The Petone Murder Case.
(by telegraph.) Wellington, January 16. The principal witness against Bosher this morning was Wm, Jones, residing at Taita. Bosher went to bi3 place the morning after the murder, and when questioned by witness about whether there were any footprints, got so agitated that he trembled violently, and Mrs Jones had to make him a cup of tea. He was too upset to drink more than half. Accused showed him his coat pocket, which was torn, saying that he tore it while getting into a cart that morning. Bosher's left hand, from the wrist to the knuckle, was streaked with blood, and there was a piece torn clean out of his right hand on the second or third finger. In cross-examina-tion, witness said that he did not know what to think when Shore was areested, and limped half-way to Petone on his stick to see Bosher and ask him if he had anything to do with it, before he communicated with the police. The case was then adjourned to the 2oth, owing to the pressure of other business.
