The immigration authorities have revealed that a trio wanted in three countries for two million dollar frauds were expelled because their documents were not in order, and they are probably already in the United States. They were sent to the northern frontier by a special plane. Their names are given as George Blake Irving, Alfred Ernest Dawson and Irving Varney. When the arrests were made their names were announced as John Woolcott-Forbes, Irving Garfunkel and Alfrede Dawson. The police chief, Martinez, said that Washington had advised him that Forbes might use the names of George Blake, George Deplace and George Smith. An earlier message stated: — The police announced the arrest of Jfahn Woolcott-Forbes, who is wanted in Australia on 1,500,000dollar fraud charges, and also in Canada on 500,000-dollar fraud charges. [Forbes, an Australian financier who made a spectacular career in Melbourne and Sydney in the late 1930's, was the object of a wide police hunt shortly before the war. He was at one time detained in Ceylon, but again vanished. Australian detectives fruitlessly went as far afleld as Paris, and Forbes's disappearance seemed complete. In Australia proceedings were taken in the case of other persons connected with companies in which Forbes had been financially interested.l
