THE BINGARA TRAGEDY.
THE HUSBAND'S STATEMENT. tj OaWe—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, February 12. At the inquest on the body of Mrs. Ball, Ball, in his evidence, declared that he shot his wife after she had taken poison. He immediately placed the body in a wheelbarrow, where he burnt it in the hope of avoiding discovery. His only reason for shooting his wife was that she was in great pain, through drinking carbolic acid. He never quarrelled with his wife, and attributed her poisoning herself to the fact that she had been long suffering from rheumatism.
