THE WINTON MURDER CASES.

(By Telegraph.) IN\ERCARGILL, June 7. When the charge of the murder of Dorothy Edith Carter against the Deans was resumed this morning, the Crown Prosecutor stated that he proposed entering on a new line of evidence, with the object of showing that on the 3rd of May Mrs Dean had auother infant entrusted to her,' which she had also murdered. In tendering this evidence he relied on a judgment of the Privy Council m the Makin infanticide case, wherein it was held that at the hearing of the indictment for the murder of one infant, evidence could be adduced of the finding of other bodies m accused's garden. His object was to show that the death of Dorotliy Edith was not the resultof accident but design. Mr Hanlon, for accused, objected, intimating that he would carry the objecI tion to the Supreme Court, but the Magistrate, Mr Poynton, admitted the evidence. Nothing new came out m the enquiiy. The evidence is, however, a little closer than that given at the inquest. The court is sitting late to-night to endeavour to get through with the cases, as the Supreme Court sittings commence on Tuesday.
