| THE "ARMY'S" ROLL OF HONOR. A very interesting function took place at the Salvation Army hall, Sydney road, Granville, on Saturday afternoon, when Lieut.-Colonel McKenzie, "Fighting Mac," unveiled an honor roll in connection with the Granville corps of the Salvation Army. The hall was nicely filled with Army soldiers and friends, who very much appreciated the Colonels homely and spirited address, after which he lifted the flag in loving memory of the brave boys who "heard the call and obeyed," and so revealed a nice little honor roll, and the two names there on, Harold Coker and Stanley Gambrill; also the photos of these two lads, who were soldiers of the Granville corps when they enlisted. Hearty hand clapping and cheering greeted the sight, and together the congregation stood and sang the National Anthem. The people then adjourned to the grounds of the hall, and a garden fete was then declared open. The latter continued through- out the afternoon and evening, and was a very successful and happy affair. The Colonel remained throughout the Sunday with the Granville corps, conducting some very helpful and interesting meetings. The Army band contributed lively music. Lieut.-Colonel McKenzie also addressed the Brotherhood in the afternoon. |

| SCHOOL ROMEOS. Sweets Over The Fence. GIRLS EXCITED. SYDNEY, Tuesday. Romeo and Juliet still live at any rate at Parramatta. A story of how several youths climbed a tree overlooking the grounds of the Parramatta Industrial School for girls, and talked to fair inmates was told at the local court. William Herbert Cooper 19, Stanley Gambrill 19, and Thomas Nolan 18,pleaded guilty to the unromantic charge of offensive behaviour. The superintendent of the school told how she went into the grounds one morning and saw the boys in the branches of a tree. A number of girls were in the grounds at the time, and all were very excited. There was great difficulty that day in maintaining order in the class-room. The stories of other witnesses were to the effect that letters, sweets and similar tokens were constantly passed over from the tree to the girls. Each defendant was ordered to enter into a recognizance to be of good behavior for 12 months. |

| CLIMBED A TREE - At the Parramatta Court on Monday three young men, William Herbert Cooper (20), Stanley Gambrill (21) and Thomas Nolan (19) were charged with behaving in an offensive manner, the nature of their offence being that they climbed a tree overlooking the Industrial Home at Parramatta and that they held converse with the girls. Constable McCarthy told the Court that, early on the morning of March 23, he saw the three defendants near the Home. The youths were running in the direction of Northmead, and, as he suspected that they had no legitimate business in that centre, he intercepted their flight. These are nice carryings-on at the Girls' School,' began the officer. 'I am going to take you along to the station.' 'You can go your hardest.' rejoined Nolan, who constituted himself the spokesman of the party; 'you have no thing on us. We were only up a tree, having a talk to the girls.' Dorothy Bond, an officer of the School, said she was on duty on the morning of March 23. She noticed some Very Excited. There were between sixty and seventy girls in the grounds of the school at the time, and they all appeared to be very much excited. Several of the girls were talking to the men in the tree. She called them away, and tried to restore order, but it was very difficult, as the whole school was upset. Quite a lot of articles, principally cigarettes and sweets, found their way into the establishment, said Mrs. Bond, but she was unable to say whence they came. ?-David Tunks, employed at the school, said he had previously warned Gambrill to keep away unless he wanted to get into trouble. Sergeant Williamson said that it was quite difficult enough to contral the girls without having to watch these young fellows and men of their type, who were always trying to lure the inmates away. Three or four girls got away every week As the three youths had already been fined £3 each for trespassing upon the grounds of the Asylum, Mr. Perry, S.M., said that he would only bind them over to be of good behaviour for twelve months. |

It seems he first entered jail (metropolitan?) on the 30 Nov, 1928. Next I think it says 'pentridge'? 12 Dec 1929, then 'to freedom'?? 29/3/1930, then 'pentridge'? 17/12/1937 and then 'to freedom'? 30/5/1938. He got in trouble whilst inside, once for having a magazine and for disobeying orders. |

HOLIDAY JAUNTER JOLTED BY LAW JOYCE'S JOY RIDE IN STOLEN CAR 'DROVE HIMSELF' TO SYDNEY With guns barking and bullets whining over his head. William Joyce, Interstate crook, was sensationally brought to a standstill in Darlinghurst, Sydney, one recent morning and delectives where able to grab a car thief urgently wanted in Brisbane. The motor pirate had taken a vehicle from the drive-yourself fleet owned by Frank William Fowler, of Milton, Brisbane, and under the pretext of taking his wife for a Sunday afternoon drive to Wynnum had Journeyed swiftly to Sydney. When a pair of southern sleuths discovered Joyce and the car in a Darlinghurst garage they called on him to surrender. He didn't, and the chase that followed was punctuated with gun-play. Eventually Joyce was arrested and brought back to Brisbane, where he pleaded guilty before Mr. Hishon. P.M., in the city court on Wednesday and took the knock for three months. The car was valued at £175, found himself in the police court dock and realized that his little game was up. He admitted his guilt. He has three months to think over that Joy ride. The facts as revealed to the court by Detective Senior Sargeant F. B. Kearney who prosecuted, disclose that on August 10, Joyce called on Frank Fowler, who runs a drive-yourself service, and engaged a car for the following Sunday morning. He produced a driver's license, and Fowler thought that everything was in order. Joyce took over tho vehicle on the crisp sabbath morn, remarking to the employee who delivered it that he intended to take his wife for a run to Wynnum and other Brisbane seaside resorts. He flourished a pocket book that looked nice and healthy and paid across 22/-, which sum, incidentally, was destined to' provide him with a good many miles of travel. Then he hopped in, and with his wife seated beside him, started off for the high roads.
Joyce did not turn along the exit Wynnum-road but sent the vehicle roaring for Sydney. Near Narrabri, he now maintains he ran into a barbed-wire fence and scratched the side of the car, and that is the reason, he said, why the car was a different color when recovered; but he did not seem anxious to express any opinion why the number plate had become so mysteriously altered. When the vehicle was not returned to the garage at Milton on the Sunday night Fowler became anxious, and next morning told detectives Clark and Clarvey, of the C.I.B., about his fears. The Brisbane demons decided that, as Joyce was a well-known Sydney crook, it was likely that he had flown to that part of the world. On September 4 two Sydney detectives located Joyce and discovered that he was haunting a certain garage in Darlinghurst. They maintained a look-out over the place and found that the suspect was using Fowler's car, now altered in color and bearing a different number plate. Deciding that there was no doubt of his identity and his crime, the Sydney slueths called on Joyce to surrender as he emerged from the garage that morning. The car pirate just gave them one look and bolted. Calling on him to halt, the detectives, were forced to fire several shots into tho air before he came to a standstill. The owner of this car has been put to considerable worry and expense, declared the senior-sergeant, in closing his explanation of Joyce's misdemeanor. It was revealed that the said William Joyce, alias Stanley Gambrill, alias William Henry Healy, alias William Healy is a man with a long criminal record. He has convictions for stealing, disorderly behavior, living on tho licensed collector and robbery in company. |
