"You Devils!"

SHRIEKING SUFFRAGETTES CREATE A SCENE \U COURT. [jc? Electric Telegraph—Copyrightj [United Press association.l (Received 8.30 a.m.) , London, April 6.

Exciting scenes took place at Marlborough Street Police Court, when Mrs Drummoud was brought up. By continuous shrieking, she successfully interrupted the proceedings, and said she would not be tried by a court which was doing Asquith's dirty work, and she asked where was Sir Edward Carson and others. Mrs Drummoud was removed struggling violently, and was brought back to court several times, but refused to stop shouting.

Several women shouted "You Devils!" and were ejected. Afterwards they had a scuffle with the police in the street, and a man and a woman were arrested. EXPLOSION IN A CHURCH. London, April 6. Half an hour after evensong at St. Martin's-in-Fields, the police heard an explosion and found in the southern aisle pieces of a bomb and the remnants of a rubber bag. Two stained glass windows and a pew were shattered. Suffragettes are suspected. The Church was filled with a dense smoke. The pew below the pulpit was blown up. The bomb exactly resembled that exploded in Archdeacon Wilberforce's St. John's Church early in March, when the explosion occurred half-an-hour after evensong, and the outrage was connected with the suffragettes by means of a scrap of paper. During the service the occupants of the pew were a prominent church member and an unknown woman, aged about 35. : A candle was inserted in the lid of the canister, and placed under the seat. Apparently eighty minutes elapsed before contact with the gunpowder. Some accounts say the canister was wrapped in suffragettes' literature and contained clockwork. MILITANT ROUGHLY HANDLED.

The girls assaulted them with their fists, tore their hats off and, pulled their hair.
