5 YEARS’ HARD LABOUR.
Sequel to Roof-top Arrest. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, This Day. When cornered on the roof of a Queen Street theatre Colin William Glass attempted to shoot Detective Whitehead with a revolver. To-day Mr Justice Herdman sentenced him to five years’ hard labour. The Judge said that had not the trigger misfired or descended on to an empty chamber the prisoner might have been standing trial on a much more serious charge. Nothing could be said in his favour except that there was some evidence that he was eccentric. He must be put where he could harm nobody.
