LARGE SUM INVOLVED STRANGE EARLY CONFESSION (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) Reed. 0.20 a.m. BRISBANE, To-day. Eileeij Wall, who was charged with robbing her employers of £7,851, was acquitted. There were cheers within and outside the court when the girl’s employers admitted that the handwriting in the falsified bank-book was not Wall’s. The story of an office-girl's exploits was told in the Police Court on May 8. Eileen Wall, employed by the Perdriau Rubber Company, admitted falsifying accounts and embezzling £B,OOO. She declared to a detective that she “blew the whole lot” in frocks, having bought miles of them. She also said she had a good time at the races. The case was adjourned, for the police were trying to discover the accomplices, the girl’s conversation indicating that there were several. Later, the girl was committed for trial on a charge of stealing £7,851. She reserved her defence.
