CHARGED WITH THEFT
GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE [ Per Press Association. J WELLINGTON, April 15. When Goodwin Percival Glenn, aged 30, an electrician, was arrested on a charge of theft, his parents lodged enough money with his counsel to bail him out. They requested counsel not to use the money, however, as they considered a short period in gaol would be for accused’s good. Accused had asked for the loan of a clarinet from a man from whom he had rented a room, but ho did not go back again. He offered to trade in the instrument at a music shop as part payment for a new instrument. The salesman would not hear of this, but allowed him to take the new instrument away for the night on condition that he loft the old on e as security. Accused did not put in an appearance next day, and was arrested in Christchurch. He had previously been sentenced for dishonesty. The magistrate said that he would give accused another chance. He would be convicted and ordered to come up for sentence if called upon within 12 months.
