THE GRIERSON CASE.

EVIDENCE CONCLUDED. By Telegraph,—Press .Association. Wellington, Yesterday. Lieutenant Grierson was further cross-examined at the inquiry to-iay. He positively denied saying anything to anybody which would render him unfit to wear the King's uniform. He certainly had never questioned New Zealand's loyalty. All lie did say was that the wavings of flags would not beat, the Germans. He knew a man named Gayen who came to Focke's office and asked that his correspondence should be sent on. Gayen said he had come out to If am English and witness remarked to him that it was a long way to come. He visited Gayen at his lodgjngs and they had some conversation. On the last occasion, Gayen said, "I know what you are after," turned on his heel and walked off. Gayen apparently thought lie (witness) was too inquisitive. The Commissioner: - Where is he now? Witness: I assume, and. hope, he is on Somes Island. I inquired as to whether lie was there, about a month ago and was told by Colonel Gibbon that he was not sure. I could see by G oven's beating that he had had some military training. Evidence in the inquiry has concluded, and the Commissioner is considering his report.
