The Shooting of Australian Officers.

AN EYJC-WITNESSKS'S STORY.

A TROOPERS EMPHATIC PROTEST

(Special to the Press.) Dunedin, April 9 The Clutlia Levder editorally state* that it has had in its possession for four months a letter from a trooper In the Bush veldt Carbineers, who testifies to tha .hooting of Boers by M°rant and other officers. The correspondence waa sent Dhem under the pledge of secrecy, bub in view of recent events they now publish it. The writer, who was an eye witness, waa 1 one of those who laid the informations, and was the principal witnesses at the trial, He states:— > & , "1 found myself warned for tha' firing parly to shoot a wounded boy Boer who was said to have been court martiallect and sentenced to death, " • What for .' I asked. " yOh, I don't know, but Fv« warned yon,' was the reply. '* • Well, I'm not going to do It,' I said. *'' They can make you a prisoner.' " 'I'll go prisoner, bub I'll nob shoot a wounded man.'

" I raised my voice in a mosb emphatio pro c b, and a few more did the same, whde others, instead of refusing, cleared oat. I stood bo my guns, aod told then if they were dead oa for shooting they should have foil.)wed up the Boers, aod come wha. would I would nob make myself one of the firing party; By arid 1 bye my Sergeant Major came up and said :— . " It's all right, We have got another man. Yon wi 1 not be asked to do ib.' 11 Still I protested against it, and spoke to the fellows in the same mess with me, fviar of whom were told off for the firing party. One of them was quite willing, bub the others said they would have to obey orders. Seeing tbe feeling of the men, one of the Lieutenants sang out, * If you're so chicken hearted I'll shoot him myself' Botha, a Boer fighting for us, was told off, too. He told me, * I know ' him. I went bo school with him, I ' don't like to do it,' *' The wind up w&e thab of the firing parly called up, one was a volunteer, «. VictorUn. another had belonged to the Essex volunteers, and was always ready to ' blow any Boer's lights out.' The boy spoke no word, but clasped his hands, and as the volley rang oub he fell frora his sitting position backwards. Then

Lieub.nanb stepped over and put a revolver shot through hia head, and ail was over. Just prior to shooting, Lieutenant Moranb addressed the firing party, bob what he said I could nob texaotiy catch, except something aboub C *p. aln Hunt's death. Morant also came over to me, and said, 'I know it's —«• hard lines for him, bob it's gob to ha done. See how the Boei a knocked Cap-, tain Hunt about.' I said, 'Captain Hunt died a soldier's death, aud waa killed in a fair go, and beyond being stripped there , wa* _.o maltreatment of him, and, anyhow, Kaffirs might have, stripped Mm. 1 He said, 'IS.o, Captain Hunt's tania aud trousers had been found ia a Cape cart.' " 4But,' I said, * the boy was nob wear ing them ' •* 'Ai.yhow, he said, ib has gob to be done, it is unfortunate he should be the i first to euffer,' ! , * I ttili held it was nob right to shoot I him after carrying him so far, but as up to thia time Morant and I had bean good friends, I said no more, bub tore off my B.V.C. badges and cursed such a form of soldiering. Then we B&ddled up and trekked for home. *'A sect on of as seemed bo feel thab our offl.ert., or the leading ones of them, were no i?<iod, that they did not wanb to catch Boers, bnc wile away time on inconsequent patrols, and keep clear of anything that waa likely to shoot back. This was the conclusion we came to, and subsequent events justified it. I went out wibh another patrol. On the way we met a waggon and eight Boers being brought in by our mcii. 1 will reverb to the eight •Boera some other time, as a tragedy took place next mornfng, of which I was ignorant at the time.

Taiti, who is in the employ of the Hutt County Council, relates his most remarkable case as follows : —" To Pro prietor Plantekoa. Sir, —I feel it my duty both to you and also suffering humanity I to make known the benefit 1 have derived from the use of Plantekoa. I have been under treatment for years for my kidneys, liver and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a floating kidney, and prescribed medicines and lotions for treatment, and in fact I have lodine and other things in the house now that was supplied to paint my back. In addition to the complaint mentioned I used to suffer ab times most excruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Beside the doctor's treatment I have tried almost countless Patent Medicines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say thau Plantbkqa has made a new man of me, has cured tho ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any further information will be gladly furnished if desired. I wish to say also that Plantekoa Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to me. About six years ago after playing in a football match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczama. Daring those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet count; the number of ointments and the like that I tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at my work, the smarting, itching and yet burning Irritation would nearly drive me crszy. I have used Plantekoa Ointment ' with result. I have not the slightest trace of the complaint left, and my skin Is as clear as that of a little child. While in a very heated condition I put on another I Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, II do not know if that had anything to do t with starting my complaint, but a singular j fact was that the Irritation commenced at I that time, and covered my body, arreis and meek, while my faca, legs and hands were . free. Suffice to say that whatever way ib came Plantekoa has cured it completely. Id will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the I condition I have been in life was not worth living. After my experience ; PL \NTEKOA stands without a biva,l.
