MISSING MACHINES
LABOURER CHARGED
The disappearance of ten hand-| stamping machines from the cargo of j the Anglo-Canadian between Wellington and Lyttelton last month, formed the basis of charges of theft and receiving against Jack Juronovich, a labourer, aged 27, who appeared before Mr. E. D. Mosley, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court today. Juronovich was charged with the theft of the machines, valued at £10, and the property of, the Excelsior Supply Company, Limited, or alternatively with having, received the machines, knowing them to have been dishonestly obtained. He pleaded not guilty in each instance, and was committed to the Supreme Court for trial, bail being allowed in the sum of £50 and one surety of £50. Mr. F. W. Ongley appeared for the accused, and Detective-Sergeant L. B. Revell conducted the case for the police. A pawnbroker's assistant gave evidence of having bought ten stamping machines from Juronovich, who stated that he had received them from a friend. Detective R. R. Tripney read a statement by the accused in which he said he had been asked to sell the machines by a friend who was a sailor on one of the American boats, and had brought them out from America. They had been handed over in the accused's room, when two girls were present.
