LONDON, A pril Tt has been understood
for some years that the annual report to
Parliament Of the Public Prosecutor
amounted 10 little more than an apology for

Prosecutor, Sir A. j. Stephenson, beats the
record by throwing upon two newspapers
the burden OF responsibility for allowing
one Of the most notorious criminals of last
year to slip through his fingers.
