« SIE ROBERT STOUT'S CHARGE TO GRAND JURY. (FHSSS ASSOCIATION" TELEGRAM.) AUCKLAND, November S. Tho Chief Justice, in his charge to tlie Grand Jury at the opening of the j Supreme Court, said, with reference to the Pukckatva murder, that the evidenco would show that Eyro did not commit suicide, but was shot by a lefthanded man. The accused man, Thorn, it anpeared had been carrying on with Mrs' Eyre, and ho had not denied her statement to that effect. According to the evidence, he evidently had an -attachment for Mrs Eyre. His Honour read the evidence of the alleged statements by Thorn, which, he said, upheld that Thorn knew who committed tho murder. Yet he (Thorn) did not choose to give- an explanation why ho made those utterances. He might do so when he came before tho jury.
