Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Tuesday, 24 July 1934
At Old Bailey.[1]
1—This refers to Crowley's trial for being in possession of stolen property, namely five letters stolen by Captain Eddie Cruze from Betty May that were to be used to discredit Betty's testimony in Crowley's libel case against Nina Hamnett and her book Laughing Torso. Crowley was arrested on 22 June 1934 and eventually tried and found guilty on 25 July 1934 for being in possession of the stolen letters.
