I was the editor and owner of the Mansfield Guardian at the time of the murders.
During the Royal Commission I clashed with Mr Graves. He accused me with the following words, 'There was one very remarkable fact showing how they can give evidence if they choose. After the murders of the police, the whole circumstances, and the details relating to Kennedy appeared in an up-country journal, supplied to the press by private information, not by the police, and the man who gave that can give information still. I refer to the newspaper published by Mr. Hall, a member of this commission.'(RC15555)
I could not let him get away with that without comment
I was a member of the committee for the police memorial in Mansfield (Argus20/12/78)
