HOSPITAL SISTER CHARGED WITH GIVING POISON
(P.A.) TAUMARUNUI, This Day. When the poisoning charge against Fay Roberta Phillips was resumed this morning, the first witness was mainly corroborative of yesterday’s evidence. Molly Clow, assistant cook at the Taumarunui Hospital, gave evidence that on January 9 witness was at 12.30 p.m. sitting on a stool in the kitchen facing the nurses’ dining room across the corridor and she saw Sister Phillips enter the dining room. Phillips went and stood at the sisters’ table at her usual seat. Witness could not see what Phillips was doing. Witness could only see the backs of the sisters’ chairs and could not see the whole of the table.
A. few seconds later, witness said, Phillins left the dining room. Witness could* not form an accurate idea of how long it was before the nurses came into the room. ‘ Witness sat in her position for about 10 minutes and was still there when the nurses and sisters were coming into the dining room. Witness could not give any information as to whether there was milk on the table when Sister Phillips was seen to enter and leave the dining room.
