The serious chatges of performing an a)tcg?d illegal operation titx-)n? a Morri?ton girl, in which some well known Swansea people are concerned, again came before the Swansea magistrates on Wed- nesday. The case, as alleged by the prosecution, was outlined last Monday week, in a :ong address by Mr St. John Francis Wtiliams, whose statements were supported in evidence oy tlu* girl upon whom the alleged ope; ation t-ook place. Ijong before the time fixed for the adjourned hearing a crowd collected outside the Guiidoall to watch the arrira! of the parties concerned, and when the doors were opened the Crown I Court at the Guildha.l was speedily I i'iUcv.i. The following were the charges: I Annie Lloyd, married, of Park Wern- toad, Skettv. was charged with perform- ing an illegal operation on Annie May Lew is, oi Glynou-street, MoiTiston, for the purpose of procuring a miscarriage, on Vliiv IHh, and Harr Iet Stepiiciis. married, and Hannah Ankers, married, both of the White Hart Hotel, Swansea, and Glyn Morris (29), accountant, of Ynisforgan, were charged with aiding and a hotting in the al.eged offence. Mr. St. John Francis Williams (in- structed by Mr. Laurence Richards), fa,' the PubHf Prohpcution. aga.in ap- peared to prosecute Mr. Trevor Hunter ? (instructed by Messrs. Andrew and! 'Hiomp^m) appeared for Mrs. Lloyd I Mr B. F. Williams, K.C., and Mr; Marlay Samson (instructed by Messrs.

The magistrates present were Messrs Richard Martin (in the chair), Alder- man W. Williams. -7. WignaJl, JC. O. Protheroe. W. H .PMwards, W. J. Roes and T..1. Davies. Women Asked to Leave. I The Chairman said that the magis- trates were of opinion that before they began all women should go out of court. There was some applause in court a t the ann-ounepownt. Mr. John Francis Williams said ihat. i something had conic to his notice of which he did not know on the last occasion. "When Glyn Morris was arrested, and was searched by Detective Barry. a Itfcr was found in his posses-sion written hy Annie May Lewis. rhk, i letter related to her monev, and further i stated that she wanted to try and see her lather and mother, and to let them know that she was quite safe and happy. It further asked Mr. Morris to keep her place for her in ca-se s he did Dot like her actuation, and said she was at Sketty, 10, Parkwern-road. I Annie Lewis Recalled. Annie May Lewis was then recalled, and in answer to Mr. St. John Francis i Viilliams. said Glyn Morris asked her to urita that letter so that he could give it to her father on the Sunday when lie; came down to the works. Glyn Morris; told her what to write in the letter, and ¡.;aid she was not to put the White Hart as the address. In cross-examination by Mr. B. F. Williams, witness admitted that a great j deal of wlHt was in the Jetter was lies, but she was told what to put. Mr. B. F. Williams: So the object of he letter was to deceive your father and mother?—Yes. Mr. St. John Franci s Williams; On) whose instigation were the lies written? I Mr. Glyn Morris. j You told Maggie R.ees you were going! into Mrs. Lloyd's service. Who told you j to tell that lie:-—Mrs. Lloyd. HERBALIST'S EVIDENCE. Alleged Compact with Clyn Morris. John William Thompson, herbalist, Waterloo-street, Swansea, said that Annie May Lewis came into his shop about the middle of April this year. The Chairman at this point informed witness that he was not bound to answer any question he thought, would incriminate him. Continuing, witness said that as a result of the examination, he formed a certain oonclusion as to her condition, and he told Glyn Morris. Morris asked witness to do the best he could to get rid of it, and said he didn't mind what it would cost. Witness thought they had a bottle of medicine, for which Morns paid 2s. 6d. Mr. Ivor Bowen here interrupted with a formal objection that this was not evidence against Mrs. Ankers and Mrs. I Stephens. Witness, continuing said both came together to his shop on two other occasions, and took a bottle of medicine, for which Morri.s paid. On the follow- ing Friday lie asked the young lady how she ,as and s he rephod, "Just the she was, He told the girl it was no g<?xl same. taking any more stuff. That was tne last occasion on which he saw either Morris or the girl. Mr. B. F. Williams: If your story is true, your object in giving her the medicine was gettiug a miscarriage. Come, out with it I Useless Medicine. Witness: She might have fancied it, but I knew that what I gave her was no grod. Were you committing a fraud upon them?