The prosecution alleged that Lowls made an attempt-indeed a success- ful attempt, sald Mr. Raphael-to- obtain £50 from Wooder or his rela- tives for stopping Simmons from · picking out Wooder at an identico- tion parade.

Mr. Raphael said that Wooder had then already been picked out, and Lewis made a further suggestion that he would cause witnesses to say that they had picked out the wrong man. There was no evidence available to show that any of the witnesses had actually been tampered with,
