KIDWELLY MURDER TRIAL.

INTEREST UNABATED. | I (By Cable—Press Association—Copyright.) *j (Australian and JJ.Z. Cnblo Association.) LONDON, November 8.

At the trial of Greenwood, charged with the murder of his wife at Kidwelly, tho Judge is summing up. The verdict will be given to-morrow.

To-day was given up to the addresses by counsel. Interest in the case is unabated, and betting on the result is widespread. In the North of England books are being compiled with professional thoroughness, and in the mining districts even women are "laying the odds." Sir E. Marshall Hall, in a three and a half hours' brilliant speech, for the accused, emphasised the doctors' doubtg regarding the cause of death. Two doctors of high reputation, he Baid, had given evidence that Mrs Greenwood died from the effects of morphia, not arsenic. The defence was justified in suggesting that Dr. Griffiths made an unfortunate mistake, and gave a dose of Fowler's Solution at 8 o'clock, which accounted for the presence of arsenic, and completed the disaster by administering a whole grain of morphia later instead of half a grain. _ The Crown had not proved any motive for tho murder. During the closing passages of the speech Greenwood was overcome, and warders assisted him from the dock.