—It might have been, In a way. Did you lead them to believe that you were giving the girl something which would cause a miscarriage?-- Vcs. Is it your story that you were de- ceiving them and taking their money under false pretences?—\es. Havo you often done that kind ot I thing? So. Was til's the first tune?—-Oh, no, not the first time. Are you in the habit of having people coming to your shop to get mis- cauiagesP-l have had people como. Often?—Not very often. One in a week?—Perhaps I wouldn't get one in a month. Is that your average. About one in a month?- Less than that. Do you ever give them stulr vuat would produce a m;scarriager-No. Always defrauded them?—Yes. What did you give them ?—A mix- ture of quinine and iron. I Reasons for Action. I You knew you were ('hEatill¡,m ¡I by obttin?ng money by 1 false pl"dnees -if your story is true?—Y&s. How long have you been carrying on I this fraud in Waterloo-street ?-I have been in business now in Waterloo- street for three years. I Carrying on the same tradmeni practices?—Yes. Can .you give me a rough estimate of jlht- n umber of persons you It--ve cue;vte<i ?—No. 1 only want a rough estimate—can you give the number of persons you have defrauded within a hundred?— No that comes in?—No, I don't. What were you getting a bottle ?— 2s. 6d. What made you stop?—Because I knew it wouldn't do them any good- But you knew that at nrstr-If people like to coroe and pay me their money. I can't help it. (Laughter). Is that. your excuse?—But that was equally true the first time. Why did you stop at the fourth time?^—Because I knew it wouldn't do any good. But the position was the same. Now didn't you think at first that you would give the girl a good thing?—No, I didn't. Why did you on the fourth occasion refuse to take money which you were ready to swindle them out of on the third occasion ?—Because I thought they had had enough. Knowledge Of Drugs. Mr. Ivor Bowen How long have you been in this business as a herbalist? Witness: 18 years. You were carrying on the same game in Oxford-street before you went into Waterloo-street?—The same business. You can it business. Did you ever get any training as a herbalist?-No. You know what drugs will bring about a miscarriage ?-Yes. Witness was cross-examined as to what drugs he kept in his shop and upon his examination of Miss Lewis. He had given no thought as to whether he had acted improperly in carrying out this examination, but he did not think he would examine another. Did you tell Inspector Roberts that you were carrying on business by ob- taining money under false pretences in this way?—No sir. I Dr. Rees's Evidence. I Dr. Frederick John Rees, of Morris- ton, was thg next witness. He was called to see Annie May Lewis at five. past four on the morning of May 28th, at Glyndwr-street, Morriston. He did not go at once because she was an un- insured person. Mr. B. F. Williams: Doctors don't go it,o insured persons, do they? (Laugh- ter)— Yes they do. Mr. St. Jno, F. W-UJiams: Let us get on with the case. We shall be degener- ?ating into a Marconi debate soon. Continuing his evidence, the doctor said he went to the house about five o'clock, and found the girl in bed. She was in very grNt pain, her temperature being 102, and her pulse 126. She made a statement to him, and he gave infor- mation to the police. Later in the morning hr gave her chloroform and examined her. He saw her again at six or seven o'clock in the evening. Witness then gave the resul t of his ex- am in ation. Arrest of Mrs. Lloyd. I I Detective-Inspector Roberts said that on Thursday morning, May 15th, the police received a communication with regard to Annie May Lewis, anli 011 Kuj:da,v morning he saw the girl at her parents' house. In consequence of v. hat .she sakl, witness, Deputy Chief Constahle Gill, Detectives Barry and Evnon went to Parkwern-road, Sketty, where Mrs. Llod lives. He said:— j He are police officers, and have come to sec you on rather a serious matter. Before I say anything further to you, ] wish to caution you that whatever you may say in reply to anything which I may say, it may be given in evidence [against you; and I wish you to under- stand that you are not bound to answer any question that I may ask you. We have come to see you with reference to a young girl that you took from the White Hart Hotel to her home at Mor- riston last night." She replied "Yes." "Witness said: "I am going to take you into custody on a charge of performing an illegal opera- tion