German Alien Charged With Failing to Report to Order
Adolph Sickret, a German alien, faced Kalgoorlie Police Court on a charge under the aliens restriction order of 1915 for failing to report during September and for a period from November 1 to 25. He pleaded not guilty. Evidence showed he had only reported once since September and claimed no intent to report, insisting he earned an honest living and would face starvation otherwise. The case notes his history of reporting in 1914 and 1915, and the lack of ready books led to delays. The verdict and sentence are not included in the fragment.
