NOT GUILTY
SEARCH FOR BATTERIES BRISBANE OFFICIALS BUSY Prior to the start of the Brisbane Thousand the Q.T.C. stipendiary stewards, acting at Albion Park with the assistance of ttmee officers from the criminal investigation department, searched the 14 riders engaged to steer the Thousand candidates, and then went through the gear of the horses
saddled up to take part in the race. Nothing of an incriminating nature was discovered. The chairman of the stewards subsequently announced that rumour had been busy regarding the use of batteries, and as a criminal offence might be involved it was decided to invoke the assistance of the criminal investigation department in the search that was decided upon. It was stated that previously a battery had been found at Albion Park, and apparently that was responsible for the action taken.
