THE CONWAY CASE.
The bearing of the evidence for the prosecution in the case of Mrs Jane Smith, charged with the murder of P. Conway on board the steamer Talune, closed at Sydney on Thursday. The accused, in response to an inquiry by tbe Judge, made a statement. She commenced, in a firm voice: c Gentlemen of the Jury, X stand here truthfully and say I did buy poison for my friends in the
oantry. It is also true that I did not take any poison aboard the steamer Talune.’ At this point, for the first time since the accused appeared in public, her nerve gave way and she wept bitterly. Recovering slightly, but in broken accents, she added :
‘1 did not give Mr Conway anything to cause his death.’ She resumed her seat weeping. Evidence for the defence is now being heard.
