FURTHER EVIDENCE HEARD (PRIS.S association Tti-ioiuy.) WELLINGTON, November 16. The hearing of the fraud charges against C. E. Vickers and E. M. Gilmour in connexion with activities relating to the Craftsman Manufacturing Company was continued to-day. A statement that the Railway Department never had negotiations with the Craftsman Company and that the company's train lamps had never been tried on the railways was made by Percy Roy Angus, locomotive superintendent of the New Zealand Railways. . . A Harbour Board electrician said he inspected the company's floodlight in 1930 and decided it was unsuitable. George Lauchlan, assistant-general manager of the Wellington Electricity Department, said he inspected Craftsman lights in 1930 but the council did not negotiate with the company for lights. Similar evidence was given by the assistant-mechanical engineer of the Tramways Department. The secretary to Wellington Speedways, Ltd., denied that his company had ever done business with the Craftsman Company. The case was adjourned till Monday.
