PUKEKAWA MURDER
TK- CHIMB ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.• AUCKLAND Nov. 10. The Pukekawa case was continued at the Supreme Court this morning. Mrs Eyre, in answer to Mr Singer (Counsel for accused Thorn) said within a few hours of the shot being fired, I believed it was Thorn. I believed it was Thorn by the time the oolicie came. She thought Thom was the only one who would have committed the murder. At first she thought Thorn was a decent fellow but after a certain relationship began between them she had nothing but contempt for him. That was due lately to liis familiarity towards her and partly by his threats., She denied, she ever asked Thora if he could get a divorce or whetmr if he could get rid of his wife, he would marry her in the event of anything happening to her husband.
