Swindlers Parted
ONE SENT TO ASYLUM, THE OTHER TO GAOL. Per Press Association. • WELLINGTON, Dec. 14. Cyril Thomas Millar, aged 23, was sentenced by Mr E. Page, S.M., today, to six months’ imprisonment for fraudulently obtaining money by means of valueless cheques. The cheques were lettered by an acquaintance who was recently discharged from prison. The men hired a car for the purpose of leaving Wellington, but ran into & pole at Porirua, and the accused injured his head. His companion was arrested and, after appearing in Court, was sent to the Mental Hospital. Counsel for the accused said there appeared to be very little to be said in. his favour, but there seemed to be some truth in an allegation that his downfall was due to the fact that lie had got into touch with the man who had since been sent to the Mental Hospital.
