There seemed evidence when the husband: was away. -Cole slept on a sofa in the kit- chon. When the husband.came home on leave Cole slept at the house at Mr. Girl's request. About 12.40 am, on August 23,
said Mr. Evans, Cole staggered up against the door at Wimbledon Police Station.
'He said: "P've killed a woman ́at Hartfield-crescent.” He start-

When police went to the house they found the woman lying on her back on the floor; "A" carving knife was still in the wound.
Cole made a statement in which he said: "I picked up a knife from the table and stabbed her in the back. It ran through her like rumming through butter."
Mr. Evans said the prosecution were unable to suggest any mo- tive. There was evidence of quarrels, but there was nothing to suggest that they had had a 'quar- rel that night. There was no sign of any struggle.. There was no |sign of any struggle, Cole appear- ed to have stabbed the woman without warning.
SOVIET IS LENIENT
The Soviet authorities are re- ported to be adopting a more lenient attitude towards the Polish population of White Russia and the Western Ukraine. Many-im- prisoned Poles have been freed.
The pro-German Ukrainian, Hetman Skoropadski, is: now' in Cracow, in German-occupied 'Po-: land, and a Ukrainian legion is being formed with headquarters- in Cracow and detachnemts in three other towns.
It is suggested, by Poles in London that the friendlier atti- tude of Russia to the Poles is a result of German attempts to use Ukrainians for anti-Russian acti- vities.
