Lovers Walk Home

From

Italy

Norwich, Jan. 4.

A story of a lovers' journey across Europe-from Italy to England-was told in a magistrate's court there today when dark, petite Ilde Nuccia Tenca from Milan was charged with illegal entry into Britain, and a British soldier. Stanley Edwards, with aiding her.

The magistrates decided to allow the Italian girl to live with Edwards' parents at Norwich for two months pending the decision of the immi- gration authorities, while Edwards was bound over to await military escort. The story was reveled in an alleged statement by Edwards, read in court by a detective, and told how Edwards when within three months of being demobilised was left behind by a British con- vey at Verona. He had received bad news about his wife in Eng- tand while his parents were ill with warry because they had just heard that his only brother had. died as a prisoner-of-war in Japanese hands.

The statement declared that Ed- wards made his way to Milan where he met Tenca. Later, Tenca
