The Ra wson Enquiry
(per united press association.) New Plymouth. March 13.
At the Rawson Commission Walleth said he did not go to the police over the loss of the notes, but told McLaughlan, who shrugged his shoulders, and said " accidents cannot be helped." He did not know if he said to anyone he had been robbed. Witness admitted that the affidavits referred to in the charge were written in his presence, and from answers given by him io questions asked by Mr Samuel in the presence of Rawson and Corkill. He signed all the affidavits lodged in Court. If witness' evidence did not agree with his affidavits now in Court, he would leave it to the Judges. He told Mr Samuel at the time he knew English very well. The chief men who advised him how to act before he filed his bankruptcy were Bellringer, William Humphries, McLaughlan, and William BayJey.
