HAD MET BEFORE
MAGISTRATE REMEMBERS WIDELY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. LONDON, April 27. “We'vf met. before,” declared the magistrate, Sir John Francis, to-day, when remanding William Salmon on a charge of attempting to murder Edward Wilson whom Salmon stabbed in the back, on April 8 at Southend Court, after Wilson had been fined for stealing from Salmon’s house. Wilson was still too ill to appear to-day. The first meeting, to which Sir John referred, occurred in 1921, when, as Mayor of Southend, he presented Salmon with a gold watch in appreciation of his bravery in attempting to rescue a comrade from a gas-filled sewer.
