INTRUDER SURPRISED.
DISCOVERED IN BEDROOM.
ARREST OF LABOURER FOLLOWS. AUCKLAND, October 9. A married woman related in the court to-day how she surprised a man in her bedroom at 10 o’clock in the morning. Half an hour previously she noticed a man apparently watching the house. Later she heard a man call out, “ Anybody at home?” She did not answer. The man rang the bell, and a few minutes later she heard the door opened, and she walked into the bedroom and found the man ransacking the drawers. He remarked that he was in the wrong house, and walked out.
Four days later Joseph Marr, aged 39 a labourer, was arrested, and was identified by the woman. When charged to-day with burglary he pleaded not guilty, and was committed for trial.
