AFTER MANY DAYS.

    The man Rosier, who was dealt with at the Parramatta Police Court earlier in the week for sending an indecent card through the post, was on Wednesday sentenced at the Balmain Court to two months’ imprisonment for assault. He was committed for trial also on a charge of sending indecent letters through the post.

PARRAMATTA POLICE COURT.

Monday, March 13.
(Before Mr S Murphy, SM.)

ALLEGED ASSAULT.

    Denis Rosier was charged on warrant with unlawfully assaulting William Samuel Thurston. The police applied for a remand.

    Constable DH Bolton, stationed at Parramatta, deposed that on Saturday night, about 7.30 o’clock, he saw the accused in Church-street, Parramatta. Arrested him by virtue of the warrant (produced), in which he was charged with assaulting William Samuel Thurston. Read the warrant to him that morning at the lock-up. He said, “How many more —– charges are coming against me?” Asked for a remand to Balmain, where the witnesses resided.

    The SM: Denis Rosier, you are remanded to Balmain Police Court, to be dealt with.

    The defendant: Right! They won’t hang me for that, I suppose.

    The SM: Is it common assault?

    The Sergeant: Yes; but we’ve been over two years trying to get him.

    The SM (to defendant): Do you ask for bail?

    The defendant: Yes, please.

    The SM: Bail allowed, £10, and one surety in £10.

NO JURISDICTION.

    Denis Rosier was charged with damaging two panes of glass, the property of Thos Pate, at Dundas, on January 16th, 1903.

    The SM: I can’t see how I can deal with the case after the lapse of that time. Can you give me any case to show that after the lapse of six months, I have jurisdiction?

    The Sergeant: No, your Worship.

    The SM: I’ll have to mark it ‘no jurisdiction.’

    The Sergeant: It’s as criminal offence.

    The SM: Yes; but it’s a matter of summary jurisdiction.

ANOTHER CHARGE.

    The defendant was charged under the Indecent Publication Act with posting for transmission by post an indecent picture on or about 14th December last. He pleaded not guilty.

    David H Boulton, Constable, deposed that he charged the defendant. The defendant said, with reference to an envelope, “Is that your writing?” He said, “I cannot say.” He said, with reference to a second envelope, that the writing was his.

    At this stage the post-mark was identified by the SM as that of Mullinimby. [sic]

    Thomas Pate, farmer, living at Dundas, deposed that he knew the accused. Knew the man’s writing. Had received letters from him. He was not in witness’s employ. He used to write indecent letters. He kept company with witness’s daughter; or “thought he did.” Knew the writing on the envelope produced. Received a letter (produced) at the Parramatta North Post Office. Gave the letter to the police shortly afterwards. Could not say when he gave the letter to the police. It was six months ago; he could not say if it was under or over. The post-mark bore the date of “December 16, 1903.” The writing on another envelope (produced) was the accused’s. got that last December. The letter was addressed to his daughter, “Miss A Pate.” His daughter Amy was married. His daughter Ann Jane was single, and was in Parramatta, in the Hospital. Had a daughter at home—Bertha. Knew whom the letter was from. Opened the letter. It was from Rosier. It contained a filthy picture. There was no writing. Took it home and planted it. Showed it to his son-in-law at Balmain. Showed it to the Sergeant on Sunday. Got several letters from the accused; they contained only obscenity.

    To the Bench: Did not get any letter about the same time that he received the obscene card through the post.

    Rosier: That picture card’s not belonging to me. It’s not my handwriting.

    The witness said, in reply to Rosier, that the latter had never given him 10s for a sweep (Tattersall’s).

    Rosier: Who sent me £4 when I was at Richie’s, Auburn?

    The witness: I did not. I never sent him four pence, let alone £4.

    Rosier: No, but your daughter did.

    At this stage the police obtained an adjournment to get some evidence as to the character of the handwriting on different exhibits.

    Cyril F Blaxland, ledger-keeper in the Commercial Bank (Parramatta) deposed that the handwriting on the two envelopes were in the same handwriting. There was hardly enough, though —–. He had been six years in the bank, was satisfied that the writing in a certain letter produced and on the two envelopes was by the same hand.

    The accused: I don’t care what you say. I didn’t send the card. I wrote the letter—I admit I wrote the letter.

