TEACHER ACCUSED OF STEALING BOY.

'SEAVACUEE'

CHARGED WITH "unlawfully taking away" an 11-year-old boy from his parent, a Surrey teacher appeared on remand at Clerkenwell.

The teacher, Montagu Wilfred Weaver Wicks (28), of Sander- stead, Surrey, was further manded on bail..

re-

Wicks had arranged for the boy's "scavacuation" to Canada, it was stated.

Cancelled

Wicks had coached the boys of Mr. Schwerdt, a Bishops Stort- ford stockbroker, during the Eas- ter holidays and afterwards told him that he was taking a party of boys to Canada, and that he was making the necessary arrange- ments with the authorities at Canada House. Mr. Schwerdt decided to let one of his sons, George Peter Patrick, aged 11,

go:

Eventually Wicks said he would be, taking five boys from Euston on July 25. A sum of £020 was paid into his bank account by Mr. Schwerdt to cover expenses

for two years.

Later inquiries resulted in Wicks's arrest at Crewe. It was found he had cancelled passages to Canada provisionally booked.

The defence was that he was intending to wait in Liverpool till "difficulties" which had arisen were cleared up.

Mr. Schwerdt, in evidence, said he did not know the "scavacua- tion" plan was his wife's.
