Impostor Convicted in Gas Scam at Newtown Court
Thomas Jones, an agent, was charged at Newtown Police Court with fraud by false pretences. On June 16 at Erskineville he obtained 2 shillings from Mrs. Gertrude Cooke by posing as an Australian Gas Light employee to “improve” her gas supply and fix a burner for which he charged 2 shillings. The burner proved overvalued, and Jones was later traced to Balmain where a warrant had been issued for Hopkins. He was fined £6 or six weeks imprisonment in default.
