Abstract
Ba Nyunt, aged 29, son of U Ta, of Othegon village, Tharrawaddy district, was one of the nine men who were first accused with U Saw. He had had more school than U Saw himself, having passed his ‘Anglo-Vernacular High School Final’ examinations. He had worked as a clerk in the office of the Township Judge, Minhla, Tharrawaddy, and had early political associations and ambitions. When he was arrested, he volunteered to make a clean breast of it all, and was granted a conditional pardon and made ‘approver’ or the King’s witness.
