SENSATIONAL STATEMENT.
By Telegraph—Press Association. WANGANUI, June 27. A public meeting was held at the ! Opera House this evenirg, in response to an invitation from the Knyvett Defence Committee, to hear fha 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 he had the authority of Captain Bosworth, a member of the Court of Inquiry, to state that he (Bosworth) had said within the past few days "before *we sat for the trial Knyvett was a doomed man." A motion waa carried unanimously to the effect that Parliament should be mked to pass the necessary legislation to provide for a fresh and fair trial for Captain Knyvett, an I to prevent the occurrence in future of a similar travesty of justice in the case of other persons who might be officially accused of military crimes ia the Dominion.
