ALLEGED BETTING FRAUDS.
SECOND GISBORNE CASE. A MISSING TELEGRAM. (By Telegraph.;— Press Association.) GISBORNE, this day. A second case arising out of the alleged telegraphic betting frauds is proceeding in the Magistrate's Court to-day. McKinnon and Fountain, against whom a similar charge on Monday was dismissed, this time are charged conjointly with Charles Thomas Clifford Hands, telegraphist, with conspiring to defraud Arthur Yeo, bookmaker, of Napier, of £120 by means of a forged telegram. Detective McLeod explained that in this case the original of the telegram missing established that it was handed in by McKinnon when Fountain was at the counter, and that Hands was engaged on the Napier wire at the time it was dispatched.
