diving operation, assisted by

members.

Alongside the bank Cst.
Brewin, wearing a wet suit
and mask, was tied to one
end of a piece of' rope. He
moved gradually into the
river alone and spotted the
body under about 15 feet of
water. He surfaced and
motioned to his partner
Haynes to lower the diving

gear from the top of the |

bridge.

Brewin, now equipped
with body weights and gas
tank, recovered the body
which was located immed-.

according to reports. .

The body was floated down
the river for about 100 yards
from the recovery site to an
area where the incline was
gentle enough for rescuers to
transport the body up the.
canyon, ending the search
which lasted over two hours.

The trial, involving a former employee who is

testifying against a wealthy North Vancouver
owner-operator of a car rental firm charged with
defrauding ICBC, will continue im North

Nancy Morrison.

Budrudin Parpia, in his
50’s, who presently operates
Lo-Cost-Rent-A-Car, 1835
Marine Drive, N.V., has
been accused of falsifying an
invoice which led ICBC to
pay a bill in excess of the
legal amount. The offence
allegedly occurred in 1976
when Parpia was operating a
franchise of the well known
**Host-Rent-A-Car.’’ The
accused has since operated
as an independent under the
name ‘‘Lo-Cost.’’

Bodnaruk, former NV RCMP
chief of general investiga-

allegedly rented a u-drive to
an ICBC client for less than
10 days but sent the
corporation a bill for 30 days’

Bodnaruk,the first Crown
witness to testify, said he
searched Parpia’s. premises
on Marine
search warrant and seized a
receipt book, a ledger and

_other documents on Aug. 4,

1976.

Evidence suggested that
the bill should have been
$126, but Parpia instructed

Miss Hargreaves, now
employed by ICBC, has told
the court, in reply to a
question, that she became’
suspicious when her empioy-
er instructed her to ‘‘doctor’’

Under cross examination

‘by Defence counsel J.

Rowan, Miss Hargreaves
stood firm and denied she
was an accomplice in the
incident. She repeated that
she was merely following
instructions from her boss.

When Bodnaruk was re-
called to the stand Rowan
suggested to the witness that
he knew Hargreaves made a
false entry and a false invoice
yet Bodnaruk failed to charge
her for the offence.

“I did not take any action

sufficient evidence, I would

Hargreaves said she did
so, and handed the money to
Parpia. She denied that she

received any part of the

money.

The bulk of defence
evidence were taken up by
several pages of accounting
records. To assist Rowan in
studying the records an
independent accountant, has
been hired. He sat at counsel
table answering questions

which Rowan had from time
to time.

A major part of the trial
dealt with figures and dates,
and on several occasions
Judge Morrison had to raise
hypothetical examples to

clarify certain
points.

at one point.’” The trial
