BOOT STEALING
‘ MASSICK’S SPECIALTY 52 PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS This is an age of specialists. Thomas Henry Massicks, a gentleman of 64, for instance, has made a long study of stealing boots. He appeared in the Police Court this morning for the 53rd time, charged with stealing a pair of boots from outside the K.K. Footwear sliop in Karangahape Road. “I was drunk, that’s all,” he explained. “That is not an unusual condition for you, is it?” commented the magistrate. “I’ve only been out a month—worse luck,” he said in reply to a question regarding his last sojourn in Mt. Eden. You seem to spend your time in coming out and going back again,” said Mr. McKean as he sent the bootstaier “back again” for three months.
