A black trotter taken by Capes and Williamson to the Criterion Hotel had been identified as the horse thai actually ran ;in the Introductory -Handicap- at Otahuhu under ; the name " All Smoke. ' • It came in second, and was entjUsd to a prize of £50, which, on account of suspicions, , was withheld. Williamson ; ; and Capes went ■ together to the boiling down works at. ! Panmure, and? left a black horse - there to be destroyed. Vf Parts of its hide were examined, and it was found that they belonged to .a brown horse which had' , been dyed black. ' Capes sent a horse ;to Tucker in Christchurch, but nothing was known about _ that horse. ;: '//;' yy " , In regard to the second charges (the Eulius case) they were against the same men as were accused in the All Smoke case, with another man,: W..
