Accused Judge Vigorous Fight for Delay in Montreal Case
In Montreal Magistrate Court counsel for Gaynor and Greene accused Judge La Fontaine of bias due to ties with the United States in extradition cases. Judge La Fontaine denied the charge, then allowed the matter to proceed before Chief Justice La Coste. The defense moved to suspend on technical grounds, presenting telegrams to and from the minister of Justice. The minister criticized the defense, while the judge overruled the motion. The case continued with other legal motions and adjournments as the defense sought to review documents from Georgia and Washington.
