DEAD YET ALIVfc

A man on whom, it was.thought, an inquest had been held a month before, (gave evidence on oath in the Tonbridge Coroner's Court recently that he was still alive. The man was Frederick Bullock, believed to have been killed in a road accident on September 13. ■■ The body ■ was identified by Bullock's sister, who had not seen him for 20 years, and a friend, W. H. Langridge, of Tonbridge. Scotland Yard also identified the fingerprints as those of a man named Sydney Stewart, whose description agreed.with that of Bullock. It was thought: that one man used these two names. Bullock, however, walked into the casual ward of Pembury Institution, Tonbridge.. He stated that his fingerprints had< never been taken. "I had him before me in the court," Mr. Arthur Neve, the Tonbridge Coroner, stated, "and he gave evidence that he was alive. I told him that I had already' given an order for his. burial, and-that he ought not to be alive. I am going to confront him —probably ■at the police court—with his friend Langridge." . , .
