ABATTORS MEN ON TRIAL
Theft of Wheat Alleged
IVES COMMITTED
Further charges of larceny against former officers of the Metropolitan Abattoirs Board were heard by Mr. E. J. R. Morgan; S.M., in the Adelaide Police Court today. The charges were against Herbert Parbury Ive, aged 68, former works manager, and Herbert Casson, of Pooraka, a former employee at the Abattoirs. . . .
DISMISSED RECENTLY
Frederick William Naylor Fillmore, secretary and general manager of the abattoirs, said that Ive and Casson were dismissed recently. Cross-examined by Mr. Nelligan, Fillmore said that there had been a few cases of manure having been delivered from the abattoirs without any charge being made. When that was done he gave instructions from the office to the works. Mr. Nelligan-Did you have manure delivered to your private residence in December last year? -I may have done. And in November, 1933? -I may have done. Have you paid for it in every case?--As far as I can recollect, yes, although perhaps not in one or two early instances. Fillmore said that the board had granted concessions with regard to his garden. Other employees were granted concessions, such as the right to keep stock on the property. Mr. Nelligan- Did those concessions include the right to feed the stock in the board's paddocks?-Yes. And the right to use the board's hay? -I could not say that.
CONCESSIONS POSSIBLE
Fillmore said that Casson might have been granted concessions by Ive, and might reasonably have believed that Ive had the right to give him permission to keep poultry on Abattoirs property. . . .

CRIMINAL SITTINGS
The November Criminal Sittings of the Supreme Court were continued yesterday. Mr. Justice Piper presided, and the Crown Prosecutor (Mr. R.R. Chamberlain) appeared for the Crown.
Trial Of Abattoirs Works Manager, Herbert Parbury Ive, 68, works manager, of Gepp's Cross, pleaded not guilty to a charge of having as a servant of the Metropolitan Abattoirs Board, between November 21, 1928 and December 4, 1929, near Gepp's Cross, stolen 57 sheep valued at £51, belonging to or in the possession or power of the board. The Crown Prosecutor was assisted by Mr. C.L. Abbott, and Mr. F.V. Smith, K.C., with Mr. A.S. Blackburn, appeared for Ive. Mr. Chamberlain, in opening, said that as works manager at the Abattoirs, Ive was in complete control of the works at Gepp's Cross, a position of responsibility and trust. After the weekly sales at the Abattoirs, odd numbers of sheep in excess of those bought were kept in a separate flock, the numbers of which were not recorded. The 57 sheep in the charge were from this flock, and had been sold on Ive's account. It was only this year that the theft, a difficult one to trace, was discovered. Stanley McGregor Reid, chartered accountant, of Andrew avenue, Mills wood (chairman of the board), said that on August 15 he interviewed the accused in the presence of Mr. Phelps and Mr. Fillmore, of the board, at the board's office in Pirie street. Ive said he had not sold any sheep between August 1929, and the date of the interview. The three transactions referred to in a letter from his bank were explained by Ive as being the proceeds of the sale of 60 or 70 sheep which he had sold through Coles Bros, after buying them from Gough Sykes, since dead. Sykes was formerly head drover at the Abattoirs. These transactions were confirmed by Coles Bros. Frederick William Naylor Fillmore, secretary and general manager of the board, of Fifth avenue, St. Peters, said that he had held his present position since July, 1915; and that his office was at the board's headquarters in the city. The accused had held his position as works manager with the board from 1909 until his dismissal and had complete control at the works. He had no authority to appropriate or sell sheep from the surplus flock. Claims by butchers for errors in delivery amounting to over £2 had to be referred to the witness. The surplus flock was resorted to make good any shortage in deliveries. John Powell, acting works manager of the Board, of Dutton terrace, Medindie, said he had been chief clerk at Gepp's Cross since 1912, until he assumed his present position. The surplus flock was made up of strays at the works, over deliveries and natural increase. Any shortage in delivery to a butcher would be paid for by the Board, where it could not be replaced by a carcass, and any sheep over would go into the flock. Wilkes was the head -drover prior to his dismissal this year, and in his care the surplus flock was placed. Records as to the flock were first instituted only about two months ago, continued today.
Frederick Thomas Wilkes, drover, of Airlie avenue, Prospect, said he became head drover at the Abattoirs in 1928 when Gough Sykes, the previous head drover, died. The witness was before that head brand. As head drover the surplus flock was under his supervision. Usually there were between 100 to 200 sheep in the flock. While head brander he assisted Sykes to remove sheep from the flock to the market. While head drover he had removed sheep from the flock to the markets on Ive's instructions three or four times, each time removing 15 to 20 sheep. At the market he had seen them at Coles Bros.' sale yards. Ive had told him to put them in the dip yard, and that he would ring up Coles. In August last Ive communicated with him and got him to sign a document written by Ive. Kinnear, the cashier, witnessed the signature. The document certified that to the best of the witnesses knowledge and belief the sheep delivered to the market were the property of Ive and not the Board. "The sheep did not belong to Ive. I signed the wrong document," said Wilkes. "He told me they were accusing him of selling the sheep. He asked me to sign the document and I signed it." In response to a message, said the witness, he went to Ives place about September 15. Ive said he got the sheep from Sykes, and told him to say he got them from Sykes.
Cross-examined by Mr Smith, Wilkes said he was interviewed by the Police several times. The never threatened him. In reply to the question whether he had seen Mr Abbott, the witness replied, "I don't know Mr Abbott, and I don't want to know him."
The hearing will be continued today.
