THE 'WELLINGTON SHOOTING CASE.
m i^j)— ■«—mm TPek. Press Association.! WELLINGTON, Feb. 8. Entwistle, charged with shooting at his wife, daughter and P. Morris, was before the Court again to-day. Further evidence was given for the defence bearing upon the accused’s behaviour and state of mind. Inspector Pender stated that Entwistle had been examined by two medical men immediately after he had been arrested, and he believed that their opinion was that Entwistle was then quite sane. He added that he would like to have the doctors’ evidence on the depositions. Mr Jellicoe objected to this, as the Inspector could not call evidence to rebut the defence. Mr Warded said that even if the evidence proved direct insanity on the part of the accused, the Bench’s duty was to send accused for trial. Accused was then formally committed. An application for bail was ordered to stand over.
