MILITARY DESERTER
A CHARGE OF HARBOURING. (Per United Press Association.) DUNEDIN, September 4. At the Police Court to-day, Daniel Christopher Flanagan and John Francis Flanagan were charged with harbouring and concealing their brother, Edward Joseph Flanagan, a deserter from the Expeditionary Force. It was stated that when the military police went to the house of accused’s parents the accused denied that their brother was there. Search being made he was discovered upstairs. The defence was that accused had no dominion over the house, and that the telling of an untruth regarding the brother’s presence could not be construed into harbouring or concealing under the Act. Accused reserved their defence, and were committed for trial.
