GIRLS’ STORIES DOUBTED
ESCAPED FROM HOME SEVEN YOUTHS CHARGED Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH. To-day. Two young girls escaped from the Burwood Girls’ Home some time ago. Yesterday seven young men were charged in the Supreme Court with having had unlawful relations with girls under 16 years of age. It was alleged that the girls had stayed in several baches with different young men, and that the acts on which the charges were based occurred there. The defence was that the girls did not live in the baches with the men, but came there asking for food. Frederick James Fox Sullivan and Ernest Crozier were charged with an offence against a girl aged 14, found not guilty and discharged. The Crown Prosecutor said that, as a girl witness had not been believed, he would consider what he would do about the other charges. Accordingly the charges against Victor Robert Blackburn. James Hannan, George Quaid, Charles Timothy Rogol and Maurice Victor Rossiter w*ere held over until to-day.
