He was charged with converting to his own use:
£1,100 ontrusted to him by Misa Dorothy Lucy Bevan," of Park House, Murden, Kent, to whom he was said to have represented that he had the opportunity of pur- chasing for £4,000 certain of his father's manuscripts for which he had a buyer at £5,000;
A cheque for £300 entrusted to him by Mr. Morris Armitage, of Wilton Mews, S.W., for the pur-
chase of a motor-car; and
£200 entrusted to him by Mrs. Green, of Brunswick-read, Hove, to invest on her behalf.
Mr. H. Morgan, prosecuting at the last hearing, said that in Au Rust 1926 Conrad was adjudicated bankrupt with unsecured liabilities of £6,727, of which 20,600 was owing-to persons who had financed his so-called deals.
"The Black Mnte,"
Mr. Thomas Jamea Wise, of Heath-drive, Hampstead, N.W said he was intimately acquainted with the late Joseph Conrad and his family. Some years ago Mr. Conrad gave his son the manus- cript of "The Black Mate," and later he purchased it from the non for £150. He had obtained several
others of the author's manuscripts from another source.
Mr. Halkett (the magistrate): You bought them just as you Would buy an old chair of table? ----Yes.
There was no question of the copyright When I bought some of them they had not been put Hahed, but Mr. Conrad trusted me not to let them be copied or pub- Hished.
Mr. Wise said he had never made an arrangement with Alfred Conrad to resell the manuscript of "The Black Mate" to him for £4,000 or any sum. He bought that manuscript from Alfred with some of his father's Books and letters, and it was arranged that Alfred could buy back the books and letters if he wished. "I do not suggest that Alfred Conrad has told a lie to anybody in regard to this matter," he said.
Mr. John M. Armitage, proprie tor of a meter company at Cheam, said he financed Conrad in regard to deals in motor-cars on two or three occasions and the money advanced was repaid with a profit. In March 1926 Conrad asked for 1300 to enable him to buy a car from a Mr. Wareham and gave him a post-dated cheque for £340 which was returned by the bank. Conrad afterwards admitted that he had no money to meet the che que and owed Mr. Warnham "quite a bit."
Conrad was remanded on bail.
