VICAR’S DOUBLE LIFE
4 SENTENCED FOR SERIOUS OFFENCE London. February 21. A seventy-year-old Church of England clergyman, the Rev. Francis Bacon, was sentenced to fifteen months’ imprisonment for supplying noxious drugs to women. He carried on a mail order business known as “Dr. Hannah Nerown, Ltd.,” for which he assumed the name of Howard Barron, while vicar of All Saints’, Spitalficlds. The Recorder, in passing sentence, denounced the vicar as a Jekyll-Hyde character, concealing a pernicious secret traffic under the cloak of religious hypocrisy.
