BANK CLERK AND GIRL
Alleged Struggle on Train
The story of a struggle on the foot
.board of an electric train was told at
Croyddn recently, when Harold A. V.
Bisset, aged 34, a bank clerk, of
Queen's-road, Wallington, Surrey, was
committed for trial . on a charge of in
. decently assaulting a girl aged 14.
(states ' the London 'Daily Mail' of re
cent date).
The girl, Janet Spayne, of Cheam,
Surrey, said that on the evening of
October 24 she was travelling home
from Norbury, N.W., where she was
attending a business training school
After the train had left Selhurst she was
alone in a compartment with Bist-el,
who twice drew her on to his knee,
and kissed her. She resented it, and
though he tried to prevent her, she
pulled the communication cord.
The train stopped, ? by which time
she had opened the door and was out on
the footboard. She was lifted down by
the driver and put in another compart
ment.
George A. Hicks, an insurance offi
cial, of Wallington, who was in th-3
next compartment, said that before tur'
train had stopped he saw the girl
struggling on the footboard against.,
someone apparently trying to pull lwr
into the compartment.
Bisset pleaded not guilty and re
served his defence.
