GIVING way to sudden temptation while waiting to be served with lollies to take home to his young
brothers and sisters, a young member of the A.1.-R on leave from Darley, last Sunday leaned
over the counter at the shop of Freda Daphne Fooks, Hammond Rd., Dandenong, and took three
£1 notes. As he was in the act of doing so a lad came into the shop and asked him what he was
doing with the money. "Here's £l-keep quiet about it," accused said, handing him one of the notes
.
'Mrs Fooks missed the money as soon as she went to the till, and reported tier loss to the police. Constable G. H. Stanesby and Detective Howard went to the soldier's home and Interviewed, him. He admitted the offence and produced two £1 notes in a match-box from behind a post.
When asked by the P,'M. if he would withdraw the charge, Detective Howard regretted that this could not be done, but said that he would like to see given every chance. He had expressed regret for what he had done, and there was nothing else against him.
