles. The judge condemned the offense as serious, noting possible underlying criminal planning, while witnesses described the couple as previously respectable occupants of hotel work.
