THE KNIGHT ERRANT.
BEHAVED QUEERLY. INFLUENCE OF HIS WIFE. (Received 9.35 a.ra.) London, February 4. Hunslet villagers are incensed at Knight’s conduct, owing to having made a three weeks’ indefatigable search. Knight was a popular cricketer, footballer, and boxer. Lately he treated his wife violently, and behaved queerly, and on the 18th inst. compelled his wife to accompany him to Birdlington, and from there tramped six miles in mud and fog to a cliff. Ho told her ho intended to disappear, and carefully prepared a scene, leaving his umbrella and camera on the cliff. Then he departed, after instructing his wife to go to the nearest farm-house and say she saw him fall over the cliff. His wife was unaware of Knight’s intentions, but was simply terrorised. She did not know of his relations with the school teacher. BELIEVED TO HAVE SAILED TOGETHER. (Received 10.55 a.m.) It is believed that Knight and the school-teacher sailed in the Ballarat under assumed names.
