ARMSTRONG POISONING CASE.
A COUNT REJECTED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 4, 8.30 p.m. London, April 3. The Armstrong trial has commenced. Mr- Justice Darling pointed out that the evidence connecting Armstrong with sending poisoned chocolates was very slight. The grand jury accordingly rejected this count.
The prosecution is calling 36 witnesses, and the defence 12.
There are indications that the defence will suggest that Mrs. Armstrong committed suicide. They will not deny that death was due to arsenic, but will contend that Armstrong was not responsible.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
