FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS. A KNIFE FOUND.

It is stated that a sheath knife, sharp on both edges and with the point turned, has been picked up on the scene of the Kaiwarra murder, along with a shot pouch. Mr Jellicoe intimated that he would not call the other Ministers of the Crown. Chemis deposed that Benjamin came to his house on June Ist with a search warrant, looking for a pocket book stolen from Hawkins. Witness was searched and his clothes and hands were minutely inspected. Questioned as to whether he was wearing the same clothes as on the previous day, he replied-—" Yes, and for a week before." Witness related how the search was made by the police and said the gun was not out of the bedroom the day before. One of the drawers was locked and the key was handed by witness to Detective Campbell for him to search. Usually he kept the drawer locked to prevent the children from getting at the dynamite caps he kept there. Detective Benjamin took the papers such as bills, letters, etc., irom the drawer, but no newspapers. There were none there. The powder flask was alongside the shot pouch, and anybody could have seen it. WhenDetectiveCampbell found the stilletto he remarked : " There is some dust on it." The stilletto had not been out of the sheath for 6 months. Chemis was under examination when the Court adjourned for lunch. 1
