THE DUNCAN-JOHNSTON INCIDENT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—'* All Black" says he hopes you will insert his letter in the interest of football and fair play. I hope you will insert mine in the interests of truth. Whelan told me that he was willing to give evidence to the effect that Pa+on had the ball when tackled by me. Any way, Paton had the ball, whether he admits it or not. I leave it to all footballers who know me to say whether I would deliberately attempt to mislead the Committee in this way. Now, the only “ All Blacks ” present on the ground were Duncan and myself. Duncan may have written the letter, but I should say not, and so there is no more truth in the wiiter’s signature than there is in his letter.—l am, etc., W. Johnston. August 3.
