SEEKING A WITNESS.
TRESPASS ON RACECOURSE. MOGHAN MURDER ECHO. [BY TELEGRAPH. OWN CORRESPONDENT } HAMILTON. Monday. Deemed an excluded person under the rules of the Racing Conference, George Cooper Jackson, who already has been twice previously fined for a similar offence, was charged to-day before Mr. H. A. Young, S.M., with trespassing at the Te Ivuiti races, The facts of the case, explained Mr. Strang, were rather unusual, arising as they did out of the recent Moghan murder trial. Accused was the uncle of Mrs., Gemmell, wife of the man done to death by Moghan. Mrs. Gemmell had issued a writ for £3000 damages against Moghan in connection with the matter, but in connection with this claim it was necessary to obtain the evidence of a man named Christian. Jackson learnt through his solicitors in Auckland that Christian was likely to be at the Te Kuiti races, and accordingly left for the meeting in company with his wife and Mrs. Gemmell. As soon as Jackson entered the gates, however, he was stopped by the detective, and ordered off. Accused was fined £2, and costs 7s.
