POLICE TELL L FIGHT WITH
Four Notebooks
Bullets Pierced By Shown To Jury
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,
OF SHO
SHOTS
THREE police officers recently told dramatic stories of
a running fight in which they received serious wounds, when two soldiers appeared at the Old Bailey before Mr. Justice Asquith charged with shooting at the police officers with intent to murder and with other offences set out în an indictment of 19 counts.
It was Mr. Justico Asquith's first day as a judge. Before him were:
Andrew Vanderberg (87) and
Reginald Eddle Kaye (16), both troopers in the 12th Lancers, who wore military uniform.
Also in the dock was Frederick George Clark (21), vanboy, charged with them with having two revolvers with intent to endanger life. His part in the matter was described by the pro- secution as "a very small one."
Vanderberg withdrew his plea of not guilty-after the lunch adjournment and pleaded guilty to all counts except four relating to shooting at Sergeants Rackham and Hemley with intent to murder and possessing revolvers with intent to endanger life.
His plea was accepted and he was taken below while the trial
of the other two proceeded.
Kaye pleaded not guilty to the shooting charges but guilty to the others. Clark pleaded not guilty.
