"Deliberate Untruths."
MANAGER'S EVIDENCE. CHRISTCHURCH EIRE INQUIRY. CORONER'S SEVERE COMMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association). CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 28. "I believe witness has told a few things that are true," declared the coroner, Mr. E. D. Mosley, in the course of a criticism as to the reliability of William Davidson's evidence at the hearing of the inquiry into the fire on the premises of Davidson and Co., Ltd. The coroner added that Davidson's evidence for over two days had been most unsatisfactory. He had been given ample opportunity to explain, but had shirked it, and had even deliberately told untruths. The inquiry entered its thirteenth day on Monday, when Davidson, who was manager of the firm at the time of the fire, began his fourth day in the witness-box.
