GAVE UP CRIME.
JOINED SALVATION ARMY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 20, 11.15 p.m. Sydney, July 20. Two youths, named Powell and Spithill, were committed for trial on charges of assault, an attempt to rob and conspiring to assault and rob. A youth who is alleged to be an accomplice made a statement which implicated the two accused in a series of robberies at Hornsby. He said he had embarked on a career of crime with them, but later joined the Salvation Army and gave up crime. His reason for giving evidence was that since he had joined the Army he had dedicated himself to truth.
