KIDNAPPING CHARGE
The Nuffield Case
London, July 20.
At the resumption of the case in which John Bruce Thornton is charged with conspiring to kidnap Lord Nuffield, the witness Major Ramsden admitted, in regard to conversations with Thornton regarding the proposed kidnapping, that it was his word against Thornton’s.
Ramsden denied a suggestion by counsel for the defence that every word of 'the conversation with Thornton regarding the kidnapping of Lord Nuffield was false. He also denied that Thornton said he was writing a cinema story and asked his help to work out the plot. Counsel said he was asking these questions: “Because that is the story Thornton will tell in the witness-box.”
