Evidence From Sharpe On Machray Funds Shortage Probe
Frederick Sharpe, partner of John A. Machray now jailed for theft, told a Winnipeg board of inquiry how funds entrusted to Machray and Sharpe were exhausted through foolish deals. He admitted lacking knowledge of firm finances and said he kept issuing personal cheques despite a $48,000 overdraft. He testified the firm owed clients nearly $2,000,000 since 1908 and the ledger could have shown the true condition. John Bell, former mayor of Nelson, died this week.
