Well that's interesting!
On October 24, 1924, Smith, the former Ontario Farmers of Ontario MPP for Perth South, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud the government and sentenced to three years in jail. He and his co-conspirator, Aemilius Jarvis , were jointly fined $600,000, which would be the equivalent of $10.5 million in 2023.
