MAILBAG CASE
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Feb. 16. Crown evidence was heard today in the trial of Walter Kitchener Ninnim, aged 31, a railways traffic assistant at Wellsford, who is charged with the theft of five mailbags and their contents in April and May last year. Ninnim has pleaded not guilty to each charge before Mr Justice Moller and a jury including three women in the Supreme Court at Auckland. The bags were allegedly consigned by rail from Auckland to towns in the northern area Taipuha, Waiotira, Mangapal and Kalwaka —between April 6 and May 23 last year. Ninnim is alleged to have stolen them from trains at Wellsford station at times when he was on duty there alone. Charles Cameron, a salesman, of Auckland, identified a suit produced in Court as one which he had sold a nephew who lived in Kaiwaka in May last year. He said he had parcelled the suit in Auckland to be posted to his nephew. The hearing will continue tomorrow-
