There were. further charges against Hayter relating two a leged offences in respect of the girl at Yeovil

A message stating that the girl was missing from her home at Hill view-terrace, Salisbury, was broan cast on April 23.

Mr. H. T. Jones, prosenting for the Salisbury City Police, said that Hayter had lived partly with his father and partly with his grand- parents at Fairfield-road. He add ed:

been a bad boy in any sense of the

word.

In January of this year the boy struck up an acquaintanceship with the girl and visited her house. The parents of the girl apparently were quite willing that this friend ship should exist.

It is suggested that the boy was leading rather an unhappy life at home. We may take it that he sought refuge in the house of the girl.

"If You Go, I Go." Early in April bu suggested to the girl that he intended to leave Salisbury. He said he could not stand it any longer, and he was going to Yeovil to look for work.

The girl's evidence will be that when he said that she said, 'li you go, I go "

M. Jones said that the mother of the girl was first aware that there was something out of the ordinary when she saw her daughter leaving the house that morning as if she were going to business, but carrying her mackintosh and an overcoat wrapped up under her armı.

Attempts were made to trace the girl, and a message was broadcast by wireless.

The effect of that was to bring the matter to the notice of the wo man who kept the house in which these two young people were Yeovil. She immediately telegraph
