*ALL THE CARDS SHOULD BE ON THE TABLE.” An American citizen, Edward Mello, aged $7, a tailor, of Clarges-street, Plecadilly, was charged Before Mr. Dummett, at Marlborough-street recently, with being a suspected person lailering In Piccadilly with the object of picking pockets.

Evidence was given by Detec- tive-Sergeant Scott, Detective- Sergeant Stenning, and Detective Fairbrother, of Scotland Yard, that Malle was seen to mount three omnibuses outside. tho Piccadilly Hotel before they came to a standstill, go up two or three steps, and then return and hustle male passengers and attempt to pick their pockets. When he was arrested he replied. "You have made a mistake. I was waiting for Monty Banks, the film star." When searched he had on him £12 168. 4d, including a £5 note and six 21 notes, and a cheque made out in his favour for £30.

Sergeant Scott, cross-examined, said that he had not heard of a man named Klein in connexion with the case.

ป

Mr. Edmund O'Connor (defend- ing)-Did you know Monty Banks was a friend of Mello?-No.

When you got him to the police- station did you leave him in. charge, of the station sergeunt, and say you would be back in five minutes7-Yes...

And you and your colleague left the station?-Yes.

You had not charged him then? «-2,,"!

. Did you come back half an hour or 35 minutes later?-No, not more than two minutes. We went to the omnibus stop to see if there were any more suspicious people hanging about who might have been connected with this man. is the usual course.

Officer's Notebook."

It

Mr. Dummett-Why was not a charge made at once?--The officer in charge was busy.

Mr. O'Connor-In fact, you did not know what to charge him with. I

He then referred to a cali Mello made at Scotland Yard the pre- vious Saturday night for his money, and Sergeant, Scott denied that Mello Bald, "The man who 'framed me up' is likely to frame you up' also."

Mr. O'Connor-Did ho say, "He owes me £500, and he sent me £200 some time ago when I was lying ill" He did not say anything to me about that.

Do you know that a man named Klein had been to Scotland Yard? I have heard nothing about it.

Detective-Sergeant Stenning said that Mello was left at the police- station for ten minutes, while he and Scott went back to Piccadilly. Mr. O'Connor-Did you discuss with Scott what you should charge him with ?-No.

Mr. Dummett asked Stenning about his notes of the case in his note-book, and said, “All the cards should be on the table. We want to know why he was left in the station for ten minutes."

Three or four minutes," said the detective.

Mr. O'Connor, after reading the note-book, pointed out that there was not one word, about leaving the man in the station and going out to look for confederates.

In answer to further questions, the officer said that Mello went to Scotland Yard the previous "Satur-" day night and said: "You know I am, not a thief." He knew no- thing about Klein, and it Waз absolutely foreign to him that Klein had "framed" this charge against Mello.

Mr. O'Connor asked for a re- mand, remarking that he case was a very important one.

Mello was remanded on bail.
