The letter concerns the death sen- tence passed on Browns and Kennedy at the Old Bailey recent ly..

Mr. Justica Avory's armed guard was with him when he sat as a member of the Court of Criminal Appeal at the Law Courts:

Two men snt in the body of the court, and it is believed that two more were in the public gallory.

Later in the day, when the court was sitting as a King's Bench Divisional Court and there was no one present who could not easily be identified, the guard left the body of the court, but' was still maintained in the gallery.

It is not unusual for a judge to receive a threatening letler after being concerned in a murder trial, but as a rule little notice is taken.

In this case the authorities aí-. tach some importance to the na- Lure of the threat.

Mrs. Kennedy, the wife of the convicted man, said: "I have written, to Mr. Justice Avóry as suring him that I did not write the threatening letter, and that I had no knowledge that such a letter had

been written.

"I have also made it clear to him that, although I am still firmly convinced that my husband had nothing whatever to do with the

actual shooting of Police-constable

"I was tremendously impressed with the judge's scrupulous fair- ness throughout the trial, and indeed the fairness of all those connected with It."

A representative of The Daily Chronicle, however, found chemist willing to set out some of the chemical achievements which have made the "Dapper" possible. Here they are:-

-Artificial alik

Synthetic leather shoes Dyes for all materials. Colour for lipsticks. Face powders.

Depilatory preparations. Artificial teeth.

The chemical industry has ac- cepted the friendly challenge of Lord Balfour to "tell the world" of its accomplishments.

"British chemical industry now leads the world," declared Mr. W. J. U. Woolcock, director of the Mend Staffordshire Refining Co. "As one example, out of the total amount of dyestuffs used in Great Britain, about 85 per cent, is now made in this country."

Mr. Francis H. Carr, the presi- dent of the Society of Chemical Industry, detailed some of the buc- cesses of the chemist:-

Cure for pernicious anaemila, Production of insulin." Manufacture of Vitamin D in a form 200,000 times more powerful than cod liver oil.- "These," he said, "are but three of the very many recent selentine discoveries which the industrial chemist has utilised to bring relief within the reach of all classes of Bufferers.

"They indicate the relentless na- ture of the war that chemical science is waging on disease for the benefit of humanity, and they serve to show one aspect of modern prac tice in industrial chemistry where.

Immediately after the ceremony they set out on a caravan tour of Britain.
