| Description : |
Newspaper article reporting on the trial of two Aboriginal men, Numberlin and Nangee, arrested on a charge of murdering their tribesman, Kai-Umen, in Central Australia. The article also reports on the shooting of an escaped Aborignal prisoner, Yokununna, by the arresting officer, Mounted-Constable William McKinnon of the Northern Territory police. These events and the subsequent trial of the accused Aboriginal men led to the 1935 'Commonwealth Board of Enquiry into the alleged ill-treatment of Aborigines near Ayers Rock', on which Charles Mountford acted as secretary. |
