FASCISTS MOBBED
Sequel to Woman’s Death
LONDON, June 19. Tho death of a woman at a BlackShirt open-air meeting at Bootle resulted in extraordinary scenes. The angry crowd followed a van containing speakers to the Fascist headquarters and smashed every window with stones, remaining shouting imprecations until the police arrived in motor-cars. The woman, Mrs Evans, went to the meeting, which was near her home, in order to fetch four of her seven children. The meeting was lively and there was some disturbance at question time. Mrs Evans was found on the ground at the close of the meeting. The crowd immediately rushed the Fascist van. In the meantime the woman's husband, realising that his wife was dying, sent for a priest, who ministered to her. The body was sent to hospital, where it was stated that no marks of violence were found. It is understood that death was due to natural causes.
