Justice Defeated
GLADYS, THE SILENT. NOTORIOUS HAYNE CHARGES. Per Press Association. Wellington, August 10. After a series of vicissitudes unprecedented in thb history of criminal trials in New Zealand, the case against James Reynolds Hayne, Dunedin, chemist, charged with unlawfully using an instrument to* procure abortion, came to a sudden end this morning. Gladys Batchelor was again placed in the witness box, but would not reply to any questions. Mr Macassey then entered a nolle prosequi, and Hayne left the dock. The Crown Prosecutor made a declaration that it seemed to him that the ends of justice were being defeated by a conspiracy of silence.
