SYDNEY'S SENSATION.
■Did Balkie Poison Brown?
Further Evidence.
Sydney, May 25
The hearing of the case against Jane Baikie, charged with the murder of Brown, a well-to-do wharf labourer, was continued. A nurse in the hospital stated that Baikie asked Brown if anything happened would he give her his belongings. Brown answered “ Yes,” Baikie brought deceased some cake and fruit. The detective who arrested the woman said that Baikie made a statement to him, and it is alleged that Brown made a will, leaving her everything. Baikie told him she had bought some strychnine, to poison cats, but Brown told her it was dangerous to have about the house. He threw it in the fire. She admitted the pawning of Brown’s rings.
