NIGHT-CLUB CORRUPTION
SERGEANT IN THE DOCK HANDLED BIG MONEY (United P.A. —By Telegraph—Copy rig hi , (Australian and A .Z. Press Associat ion) Reed. 11.25 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. On the resumption of the corruption charge against former Police-Ser-geant Goddard, in connection with London night clubs, bank clerks gave evidence that several notes of high denominations were traced as having passed from a Soho night club to Goddard, and were eventually foun(,l in his safe deposits. Superintendent Morton, of Goddard’s division, submitted various reports from Goddard in connection with the clubs, which resulted in complaints. Goddard was instructed to watch these. At the outset there was not a tittle of evidence. The illegal liquor allegations were characterised as being without foundation and unsubstantiated. He submitted other reports by Goddard, replying to anonymous charges, in which Goddard said the writers must be suffering from hallucinations or must be confirmed liars. The superintendent added that considerable expense had been incurred by Goddard throughout the observations. Once he paid out £SO in expenses to Goddard. The case was adjourned.
