Other evidence was given that when the Colt automatic platol was found by a police inspector Colonel Seymour said, "Yes, that is what I presented at them, buk it is not loaded."
Colonel Seymour, in the witness- box, said he heard a scuffle and a ey. He unhooked an old sword from the wall and went to the door of the outer office, where he saw a party of men coming along. q stopped back into the office and took from a drawer a Colt auto- matic pistol which belonged to ha assistant secretary, who held a licence for it.
It was not loaded, but as the party entered he pointed it at Eyre and said he would shoot the first man who came within a yard of him. He sat at a desk with, the pistol beside him and kept ho men quiet by conversation, until the police sergeant arrived.
Colonel Seymour declared that admittance was gained by forec and stratagem.