upon one Annie May Lewis, on the I 14th lust., for the purpose of procuring a miscarriage. She replied: "It's no good my saying anything; I shall not say anything now." On the way to the police station she said, "It's a" shanit, this little slut is a liar. She has taken enough pills and medicine to kill any- one. It's no use me saying that I did not see her. I did see her, and I did what I could for her. She toid me that s he had been to two or three doctors be- fore I saw her. I think it is a shame that Mr. Glyn Morris- Mr. B. J". Williams here interposed I with the observation that this was not evidence against Mr. Glyn Morris. Witness continued, "I think it's a shame that Mr. Glyn Morris should tamper with a little girl like that, and bring other people into trouble." She 'I asked. "Is Mr. Glyn Morris locked up?" and witness replied: "No, not yet At the Central Police Station witness charged her with feloniously perform- ing an illegal operation upon one Annie May Lewis at Swansea on the 11th May. for the purpose of procuring a miscarriage. She replied, I shan't say anything about it. At the White Hart. I A bout one o clock oil Monday morn- ing, the 19th witness went to the White Hart Hotel and saw Mrs. Stephens, and told her they were police officers She iidmitted that a room they pointed out was her bedroom. Witness sa:d, I have come to see you with refer- ence to an operation that was per. formed on a young girl in that bedroom on the 14th of May." She replied, I know nothing about it. I was not pre- sent. It was nothing to do with me. I know there was a girl here. I was asked to take some hot water into the loom. I did .0. Mrs. Lloyd and the girl were in the room." Witness saw Margaret Rees, who, in the presence of Mrs. Stephens, took some clothes from under the bed. Mrs. Stephens re- marked that she did not know the clothes were there, and Maggie Rees I was told to put them there." Witness sent for Mrs. Ankers, and having cautioned her, he pointed to the clot lies and asked her to whom they belonged, an d Mrs. Anket-s iepliect Tliev are mine. I lent the girl those clothes. She had nothing on but what slw "toed np in," At the Central Police Station Mrs. Stephens was charged with aiding and abetting in the offence, and slw repJied I don't know anything about an operation." On the morning of May 19th wit- ness aud Detective Barry saw Mrs. Ankers at the White Hart Hotel, and witness said, "I have come to take you iu to custody, Mrs. Ankers, on a chargo of aiding and abetting in performing j an illega-I operation on Anne May i Lewis." She replied, "I did not see an operation. The girl came here and told me that her mother had locked up her clothes, awl that she wanted to go to a situation. I lent her those clothes. The fit time I saw the girl wa-s in the 6moke-room with Glyn Morris.. This is what comes of doing people a kindness. This houf\ has always been a Dr. Barnardo's Home." A little later Mrs. Ankers said. "1., Glyn Morriss in. custody?" Witness took her to the Guildhall Police Station and charged her. She replied, '*] J.d not see anything. I don't think there was an operation. The clotile-s are mine." About 12 o'clock the same dav he saw Glyn Morris who had been ar- rested by another officer. Wht"; charged with aiding and abettfng lIe replied: "Aiding? Yes. My reply to that is that I know nothing at all about rt. When I said 'yes' I meant that I understood the charge." Mrs. Stephens' Statement. Detective Constab le John Barry, of the Swansea Police Force, said be | was with Juspector Hobens when he arrested Mrs. Stephens at the White Hart HoteL He went to the Central Police Station with her, and she said 011 the way: "1 think it is a shame that I have been brought into this. I suppose it is be- cause that girl slept in my room. She slept with me one night. I know noth- ing about an operation. 1 objected to sleeping with the girl, and removed to a bedroom on the top litiding." At the v_entiai ronec otation sue said: "Area t you going to bring, Mrs. Ankers here." She ought to be here, it was at her place. 