A SILENT PRISONER.
THE GLADyS BATOHELOR CASE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. In the Supreme Court, Gladys Batchelor was charged with counselling or piV enring James Reynolds Hayne to commit a crime; also with conspiring; and further with permitting.
The Crown Prosecutor said this girl had refused to give evidence, and in that refusal she was technically right, since by giving evidence against others she would be incriminating herself. It was in order that her mouth might be opened and that she might be made to speak as to what had happened, that she was now prosecuted. The jury returned a verdict ou tha third count only.
The Judge sentenced the accused to imprisonment till the rising of the Court, which rose five seconds afterwards.
