TO-DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
CASE FOR CROWN CLOSES. . THE DEFENCE OPENED. (Bv Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Tuesday. The case for the prosecution ended to-day with the evidence of an analyist concerning the pills found in the dead woman’s bedroom on the day accused was arrested. The analyist said the pills were Nux Vomica- It would take twenty of the pills to give half a grain of strychnine, and twenty pills would have to be taken at one time to constitute a fatal dose. Mr Northcroft, counsel for the defence, opened his address at 11.20 a.m. He began by outlining' the history of accused. He asserted that the medical evidence of the Crown was in conflict, and he negatived the assertion by the Crown that the woman received a dose of strychnine during the whole week before her death.
