| 説明 | Cadishead and Irlam Guardian May 1926.ALLEGED THEFT FROM A JEWELLER.MAN AND WOMAN CHARGED.At the Manchester County Police Court on Friday last Week, Samuel Gyles (40), described as a commission agent of no settled abode, and a woman whose name was given as Annie Gyles (28), who was stated to be a married woman living apart from her husband, were remanded for a week on a charge of stealing two gold wedding rings valued at £6 10s., by means of a trick from the jeweller's shop of Edgar Albert Knupfer, Liverpool Road, Cadishead.Superintendent Yates said the police had not completed their inquiries, which were still in progress. Quite a number of other cases were alleged against the prisoners from other towns.According to the police evidence, it appeared that prisoners called at the prosecutor's shop at 4.30p.m. on May 14th, and asked to see some 22 carat gold wedding rings.The trays which were then placed on the counter in the shop, contained about 50 rings each. The prisoners said they were too small, but at the same time selected one to be enlarged, and left a deposit of 2s. 6d. on same. Shortly after they left the shop, the prosecutor missed two other gold rings, and informed the police.P.C. Manchester followed prisoners in the direction they had been seen to go, and overtook them at Irlam Bridges. He asked them if they had been in a jeweller's shop and they both replied "Yes."Witness then took them back and when they got into the shop the female prisoner said "I must have dropped them in the shop." She lifted a piece of paper up off the counter, and at the same time the male prisoner slipped one ring down his coat sleeve, and fixed it under the paper, and the female prisoner said, "Here it is."The incident, however, had been observed, and the female prisoner was noticed to be wearing the other ring. They were taken into custody, and when charged the female prisoner replied: "There is nothing to be said," whilst the male prisoner replied: "Yes, I took them."Superintendent Yates added that from inquiries that had already been made it was found that the male prisoner was wanted by the police in Warrington, Liverpool, Southport, Manchester and Blackpool for theft of jewellery.PRISON FOR JEWEL THIEVES.LONDON GANG CAUGHT AT CADISHEAD.UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO CONCEAL THEFT."Their modus operandi is to go into a jeweller's shop, ask to see certain articles, and appropriate anything they can get away with. They are a gang of London thieves touring the country," stated Superintendent Yates at the Manchester County Police Court on Thursday when Samuel Gyles (40) and Annie Gyles (28), no fixed abode, were charged with stealing two rings, value £6 16s. the property of Albert Edgar Knupfer, 36, Liverpool Road, Cadishead, jeweller: and two pairs of ear-rings, value £172 10s., belonging to Messrs, Boodle and Dunthorpe, of Liverpool.With them in the dock was William Rogan McIntyre, 14, Colby Road, Gipsy Hill, Upper Norwood, London, who was charged with having been concerned with Annie Gyles and another woman not in custody with stealing one gold ring, value £20 on April 7th, the property of Messrs Connard and Sons, of Lord Street, Southport.RING IN SLEEVE.P.C. Manchester said that on May 14th, Mr. Knupfer came up to him in Liverpool Road, Irlam, and in consequence of what he said they went towards Eccles, overtaking the two Gyles's.Witness took them back to Mr. Knupfer's shop. Both the accused made a pretence of searching the counter for certain articles of jewellery which the prosecutor suggested that they had taken.A ring dropped down the man's sleeve. Witness took them to the station, where the woman removed a ring from her finger. When charged, the male prisoner said "I took them both. There is nothing to be said."Charged later with the theft of earrings and jewel from Liverpool, both replied, "Yes, that is right." The property involved in the various charges against the accused was of the total value of about £340. This morning the three pleaded guilty.PRISONERS' LIFE STORIES.Superintendent Yates said that the male Gyles, alias George White, was aged 40, and a married man living apart from his wife. He served in the Navy between 1914 and 1918, was afterwards employed in Manchester and London, and followed race meetings.He met the woman Gyles, whose real name was Cupple, in December, 1925, and they had since travelled the country committing crime.
