RINGING-IN CHARGE
CASE IN CHRISTCHURCH SUPREME COURT CHARGE TO GRAND JURY Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Today. In his charge to the Grand Jury at the Supreme Court criminal sessions, Mr. Justice Adams said that three men were indicted for alleged conspiracy in connection with what was commonly known as “ringing-in” a horse on the racecourse at Invercargill, Gore, Ashburton and other places. Two of the men had made a statement, and there was no doubt that they were actively concerned in some way with the horse. The third man, Thomas James Dowlej*, was in a different position. Conspiracy which was indictable was a conspiracy to commit a crime. The Crown said that three men conspired by making false statements that the 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 the races. Bowler did not seem to have had anything to do with the conspiracy. (Proceeding.)
