produced to her a wad of one-pound notes from which he gave her £2. She stated that on arriving home her son looked soiled and tired, but that after pressing his trousers and changing certain articles of clothing, he prepared to leave the house, stating that he was meeting some friends and going to stay with them at a bungalow for a few days. It is perhaps interesting to note that after Galbraith had changed his underclothing his mother washed the shirt he had taken off. This day was Good Friday—not a normal washing day—and, although there must have been other soiled articles in the home, the shirt was the only article she washed. In explanation she said she had done so because her son might have required a clean shirt after the week-end! West Canadian Hydro-Electric | Corporation Limited @ Subsidiaries: Okanagan Telephone Co.

Galbraith’s mother was unable to supply any information regarding the friends with whom he was supposed to have gone to the bungalow other than that he had made their acquaintance at a wedding reception on April Ist. Subsequent enquiries of per- sons attending this wedding reception led the police officers to the home in Fallow~ field, Manchester, of a young married wo- man named Mrs. X., in whose company Galbraith had spent his time at the wed- ding reception. Mrs. X., when seen by the officers later in the evening of the 11th April, stated that she had returned home that evening from a few days’ visit to Liver- pool with Galbraith and that he had left her house to return to his own home about half an hour before the Police called on her. Throughout that evening, therefore, detectives were engaged searching licensed premises and other known haunts of Gal braith’s but he was not traced -until his arrival home shortly before midnight, when he was detained and brought to Police Headquarters. DETAINED BY POLICE Outside his home Galbraith was put into a waiting police car and was told by the officers that they were making enquiries into the death of a man named Percey, the Chief Radio Officer of the Pacific Shipper, who had been murdered in his cabin on Thursday, April 6th. Galbraith, who from the time of his detention until the end of his trial displayed the utmost confidence and composure, made what might be re- garded as a surprising mistake at the outse particularly in view of the fact that he hac had a day or two in which to prepare himgej for an interview with the Police in th event of them tracing him as the man wh, had been aboard with Percey. When tok by the officers for what purpose he wa being detained, Galbraith said that it hac nothing to do with him, that he had me Percey on the road, shown him the way t No. 9 Dock, but had not been aboard th ship. Whilst in the car on the way to th Police Headquarters, and after a lapse 9j some minutes, Galbraith then volunteere the information that he was the Chie Steward the Police were looking for; thay he had had a drink with Percey on boare the ship and he then added “It looks as ij “We Treat Your Clothes White” PEERLESS LAUNDRY DRY CLEANERS LTD.
