Two local lumbermen, William Rambo and John Tolmie, have been sentenced to two and three-year prison terms, respectively, for smashing windows of shops which they thought were owned by Jews.
Police Inspector Harry Whelan and Constable A.W, Lindsay both testified that defendants made anti-Semitic remark before commencing their window-smashing operations. In handing down the verdict, the magistrate declared: “This was a considered ##act. There is no doubt in my mind at all that it was inspired by anti-racial feeling anti-social bias.”
