AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE
'A MYSTERIOUS FOREIGNER. . The name Ludinil Gromica is a rather unusual one, but its owner, at present a lodger in the police cells at Lambton Quay Police Station, is a much more unusual and even extraordinary personage.' A week or so ago he came under the notice of the police authorities down south, and was charged with vagrancy. The Charitable Aid Board took his case up, however, and they were suspicious that ho was not mentally perfect. His passage to Wellington was paid by the board, and he arrived here to be placed in the Ohiro Home. A day or two ago, however, the foreigner—who is understood to be a Russian —began to behave in a most extraordinary manner. Such unconventional actions as thrusting his . head through tho daily newspaper ended in Gromica being handed over to tho polico. This morning he will > appear before _ the Magistrate, charged with being idle and disorderly. The mysterious foreigner, who apparently cannot speak a word of English, was heard soliloquising yesterday in an unintelligible language. Ho has not a penny in his pockets.
