Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 18 December 1933
[Captain Eddie] Cruze came to Bill, and offered to help me. [George] Mather saw Cruze, who said he could confirm his previous story by some letters.[1]
Mather went with Cruze for his suit-case, and copied letters. They went to Frank Lewis’ flat. Frank saw them in taxi on way to Marylebone Sta. Mather came on to 40 C.T. and gave me copies—
1—Crowley received from George Mather, five letters stolen by Captain Eddie Cruze from Betty May to be used to discredit her testimony in Crowley's libel case against Nina Hamnett and her book Laughing Torso. Crowley was later arrested on 21 June 1934 and eventually tried and found guilty on 25 July 1934 for being in possession of stolen letters.
