Dime-store

TORONTO, Feb. as - (OP) - Gerard Dennis, accused u a $1,- 000,000 society jewel thief, gave h girl-friend a dime-store wed-

ringhtlte girl's another said today.

He gave the ring to Fills Han-ls, Toronto girl who bore him a child and lived with him in New York as Eleanor Farrel until he desert- ed her.

As Dennis was charged with first degree assault and first de- gree robbery befor, a grand jury in White Plains, N.Y., Toronto police recalled that‘ he was given sentences of nearly six years for crimes in Canada. between 1906 and 1943.

But in 5t. Cathsr-ines, ‘I0 miles south of here, his mother, lvlfrs. Joseph Dennis, blamed her son's life of crime on an unhappy home lfe.

Toronto police said the dapper "Raffllef-named by the Pedera‘ Bureau of Investigation as the second biggest "lone wolf” burglar in the United States-charmed shop clerks, society girls and school teachers into helping him in his crimes.

Dennis was arrested in Cleve- land last week, trying to sell 9S5.- 000 worth of stolen gems. Police swooped down on a Beverley Hills, Cal, apartment and found Betty Ritchie, a former Toronto school teacher who had been living with him. Then in New York. Eleanor Farrell told of her life with Den- nls. »

Her mother. Mrs. Andrew Har- rls, said in an interview in Tor- onto that Eleanor never went out with boys until she met Dennis.

"She went away with the man she loved just as millions of other girls have done," Mrs. Harris snld. “Fhe was a lovely girl. she didn't run around with boys. In fact she never- had anybody until Jeri-y came along.

"One day she came home and told me that she and Jerry were married. She showed mg a wed- ding ring. It was from a dime store.

Mrs. Dennis. white-haired and weeping, said Dennis was a “v sensitive boy" who had to d l "with the terribly cruel taunts of other children about his family.”

His father was sent to peniten- tlarv for embezzlemc- in 1909.

“In my desperate struggles to keep mv threQ‘ children, they, of course, had no money at all," she said. “It was a pitiful existence."

Inspector J. S. Anderson of the St. Catharines police termed Den- nla “a bad lot I have known him since 1933."

Police records in St. Catharine; show Mrs. Dennis reported her son as an incorrigible in 1934- whcn he was 14. But he ran away before he was sentenced.

Dennis broke out of Burwash rcfonnatory when he was sentenc- ed to two years less a day in 1943 for liousobreaklng and performing un abortion.

Eleanor broke vrlth Dennis when he was arrested in the United States in 1947. She was marribd and now lives in New York.

Toronto police recalled the de- bonair thief-who pilfered jewels and luxuries from social-register homes—enticed a private-tschnol tacher intc a life of crime. ‘rhcy met in a Toronto factory where the teacher was doing war work and where Dennis was known as "lower boy" by the girls.

Wlhlle working in the plaht, police said. Dennis helped uncover a racket in wihich vital war sup- plies were being smuggled out and sold on the black market.

“He told us he was proud of be- lniz ti. society hut-sitar." police said. “But he wasn't: going to stand by and see our war effort hampered."

Mr. Martin said.

DECLARE IMPORTS

(Continued from Page 1)

W". by marketing specialist Arth- ur M- Bendlbers. said the United States has been "an important buyer 01-’ foreisn fishery products." But, since the end of the war, ini- ports had increased as eccporta do. clined. The excess of imports over ex- ports during the first nine months of 1948 was $77,000,000 pounds, or 361000.000. he said.

"This Cmlparcs with a pro-war annual excess of 213,000,000 pounds, oa- l6.000.000 dollars."

Cause of Trouble

The report says international ex- change difficulties and, "to a less. or extent, the growing trend to- ward self-sufficiency" in Europa are the chief reasons for the ex- port drop.

Canada's total exports during the first half of 1948 were equal to 50°59 0! 1947. the department says. Canned fish exports were down 50 Per cent, while those of fresh and frozen fish were up 41 per 0am, Exports of fillets had been largely to the United States.

I AflrQuofill

Both Del Torchio and Fuihrm asked the Senate committee Ici- ddinife limits or quotas on 1m- ports of foreign fish and increased tariffs to equalize the higher wages and costs of the United States fish- ing industry.

Del Torchio said Canada, Ice- land and other foreign fish export- ers are subsidizing fishing fleets and exports in an effort to gain American dollars. He said New England fishermen are willing to share the domestic market but not "to the extent that we put ourselves out of business."

He said tariff-cutting wiped out the salt and mocked fish industry in the United States. which went to Canada. The industry feat-s the some thing may happen to the gosh and frozen fish trade, he add-
