"A DOOMED MAN."
KNYVETT AND THE ENQUIRY. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wanganui, Last Night. A public meeting was held at the Opera House this evening in response to the invitation of the Knyvett Defence Committee, to hear the' facts of the case connected with Captain Knyvett's dismissal from the volunteer force. Mr. A. J. Black, one of the speakers, created somewhat of a sensation by declaring that lie had the authority of Captain Bosworth, a member of the Court of Inquiry, to state that he (Bosworth) had said within tile past few days: "Before we sat for that trial, Knyvett was a doomed man."
A motion was carried unanimously to the effect that Parliament should pass the necessary legislation to provide for a new and fair trial for Captain Knyvett, and t.o prevent the occurrence in future of a similar travesty of justice in the case of other persons who may be officially accused of military crimes in this Dominion.
