SHOOTING OF SKEFFINGTON
REPORT OF COMMITTEE. DECLARED TO HAVE SEEN! MURDER. United Pres? Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Renter. London, Oct. 18. The report of the Committee of Enquiry into the shooting of Skeffington says that apart'from insanity there is no excuse for the conduct of Captain Ooltlmrst. It animadverts on Coltlmrst’s failure to realise the elementary principle that the shooting of unarmed and unresisting civilians without trial is murder, whether martial law has been proclaimed or not.
