Wellington Shooting Affray
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Wellington, September 28. The case was resumed to-day, when several new witnesses were produced. Walter Smith, diver, said Finley fired first at Greenrose, chen at McDonald, and then at Greenrose again, saying each time " one for you." Finley had been knocked down and Greenrose kicked at him, when he took the revolver from his pocket. Witness' attention was drawn to the discrepancy between his and other evidence, but stuck to his version. James Gibbs said Greenrose fell at the second shot, and Finley then had his revolver in hand. The latter snapped at Lynch, but succeeded next attempt, and it was at Lynch the third shot was fired. This witness gave a clear account of the shooting, from which it would appear only four shots in all were fired, not five. Evidence in the charges of murder preferred against Finley and Seel was continued this afternoon, but no new facts were elicited. At 4 o'clock an adjournment was made until Tuesday to enable the evidence of Detective Herbert, who is engaged in a case in Masterton, and that of the wounded man McDonald to be taken.
