Wanted Man’s Visit To Police Station
(New Zealand Press Association) DUNEDIN, March 17. While police were inquiring for him, James Richard tester, alias Frederick Smythe, alias Servo, a fireman, aged 23, of Auckland, was in the Dimedin Central Police Station asking to be "shown around.” He claimed he was interested in the New Zealand penal system, Detective-Sergeant K. T. F. Samson said in the Magistrate’s Court.

D. Willis, S.M.
