This was followed by Arthur Cudby abruptly withdrawing liis previous plea of not guilty. He said he wished to enter a plea of guilty on all five charges, and withdrew his allegations against the police. He was remanded for sentence. In the case of. the other brother, the jury, after an absence of 20 minutes, returned a verdict of guilty. Both men will be sentenced on Saturday.
