GOT WHAT HE WANTED
SWISS VAGRANT “COULDN’T FIND THE JOB” There is a lot of satisfaction in being able to achieve one’s ambition. Joseph Feller, a shock-headed young Swiss, wanted very badly to go to gaol. Ten days ago he was found wandering round the city in the early hours with a stone in his pocket, with which he intended, so he said, to break a window so that he might be locked up. He was locked up, all right, but without doing the damage, and subsequently handed over to Captain Davies to see if the Salvation Army could find something for him to do. A job was found for him at Papakura and Feller was presented with a railway ticket, and duly dispatched southwards. Last night, just after 12 p.m., Constable Hughes found him wandering in Hobson Street. The magistrate had no option but to consign him to Mount Eden for a month.
