Wellington, April 14.
Successful extradition proceedings were taken to-day in the Magistrate’s Court to have Samuel Tobias, aged 34, furrier, returned to Sydney to face a charge of theft as bailee, the article concerned being a fur coat. Tobias denied the theft. His story was that he had been ruined in business as the result of the publicity in a divorce case, and since going out of a big business had had dealings with Heilman, owner of the coat. With regard to this coat he had told Heilman that he had a prospective buyer, and as he was gofng away the money would be useful to him. He asked Heilman to wait two months.
The police stated that Tobias had started for San Francisco, but was returning after leaving the ship at Rarotonga on being told that he would not be allowed to land. The police indicated that other charges, as far as they knew, would be preferred at Sydney.
