GLIMPSE OF HATRY.

WITNESS IN POLICE COURT.

GLANCE AT SKY AND SUN. Clarence Ha try, Edmund Daniels, Albert Edward Tabor, and John Dixon were among the witnesses called to the Giuldhall Police Court. London, at the end of May, to give evidence in the caso affecting John Gialdini.

Gialdini was under arrest in Italy, charged at the instance of the P>ritish Government with complicity in the Hatry frauds. His extradition could not be carried out as he was arrested by the Italian authorities for trial in his own country.

The evidence was heard in camera in the same court in which the proceedings against Hatry and his associates took place before they were committed for trial at the Old Bailoy. They wore their private clothes aud were taken to the Police Station in taxicabs. There they waited until they were called into court. Only counsel, solicitors, 3nd others directly concerned with the caso were admitted. Hatry, first to be called, was accompanied by a warder and one of the Guildhall officials in his blue and scarlet livery, llatry walked briskly from the magistrates' private door of the Police Court across the intervening space of the courtyard and into the court. He wore a smartly-cut brown suit with a black tie, and was hatless. Hatry glanced quickly up at the blue sky and the sun shining on the grey old buildings in those few yards of open air and freedom; and then, lowering his head, followed the warder into the great hall dimly lighted with stained-glass windows; and so to the court room, the door of which was closely guarded by city poli'-e.
