YARRA MURDER.
) TRIAL OF NURSE. MELBOURNE, April 19. The trial of Nurse Hanna Mitchell, charged with committing the Yarra murder, has commenced. Great public interest in the trial was evidenced by a large, crowd waiting outside the court, a few only of whom were admitted. Besides being charged with the murder of Miss Coughlan, an unexpected second charge of murdering some per- 1 son unknown, was laid against Nurse Mitchell, who pleaded “Not Guilty” to both charges. In outlining the case. the Crown Prosecutor said it was not suggested that the accused bad murdered two wo men, but possibly the identity of the ! deceased as Bertha Coughlan would not be established. Evidence similar to that given in the Lower Court was then entered upon.
