    "Witness showed him the watch bracelet and told him that that was what he was charged with receiving. He replied, 'I have never seen it before.' " And yet Donald Trump gets away with this very defense time after time . . .

    "Fatty" Potter? How on earth would he have scored a nickname like that!

    I found 9 newspaper stories (from 1926-1932) about this fellow. Here's one: A "CAT" MAN CAUGHT -- HID IN A LIFT SHAFT -- Newcastle. Monday. - Described as "a dangerous man who could climb any wall and get to any house window", James Boyd Potter was at Newcastle today sent to prison for three months for being on enclosed premises. Sergt. Robinson found the accused hiding in a lift shaft in buildings in Bath-lane. "It was a dark night," the accused pleaded, "and the doors were open. What could you expect me to do?" -Hull Daily Mail - Monday 11 October 1926

    From a year earlier: APPEAL FOR ANOTHER CHANCE -- Man Who Did Not Pretend To Be an Angel. Pleading guilty at Newcastle to two charges of theft from warehouses in which goods valued at £50 15s 9d were involved, James Boyd Potter (25), of no fixed abode, against whom was a long list of previous convictions, appealed to the the Bench for another chance. "I don't want you to think I am an angel," he said. "I have a bad record, but I came out of prison four months ago, after a sentence of eighteen months, determined to do what was right. I had not a penny and could not get work. I am willing to do anything. I have had no assistance from the parish or the "dole." Give me another chance, and if I come back you can send me to prison for as long as you like. Prison has no effect on me." Mr. C.J. Dymond (chairman) said it was difficult to know what to do with a man with a record like accused. However, they decided not to send him for trial. He would have to go to prison for twelve months. "Twelve months! And I will come out without a penny!" exclaimed accused as he went below to the cells. Dundee Evening Telegraph - Friday 13 November 1925

    The boxes have solid head (end) were made by had or by a box machine. The triangle shaped vertical end piece tie the head, side and end together using box nails. The conveyer belt corner is interesting. The box may be pushe around the corner by the 'next' box on the belt. these boxes are being received, they are going into the warehouse from the field. The full boxes on the cart have the top layer turned at a 90 degree angle to the stack. I never saw this done or boxes that were sized allowing this. The truck in the background is easy to miss.
