MURDER WILL OUT
A BELATED TRIAL. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright London, May 8. The trial of Wm. Ward, who was arrested at Perth, West Australia, for the murder of Ernest Nixey Smith, dairy manager at Chiswick, in 1908, has begun. Ward informed a constable, on the voyage home, that deceased tried to arrest him and was struck by an umbrella in the struggle. Learning that deceased had been stabbed, he went to Canada and thence to Australia, where he hid in the bush. Marshall, a tailor, gave evidence that he heard Ward threaten to gouge Smith's eyes out. Another witness saw Ward follow Smith and strike him with an umbrella. There was no struggle. Ward was remanded.
