FIVE LETTERS.

Mr. Crowley Charged with Receiving Them.

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].

Mr. Crowley was represented by Mr. Isidore Kerman.

Mr. Crowley wore a light grey suit and a flowing bow tie. He carried a curiously carved stick. A number of fashionably-dressed women were in court.

Mr. Edward F. Iwi prosecuted. He said that the position at the moment was this: 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.

He would therefore ask for a remand for a week.

Mr. Kerman, on behalf of Mr. Crowley, 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 Davidson: Yes. So far I have not been able to trace him, but I have hopes of doing so in the very near future.

The remand was granted, and bail was allowed in £10.