1 was told all about it after- wards. He, on the 19th May, went to Morriston Tinplate Works, and saw Glyn Morris. He was accompanied by other police officers. When he told Morris their business, and cautioned him, he told him the charge on which he was going to take him into custody. Morris replied "I don't know what to say. 1 can't say anything, only 1 know nothing about it." Witness took him to the police station. On searching him he found on him a letter. u "To screen Mrs. Ankers," Manon Edwards, ponce matron, said that while sne was being searched, Mrs. Lloyd said: "1 don't know this girl. It is only becaitse, I told a lie tha.t 1 am brought into it at all. I said she was with me, and she was not. I said that to screen Mrs. Amkers. ot the White Hart. She is a very bad girl, only Ib years. She has told ntte a lot of lies. How should 1 know what to do with her. I don't want money; I have enough 1 don't want anything. I hope the girl won't die. She must be a very bad girl to tell liet" Per- haps someone has told her to say this. She has 1)(?en to a l She has been to all the herbalists in Ii town. That is what is making her I. A t 2 o'clock on the Monday morning, Mrs. Stephen was brought in. 'I Mrs. Stephens said: I don't even Snow this girl. This operation was per- formed in my bedroom. T did sleep with her one night. Mrs. Ankers asked me if I would. It is dreadful to be brought into a ease like this. It was quite an accident that I am in Swansea. My husband wanted me to. go with him, and I wish I had now. I know nothing at all about it. I think it's terrible to be brought into a case I like this. I han becn dragged into i it. "All About It." I Later on, about, a o'clock in th« morning, she said "Let me tell you all about it. 1 have been so upset. and you will understand how T have been brought into it. On Wednesday last 1 went to the smoke-room. I theie saw Mrs. Ankers, this girl, and a gentleman. Mrs. Ankers said "That will be all right; come hack at six o'clock." At tea Mrs. Ankers told me tho girl was in trouble. I said, "What a pity!" Mrs. Ankers said, "Do you mind if I use your bedroom for a few days, Kate?" ] said, "Cer- tainly not." Later I was inside my room, when somebody called "Maggie." I said, "Is some one there?" Mrs. IJovd unlocked the door, and said, "Will you bring a little hot water?" I did so. and on taking the water in, saw Mrs. Lloyd and the girl. Mrs. Lloyd asked me to leave the room. Latfcr Mrs. Ankers asked me if I would sleep with the girl. I did so. The girl told I me or Her conn men. ana a.o that lirs. IJloyd had done something to her. I did not slep with her again. Mrs. Lloyd came and took her away on Saturday." At 10 o'clock the same morning at the Pchce station Mrs. Ankers said:- I ;'] know nothing. I saw nothing. The girl told me a lot of Hes. Mylittie friend offered to let her sleep in her room. I want to know why the man is ) not locked up too, because he has a lot of money and is somebody I suppose. This comes of being kind. 1 only did it for kindness, and see where it landed me." Matron's Duty. I Mr. Ivor Hewen: Is it part of your duty as matron to take the statements of prisoners and give them in evidence afterwards? Witness: I was asked if they made a statement to me to make a note of it. I so prose Detective Inspector Roberts asksd you to do that?-—He did. Did lie V.-Il you to warn the people who made these statements to you?— No. That is how it is done at the Swan- sea police station. Have you ever done this before?

I THE REGATTA.  i __?__ THE DAY AT T MUMBLES. | I THE NEW COURSE. I The Swansea Regatta of 1913 took II place to-day under weather conditions which gave promise in the monung <? bo.ng almost !de?. The t'xc&p?oo?y high teni?)-;)tn:? reached during the past T?w day., had led m,wy to a.utic?- pate a break and at eue time it seemed i as though this anticipation would l>e; realts?L There ?(s a st?a?y taU in the tcmpm-ftt.nrp ta?t f-v?mng. and to- ward s midnight ram made its appear- ance. It was, how?vM-, a 'er! shght— indeed insignificant—drizzle. A Frss;ienk}g Breeze. The morning opened fine with a slight westerly breeze. The conditions pointed to the wind increasing so that there was every prospect of some keen and exciting racing. Most oi the class yachts entered for the more important contests arrived on Tuesday, but re- mained in the Roads overnight. There were several changes to be rtoticed in this veaj 's arrangements, not the least interesting—and important from the town's point of iiew-bem-a the altera- tions m the course. In previous years the course had been so arranged that for a considerable time the boats were out of the bay. It used to he argued that this was essential owing to the depth of water being inade- quate at certain points. Capt. Green has on more than one occasion urged that there was no reason why the yachts sjiould not be in the hay for the greater portion, if not all the period over which