R.A.Stone managed to show disloyalty (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treason

'disloyalty' is the definition.
(I know that treason is a type of disloyalty)

'r a stone managed' is the wordplay.
'managed' indicates an anagram.
'r'+'a'+'stone'='rastone'
'rastone' with letters rearranged gives 'TREASON'.

'to show' is the link.

(Other definitions for treason that I've seen before include "Deliberate act of betrayal" , "attempting to overthrow the king" , "One's art? (anag)" , "Betrayal of one's nation" , "Betrayal (of one's country)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
