FRAUD CHARGES
AGAINST J. WOOLCOTT FORBES PROCEEDINGS IN SYDNEY. MEMBER OF STATE PARLIAMENT ARRESTED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) SYDNEY. This Day. The "Daily Telegraph” says Ronald Bruce Walker. M.L.A.. was arrested last night on a country train, in connection with charges against the missing Woolcott Forbes. Albert Levitus, a solicitor, and Clive Oscar Airey, a traveller, were also arrested late last night in Sydney, charged with conspiring with Forbes. A message received from Sydney on January 19 stated that John Woolcott Fcrbes, an Australian, well-known in commercial and racing circles, had been arrested at Bombay in accordance with cabled instructions from the Sydney police when the liner Strathnaver berthed. A later message added that he had been released oil bail pending the hearing of an application for his extradition to Sydney, where it was alleged that, with others, he had conspired to defraud the Producers' and General Finance Corporation and other persons of large sums of money.
