HATRY TRIAL
THE CHINA MAIL.
When His Iron Nerve Gave Way
HIS EARLY ROMANCE
R. E. Corder, whose facile pen is knows to all Britens, writing in the London Daily Mail on January 25 on the Hatry Trial said:—
Four men endured fifteen minutes of agony in the dock at the Old Balley yesterday.
That was the time taken by Mr. Justice Avory in passing sentence on Hatry, Daniels, Tabor, and Dixon, the four financiers who con- trolled the Hatry group of com- panies which crashed last Septem- ber with a total deficiency of more than $13,500,000.
To me it looked as if they were dazed by the sentence passed on Hatry. They were incapable of emotion, because emotion had been frozen by the fate of their master and leader.
Daniels, whose dimpled face was made for smiles; atared at the judge like MAA hypnotised. Tabor, tall, broad-shouldered, stood like a man turned into stone.

Dixon, the man of the ordered mind, a man more ready to receive orders than to give them, was hold impassive by the force of dia
to his cipline, but when it came turn to endure the searing words of the stern judge his throat work ed convulsively and his hands trembled as he plucked at his coat. A nod from the judge, a tap on the shoulder from a warder, and Dixon went slowly down the stairs, leaving the big dock empty.
Next came that always, pathetic plea of defending counsel for per- mission for the prisoners to see their relatives. Daniola wished to see his mother.
Those fifteen terrible minutes, when the sternest of judges, speak ing cutting phrases as cold as fall ing iclcles, was slashing through sentiment to sentence, were the most terrifying I have experienced in a court of justice. It was a fearsome lesson in the power and dignity of British justice. The frail elderly man in his scarlat

fifteen minutes.
Ruthless Punishment Hatry, the chief criminal, suffer ed more than his associates, not only in the severity of the maxi- mum sentence, but also in a repati tion of ruthless punishment. When he heard the sentence of 14 years' penal servitude Hatry, whose clever face had become grey, turned brisk. ly and made for the stairs leading from the dock.
"Stay," commanded the harsh voice of the judgo.
Hatry, his face impassive, his hands locked tightly behind his back, returned and faced the judge, whose cold blue eyes looked into the brown eyes of the prisoner as jhe added: "You will on the other indictments serve five years' penal servitude and two years with hard labour, the sentences to run con currently."
Again Hatry sought the seclusion of the stairs, and again he was brought back.
"I had forgotten the second in dictment," said Mr. Justice Avory "On that you will servo five years' penal servitude, the sentence to run concurrently.”
Like A Sleep-Walker Hatry now moved automatically like a sleep-walker. His iron nerve had given way under the terrible tension, and he groped his way down the friendly stairs that led to a kindly silence.
The sentence of 14 years was re- ceived by the crowded court, pack ed as I have never seen it packed, with a swift intaking of breath that sounded like the soft sighing of wind, but the repeated ordeal of Hatry was seen in a tenso silence jaave for the hysterical moun of
some overwrought woman.
Drama such as the stage has never seen was developing as the clock ticked seconds of suffering. Hatry had gone to a living grave, (but the accusing voice of the stern judge went on. The unsheathed sword seemed to be glittering over the dock where the men remained to her hard words that meant bitter years.

One by one each man learned his fate, one by one each man suffered the public exposure of his sins and the punishment thereof. And all took their punishment like men.
"Permission is granted at the dis- erotion of the prison authorities," declared the judge.
Three hours of thrills preceded those terrible fifteen minutes. The trial took a dramatic turn from the drat when the four prisoners with- drew their plea of "not guilty" and enabled the jury to return a ver- dict of guilty without leaving the box.
From that moment the trial, which for four days had been a monotonous recital of facts and figures, became a vivid and moving human drama.

Mr. Grain is a poor man, and he said:
"I have only seen Mrs. Hatry ones atace the wedding, when she came to Brighton just after her mother's death.
"Sho
was born in Camberwell [3.E.] Her maiden name Was Violet Ferguson, but we always called her Doily, after her mother. When she was about 11 her mother went on the stage, and I promised to look after Dolly.
"When she was about 15 her mother came to live in Brighton, and Dolly left me and lived with her. It was here that Batry met her. She was a beautiful girl, and there is no doubt that he was cap. tivated. They decided to get marri Led-soon after. I think she was only 16 when the ceremony took place.
"I next saw Hatry when Dolly's mother, who was my sister, died and was buried in Brighton. Scon after that Dolly came to see me in my shop here. Every Christmas I used to get a present from her.
"I am the only relative she has left, apart from her husband and children."
WHITE AUSTRALIA.
What Mr. Scullin Has
Done to Help
Mr. Scullin has been lashing him- self into a fury because a London periodical has referred to Australia, possibly tropical Australia, as a black man's country, says the Bris- bane Courier in a leading article.
What was obviously meant is that tropical Australia cannot be colonis- ed by white labour.
Mr. Cullin confesses himself as- tonished at the "grotesque mis- and he added representation"; (showing clearly that he knew what was intended), "Australia la a white man's country, and we are determined to keep it white, and to maintain the highest economic stan-
Mr. Norman Birkett, in an eloquent, speech lasting for an hour and twenty minutes, told of that fateful meeting in Hatry's house on June 23. At that meeting Cialdini, the Italian, now safe in his villa at Milan, threatened to blow out his brains sooner than face the crash that threatened the Hatry group of companies. The fourdards." prisoners were moved by Glaldini's That is very commendable, but it threat to plan the forgeries of the yet has to be proved.

nearly twenty years ago.
As Mr. Norman Birkett pleaded that mercy should be mingled with justice, and that his client should not be given such a punishment as would destroy hope the last earthly thing a man could have" Hatry's eyes filled with tears, which he furtively wiped away with his hand. Danfels also was deeply moved, and he wept in sym- pathy with his chief. 2
-
Mr. Norman Birkett repeated the poignant passage in Hatry's con fession: "My name has become a by word. When I leave prison, whenever that may be, my punish ment will begin all over again.”·
But contrition, sorrow, senti. ment, all the force of eloquence, all the pleas for mitigation were as if they had never been made, as the clock ticked for fifteen fearful minutes.
Hatry's Romance
A correspondent, of the same journal writing from Brighton said :—
•
How Mrs. Hatry met her husband and was married to him when she was only 10 was told to me to-night by her uncle, Mr. Joseph Griffin, of Eastern-road, Brighton.
It is like a fairy tale romance, this story of a girl who captivated Hatry by her youth and beauty and
How Australia Is Held Perhapa everybody in the Còm- monwealth who understands, any thing about the dangers of racial conflicts is in favour of retaining Australla for the white race. But
we are holding it by virtue of the British Navy. Mr. Scullin and his; Party are not doing anything to help its retention for the white race by breaking down our defence sys tem and by discouraging migration.
White Australia is a magnificent ideat; but if we wish to retain the whole continent for the white race: we will have to encourage migra- tion, and we will have to abandon the stupid idea that immense areas of tropical Australia, hundreds of from 4 market, miles away can be developed by Government proclamations, Arbitration Court awards, and unemployed deles.
