COURT ECHO OF SHOOTING "DRAMA.
There was an echo in the Cam bridge Police Court last month of the recent shooting tragedy in which a university tutor and a police officer were murdered by Douglas. Newton Potts, the undergradante, who committed suicide afterwards.
Lord Merrivale, in summing up, said it had been suggested that the wife was a worthless woman. Ic 1924 Dr. and Mrs. Read made the acquaintance of Taylor. When Dr. Read found letters in 1025 addressed to his wife from Taylór, he wrote pointing out that Taylor's associa- tion with a young and foolish girl was compromising her?"

Later the doctor took his wife to Italy and then to India. In, 1927 the wife come to London, and it was alleged that she and Taylor were committing misconduct.

He denied that he had said his father was the Car of Russia, who was murdered in the revolution, and on the question being put to him again, he said, "I did not say the Czar of Russia. I said the Grand Duke Michael"!
Manning's father, giving evidence. said the charges against his son had come ás a great shock to him.
"Mr. Mountifield," he said, "bas posed as being the heir of the Czar of Russia, and he has given ny bay the idea that he has unlimited means, and he has told him that be could have anything he liked a bis expense."
Manning was bound over for three years to be of good behaviour in the sum of 230, with his father ns surety in a similar sum, and the magistrate advised the father to put his son to work.
