SEAMAN-DETECTIVE
FOSE THAT FAILED FINE FOR IMPOSTURE /IHARLES SVENSON, aged 41, a seaman, went to an apartment house with a friend to collect a sewing-machine last evening. What happened there led to his appearance at the Police Court today. Svenson pleaded not guilty to a charge of assuming the designation of detective. The apartment house proprietress said that the friend maintained that he was collecting the machine on behalf of the woman with whom he had lived at the house. Knowing he was not the woman’s husband, she refused to part with the machine, and threatened to call the police. Accused then told her that there was no necessity to do that, as he was a detective. Svenson was fined £4, in default seven days’ imprisonment.
