MAN CHARGED WITH THEFT

AN ADMIRALTY SENSATION

LONDON, May 29. The manner in which the police learned of the whereabouts of the photographs of plans of the submarine K2 provided a feature at the bearing of tho Court of Inquiry of the charge preferred by the Admiralty against Sam Goode, a Portsmouth shop assistant, of having had the plans in his possession. Following Goode's request for the photographers blue prints of the submarine, which bo had submitted to John Blake, a Bond street photographer, Blake'communicated with the police. The result was the discovery that the plans bad been extracted at Portsmouth, photographed and replaced undetected. Tho prosecution allege that Goode met Captain Attfield and a man named Charbonneau, at Portsmouth, in 1925, in connection with rum-running. He asked if Attfi old could dispose of submarine plans. Attfield demanded the plans, which Goode supplied after meeting a man named Norman, whose cousin was employed at Portsmouth. Attfield and Charbonneau became nervous and communicated with tho Admiralty. Goode was remanded on bail of £IOOO.
