READING INQUEST.
DREW GIVES SPEECH FROM HOTEL BALCONY. (Continued from page 1.) (United Press Assn.—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received October 11, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, October 10. The jury in the Reading inquest was two and three-quarter hours considering the verdict. There were remarkable demonstrations in the crowded Court, where Drew was reclaimed as a hero, and also in the streets, where a crowd of 4000 accompanied him to his hotel and listened to a fervid speech from the balcony. Drew said: “The One above (here he almost broke down), like myself, knows I had nothing to do with this crime. From the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of Mr and Mrs Lindo, I thank you.” When Drew retired Mrs Lindo came to the front of the balcony and threw kisses to the crowd, and thanked them in broken phrases until Drew returned and kissed her lips, amid cheers. Mr and Mrs Lindo say that there is a possibility of their appearance in “The Monster”. Drew said: “I do not want a holiday. I would like to appear in “The Monster” to-night. When I do I shall act as never before.”—Australian Press Association.
