HAD A BLUDGEON
Dunedin Demonstrator PRISON FOR A MONTH By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, April 15. % Walter Finlay Dore was charged today with being a rogue and vagabond in that he was found armed with a blundgeon with felonious intent. The police said that accused was taking part in some unemployed processions and was seen by detectives to have something protruding under his coat. On being intercepted he was found with a stout wooden stick in his possession. There had been considerable agitation among those inciting the unemployed to resist police action, and evidently that was the reason why Dore carried the stick, a rather formidable baton. He did not use the stick, but some of the unemployed were known to be carrying weapons to resist arrest. The magistrate imposed a month’s imprisonment. Arthur Waters, aged 28, a New Zealander, charged with inciting lawlessness. was remanded in custody till next Wednesday. The police, in opposing hail, said that the accused took part in an unemployed demonstration on Apjril 11.
