ANOTHER ALLEGED POISONING CASE.
(PEE PKE33 ASSOCIATION.)
Auckland, June 21.
At the Police Court to-day Emil Berger remanded from last week, waa charged with having at Ardmore on the sth mat attempted to murder his wife.
Sub-Inspector Mitchell said that the police were ready to go on with the case with the exception of the evidence of Pond, colonial analyist, whose analysis was not yet completed. A further remand was therefore asked for.
The prisoner objected to the remand,
The Sub-Inspector in his reply to the Bench, said it was suggested that poison was alleged to have been administered. It required peculiar attention at the hands of the analyst.
His Worship ; What is the poison ? Sub-Inspector: Some preparation of aconite, I believe, but I do not know what.
His Worship ; I would like to know why the analyst, having had the sample since the 7th inst, is not ready. I think that the analysis ought to be completed by now. His Worship then explained to the prisoner that if he were discharged for want of evidence ho would probably be re-arrested at the door of tke Court.
The prisoner consequently withdrew his objection to the remand, and the case was further adjourned for a week.
