HANDS UP! WHO'S THERE?

MASKED .MAN WITH A REVOLVER. Auckland, April '27. "Hands up—Who's there?' 1 was the somewhat' disconcerting greeting that Annie Elizabeth Godfrey, a resident of Hobson street, got at the head of the stairs in hor house about 5.30 p.m. cu Saturday from a masked man who ear ried a revolver in his hand, Mrs Godfrey's nerves, however, wore proof against such trilling surprises, for recognising tlie masked one as a man who rented a room .in the house, she just pushed past him and went to the kitchen again. When she went to the door to empty the teapot the man with the revolver came behind her and stood over her but said nothing the while. When she returned to the kitchen the marked face and hand clasping the revolver were thrust round the side of the door. A silent reconnaissance of the kitchen scene was made by the marked man, but .Mr. ftndfrey serenely refused to transfer his interest from the evening paper for any little interruption like that, and .Mrs. Godfrey calmly proceeded with her preparation for the evening meal, so the marked menace withdrew, while Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey ha<l tea and went out for the evening. They returned home about eleven o clock to iind their lodger, Herbert Anderson, fast asleep on tiic kitchen floor, with the revolver, loaded in two chambers, lying beside liirn, and a loose cartridge beside the revolver. "We took the matter seriously then," explained Mrs. Godfrey to Mr. Cutten, S.M., to-day, when Anderson was charged with having been drunk and with having assaulted 'his landlady by pointing a revolve)' at her. Anderson is a stalwart young waterside worker. I-Je got drunk on Sat irdav, he said, and remembered getting home to his room, but ho had no recollection at all of what happened afterwards. His Worship convicted Anderson and cautioned him to leave the drink alone altogether since it played such tricks with him. Inspector MeGrath: "I think we had better keep tae revolver for the liresent,.'' Mis Worship: "Yes, you had better keep it altogether."
