Western Morning News 19 Aug 1930: Herbert Jones jewellery stolen
BOOKMAKER’S CLERK CHARGED WITH THEFTGold watches presented by King Edward and Lord Astor to Herbert Jones, the ex-jockey, figured in a burglary charge preferred at Bow-street Police Court yesterday against Albert Webster, aged 35, described as a bookmaker’s, clerk of no fixed home. Mr. Jones, who lives at Trumpington, Cambridge, said that while staying with relatives in the Great West-road, Isleworth, on April 24, the house was broken into, and about £150 worth of jewellery was stolen from a drawer in his bedroom. Webster, who said that he knew nothing about the housebreaking, and had no idea that the things had been stolen, was committed for trial.
