SOBBED CONVULSIVELY
ACCUSED RUSHES FROM COURT SEQUEL TO FAMILY ROW (Special to THE SUN) WANGANUI, Friday. During the hearing, in the Magistrate’s Court, yesterday, of a charge against him of breaking and entering his wife’s house, with intent to commit a crime, Frederick Searle, a labourer, broke down and rushed from the court, sobbing convulsively. THE offence was alleged to have taken place during the currency of a separation order. According to evidence, Searle, when under the influence of liquor, arrived at the house one evening and demanded admittance, which was refused by his son. He smashed the di»r with an axe and rushed into the hmise, saying, it was alleged, that he would knock his son’s brains out. The position was becoming dangerous, it was said, when the son hit his father on the head with a hammer. Searle, who was committed to the Supreme Court for trial, denied that he threatened to smash anyone, and said he only wanted to smash the piano.
