MR.
WATT'S
STATEMENT
Dubs
Theft
Charge
of
Minister
of
Finance
"Deniable
Subterfuge"
Begirding
Mr.
Shelly's
charge
of
theft
of
coroner's
fees,
Norman
A.
Watt,
former
government
agent,
said
this
morning:
"I
deny
absolutely
any
wrong
In
connection
therewith.
I
mas
appointed
to
ti
e
office
of
coroner
in
October,
1931.
I
was
given
no
instructions
whatever
other
than
those
received
from
my
predecessor
in
office.
Walter
Gale,
who
Informed
mt
that
I
was
entitled
to
all
coroner
fees
paid
by
the
city
of
Prince
Rupert.
He
at
that
time
told
me
he
had
collected
sueh
fees.
At
the
time
of
my
dismissal
last
May
I
in
turn
also
Informed
my
successor
In
office.
C.
L.
Monroe,
that
he
was
entitled
to
such
fees.
The
first
and
only
intimation
ever
received
that
I
was
not
entitled
to
these
fees
was
in
a
letter
received
from
the
deputy
attorney-general
in
November
last,
demanding
the
immediate
return
of
the
fees
in
question.
This
I
have
not
done,
and
I
challenge
the
government
to
bring
suit
against
me
for
the
recovery
of
them.
Mr.
Shelly
now
states
that
the
theft
of
:hese
fees
formed
the
basis
of
the
grounds
of
my
dismissal.
Mr.
Shelly
knew
nothing
whatever
of
the
coroner
situation
at
the
time
of
my
dismissal.
I
can
only
regard
his
recent
charge
as
a
despicable
subterfuge
and
dare
him
to
repeat
the
charge
outside
the
legislature.
I
predict
it
will
be
the
means
of
driving
him
from
the
political
life
of
this
province."