the race extended. The matter was brought forward by the Mayor at a meeting of the Sailing Committee, who immediately recognised the prac- ticab'Iit"- of the suggestion, and de- cided to fall in with it. In one or two lespovts the promoters of the festival have experienced disappointments. Shamrock and White Heather. The regatta has been shorn of much of tne interest which otherwise would have been attached to it, owing to the absence of the two most famous Brit- ish racers—Sir Thomas Lipton's Sham- rock. and Mr. Kennedy's White Heather. The contest between these two boats three years ago proved a fiasco, it will be remembered, owing to the White Heather getting becalmed off "White Shell Point. It was hoped that both boats would have been seen "tills year, and ha.d they been able to come, a very keen and exciting struggle might havp been seen. Neither Mr. Kennedy or Sir Thomas Lipton are racing their boats this year, much of the latter's time-being taken up in the ¡ arrangement of the prelimiuarle-s in connection with the next series of races for the American Cup, for which Sir Thomas has undertaken to put forward another challenge. Swansea people have such pleasant recollections of Sir Thomas's visits to the town that inci- dentally it need scarcely be said tli'i i they will join heartily in wishing him success in h s latest international ven- ture. Another notablo absentee in one of t^ ne other classes is the Bloodhound, owned by the Marquis of Ailsa. In spite of these and one or two other drawbacks, the committee were able to arrange a programme, an interesting leaf ure of which was the race for keteh- riy,gcd bona-iule trawlers, in connection with which H.R.H. the Prince of Wales most graciously presented a cup to be awarded as the first prize. The Warships. I During the day the torpedo-boat de-I stroys, which arrived at the South Dock Basin on Monday, were again thrown open to the public, and were ¡ visited by a large number of people. I The Mayor requests us to state that on Thursday afternoon the warships will not be open for public inspection, owing to an official reception beng I held. '1 ————————.  < ?. I FROM THE MUMBLtS. I (Our Special Representative's Report). Soon after 9 o'clock the yachts i commenced to appear, and at iu o'clock precisely the pilot cutter Beau- fort, which was being used as the Committee Boat, fired the warning gun, and several of the boats began to move. On board the Beaufort were i the rice-commodore (l,ieut.-Col. J. !v] wardes-Yaughan), the hon. t,.K- (Mr. F. Andrews), Mr. Le Boulanger, Mr. Will. Law, Mr O. O. Schenk, and Mr. H, .J. Brandi • on (representing the Yacht News Agency). By the time the committee boat had reached the starting-point, off the Swansea Pier, there was a fair breeze, but the op nion was expressed hv an expert that the boats would not com- plete the course more than twice. The' big race btewoen the Marquita and the Novada was greatly looked forward to. as nt their first meet- ing this year, at Harwich a week or so ago, the former boat beat the Novada., whilst in the previous year she was top of her class. Another interesting point was that both yachts were sailing under new rigging this year (with what are pocularly called "Marconi" masts). Swansea Pilots Aboard. The Mariquita was beiug piloted by 1 Mr. John Matt11('1YS. of Swansea, whilst i Captain Robert Wrimage, the skipper, was the sailing master. Mr. W. en- kins, another Swansea pilot, was pilot- ing the Norvad'a, while she was sailed by Mr. Charles Ivor, a well-known gentleman who at one time owned the Gavotte, a 12-metre boat, and the skipper was Mr. Turner. Another "crack" boat was the Istria, of the 15-metre class. In the six races in which she competed last year she took prizes—two firsts and tour seconds —and she came out top of her class last var, winning the international cup at Kiel. At eleven o'clock the majority of the yachts cruised around, the Mariquita and the Novadr: proceed ng b the start- ing point. The warning five-minute gun was sounded at 11.10, and the boats hoisted the Blue Peter. Tho Start. At 11.15 the Mariquita And Novada crossed the line in fine style. The Nov- ada kept to windward. For the second race, for 15 metre, 49.2 feet class boats for the Swansea Harbour Trust prizes, only two yachts started the Istria and the Maudrey. In this race alw there was a good start. The lstria-aboard of which was Mrs. Lyndhurst Bruce (nee Camille Clifford, the "Gibson Girl")—got away, and had the lead for some time.
