CONFESSION OF THEFT
MONEY FOR ENTERTAINMENT REVUE TREASURER’S EXTRAVAGANCE fPeb United Press Association) AUCKLAND, July 1. Colin Moore Mitchinson, aged 23, treasurer of the Clem Dawe Revue Company, pleaded guilty to-day to a charge of stealing £343 of the company’s money, and was committed for sentence. In a statement, the accused said he had been treasurer for two wears at £4 10s per week. In the last six months he had been using the company’s money for arranging parties to make the show popular.' He did this without authority, and most of the money was spent on liquor and petrol. When he discovered a large shortage which he could not balance, he called in an auditor and handed him the books. He was not influenced by anyone, and now knew that what he had done amounted to theft.
