Uganda Journal - Vol 22 - The Suspension of the Ankole Agreement in 1905 by J.M. Gray - Referring to the murder of Mr H. St. G. Galt in 'The History of Western Uganda' (Uganda J. 21 (1957), 141), Dr K. Ingham says "This evil deed was the work of certain chiefs who superstitiously attributed the difficulties which Ankole was undergoing to British intervention. The chiefs were banished and a communal fine was paid by the people of Ankole." In actual fact the two chiefs were convicted in the High Court of Uganda of abetment of Mr Galt's murder by one Lutaraka, who subsequently committed suicide. That conviction was set aside by the Eastern Africa Court of Appeal on the ground that the evidence against the accused was "made up of contradictions and inconsistencies incapable of reconciliation". That acquittal must in the circumstances stand for all time ……….. The greatest tragedy of all was that Galt, who was a capable administrative officer with a promising career before him, was respected and extremely popular amongst the majority of the people in the Western Province.

Despite an exhaustive enquiry at the time, the true motive for the murder remained a mystery.
