Detective Constable Sallsbury in- terviewed, Raymond at his bome about thefts from electric slotmeters, and Raymond's brother, Ronald Pope, declared that the detective's manner was harsh and dominating. He fired questions at Raymond and definitely accused him of the thefts.

Detective Salisbury, replying to the mother, Mrs. Sarah Pope, said he strongly suspected the boy of the thefts.

There were marks on the hall seat of one of the houses which had been entered, and these were con- sistent with the studded soles on the boy's shoes.
