TROTTING SENSATION

“RINGING-IN” ALLEGED CASES BEFORE SUPREME COURT (BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Christchurch, May 12. Addressing the grand jury at the operiuig of the Supreme Court Criminal Sessions to-day, Mr. Justice Adams referred to the casts connected with the Look-out, Eulius, and All Smoko charges of ringing-in and conspiracy. Ho said that in regard to tho AU Smoke case if certain evidence was true AU Smoko was not in the box when tho horse was handed over to , tnan at Fairlie. At Otahuhu a black trotter was taken by Capes and 4v iJliamson to the Criterion Hotel, and it had heen identified as the horse that actually ran in the Introductory Handicap at Otahuhu under the name of All Smoke. It camo in second, and was entitled to a prize of £5O, which, on account of suspicions, was withheld. Williamson and Capes went together to the boiling down works at Panmure and loft a black horse there to be destroyed. Payts of its hide ■were examined, and it was found that they belonged to a brown horse which had been dved black. Capes sent' a horse to Tucker in Christchurch, butnothing was known about that horse. In regard to the second charges, the Eulius case. His Honour eaid that they were against the same men as were accused in the All Smoke case, with another man. 4V. P Capes. In that case it was alleged that the four accused nominated Eulius for a race and subst’tutcd Willie Lincoln for it. If the evidence in the third case was correct, the accused had been ringing the changes on tbeii own names and on the names of horses. Tho hearing of the cases will be started to-morrow.
