CASHMERE SHOOTING SEQUEL

MAN SENT TO PRISON [FEB PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, August 10. > Arthur Henry Way, 53, salesman, ; was charged, to-day, with failing to ’ comply with the terms of his release, after being convicted and ordered to • come up for sentence if called upon, and with being found unlawfully on enclosed premises at 89 Hackthorne Road, Christchurch. Accused pleaded not guilty, but after evidence on both sides had been heard, the Magistrate said the accused’s failure to comply with terms of release, was abundantly proved and he sentenced Way to three months imprisonment on one charge, and one month on the other, to be cumulative. Detective-Sergeant Revell outlined the evidence, which led to Mrs Long injuring the accused with a revolver at Christchurch on March 25. Accused, following his being found unlawfully on Mrs Long’s premises, was later convicted and ordered to come up for sentence if called upon, a condition being that he was not to go near Mrs Long or molest her in any way. Detective-Sergeant Revell explained that accused had returned to worrying and pestering Mrs Long for money, with the result she left Christchurch, and took a flat in Wellington. Accused followed and continued pestering her. In evidence, Mrs Long said that she had never invited accused to her place. Altogether he had obtained about £2OO from her.

The Magistrate said: The trouble between these people has already resulted in one shooting affray, and if the man persists in annoying, we may have a repetition of it.
