According to copyrighted
story in the Vancouver Sun, Cor
don Stuart Northcott, who is held
here an murder farm charge and

clared he will fight extradition.
He said:
A lot of stories are being cir
culated about me and they are
all untrue. What awful things to
say about a man! Some people
have been suffering from too
much imagination and a lot Of
people will be sorry when this
case is cleared up"
He said he wanted 70 get his
mother to a place where she
could not know of the charges and
then come back alone and fight
them.
