Trial of J.S. Garden on Forgery Charge is Continued
(Rec. 8.40). SYDNEY, January '.,9. The hearing of the case against J. S. Garden, in a special Federal Court, was continued to-day, relative to a charge of forgery in connection with an alleged timber concession case in New Guinea. When two members of the Queensland timber firm of Hancock and Gore, which was under the impression it had secured a lease of a timber concession in New Guinea, visited the site, they found that nobody knew anything about the concession. said Ernest Eldridge Biggs, the solicitor for the company. He said that the company intended to pay one hundred* thousand pounds for the lease, and had already paid fifty thousand pounds. Its reoresentatives had a letter signed, “E. J. Ward, per J. S. Garden”, purporting to grant a concession.
