STRONG CONDEMNATION
POISONING AND ATTEMPTED POISONING P.A. CHRISTCHURCH. Oct 18. Poisoning and attempted poisoning were classes of crime that could not be tolerated in New Zealand, for it was an insidious form of crime in which the person who did it once was liable to do it again, said Mr Justice Fleming in the Supreme Court in Christchurch this morning, when he sentenced Joseph Nalepa, a grinder, aged 37, to one year’s reformative detention on a charge of attempting to make his wife, June Annette Nalepa, take poison with intent to annoy or injure her. s ‘l am afraid he is one of those people with a leaning towards administering poison,” his Honor continued. “It is my duty to put him away to teach him and others that poisoners are not wanted here ”
