• Note*: circa 1922; Belleville, Hastings Co., Ontario; "Combining the activities of rum-runner and bootlegger was a fairly common practice in eastern Ontario. At Belleville, for example, there were three major bootleggers, Doc Welbanks, Harry Ketcheson, and Harry Yanover. Both Wel- banks and Ketcheson were also rum-runners." from "Booze boats and billions", by C.W. (Claude William) Hunt, McClelland and Stewart, 1988, page 175.¹¹
• Note: 25 June 1924; Hastings Co., Ontario; Ketcheson owned a farm on the north side of the Belle- ville-Trenton road. This posed a problem as the Bay Bridge was located between the government dock, where Ketcheson picked up his load of Corby’s whisky, and the shoreline in front of Ketcheson’s farm where the whisky was unloaded. Most cruisers were too large to pass under the bridge. Eventually, Ketcheson found a boat with a low enough freeboard to pass safely under the bridge when fully loaded. The booze so transported was then stored in a specially constructed barn and later distributed to smaller bootleggers throughout Prince Edward and Hastings counties. The opp and, in particular, Naphan made many searches but were never able to locate the Trent Road farmer’s secret cache. But eventually, Ketcheson slipped up. He was driving along a lonely country road about midnight on June 25, 1924. In the back seat of his big sedan were three cases of Gooderham and Worts whisky, which he was taking to one of his small bootlegging customers. When Inspector Naphan spotted Ketcheson’s car, the bootlegger took off at top speed. In the ensuing chase, Naphan got alongside Ketcheson who refused to pull over. As the two vehicles careened along the narrow country road, the 280-pound Naphan turned the wheel over to Trenton Police Chief William Bain and leaped onto the running board of the speeding sedan. Not surprisingly, the bulky policeman sprained his ankle, and probably dented the running board. But he succeeded in his purpose: Ketcheson was caught with the goods in his car." from "Booze boats and billions", by C.W. (Claude William) Hunt, McClelland and Stewart, 1988, page 177.¹¹
