A DESPERATE STRUGGLE WITH TILT.E.O

Three men, named Ingram, Holmes, and Smith, Were
indicted at the Central Criminal Court on ThursdaY,
Lord Chief Baron Kelly, for Lurglariously entering
l'
premises of the Kent Waterworks, Deptford. 4"
evidence shewed that a most desperate struggle had taken
j;:ittlee
place between the prisoners and the police.
and another detective were passing the Prern,ls:4
in question, and on looking through the vi""‘:
saw the prisoners there. Knowingthemto '-
desperate characters, Kittler thought it would b°,
better to obtain assistance, and went to the foreman
house, which was in close contiguity, for that Par Pl.
The foreman joined the detectives, and an effort Karela
to capture the burglars. Kittler attempted to appel
Ingram, but that person, with great strength, fp'ir,/,,
lifted the officer off his legs and tried to throw him
the n-
the river that runs close by the premises. Failing in tbil
he turned round, Lit the foreman of the woiks 113
band most severely, and then savagely turned round Ag3:s
and
forced Kittler, who closed with him on the pavement, and w.--J
forced to use his life-preserver. Even afterwards it was Wa
necessary to bind Ingram with ropes and convey him on
stretcher to the station. The other prisoners juiiihot
this wholesale attack, and in the confusion ese,Ped'
were captured on the same day, Smith being li'lied I
the time. The foreman of the works was el3,in'
as a witness, and appeared in court With hy
head and hand bandaged. The coat worn
cj
Smith at the time of the burglary was prancd, btit
from its appearance there could scarcely be a d° 131:,
that the wearer of it had been engaged in a '-V-7

struggle. The jury found Ingram and Smith guiltYcie
Holmes not guilty. Lord Chief Baron Belly sever -,:ir
Ingrain to five years' penal servitude, and the oth
sorer to fifteen months' hard labour.
