"INDUCED TO SIGN"
MAGISTRATE DISBELIEVES GIRL [Pier United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, November 18. Mr Hunt, S.M., this morning refused to believe a- young woman who accused Detective Lambert of being party to a bluff to induce her to make and sign a confession of an offence she did not commit. The girl (aged, twenty) was charged with the theft of £7, which her father gave her to post to tho bank. She sot up the defence that Lambert induced her to sign a confession on the threat that he would take her to the police station; also that he hold out that, as the case was a family matter, nothing more would be heard of it. She was convicted and ordered to pay costs, and to come up for sentence if called on within a year. Her name was suppressed.
