A BESTIAL BEING..

Nelson the Nuisance.

An Exhibitionist Imprisoned.

For some time past the neighborhood of Gladstone Terrace, Keliburne, has been infested by a degenerate brute named Alfred Nelson. This filthy being has, pestered the residents of the district by indulging m a species of sexual depravity, the fiends so addicted being called exhibitionists. Always the filthy fellow managed to avoid detection by throwing his shirt over his face. Recently, however, the pornic pimple omitted this precaution while repeating his unspeakable conduct m view of a lady m the Botanical gardens. A description of him was given to the police^ and he was identified after his arrest was effected.

The sickening, bestial- Nelson was brought Ibeforo Mr.W. G. Riddell, S.M., and pleaded guilty. Sub-Inspec-tor O 'Donovan stated that

THE LOATHSOME INDIVIDUAL had only lately come out of quod, after doing twelve months for a similar offence. ' The vile being was asked whether he had anything to say for himself, but could say nothing beyond, "I'm guilty." He could not even tell bis age, but he appears to be about 25. It was apparent that whatever wits he ever had he had noW practically lost them. The beak sent him to gaol for another six months during which time he will probf"b lTT be examined by a doctor to ascertain his mental condition.