    Sergeant Nies deposed that on Sunday night, at Parramatta lock-up, he showed accused the letter (in the envelope, exhibit B). Said, “Did you write that letter?” He replied, “Yes.” Said “Where were you when you wrote it?” He said, “Let me have a look at it.” He read a portion of it, and then he said, “Orange.” He said also, “I wrote nothing very bad in that. They wrote letters to me which annoyed me, and I wrote letters back to them.”

    The SM said that it was a disgusting offence to send things of this sort to any woman, or anyone. This kind of thing must be stopped.

    The Sergeant: He’s sent letters to me, telling me I’m an old woman, and all sorts of things.

    The accused was convicted, and sentenced to three months’ imprisonment in Sydney Gaol.

CRIMES COMMITTED BY A “DOUBLE.”
———

    If Dennis Rozier is not in gaol it is not for the want of trying on the part of the police to get him there. Four times this year has he been arrested on various charges, and four times has he proved alibis.

    His troubles began on August 10, when he was arrested on a charge of obtaining by menace, at the point of a revolver, the sum of £2 from a resident of Carlingford. He proved that he was in Lithgow at the time of the offence, and was released. Then he went to Orange, and was arrested on suspicion of having committed a robbery. Again he proved an alibi. Next he went to Wellington, and here again the hand of the law fell on him, and he was charged with housebreaking. At the lower court he reserved his defence, and at the Quarter Sessions came out with flying colours, for he called the warders who had him in charge to prove that he was in custody at Orange when the crime he was charged with was committed. He left the country, and went to work at Ritchie Bros’ works at Auburn. All was going well until November 25, when he was arrested on a charge of misconduct alleged to have been committed at Balmain on November 7.

    His description answered that given of the man wanted for the crime, and he was identified by two persons as the man complained of. This case looked black against him, but again there was the alibi, for he proved beyond all doubt that he was working a Ritchie Bros’ at the time the offence was committed. After all these set-backs it is probable that the police will want to see Rozier commit a crime before they arrest him for it.

Denis Henry Roser, 1911

AN UNDESIRABLE CITIZEN.

    There was an informal off day sitting of the Footscray Court on Monday when a young man who gave the name of John Ross on being arrested, but whose name was subsequently discovered to be Denis Henry Roser, was charged with having wilfully exposed himself to three children in Whitehall-street, Footscray on January 30th last.

    The police stated that for some time past complaints had been made by men, women and children of the misconduct of a man, whose description was identical with that of the prisoner, in the gardens and streets of Footscray and he was arrested on those descriptions. When arrested he gave the name of John Ross, but it had since been ascertained that his real name was Denis Henry Roser and that he was a blacksmith’s striker employed at McKay’s Harvester Works from November, 1910, until the strike when he went out with the unions. He lived at Smith’s boarding house at Sunshine. Since his arrest the prisoner has been fully identified.

    The prisoner, against whom there are five charges, was remanded until Monday and was removed to the cells, bail not having been applied for.

FLOGGING ORDERED.
———◦———

    Denis Henry Roser, about 28 years of age, who described himself as a blacksmith, then on strike, appeared at the Footscray Police Court on Monday, before Messrs W and D Mitchell, J Cuming, J McPhee, and Councillor Gallant, JP’s. he was charged with having acted indecently on January 30, at Whitehall-street, Footscray. Roser pleaded not guilty.

    Inspector Canty said that at 20 minutes past 11 o’clock on the morning of January 30 several little girls were playing in Whitehall-street, when Roser, who was on the opposite side of the street, committed the offence. The children became frightened, and told their mothers. By the time they came out Roser had gone away.

    A little girl of 11 years of age gave corroborative evidence.

    A married woman residing in Whitehall-street stated that three children were playing in front of her place on January 30. Witness saw a man pass. That man was Roser.

    Roser: I can get proof that I went from Melbourne to Mordialloc on that day.

    Sergeant Jones stated that Roser had been given every opportunity to produce witnesses, and one person was written to who was in the train with Roser on that day. That was at 9 o’clock, and the offence took place at about half past 11 o’clock. This person would not come and give evidence.

    Charles Thompson, timekeeper at HV McKay’s works at Sunshine, stated that Roser had been working at McKay’s as a blacksmith’s striker. He was not working on January 30, the day of the offence.

    Roser (to the Bench): I could call witnesses, only I do not know their names. There were two men with me on that day who have since gone to Western Australia.

    A second charge was also preferred against Roser, and again evidence of identification was given by several witnesses. The police withdrew other charges.

