A SYDNEY SENSATION.
MISSING TRUST MONEYS. WELLINGTON, May 2. Broadcast station 2FC (Sydney) announced to-night that the Civic Commissioners have received news from New Zealand that Mr Maling will leave Wellington next Tuesday by the Makura for Sydney. A cable from Sydney last week stated: The Civic Commissioners, who are holding an investigation into the purchase of electrical apparatus during the past five years, have made a discovery of trust moneys, an explanation of which is desired from Silas Y. Maling. the deputy general manager of the City Council’s Electricity Department, who recently secured a medical certificate on the ground of illness prior to taking long leave, and is now believed to be in Auckland. A detective has gone to New Zealand to interview Maling. before he continues his voyage to the United States, concerning the ownership of large sums of trust moneys remitted from Britain to Sydney. The person who now holds the money informed the Taxation Department that he is holding the money on behalf of Mailing, whose answer to this assertion is so essential that it is regarded necessary that Maling should return to Sydney.
