KEEN TO GO TO GAOL
MISERY ON BOARD SHIP SEAMAN SMASHES WINDOW (By Telegraph.—Press Association) NEW PLYMOUTH, Tuesday “I want to go to gaol and miss this ship. My life’s a misery on the ship. They are all working against me,” said Over Stephen Krisch, a seaman, aged 29, when charged before Mr W. H. Woodward, S.M., today with causing £25 damage by putting his foot through a plate glass window of a shop in Devon Street, New Plymouth, last night. Senior-Sergeant Turner said accused was in town with some of his mates. About 7 p.m. an argument took place over, according to accused, his mates calling him a “Boer,” because he was a native of South Africa. He then deliberately put his foot through the window. His mates said accused attempted to attack them with a piece of broken glass, so they knocked him out. All the men had been drinking but were not drunk.
Accused was convicted and ordered to make restitution to the extent of £lO, and to be placed on the ship on payment of the money.
