LIONEL TERRY.
Testimonial from Dr Trilby King.
Lionel Terry is enjoying himself in Central .Otago. He rested with a sheep farmer for two days, and played draughts with him most of the time. Dr Truby King, in a letter to the Otago Daily Times, says that Terry has unfortunately placed himself in a position which causes people to pity him, though it does not entitle them to do so, to speak, write, and act as though Terry had neither understanding, feeling, or sensibility. The fact that a man of strong convictions and intense earnestness of purpose had felt impelled to act, and had acted, in a ty which gained him an entry the hospital for mental diseases, au'ords no excuse for insulting public reference, which can do nothing but harm ; it is not reassuring to lonely women in the back country to read alarming and suggestive articles, representing Terry as a particularly dangerous type of criminal, when he is in reality a singularly kind and courteous gentleman, who would never dream of molesting or harming them in any way.
