IN LIMELIGHT AGAIN
BOTTOMLEY GIVES PUBLIC LECTURE London, October 11. Horatio Bottomley gave his first public lecture after his release from gaol. It attracted thousands to the Queen's Flail. Prolonged cheers greeted his reading of a letter from the foreman of the jury at his trial: “The cruel sentence came as a great surprise to me, and others of the jury. We did not expect anything like it. Our opinion was that you had no intention of defrauding anyone.” Bottomley continued that so much did people believe that he was done for that they began kicking his carcase about like a football, covering it with dirt. As a result there, is consternation in many offices, which are being bombarded with libel writs.
