Woodville Clerk Link to Embezzlement Trial Shocks Court
In Woodville a criminal court comes to a sensational stage as George Hammond Walder pleads guilty to embezzling 299 pounds 195 shillings 8d from the Woodville District Council between July 1 1914 and March 5 1915. The case ties to Dr Henry Slade chairman of the council and letters from the former district clerk suggest a complex web of debt and alleged leniency. Public scrutiny grows as council records will be reviewed next Tuesday to shed light on the affair.

Concert Review: Illness Dims Publikum But Encore Pleases
The performance closed with high praise for ragtime solos and duets by Miss Ruby Jones and Mr. Perce Mitchell and The Kings Fifteen by Mr. Will Pirie, though Mr. W Nancarrow was unwell and left after his first song The Death of Nelson. Encores dominated the evening as Mr W Godfrey's orchestra also drew cheers. A penny shower followed Miss Jeffrey singing Please Give Me a Penny, and a Bugler sale raised £4 0s 0d for a five pound tin of tea and three flags.
