An attempted forcible entry of the London and Paris
Hotel, Folkestone, early on Thursday morning, was foiled by the vigilance of
the proprietor, Mr. Pat Attwood. Mr. Attwood, who lives on the premises with
his wife and eight years old grandchild, was going to bed shortly after
midnight when he heard the sound of breaking glass downstairs.
“I at once went downstairs carrying a police
truncheon”, he told the Folkestone Herald, “and saw that a window in the public
bar had been smashed. I saw a soldier start to pull the glass away, and then
his head and arm came through. I hit him twice with the truncheon; first across
the forehead and eye, and then on top of the head. I heard him groan and I went
through another door into the street, but when I got there the soldier had
disappeared”.
Mr. Attwood believes that the would-be intruder
must have had some companions with him, because, in his opinion, he must have
been too severely injured to have got away without assistance.
