ACCUSED DISCHARGED
BRITISH FASCIST TRIAL Presa Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, March 10. On the resumption of the Fascist case Miles gave evidence that he took Richardson's badge of membership when he refused to surrender it. He knew he had been expelled, and “accordingly when he refused to surrender papers to enable mo to see whether they concerned the movement I went to take them. He hit me, and I struck back twice, which I thought necessary because he had been boasting of his ability as a boxer.” The solicitor said that British Fascists never used castor oil for punishment. All the accused were discharged. [William Symes, Arthur Miles, and Albert Sharman, officials of the British Union of Fascists, were charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm on George Richardson, otherwise Malcolm Scott, a press contributor.]
