THEFT OF GOLD AT CROYDON
THREE MEN SENT FOR TRIAL
A HOSTILE WITNESS
The three men who have been arrested on the charge of being concerned in the theft of gold from the strong-room at Croydon Aero- drome on the night of March 5-6 were before the magistrates at Croydon Police Court, recently.
The defendants were Cecil Swanland, 47, artist, no Axed abode, but stated at the last hear- ing to have had rooms-ut 3, Pem- berton Road, Harringay; Silvio Mazzarda, 38, commission agent. of Vine Street, Clerkenwell Road, E.C.; and John O'Brien, 74, dealer, no fixed abode.
The men were each charged with being concerned with others in breaking and entering the bullion room at Croydon Aerodrome Le- tween March 6 and 6 and stealing three, boxes containing three bars of gold, 6,000 U.S.A. gold coins, and 5,800 Hovereigns, the whole valued at £21,000, the property of Machinery and Technical Trans- -port-Limited, South Street, F.C.
Mr. Graham Brooks appeared. for the prosecution; Swanland was represented by Mr. R. CM. Heller, solicitor, and Mazzarda and O'Brien by Mr. J. Davis, solicitor.
When the hearing was resumed Mr. Graham Brooks stated that it might have appeared from its opening statement last week that there was only one man on duty at the aerodrome. That was so, Ao far as the stair of Imperiul Airways was concerned, but the Air Ministry had patrols on duty at night, and there were two men appointed by the Air Ministry on duty that night.
HOSTILE WITNESS
The taxicab driver, Manson, who is stated by the proscention to have driven four men from King's Cross to Croydon on the night in question and three of them and certain boxes back to Harringay, was then recalled. At the last hearing Mr. Graham Brooks was given permission to treat Manson as a hostile witness.
Replying to Mr. Brooks, Manson said that after attending an ident!- Acation parade on March 12 he made and signed a statement, but he could not remember if it was rend over to him. He was allowed to read over the statement to' re- fresh his memory,
Asked if he had stated that a man whom he knew as Shonk was one who drove a small car ap to his cab at Croydon, Manson said: "I don't think it was so. I don't remember saying it." Further questioned about sentences in the statement, Manson said he could not remember what he did say or sign.
Manson said that when he was asked to pick out Shonk he was not in such a state that he did not know what he was doing. He denied having said that Shonk was one of the four mon he drove from King's Cross to Croydon. He was simply asked if he knew a man named Shonk, and anid he did.
Mr. Brooks. Is the position this:That you knew what you were doing in part of the "state- ment, but you did not know what you were doing when you made other parts?
Manson's reply was inaudible Mr. Brooks-On March 13 you attended another identification parade and you picked out the man O'Brien. After that parade was over, did you make another statement in writing, and is that your signature?
Manson examined the statement and said that the signature was his and the statement was read over to him before he signed it. Mr. Brooks then read the state- ment, starting at the point: "I immediately identified from among them a man who was one of the four I picked up in my cab at (Continued on Page 10).
