MURDER CHARGE
INJURED WOMAN GIVES EVIDENCE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, May 11. Evidence was given to-day by Heizel Josephine Salmon, the principal witness in the trial of John Sidney Crawford, a seaman, aged 26. on a charge of murdering two United States Marines at 17 Terrace Gardens, Wellington, in the early hours of January 7. Miss Salmon, aged 20. is still a hospital patient, having received several wounds in the shooting in which the two men lost their lives. Her left arm was in a splint, and she had a dressing on her throat. She gave evidence seated in an armchair pn the floor of the Sum-erne Court, a nurse sitting at her side. Her whispered replies were highly magnified by the Court’s sound amplification system. The adjournment interrupted her evidence.
