The Ka of Gifford Hillary
“Group Captain Kenworthy led him to the Provost Marshal’s department, where the formality of taking down particulars was gone through; then into another room where there were two Security Officers. After inviting Johnny to sit down and giving him a cigarette the Group Captain told him that it would help matters considerably if he were willing to answer a few more questions about me, as that might give them a new line of investigation and enable them to clear him of the accusation that had been m...ade against himself.
No doubt the suggestion was made in perfectly good faith; but, fearing that he might be led to make statements which would later prejudice his own case, Johnny very wisely replied that, in view of the gravity of the charge, he was not prepared to discuss the matter further until he had consulted a solicitor.
