ACTS MISINTERPRETED
Police Given False Alarm The gathering of a posse of constables and some detectives at the intersection of Willis Street and Manners Street between 10.30 and 11 last night attracted the attention of passers-by. The police had been informed that a man had been, seen taking stock out of the window of a jeweller’s shop in the vicinity. There are two jewellere’ shops and a pawnbroker's within a few yards of the corner and, since the police 1 were not certain which shop was supposed to have been entered, their investigations took a considerable time. Finally they concluded that the innocent actions of a man legitimately working in his window had been mistaken by their informant.
