THE CONWAY CASE.
United P;es« Association—Per Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received 8.2 a.m., April 24th. SYDNEY, April 24.
The evidence at the trial of Mrs Smith was largely a repetition of that given at the inquest. Fanny McDonald, stewardess on the Talune, said that accused introduced her to Captain Robertson on the day prior to the arrival of the vessel in Sydney. Accused waited on board the ship till Captain Robertson returned in order to obtain his assistance to get a draft cashed. Accused was in bed at 8 o'clock on the night that the vessel left Wellington. Both accused and Miss Huddleston had plums at lunch on the 19th. Received 1.14 p.m., April 24th.
Detective McLean stated that accused admitted having given deceased plums. When he took accused to the morgue she was calm, but a little bit affected at the sight of the body. He had visited the pawnshops in search of deceased's effects. He knew Mrs Sams, in connection with Smith. He had found certain jewellery pawned in the name of Sams for £2 10s.
The case will probably conclude to-mor-row.
