SUPREME COURT
CONSPIRACY CHARGE.’
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, August 20. - Jll his charge to the Grand Jury at the Supreme Court criminal sessions, Judge Adams said three men were indieted 'for an alleged conspiracy in. connection with what was commonly known as “ ringing in ” a horse on racecourses at Invercargill, Gore, Ash-burton,-and other places. Two of the men had made a statement. There was no doubt that they were actively concerned in some way with the. .horse. The third party, Thomas .Tames Dowler, was in a different position. Conspiracy, which was indictable, was conspiracy to commit a crime. The Crown said that three men conspired by making false statements that a horse entered as Imperial Thorpe, was Imperial Thorpe, and not another horse named Bruce, and that they conspired in order to obtain money won in races. Dowler did not seem to have had anything to do with the conspiracy.
