FOOLISH WOMEN
ESCAPADE LEADS TO ' PUNISHMENT
Dominion Special Service. Dunedin, December 27. A few weeks ago a young single woman busied herself about Dunedin obtaining money and good.; from various townspeople by falsely 'representing that her husband was a builder out of town and that she was short of ready cash. After meeting with a fair measure of success she disappeared to Invercargill, where she consorted with a female companion who evidently was of a like nature. Actuated by some irresponsible whim best known to themselves, the two hired a taxi and went for a long drive to Timaru. Neither having the wherewithal to pay for the conveyance, their arrest followed and the pair were dealt with for obtainig taxi hire by fraud. The pseudo builder’s wife was charged also with committing similar offences in Dunedin.
In order that restitution might be made she was admitted to probation for two years.
