I should have made sure there was nobody in the flat before I attended the chauf- feur. Come up. Do you know any- thing about first aid? You can look after my man while I telephone.” ‘Within a minute every police station in London knew of the robbery. Mo- tor cyclists were starting out to warn the patrolmen to look for a man with a hag. and—here the description was explicit—for a girl in a mackintosh coat. ‘Williams was now vecovered suffi- ciently to tell all he krew, which was not much. He did, ho¥ever, confirm Shanron’s theory that the robbery oc- curred only a few minules before he arrived. “I was sitting at the table reading the evening newspaper when I thought I heard a sound in the bedroom. I listened, but it seemed to me that n was only the flapping of the blinds, and I didn’t get up. The last thing I remember was reading an account of an Old Bailey trial.” The back of the building in which Shannon’s flat was situated looked out upon the flat roof of an annex built out_from Lower Regent street, and he realized for the first time how simple @ matter it was for a burglar to gain admission through the rear of the premises.
