Great Interest was taken today In the police court pro ceedings against the suffragette lead ers held on charges of conspiracy un der the malicious damage act. Archibald Bodkin, prosecuting coun sel, In opening the case, said the de fendants had been constantly meeting together. He refered to "General" Mrs. Drummond as "tt violent and un scrupulous woman." lie said Clayton, the chemist In whose possession was und documents describing a plan for turning down buildings in London had ut hl-i brains at- the disposal of the omen for carrying out crimes and producing what their own paper dc- ribed as "a reign of terror in Lon- on.

Mr. Bodkin culled at tention to her declaration of a truce while parliament was discussing the government's franchise bill. At a word from 'her, tie sold, militancy stopped nly to be resumed at her command hen the bill was withdrawn. "The doings of these miscreants," he continued, "were openly published In the newspaper, The- Suffragette, hieh is an organ of crime." Referring to the conspiracy revealed in the correspondence of the chemist, layton, with Mis Annie Kenney, Mr. Bodkin said It is a terrible thing for a man to prostitute his knowledge to carry out uch wicked acts as the burning oi buildings and the explosion of bombs. The documents seizea at the head- liiarters of the militant suffragettes ncluded receipts for money paid to uffragettes convicted of crimes which apparently qualified them to be placed on the pension list.

The cost of the scheme, I fHii in. $100,000, was probably the reason why It was not Immediately accepted.
