GIRL’S THEFT

UNKNOWN MAN SUSPECTED

[per press association.]

WELLINGTON, May 7.

Suggestions that an unknown man was the moving spirit in the robbery, were made in the Police Court today, when Ngaio Turner, 18, dressmaker, pleaded guilty, and was committed to the Supreme Court for sentence, on a charge of breaking, entering and stealing a gramophone and records and clothing valued at £lO7/6/-. The evidence of the detectives was that on searching accused’s room, they found an autoipatic pistol, six chambered revolver, a bludgeon, and a small torch. The stolen goods were recovered at the railway station, where they had been left by the accused in suit cases. She had been in trouble before. ■, The detectives are of the opinion that she was not alone in the robbery, but was assisted by a man who had influence over her. The police do not know who the man is. Accused has denied his .existence.
