TIN HARE CHARGES
POLICE ASK FOR DOCUMENTS. REFUSAL BY MR STEVENS. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) Sydney, March 17. Detective Superintendent McKay interviewed Mr Stevens and asked him for the documents and declarations in connection with the recent mechanical hare exposures. Mr Stevens refused and subsequently made a statement that “if these documents are handed to the police they will be transmitted to the Ministers themselves, and I have no confidence that the Ministers will institute proceedings against themselves. I regard the action of the Premier in referring this matter to the police as a clumsy and brazen attempt to evade a judicial inquiry, which alone can have full powers for eliciting the truth.”
