STREET TELEPHONES
THEFT OF CONTENTS PHOTOGRAPHS USED AS EVIDENCE. (Peb United Press associations WELLINGTON, December 13. Greatly enlarged photographs of a screwdriver point and of marks on damaged telephone slot machines were an important link in the evidence upon which a man was convicted in the Police Court to-day of breaking open three street telephones and stealing the contents. The accused was George Henry Trillo, a seaman, aged 26, and he was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment on two charges of the theft of pennies, the sentences to be cumulative, and convicted on a third charge of theft. On a charge of vagrancy he was ordered to come up for sentence within two years if called upon. The magistrate, Mr E. Page, remarked that the photographs showed unmistakably that the screwdriver found on the accused had been used to break open the boxes. • /
