THE HYDE PARK SENSATION

METHODS OF SCOTLAND YARD. LIMITATION OF THE INQUIRY. By Teiey- ■ —Press Assn —Copyright. United Service. London, May 21. Messrs Hopkins and Morris have tabled an amendment to the motion moved by Sir William Joynson-Hicks deleting the words referring to the conduct of the prosecution and the evidence in the Hyde Park ease, in which a charge of indecency was laid against Sir LeoChiozza Money, this limiting the inquiry strictly to the police action in taking the girl in the case (Miss Savage) to Scotland Yard. A number of the Opposition fear that the matter of the interrogation of Scotland Yard may otherwise be obscured by a mass of details regarding the Hyde Park incident. Moreover, a public inquiry might produce criminal proceedings for perjury. MURDERER'S WIFE COMPLAINS. TREATMENT FROM THE POLICE. Australian Press Association. London, May 20. Mrs. Browne, whose husband was sentenced to death for the Essex murder, in a startling letter to Reynolds’ Sunday News on the Hyde Park case, says that on the day following Browne’s arrest Scotland Yard men took her to the station at 10.30 in the morning and kept her till 7 o’clock at night and questioned her hour after hour. She had nothing to eat or drink. The child accompanying her cried bitterly: "Mummy, can’t I have something to eat 1” The police then provided tea and rough sandwiches.
