THEFTS ADMITTED
SUM INVOLVED £1950 (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. June 30. Twenty-one charges of theft of sums of money totalling £1950, the property of his employers, between March, 1936, and June, 1938, were admitted in the Magistrates’ Court today by Frederick Harold Rose, aged 50, who had been employed for 10 years as a clerk for the Union Oil, Soap and Candle Company. In a statement to the police, Rose said that he was a widower living with his children at Epsom. He had got into difficulties through betting on horses and then thought out the idea of sending to the head office false returns for tallow, collecting cheques, and cashing them. “I am sorry this has happened,” stated Rose. “Instead of making good the money, I got further into debt.”
Having pleaded guilty to all charges, Rose was committed to the Supreme Court for sentence. He was remanded in custody.
