THE NORTON SENSATION.

|UY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH —COPYRGTH.] (PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. Sydney, October 13. Morris, in his evidence, emphatically denied Moss' statement as to receiving money. A preliminary meeting was held in the town hall last night to raise funds to reimburse Mr Hayes for the expenses of defending the late criminal libel action. It was decided to issue subscription lists. GROHN'S DEATH. (Received October 16, 12.23 a.m.) Sydney, October 15. At the inquest on Grohn, a witness testified that Morris, owing to his being turned out of Norton's house, suggested to him he should conspire against Norton by stating he lulled Grohn. Norton, in his evidence, denied he struck Grohn. The latter came home drunk and fell down. Morris dragged him upstairs to bed. The Coroner stated the evidence of Morris was unreliable; it was that of an accessory after the fact. In the absence of more minute medical examination at the time of death, he did not think it possible to find the actual cause of death. The evidence was not sufficient to say how Grohn came by his death.
