Probation For Nurse On Theft Charge
MASTERTON, July 8. The story of a nurse who climbed along a fire escape, stole a £5 note from the coat of another nurse, and later got hysterical and escaped to Pahiatua after being questioned by the police, was unfolded by Detective Gordon in the Magistrate's Court today, when Betty Pamela Cutler, aged 19, a nurse at the Masterton Hospital, was admitted to probation for six months on a charge of theft. i Stating that suppression of her name would cast suspicion on the large nursing staff at the hospital, the presiding justices refused suppression of her name. Detective Gordon indicated that the next time a nurse from the Masterton Hospital came before the court on a similar charge the police would ask for a heavy pen- ' alty, as a serious view was taken of such thefis.
