"There's Gold in Them Thar Bars''. Seattle, Wash. Leo Morland, 39 year old Vancouver, B.C. metallurgist, took his life savings, totaling over $57,000 and converted it into solid gold bars. He hid the bars in various places in his automobile, and tried to cross the Canadian-U.S. border at Blaine, Wash. He intended converting the gold into U.S. currency and then retire in Canada. Something went wrong and Customs officials picked him up at Blaine, and off to jail went Mr. Morland. Today, in Seattle, he waived hearing on a charge of smuggling, and was bound over to a Federal Grand Jury by U.S. Commissioner H.S. Elliot. His bond was set at $25,000. If Morland had only known, he could have passed the U.S. Customs without paying duty, by declaring the gold. Now he stands to lose his fortune and term. Photo Shows the 57 bars of solid gold, $1000.00, as they were held in Seattle today.
