TRIAL OF BOTTOMLEY.
A PLEA OF “NOT GUILTY." GRAVE ALLEGATIONS. By Telesrraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received May 19, 5.5 p.m. London, May 18. For the Bottomley trial at the Old Bailey the jury included two women. The Judge allowed the prisoner to sit at the solicitor’s table in order to keep in touch with the experts assisting in the defence. Bottomley pleaded decidedly “not guilty.” Mr. Travers Humphreys detailed twenty-four counts of alleged frauds, aggregating over £200,000. He said that Bottomley made up his mind to steal a hundred thousand belonging to the Victory Bond Club, and he added: “I say that advisedly.” Bottomley was unperturbed and continued taking notes.
