REMOVAL OF CASH-BOX. WELLINGTON, April 9. "I don't want innocent men to suffer. I will tell the truth. I took the thing." In this dramatic fashion Thomas Hunter confessed to the police that he alone was responsible for the removal of a cash-box containing £SB 17s lOd from the Terminus Hotel recently. In addition to Hunter, two other men, Rachprd Jones, alias Preston, and Richard Halsam Smith, were to-day charged with the offence. Hunter was committed for sentence, and the others, who pleaded not guilty, were committed for trial.
