DECISION OF THE HARBIN PEOPLE'S COURT, NO. 158 CHARAC ER 'FEI' OF 1953.
Plaintiff: Commercial-Industrial Department of the Harbin Control.
25X1A2g
Defendant: Ya. M. Teltoft, male, 62 years of age, Polish national residing
in Harbin at No. 33 Pekarnaya Ulitsa, Pristan.
In the matter of the Khan Sin Machine Shop, Chkhao Li Na No. 79,
Examination shows that Ya. M. Teltoft states:
"(The shop) was opened in 1920 by myself and three American citizens,
they owning 515 shares and I 485 shares. In 1929 they engaged in
speculation on the Ltoc7 market and as a result the Khan Sin firm
was bankrupted, and the capital of the firm was transferred from Harbin
to New York to pay its debts. For this reason when the Khan Sin machine
shop was liquidated in 193- I had not received a part of my salary; also
on the sale of several automobiles I was entitled in equity to a commis-
sion of Yuan 50 on each vehicle; together with interest on the amounts
due. In all,Yuan 57,546.14 was owing to me. Therefore at that time
the value of the machinery and equipment ff the shop7 was assessed and
all of it .was transferred to me."
The Court after investigation finds that:
The defendant is unable to supply the proof necessary to support his claim
that during the period 1927-28 he did not receive his salary or commissions
on the sale of several thousand vehicles, together with interest thereon.
The defendant in this way is seeking to obtain property by fraud; what he
claims is false. At the time in question the defendant was manager Zof
the business7. If he was entitled to receive certain commissions on the
sale of the vehicles, why did he not take them and thereby accumulate sev-
eral thousand uan7? The whole statement is impossible.
The defendant states: "The machine shop was sold to me and an agreement exists,
but the agreement was lodged with the Manchukuo city government." This state-
ment is obviously false; there is no proof of it and the documents concerning
the property which the defendant submits indicate only the registration of the
establishment of the Khan Sin Machine. Shop. It is very difficult jo regard
them? as proof that he had a share in the said machine shop or had documents
covering its sale to him. Therefore it is the decision of the Court that:
The said Khan Sin Machine Shop shall be turned over to the government for pur-
poses of administration. he defendant] is allowed one year in which to sub-
mit proofs; if he is unable to do so, then the said property will be confis-
cated by the government.
