AFFAIR WITH GIRL
ATTEMPT TO USE CHLOROFORM JUDGE GRANTS PROBATION (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. On a charge of attempting to administer chloroform to a girl, to which he pleaded guilty at Gisborne, Frank Victor Michie, a labourer, aged 21, was admitted to probation by the Judge, Sir Hubert Ostler, for two years. Accused is to pay the cost of the prosecution, £1 13s and to refrain from communicating with the girl during the term of his probation. Counsel said there was no evil intent. The girl had announced hei’ Intention of going 1o a dance alone, where the prisoner feared she might be maltreated and he conceived the crazy idea of giving her a fright to prevent her from going. Michie had been previously before the Court on a charge of attempting to commit suicide. That was part and parcel of the whole affair with the girl and like the present charge was indicative of his mentality.
