LETTERS TO KING

ALLEGED THREATS USED HADDON BEFORE COURT LONDON. Jan. 11 Clarence Guy Gordon Haddon, who is 'charged with demanding money from King George by means of threats, appeared at the Old Bailey to-day. He intimated that he had desired from the outset to show that he had grounds for making appeals to the King for justice. The Prosecutor: I cannot subpoena witnesses on "matters that are not relevant to the charge. Those you indicate do not seem to come to actual issue with the charge.

Haddon: Rightly or wrongly, I am tryin'g to show that I have been hounded arid pestered all my life through a certain belief. These people could verify my statement. The Prosecutor: That does not bear on guilt or innocence in connection with this particular charge.

Haddon: I have witnesses to say that my mother secretly married the late Duke of Clarence (brother of the King). His Honor: We will not say anything nbcut that at the moment. I will grant the subpoenas, but it is my duty to decide whether the witnesses should be heard. Haddon was remanded on bail until January 19.
