For six days, 24-year-old Londoner Frederick Huggon son lay under the shadow of the law until Incontrovertible proof of his innocence was brought before a court.
Huggonson was released immediately, and everyone concerned drew a breath of relief that a miscarriage of justice had been avoided.
But London's "Daily Express" did not want to leave It there.
On the heels of the Huggonson case, it set out to prove the dangerous weakness of identity parades.
A reporter was sent into a chemist's shop. He spent 56 seconds at the counter buying dangerous weed-killer, an unusual purchase, gave the assistant every chance to take in his appearanco.
One hour later the assistant from the chemist's shop was asked to pick his customer from an identity line-up of Express stuffers.
After close scrutiny he picked on editorial nasistant Henry Eickhoff who is 49. He ignore! 30-year-old re- porter Ian Aftken who had bought the weed-killer.

The ten-ton k 'ch Sea Wanderer has rachad the West Indies on her romantic and exciting voyago round the world. Todo, comes a new report from her ano-man crew.
THERE is a "Sugar Loaf" on several of the islands in the West Indies, but the most striking is in the Saintes, where a high domed lump of land unexpectedly rises up sheer out of the water and is only connected with the main island by low sandy spit studded with coconut palms.
