It was also muoh more I difficult to get him do anything tft meetings. Cross-examined by Mr Wilford, witness said Bosher told,lnk |b»t the polioe had him under suspicion for the murder, and it seemed to alter his whole life. Bosher's name had been on the roll as a soldier of the Army, but they had taken his name off the roll. It was no longer there. They had good and' sufficient reasons for taking his name off, and he was no longer a soldier of the Army. Constable Oox, stationed at Petone, deposed that the print on the scullery door corresponded with a boot found in Bosher's -house.
