FURTHER DETAILS. f AUSTRALIAN & N.Z, CARLE ASSOOIAT! IN LONDON, Nov. 4. To-day’s evidence in the Greenwood ! case was mainly that of experts, who were of opinion that death was due to arsenic, taken some hours before death., Mr Marshall Hall’s cross-examination j revealing the closest study of the posi- j tions in relation to the murder, aimed j at showing that arsenic was present in f minute quantities in many substances • commonly used. ' The experts stated that they found no traces of morphia when the body was exhumed ten months after death. There were heated passages between Mr Marshall Hall and the police Superintendent concerning the latter’s note book, containing Greenwood’s statement. Mr Marshall Hall suggested that leaves had been removed containing portions of tlie statement. The Superintendent retorted indignuntly that Mr Marshall Hall, by fingering the book carelessly, had-made it appear as if a leaf had been torn cut.
