HORATIO BOTTOMLEY
RECEIVES £25,000 COMPENSATION FOR LOSS OF EDITORSHIP.. “A PLAUSIBLE ROGUE.” By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received June 1, 8.15 p.m.) LONDON, June 1. Horatio Bottomley i has received £25,000 as compensation from the proprietors for the determination of his editorship of “John Bull.” “Truth” states: “Bottomley’s sentence of seven yeans’ imprisonment rids Parliament, public life, and journalism of a disgrace ■which ought never to hare been tolerated. This plausible, clever, and cunning rogue duped all kinds and conditions of people. The country often has the use of dirty instruments in war-time. Bottomley’s services as a professional patriot might have been worth the handsome fees he received for such services, but the Government ought to have had the courage to intervene when they saw him, after the war, raking in hundreds of thousands by means of bond clubs on the palpable false pretence that the investors would enjoy the security of the State.”
