THEFT OF MONEY
SECRETARY ADMITS GUILT. (By Telegraph—Press Association). HAMILTON, April 29. Two charges of theft of money totalling £965 2s Bd, the property of the Oparau Dairy Company, were admitted by Charles Edward Crews, aged 48, company secretary, before Justices of the Peace in the Hamilton Magistrate’s Court. Evidence was given that accused was appointed secretary and organiser of the company in October, 1934, and that the thefts occurred between June, 1936, and November, 1936, by the drawing of cheques and debiting them to various accounts. He admitted that he had spent some of the money on extravagant living, but said that some of the expenses should rightly have been a charge against the company. Accused was committed to the Supreme Court at Hamilton for sentence next week.
