EXPLORER IN DOCK.
REMAND GRANTED FOR DOCUMENTS.
Edward Alexander Crowley (58) who was described on the charge-sheet as an explorer, of Upper-Montagu-street, W., was charged at Marylebone Police Court to-day with feloniously receiving five letters, the property of Betty Sedgwick [Betty May]. A remand until next Thursday was granted, bail being allowed.
Mr. Ivan Snell was the magistrate.
Mr. Crowley was represented by Mr. Isidore Kerman.
Mr. Crowley wore a light grey suit and a flowing bow tie.
A number of fashionably-dressed women had seats in the court.
Mr. Edward F. Iwi prosecuted. He said that the position at the moment was that certain documents which were the subject matter of the charge, were at present in the custody of the Master of the Crown Office. Application would have to be made in the High Court for the documents to be produced.
ANOTHER MAN.
He would therefore call the Sergeant who carried out the arrest, and ask for a remand for a week.
Mr. Kerman said: “I would like to take this early opportunity of saying that Mr. Crowley has a complete answer to this charge, and I agree with the application for the remand for a week.”
The Magistrate: There is another gentleman rather connected with this case?
Detective-Sergeant: Yes. So far I have not been able to trace him, but I have hopes of doing so I the very near future.
Det. Sergt. Davidson then gave evidence of arresting Crowley on Thursday in Carlos-place, W.
Mr. Kerman: The arrangements for the execution of the warrant were made through my office, and there was no attempt to evade it.
Davidson: No.
The Magistrate said that from the information it seemed to be a very simple case, and should not last, so far as that court was concerned, for much more than half or three-quarters of an hour.
He ordered a remand until next Thursday. Mr. Iwi: In the meantime application will be made to the High Court for the letters.
Bail was allowed in the sum of £10. |
