NEWLANDS MURDER TRIAL.
NEARING THE END. If is anticipated that the case will end this afternoon, after a trial oi eight days. The Crown Prosecutor (Mr P. S. Maeassey) concluded his address yesterday, after Daniel Richard Cooper and Martha Elizabeth Cooper, the two accused of the murder of an infant at Newlands in October of last year, had intimated through their counsel that they would not call any witnesses. Mr Maeassey’s address occupied about three-quarters of an hour. Mr C. A. L. Treadwell, for the male accused, traversed much ground in tlie course of his appeal for the prisoner, 1 lie address taking almost two and a-half hours to deliver. Mr Wilford commenced his speech when ihe Court resumed this morning, after which His Honour will sum up, and the jury will then retire to consider their verdict.
••Which man were you, the one under the bed or the one behind the curtain f” asked counsel of a witness called at Palmerston North to give evidence in divorce proceedings the particular incident in question being a visit by a police oflicer to a co-respondent s house during tile absence of his wife. “I was in the wardrobe,” was the illuminating answer.
