ALEISTER CROWLEY TO APPEAL.

Notice of appeal against his Old Bailey conviction has been signed by Mr. Edward Alexander Crowley (Aleister Crowley, the author). He was found guilty of receiving four original letters and a copy of a letter alleged to have been stolen from Mrs. Betty Sedgwick, an artists' model, professionally known as "Betty May."

The letters were stated to have been produced by Mr. Crowley's counsel in the High Court during an action for damages for alleged libel of publishers respecting a passage in a book.

Mr. Crowley was bound over for two years and ordered to pay a sum not exceeding 50 guineas towards the cost of the prosecution.
