BROTHER HAS A FIT.

AFTER HEARING VERDICT. In the course of the afternoon the accused’s brother Charles, who had been a witness for the defence, was seized with a fit outside the Court. After the jury had given its verdiict he suffered another attack. He was carried from the vestibule into the open-air, where he recovered. It was reported in the city on Saturday morning that a constable who approached Charles Gunn as he came out of Court wa s “knocked out” by three men in the crowd, who it was alleged, resented the officer’s manner of addressing the officer’s grief-stricken brother. The police, however, definitely deny that any such incident occurred, and their statement is borne out by the fact that there was a Targe force of constables in attendance, and that, no sounds of any disturbance their way into Court.
