SICK MAN’S MONEY
Particularly Mean Theft By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, January 30. “It was a particularly mean theft,” said Detective-Sergeant Doyle when Charles Thomas Woods, aged 32, pleaded guilty to stealing £2/17/6 from William McKee at Auckland a year ago. The police stated that accused and complainant bad worked together in an Auckland freezing plant. Complainant became seriously ill, being in hospital for nine months, and when his life was despaired of he gave accused an order to draw the money due to him as wages. Accused did so, but cleared out with complainant’s money and clothes. Last week Detective Doyle recognised him when he entered the Magistrate’s Court to give evidence in another case. The magistrate, in sentencing accused to three months’ imprisonment, said that his jail record showed that he was of no account.
