The “Daily Mail” states that Captain Hutchinson, of the Port Lincoln, has wirelessly transmitted Knight’s message to the Bishop of Ripon relinquishing priestly orders, also a statement to tho public to the effect that while working in Leeds in connection with white slavery he lost his good reputation and tho reputation of his comrade who was working with him through the babbling tongues of people seeing evil where it did not exist. While seeking to prevent a girl from being sent to a house of ill-fame in Leeds he was openly accused of evil by one of his own church workers. He adds: “Feeling that I had brought ruin and disgrace on the Church, I thought that by dying in one country I might recover for myself and restore to my comrade a new reputation.” . Knight also says: “My wife is not blameworthy. I am prepared to bear the. consequences of my act. I have no definite plans except working for a living, and seeking oven as an outcast to do somo good in the world and redeem what appears to be evil.”
