THEFT OF A DIAMOND RING.

MAGISTRATE AND MISTAKEN IDENTITY DEFENCE,

Sentence of two months' impri sonment in the second division was passed by Mr. Mead at Marl- Borough-street Police Court on Stella Hunting, 31, whom he found guilty of stealing a diamond ring, valued at £100, the property of 4.A American Harry Jackson, traveller.

Jackson's evidence was that he met the girl by accident at the Strand Palace Hotel, that they went together to a cinema, and that during the performance he lent her- his ring to wear. Afterwards, while he was buying some sandwiches for her in a Tottenham Court-road shop, the girl decamped with the ring.

Letter Identified,

Mrs. Heaver identified a letter to her husband in which Nelson said:

If there is a God I hope He will forgive you the mental torture I have suffered.

Oh! what does it mean? If it means that you have lost my money. I cannot face life.

The letter came after her husband had left, and she called on Nelson.

Mr. Carr (the coroner): Did he tell you he had invested money in business with your husband 1- Yes. and I told him my husband had left home, and Mr. Nelson was very much upset. He said he would assige his policy to his brother and blow his brains out. I told him not to be silly. I had frequently heard him make such a threat when my husband and I shared a house with Mr. and Mrs. Nelson. Mrs. Heaver added:-

"He said that my husband owed something like £4,000, and I asked what he meant by that when he bad formerly said in his letter that it was £40."

Evidence was called by Mr. Laur ence Vine to show that Hunting and her employer, Henry Evans, antique dealer, attended the per- formance at the Empire Theatre and afterwards bad supper together at a café in Oxford-street.

Mr. Vine, addressing the magis trate on the evidence of identifica- tion suggested that the girl had a double-a person who was so much like her that she might well be mie- taken for Hunting.

Prot. Thompson's Report The research into population pro. blems and their effect on economic and social conditions has been con- ducted by Prof. Warren S. Thomp- son, director of the Foundation, assisted by Prof. P. K. Whelpton.

He represented that if people invested money in a business they would get a certain retura in interest.

Mr. Carr There was no actual business; it was entirely fictitious -Yes.

Nelson had invested money with him, continued Mr. Heaver. He increased his liabilities to pay the profits in this supposed business. " At the time of Nelson's death the principal invested in the business in his name was £585, but Nelson had several hundreds back in supposed

profits-£400 to £500.-

Professor Thompson estimated that, after reaching 175,000,000 in 1973, the population of the United States would grow but little, reach- ing a possible maximum of about 180,000,000 by the year 2,000. The reduced birth rate," he figured, would cause the proportion of per- suns under 20 years of age to drop from 45.5 per cent, the present rate,

"Some seemingly optimistic ecozomig writers and business men have estimated that our population would be about 240,000,000 in 2,000, and have painted rosy picturee of future business expansion because of this.

Day of the Tragedy. "Mr. Heaver then described the day of the tragedy.

About 12.30 Mr. Nelson came to my house at Anerley on his bicycle. "Nelson said, Do you know why I came over bere this morning!' I replied that I did not."

.. .

Mr. Carr: Did Nelson say, Well, if I found you here I was going to shoot you!" Yes, Sir.

Was there anything to indicate that he meant it -Well, he brought out a revolver from his jacket pocket and levelled it at me for about five

minutes.

Did not that alarm you?-I was within an inch of death. If the man wished to carry out his inten- tion, he had the means of doing

it.

Did you then say, to him, "Put that thing away, for if you do, how Can I repay you or any one else i I did. I felt that the only way to deal with him was as I had done before by talking pretty sharp, and spoke with the old Almy tergeant major style.

Mr. Heaver said that Nelson stayed some few minutes longer. He. left without any apparent animo. sity,

He returned in half an hour and said, "I thought I would come back and have a quiet talk."

"I invited him in," continued

Mr. Carr: Did you take any part in the shooting of Nelson-Nonc whatever.

Dr. H. H. Phillips, police surgeon, said that there was no evidence to indicate that the wounds were any thing but, self-inflicted.

Mr. Carr, in his summing-up, sald he thought there was no evidence that Mr. Heaver killed Nelson. "I do not think Heaver could possibly have gained by killing Nelson, be- cause whatever liability there was to Nelson it would have passed to his executors. You have to look for! the motive in homicide. There is none."

He thought the evidence clearly indicated suicide. Nelson's mind, be thought, had been impaired by thell-shock.
