the London police annals Of this year
Patroling a Clerkenwell street at night
q policeman found a mans finger i'm
paled on a spike surrounding a gateway.
He took the grim relic to Scotland Yard,
where a print of its markings was taken
and compared with the other finger
prints in the Rogues Gallery. It was
thus proved to belong to notorious thief,
William Mitchell
A man with bandaged right hand
was eventually found among a gang of
pickpockets in South London, far away
from the place where the finger was
found He protested his innocence, gave
his name as Harry May, and Indignantly
asked how he could pick pockets with a
hand like that?
But the evidence of the severed finger
was conclusive, and Harry May" con-
fessed that he was really William Nit
chell, and that the finger was torn away
while he was climbing the gate in Clerk
enwell.
The police proved a number of previ-
Gus convictions against Mitchell. who was
sentenced to twelve months hard labor
as a suspected person.