    The Bench sentenced Roser to 12 months’ imprisonment on each of the two charges proceeded with, or two years in all, with hard labour, and ordered a flogging of 15 lashes during the first three months of the term of imprisonment.

TWO YEARS’ GAOL AND A
FLOGGING.

    For a considerable time past the Footscray police have been inundated with complaints from people who described an individual whom they declared was in the habit of misconducting himself in the presence of their women and children, and a keen watch was set by Sergeant Jones for his apprehension. Every man on the various beats of the city was on the look-out day and night for the offender, and on one or two occasions chase was given to men who answered the description, but they sped over fences and away into darkness without leaving a trail or a shred of evidence behind them as to their identity or as to their lair. Some days ago Mounted Constable Dwyer, who was sauntering about the town, saw a sun-burnt sallow tired-looking man, dressed in a faded blue serge suit, walking along the street, who answered all the descriptions that had been lodged at the police station, and he followed and accosted him. In the course of conversation the man said his name was “Jack Rose,” but subsequently it was discovered that his true name was Denis Henry Roser. Seven charges of indecent exposure were preferred against him on seven separate and distinct occasions, and he was brought before the Footscray court on Monday, when Inspector Canty prosecuted. No one defended the accused, who denied the charges. Evidence was given by a number of women and children, the latter of tender age, who declared that they witnessed the offences and fully identified the prisoner. The evidence was overwhelming, and the prisoner, who at first said he would not cross-examine the witnesses because they were too young, afterwards declared that they were “out up” and tutored by the women to say it was he who did it. He declared that he went to Melbourne by the 9 train on the date of the first offence—which was admitted by the police—and afterwards to Mordialloc whence he did not return until night. The first offence was alleged to have been committed at 11.30 am. Then he complained that he was presented singly to the witnesses at the police station to be identified and that he had been unable to secure witnesses, because, although he knew them, he did not know their names. These complaints were denied by Sergeant Jones and other members of the local police force. The prisoner was employed at McKay’s Harvester Works, but was on strike with the union during the past eight weeks. After hearing the evidence the Bench sentenced the prisoner to two years’ imprisonment on the first two charges, along with fifteen lashes. The other charges were withdrawn.

AGAINST AMALGAMATION.

    A meeting was held at the Shire Hall last night to discuss the proposed amalgamation between Maclean Municipality and Harwood Shire. About 40 persons were present, the Mayor (Ald AP Gale) presiding. Crown RJ McDonald was the only speaker in favor of the proposal, while those who opposed it were Crs DL Archer and R Johnston, Ald Cameron, Messrs D Daniels, JT Conlon and GW Austen. Crown EMBEZZLED Munro, perhaps the most ardent advocate of amalgamation, and who was expected to state a strong case in its favor, was not present. A number of questions were asked and answered, after which a unanimous vote against amalgamation was carried. The matter is to be voted on by the Maclean ratepayers at next Saturday’s municipal election.

THE WATER SCHEME.

    A special meeting of the Maclean Council was held last night to discuss Mr J Walsh’s proposal to obtain a water supply for the Lower and Middle Clarence from the Bookram Lakes. Ald Gale (Mayor), Bate, Cameron, Heffernan, and Hayward were present. After the matter had been informally discussed, it was decided to await further information before taking any definite action.

FAREWELL FUNCTION.

    The Maclean Literary Institute was crowded last night, when Father Carey (who has been in charge of the Maclean RC Parish since the death of Archpriest Walsh, and who has now been transferred to Murwillumbah) was tendered a farewell by his parishioners and the general public of Maclean. The function took the form of a musical evening, a lengthy and excellent programme being submitted. A presentation of a well-filled wallet of notes was made to Father Carey, this duty being performed by Mr RJ Brown, of Goodwood Island. Mr T Duffy, Warden of the AHC Guild, presided. Addresses of a very eulogistic nature were delivered by Messrs Brown (on behalf of Iluka, Chatsworth and Palmer’s Island), T McMahon (Shark Creek), JB Meigher (Harwood), BB de Looze, J Patterson (headmaster, Maclean Public School), AP Gale (Mayor), JB Walsh (secretary of the church), DJ Moloney (ex-Warden of the Guild), JT Conlon, J Comerford, and Rev Father Cusack. Father Carey made a suitable response, expressing his regret at leaving Maclean and his many friends here.
