Treatment Recommended ' By Jury
Finding Patrick George Kubler, labourer and carpenter, aged 29, guilty on two of three charges of obscene exposure, a jury in the Supreme Court, Wellington, yesterday recommended that he receive medical or psychological treatm The Chief Justice ('Sir Michael Myers) said when the rider had been announced that in December. 1937, Kubler was convicted of two similar offences, and admitted to probation for two years. The next year, while still on probation, he was convicted of the same class of offence and ordered to appear for sentence if called on within a year. “It is very difficult,” said his Honour, “to know what, is to be done with these men. I am afraid we have not reached that stage of scientific knowledge when it is possible to know what is to be done, but a note will be made and it will go to the proper authorities,” He remanded prisoner till Wednesday for sentence, and directed Mr. W. R. Birks, who had conducted the prosecution, to obtain for the Court a report on prisoner by a psychiatrist before Wednesday. Mr. W. J. .Stacey appeared for prisoner.
