Would that be the one involving the Hartley brothers? I seem to remember a bit of business when the Police, looking to enhance their yearly results, picked them up and tried to coerce them into confessing to crimes they had nothing to do with.
Thats the one.

My grand dad, George Saville Ward, lived in Princess Street, just down the road from where Mr Plommer was murdered by the Fowler Brothers in 1925. Apparently my grand dad was known as a "safe pair of hands" in that he was often asked to "look after" goods until the heat was off. If anyone knows anything about him and my grandmother Lucy Addy I would be delighted to hear
Wrong brothers its the Fowler brothers i was talking about Right up to him dieing the nephew said they were innocent
Hi, My grandmar was Mary Fowler, known as polly fowler, the sister of the fowler brothers mum, apparently they got hanged for a murder they did not commit.
cannot understand why they did not gang up on the coppers or attack their homes. [/B]
because the coppers would go round thier homes and beat the crap out of them, then lock them up for not respecting the law!!!! this is in the days before political correctness,as in the coppers hands were not tied.they could enforce the law[/QUOTE]
Well said deadgobby; it's a shame it's not the same now, bloody PC brigade!
