The case against Police-Constables John Clayton and Charles Stevens, of Y Division, Metropolitan Police, was resumed before Mr. R. E. Dummett, the Clerkenwell magistrate, on August 3rd. They were summoned for conspiring and agreeing to prefer a false charge against Miss Helene Adele, aged 21.4

A charge against Miss Adele of using dnsulting words and behaviour was dismissed at Clerkenwell on July 6th. P.-C.

When Mr. H. Ricketts, for the constables, continued his cross" examination of Miss Adele yesterday the court was crowded, mostly with women.

"After a long cross examination of Helene Adele which lasted hours the policemies concerned were put in the witness box. The case was adjourned. POLICE STATION STATE. MENT.

Mr. Ricketts cross-examining Helene Adele asked:

At the police station you were put in a room by yourself and asked to write out your statement -No. Police officers were there, but they did not see what I wrote until afterwards.

It was your own idea to put down Miranda-road?—I was told I could use that address.

Who told you Jack Desbois who lives there. Some time ago he said if I wanted to use this address I could, or if I wanted to send letters there I could.

Did you ever sleep there --No. Have you ever been there-I have been there several times because know all his people.

Have you been to the garage since you were discharged by this court? Yes, once, on Wednesday, August

That was the day before this case was to be heard. What time did you go there -About 11.30 at night. I met Jack Desbois.

You know he is a married man 1- Yes.

Is it true that his wife once pulled you out of a motor-coach to prevent you from going to see him f She did not pull me out. I saw her there and got out.

She tried to prevent you from going to see him 1-Yes.

Is Desbois a man you hate had immoral relations with -No.

Mr. Ricketts (very deliberately); I am going to ask these final ques- tions. Have you on more than a occasion told Hayes that if ever you got arrested by the polien you would say they had interfered with you? No. I have never said auch a thing.

I suggest that in pursuit of what you said you have concocted this story against these officers?-What you suggest is untrue. What I have said is the truth.

Mr. Percival Clarke, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, be gan his re-examination by question- ing Miss Adele-with regard to Mr. Hayes. She said that his payments towards her support had been made irregularly. He gave her money when she suggested ite

Did you say this to him: You know how I can talk; I spoofed the whole lot -No. I told him to, mind his own business

Did you say: "I expect they will be after me, and I am going to Southend to get out of it"?-No. Replying to Mr. Dummett, Miss Adele said she was not now on friendly terms with this man.

Sergeant Brougham said that he was on duty when the two officers brought Miss Adele to the station at 4 am Clayton said the charge was for insulting behaviour at Victorie-road and that Miss Adele refused her name and address.

"Clayton told him that he found the woman having an altercation with a man in Victoria-road, that she was shouting and using abusive | language, and that he saw the man run away. He said he asked Miss Adele to go away, but she continu- ed shouting and said, "You go to hell. I shan't go for you or any- body else like you."

Stevens told him that bearing an alteration he went to Victoria- road and found Clayton there talk- ing to..the woman. He corroborat. ed the statement that she told Clay- ton to go to hell,

The sergeant added that be thought that evidence justified arrest, and he entered the charge against Miss Adele. He rend it over to her and she replied, "I deny the insulting "words."

She was told she would have to explain it to the magistrate, and she said, "That is just what I want to do."
