NOTE.--Offender is a native of New Zealand. The most serious of
his offences (No. 3) was committed on a girl 81/2 years of age. After
serving six years of his term of life imprisonment the prisoner showed
signs of being mentally unsound, and in March, 1910, he was transferred
to a mental hospital. He remained a patient in a mental hospital until
March, 1915, when he escaped. It was afterwards ascertained that he was
aware of the fact that he was about to be returned to prison as being no
longer an insane person--hence his escape. After his escape he married,
and subsequently served two years with the Expeditionary Force. He was
returned to New Zealand as medically unfit and was arrested at Auckland
and returned to prison in August, 1917. Two members of his family--a
sister and a brother--have been convicted of theft and "conducting a
house of ill fame."

This man was released on probation, on the certificate of an expert in
mental diseases, after serving the full life term of twenty years, but
soon after release gave clear indications of return to former criminal
perversions, and his rearrest was ordered.

CASE NO. 3.
