Meanwhile, I succeeded in enlisting the services of Advocate Gardiner and Attorney Auret, Graaff Reinet, and made such arrangements that my witnesses could be present at the trial. Advocate Gardiner arrived on the evening of the 6th of March. The following day the court-martial commenced.
As he turned his head I recognised him. It was Captain Auret, of the 7th, a young Basque with whom I had drunk many a glass during the winter. He was deadly white, poor wretch, but he held himself manfully amid the assassins who surrounded him.
J.G. Auret, A. Bailey, and M. Langermann were chosen as the Committee's deputation to proceed to Pretoria and meet the Commission appointed by the Government. They left at an early hour on Wednesday morning, and were given practically a free hand to act on behalf of the Reform Committee.
The following is the list of those who were committed for trial: Lionel Phillips Colonel F.W. Rhodes George Farrar J.H. Hammond J.P. FitzPatrick S.W. Jameson G. Richards J.L. Williams G. Sandilands F. Spencer R.A. Bettington J.G. Auret E.P. Solomon J.W. Leonard W.H.S. Bell W.E. Hudson D.F. Gilfillan C.H. Mullins E.O. Hutchinson W. van Hulsteyn A. Woolls-Sampson H.C. Hull Alf.
I yelled, and I kicked at my door, but again I heard him shout and then everything was silent. A minute later there was a heavy splash, and I knew that no human eye would ever see Auret again. He had gone as a hundred others had gone whose names were missing from the roll-calls of their regiments during that winter in Venice.
