Western Mail Thursday May30th 1926. "I saw that the man was muddy and the bicycle was not, so I thought they had not been aquainted long and informed the police," said Howard COWMEADOW, a cycle dealer, of Cardiff-road, Newport, when giving evidence at Newport County Police-court on Wednesday against Robert ANDERSON, of no fixed abode, who was charged with having stolen a bicycle, the property of Frederick Francis HULBERT, of Coedkernew. Mr. A.M. PILLINER (one of the magistrates): Was Sherlock HOLMES a relative of yours?- Witness: It did not need a Sherlock HOLMES to catch him. Prisoner was further charged with having stolen a coat, vest, and wallet, the property of Humphrey WATKINS, a labourer, on the same day. He was stated to be wearing the stolen property in court. In reply to the bench, prisoner said he tramped from Scotland in search of work, and found a job on the Cardiff road improvement scheme. He had a row with the "ganger," and threw up his job. Superintendent RICHARDS said the employer was willing to take defendant back, and in the circumstances the bench decided to deal leniently with him by binding him over for twelve months. Two young Welshmen arrested in connection with the theft of a motor-car at Keynsham, Somerset, on Monday made a brief appearance at a special court at Keynsham on Wednesday morning. The defendants are Arthur SMITH, (18) of Graig, Pontypridd, and Rhys THOMAS, (18) of Cilfynydd, Pontypridd. Superintendent FORD said the prisoners were charged with stealing a Morris Oxford motor-car, valued £200, together with seven gallons of petrol, valued at 12s.; a rug 15s., a fishing rod, 10s.6d. and a Kodak camera, £2.2s., the property of Dr. Charles HARRISON, of Keynsham. When prisoners were brought to Keynsham and jointly charged with the theft of the car THOMAS replied: "We told them at the other police-station what we intended to do-to leave the car about four miles out of London and walk in for work." SMITH had nothing to say. Seargent JEANS stated that the two prisoners called at the police-station at 11.35 on Monday morning and asked if food was supplied there. Prisoners were remanded in Horefield Prison until May 28. Where to buy the WESTERN MAIL in MUMBLES. Mrs. JOHN, Newton-road. Mr. TUCKER, The Dunns.
