(Per Anglo-Australian Telegraph Press Agency,) © ■ _ . Auckland, Thursday, 6 p.m. The Paliiri murder case occuped the Supreme Court all day, and is not concluded. The evidence chiefly related to the prisoner formerly ill-using deceased. George Watson, who helped Dyer to carry deceased from the creek to the house, said that she told him the occurrence was accidental. George Sharp testified that he saw prisoner and Watson taking something out of the creek to the house. He thought at first it was a pig. He went to the house and found deceased sitting on the floor with her hair burned off, and the skin of her face, arms, and neck hanging in shreds. The prisoner was pacing the room smoking his pipe. Witness dressed deceased's injuries. The evidence tended to show that tlie kerosene poured over deceased did not come from off the shelf where it could Invo been knocked over, but had been taken out of the can behind the door.
