IGNORED WARNINGS
THREE MONTHS’ GAOL FOR LOITERER REFUSED INFORMATION Loitering the streets brought gaol for three months for a gum-sorter, James Orban Graves, when he appeared this morning in the Police Court. The evidence for the police showed that Graves had ignored a warning from a detective and had refused to give any information concerning his residence. “I have known him for a considerable period and have not known him to do anything, and I have usually seen him in a drunken condition,” were the comments of detectives. Graves pleaded not guilty. “Do you want to say anything?” asked Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M. Accused: No, sir. Mr. Hunt: Well, you are sentenced to three months. A watersider, John Hanley, aged 65, pleaded not guilty to a charge of being idle and disorderly and of having insufficient means of support. Sub-Inspector McCarthy gave it as his view that Hanley should not be allowed to continue wandering about the streets. On a statement by Captain Holmes that the Salvation Army would take care of Hanley, Mr. Hunt granted a remand for a week.
