How an ex-convict got work as a solicitor’s clerk and pusing as a solicitor, actually defenued a man in a police-court was described at Loudon sessions, recently. In the dock was Ernest Silverman, aged 34, who admited obtaining over £iOU worth of jewellery and money by false pretences, but denied a charge oi being an habitual criminal. It was stated that Silverman had served two terms of three years’ penal servitude, and one of four years, and was first bound over in 1915. \\ hvn he was released on licence in July last he obtained work with a solicitor, and started committing offences in December. From the, witness-box Silverman declared he was met at. Paddington alter being last released from Dartmoor by Mr. Fenner Brockway, the secetary to the Prisoners’ Aid Society, and Air. Jack Hayes, ex ALP. He stayed with Mr. Brockway lor a week, and then obtained employment as a solicitor’s clerk. Air. John Maude, prosecuting; Did you in fact appear at Westminster police court as a solicitor before Air. Hay Halkett and defend a maid—Yes, because counsel did not turn up. Air. Brockway told the Court he had known Silverman fu-r 10 years, and in reply to Air. St. .John Hutchinson, K.C., defending, stated that he believed be had genuine capabilities in him of going straight. When Silverman was in prison he received letters from him and when leleased his sole desire was to make good. In a lette' to the Court which was read by Air. Hutchinson, Air. Jack Haves said that in his opinion Silverman needed psychological treatment, and no man worked harder to get a job. Silverman, who- was stated to be a member of a highly respected Liverpool family, was sentenced to three years’ penal servitude tnd five years' prevent iv e detention. one of “Not Guiltv. 'He was not even found guilty of manslaughter, but completely acquitted and allowed to g l ’ free. All the Transvaal nulhc cities could do was to expel him from the Republic as a public nuisance and danger. The bird took to the wing again. He was soon back, however, making another insidious attempt to ‘black’ the Joels. He was arrested and put back into prison for four months as a vagabond, and later deported.
