RUAWARO CASE
IDENTIFICATION OF SHELL
Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 25.
Giving evidence at the trial of William Alfred Bayly, a farmer, of Ruawaro, on a double murder charge, Constable J. Richardson, of Auckland, said that on October 19 lie was with Constable Elms when a tarnished pearifle shell was found. He identified the shell produced. The web inside was different as compared with its present appearance, declared witness; it was whiter.
Cross-examined by Mr Northcroft, the constable said the shell was brighter when he first saw it. “If there were another shell would you be prepared to say this _is the same shell?” asked counsel, “You say it is a different colour now.” Witness said it was similar to the shell he saw.
(Proceeding.)
