THE LYELL MURDER CASE.
Nelson, This day,
At the Supreme Court the murder case is still proceeding. Mrs Gramatica was examined at great length yesterday. She stated that her evidence at the inquest on the body of Denis Quinlan was incorrect. She alleges that she feared to tell the whole facts, but claims to have made a clean breast of it now. She says that the prisoner Davidson stabbed Quinlan in the breast; that she bandaged the wound <'md went to bed in a state of intoxication, sleeping through all after occurrences. Next morning she saw a heap in the sitting-room covered with blankets, from which boots projected. On her asking the prisoner for Quinlan, he said he had taken his heart's blood. The witness added that she was forced to remain in her bedroom all next day, and that at night she heard Davidson drag Quinlan's body out of the house.
