THE BAYLY CASE

3.45 P.M. EDITION

EVIDENCE OE CONVERSATION. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 24. On the resumption of the Baylv trial after the luncheon adjournment the witness Stent was still in the box. He described the discussion over the fence at the Lakeys’ house. Lakey said to witness, “Keep out of this, it is going to be more serious than you think.” Bayly told Lakey he was going to cut a fence so he could get out on to the main road. This discussion took place during Christmas, 1932, and lasted 10 minutes. Witness left with Bayly, who said Lakey would not see another season out. When helping Bayly to dock lambs witness said, “You are not too friendly with the people on the hill.” Accused said he would like to get them out. Bayly also said that if Lakey came over he would shoot him. Witness said: “Don’t talk like that; you have a wife and children to think of.” Bayly removed the cream stand at Lakey’s gate. When witness was working for him accused said he was not going to let those miserable —’s have it. Lakey had a large watch, while Bayly had a small pocket watch. (Proceeding.)
