CHARGE OF MURDER ON CALENDAR
SUPREME COURT SESSIONS IN AUCKLAND (United Press Association) i AUCKLAND, May 3. “There is one satisfactory feature about the calendar,” said Mr Justice. Fair in his charge to the Grand Jury today when opening the Supreme Court criminal session. “That feature is that apart from a charge of murder there are only two charges which involve violence and one of these apparently arose out of a party at which there was a good deal of drinking. The calendar, apart from the charge of murder, is very much of the usual type.” The jury found true Bills against Henry Ernest Whitcombe, alleged carnal knowledge, Gerald Joyce Bohee Knox, alleged theft, Alfred George Clegg, alleged assault with intent, Charles Johnson, alleged indecent assault, William Keogh and Ernest George Caffery, alleged assault and causing actual bodily harm; and George Herbert Forde, alleged indecent assault.
