[Press Association.]
WELLINGTON, Aug. 10
After a series of vicissitudes unprecedented in the history of criminal trials in New Zealand, the case against James Reynolds Hayne, a Dunedin chemist, charged with unlawfully using an instrument to procure abortion, came to a sudden end this morning. Gladys Batchelor was again placed in the witness-box, but would not reply to any questions. Mr P. C. Macassey, the Crown Prosecutor, then entered a nolle prosequi, .and Hayne left the dock.
