The matter was reported to the Cardiff polies, who decided at once that Cardiff was no place for Sobottka. He was accordingly in- vited to return to London, and, there being no option, he accepted the invitation.
Sobottka, on his arrival In Lon- don, put up at a leading hotel, where he was visited by two Scot land Yard officers. The outcome of the Interview was that Sobottka was invited to take a train for Dover.
He made the Journey, and was then escorted to the Ostend boat by detectives, who watched the de- parture of the vessel.
