SUPREME COURT
LENGTHY TRIAL. (Per United Press Association). NAPIER, June 8. A lengthy trial concluded at the Supreme Court to-day. Raymond Edwards, alias Roy Nash, was charged that at Feilding, on April 9, 1922, he received £25 from the Treasure Cycle and Vulcanising Depot and failed to account for the money to the Edwards Vulcanising Equipment and Manufacturing Company, of which accused was a director. Edwards was also charged, that at Dunedin on November 3, 1922, he received £166 from E. R. Burgess, and failed to account for the same to the Company, or in alternative, did steal a vulcanising plant valued at £4OO, the property of the Company. It was accused’s duty to travel the country for the Company, getting orders for the plant, and the first charge was in respect to a plant sold at Feilding, for which full purchase money had not been accounted for. Evidence concerning the second and third charges, showed that accused handed the plant to Burgess, in settlement of a private debt, without the authority of the Company. The jury returned a verdict of guilty on the first and second charges, and, he was remanded for sentence.
