Syme was dismissed from the po-
lice force some thirteen years ago
and at once developed into a crank
with a grievance. He has been agi-
tating against the authorities ever
since and has been imprisoned repeat
edly for trying to create disturb
ance. When he is locked, up he
starts hunger striking. When the
prison doctors think he has gone
hungry as long as he can do so safe
ly, he is released.
Recently he made a speech in
Trafalgar Square and threatened to
do for the King if the authorities did
not right his wrongs for him. On
failing to furnish securities for his
good behavior he was again sent to
prison for three months, and at once
declined to eat.
King George is interested in Syme,
and anxious that he should not starve
himself to death. So His Majesty
asked that he be released before he
got too weak. So he is again at
liberty, but the authorities are watch
ing him closely.
