COMPANY’S HUGE LOSS
TWO MEN CONVICTED OF FRAUD SUM OF £45,000 INVOLVED BRISBANE, Wednesday. Leonard Roy Montefiore, aged 36, insurance manager, and Stanley Robert Montefiore, aged 29, salesman, were convicted of conspiracy at a second trial today. Two other defendants, George Arthur Baker, motor engineer, and Lionel Vincent Shaw, fire assessor, were acquitted. They were charged with conspiring between February and May, 1928, to obtain £2OO by fraud from the Ocean Accident Guarantee Corporation. Prosecuting counsel said a number of similar cases of bogus claims were involved. It was impossible to discover the total defalcations, but during Leonard Montefiore’s managership, the company’s losses were estimated at nearly £45,000.
