ipifl/VP MODERN GIRLS EXPENSIVE | || (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Representative.) jjg If WILLIAM HENRY GLANVILLE is a gay young man. Instead of || II " following the advice of the sage by "putting a little bit away fop § | II a rainy day," he spent his money— "knocking around pictures with || Jl different girls." ... „ , . _ ii II So he told the police when he was arrested the other day for i| H breaking into the house of Charles Frederick Perfect at Takapuna, y II Having been out of work for a time, his motive m breaking _a if II window and ransacking the house immediately adjacent to the resi- || li dence of his father requires no explanation. H 11 But the house of Perfect was apparently a perfect white elephant || II from a burglar's point of view and all the housebreaker was rewarded || ii with after turning the place inside out was half-a-crown. . || ii This was on October 12; five days later, when Glanville was nosing || il around his father's house m search of food, the click of the front gate || il warned him that it does not take the Auckland police long to get on || li the track of the right man when there is a burgary on their list. || 11 Charles, like the fairy-tale bogey man, crept under his father's bed, || II but it availed him not at all m avoiding an interview with the || II visiting constable. . ii II When arrested, he gave his history to the police. He stated that || II he had served his apprenticeship as a painter for four and a- half || || years. Then alternately he occupied his time m the employ of a || ii suburban hotel and at his traded—until finally he was out of a job. §| il~ Recently he had been living at a Newmarket boarding-house, || |i where he was friendly with one of the girl employees. To all appear- || ii anced it paid him to keep m the good books of the young lady, as he jj| li admitted that he did not have to pay any board. 1| 11 "I spent the money I got from my last job on food and knocking !i II around pictures with different girls. I have never given the girls any |f || presents." Thus did he conclude his confession of the offence m hit || if statement to the police. . !! §1 Magistrate Hunt committed him to the Supreme Court f©rl| if sentence. -. ■ |=. iiiuimiM>uuHiMiiimiiwinHM«mmnmiiuJnoimmMaimMiimi»^^^ fj»UHwuim«uaiii«ntmriui»uiHiniiiuii«puMitmmffinTua»iiiH»HiiMn^^
