ANTI-WAR ACTION
MAN SENT TO GAOL DETENTION FOR DURATION. SUGGESTED BY MAGISTRATE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “I can’t understand why something is not done to put you people away for the duration of the war,” said Mr J. L. Stout, S.M., to James Doherty, a carpenter, aged 32, when sentencing him to three months’ imprisonment with hard labour for obstructing the police.
The charge, to which Doherty pleaded not guilty, arose from his addressing some people at a street corner, as a'member of the Christian Pacifist Society.
“You say you are going to do this every time you get out of gaol,” said the Magistrate. “There ought to be some place they can put you in to prevent you creating the trouble that is likely to arise from these speeches, especially at the present time, when so many people have lost relatives and so many others are going overseas to fight for our very life.”
