HAPPY VALLEY SNATCHING
Man Committed For Trial
The prompt acilon and the com- mendable pluck with which Mr. Hopkins acted on the night of March 12, resulted in Chan Tung appearing before Mr. W. Schofield yesterday at the Central Magis tracy faced with the charge of rob- bery with violence.
two
The complainants were ladles, named Mrs. Payrie and Mrs. Penny. Detective Sergeant Fitches prosecuted.
It appears that on the night of March 12, the complainants were standing near the monument at Happy Valley after alighting from a tram, prior to going home. They stood talking underneath a lamp- post, Mrs. Penny llyed at No. 1, Leighton Hill Road and Mrs. Payne at No. 5 Morrison Gap Road,
While chatting there Mrs. Payne noticed a man coming round from the left of Mrs Penny, behind her back, and threw some white pow- der in her face, at the same time snatching at her handbag which she was carrying under her arm. Mrs. Penny held on to the bag with both hands and falling to take the bag the man snatched at a parcel of tomatoes which Mrs. Penny was carrying. The man was subsequently recognised and identi- fled, because when he came under the lamp-post Mrs. Payne had had a good look at his face.
ARRESTED AFTER CHASE The defendant then ran across a plece of waste ground nearby, The complainants called out and Mr. Hopkins, who was just about to alight from a bus at the opposite corner, quickly gave chase and fin- ally succeeded. In catching the defendant near some huts. Here they had a struggle and the defen- dant threw some more white pow- der over Mr. Hopkins and partly blinded him, Mrs. Payne then stepped into the breach and hit the defendant over the head with a brick, which had the effect of stopping him from struggling. Mrs. Perny then copled Mrs: Payne's example and stood guard over the man with another brick while Mrs. Payne went to the Civil Service Club for assistance.
Chief Inspector Marks and Sani- tary Inspector Strange happened to be at the Club and returned with Mrs, Payne. to find Mr. Hopkins still holding the defendant on the ground. Mr. Strange found a paper bag., nearby.
Inspector Marks searched the defendant for arms and finding none took them all to the Station after which they were all examin- ed by a doctor.
The clothes and powder were analysed by the Government Analyst later and the powder was found to be lime. The empty paper bag that was found also con- tained lime
The detencant later took Sergt. Fitches to a shop where he said he bad bought the lime for one cent. Here the shopkeeper could not Identify the defendant as he said that quite a lot of people had bought me and that he therefore could not remember one from the other.
The lime was found to be slaked lume, which was not very danger-
