COMMITTED FOR SENTENCE.
LARGE SUM INVOLVED. Per Press’ Association. AUCKLAND, June 30. Twenty-one charges of thefts of sums of money totalling £1950, the property of his employers, between March, 1936, and June, 1938, were admitted in the Police Court to-day by Frederick Harold Rose, aged 50, who had been employed for ten years as a clerk for the Union Oil, Soap and Candle Company. In a statement to the police Rose said he was a widower living with his children at Epsom. He had got into difficulties through betting on horses, and then thought out the idea of sending to the head office false returns for tallow, collecting cheques and cashing them. “I am sorry this has happened,” Rose said “Instead of making good the money I got further into debt.”
Having pleaded guilty to all the charges, Rose was committed to the Supreme Court for sentence, being remanded in custody.
