TELEGRAPH THE HONGKONG
OF
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 in an indictment of 19 counts.
It was Mr. Justice Asquith's first day as a judge. Before"
him were:
་ ན
Andrew Vanderberg (37) and
Reginald Eddie Kaye (18), both troopers in the 12th Laneers, 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."
Vanderborg 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,
Hie pica 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.
