FORTUNE-TELLER'S FOLLY.
WELLINGTON, Sept. 16..»
Robert Henry Gibson, styling- himself "professor," was to-day committed for trial. He was charged with fortune-telling. The evidence showed that he went from house to house, and, in the course of other statements to the women folk, undertook to show them how to avoid having children. Evidence on these lines was not allowed to be developed, the magistrate ruling that it'was irrelevant to the fortune-telling charges, but could form the basis of other charges. Gibson's request to be dealt with summarily was refused, and he was committed for trial.
