ALLEGED CAR CONVERSION
O.C. PALMERSTON N., This Day. Geoffrey William Gill, of Wellington, has been committed to the Supreme Court at Palmerston North for trial on a charge of converting a motor-car on October 14, 1939, in Palmerston North. The owner, Mrs. A. C. Orr, reported it missing after she had attended a wedding breakfast. The car was recovered at Island Bay in a private garage owned by Mrs. L. Solomon, who told Justices of the Peace in the Magistrate's Court yesterday that the accused had paid a month's rent for the garage and then disappeared. That was in April last. In August she notified the police,, the car being still there. In a statement to Detective J. H. Alty, of Wellington, Gill said he bought the car for £200 from a man he knew only as "Shorty," while working at the Centennial Exhibition. Gill pleaded not guilty.
