"DUAL PERSONALITY"
GUILTY OF ASSAULT
THREE YEARS'BORSTAL
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day,
John Stuart Jarman, who pleaded guilty to a charge of assault today, was sentenced to three years' Borstal detention by Mr. Justice Northcroft.
Mr. C. S. Thomas, for Jarman, "said that the prisoner sufl\>2d from a dual personality. With another young man he converted a car in which he found a ~bottle of chloroform, and Jarman tried it out on the first passer-by. His Honour said that the present offence was a breach of Jarman's probation order in that he was ordered not to drive cars. He had stolen a car and attacked a young woman with chloroform—an exceedingly dangerous substance in unskilled hands. Further leniency might not only encourage further criminality, but might constitute a danger to the public.
