MISTAKEN IDENTITY
BOOKING CLERKS NOT BURGLARS Booking clerks were mistaken for burglars at a station at Ealing, London, recently. A new porter, seeing a light in the booking office at 2 a.m., listened, and hearing the clinking of money, assumed that burglars were at work. The police were sent for, and upon arrival guarded every loophole of escape. Upon entering the booking office one of the officers exclaimed: Come on; the game's up. The station is surrounded. You can’t get away.” s It was not before the clerks had produced their credentials that the police were convinced.
