AIR FORCE COURT-MARTIAL
ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO INJURE OFFICER. (P.A.) Christchurch. Feb. 17. An allegation that accused had made a device consisting of safty razor blades woven into pieces of rope which would be fastened to the door of his hut, and would injure anyone trying to open the door, was made at a court-martial at an Air Force station this morning. Accused was L.A/C. Thomas Bradshaw, charged with conduct to the prejudice of good order and Air Force discipline. He pleaded not guilty. The prosecutor said that Bradshaw, with another aircraftman, was in his hut, and during a conversation disclosed that he made the device referred to with the object of "getting even," as he put it, with the adjutant of the station. Accused’s idea, said the prosecutor, was to affix the device to the door of the hut and if the adjutant did come and investigate the hut, as he had previously done, it was possible that the adjutant would have suffered injury. The Court’s findings will be referred to the Air Department.
