The proceedings concluded this morning in connection with the preliminary charges against Arthur WSlliam Page for the alleged murder of Mrs. Gladys M. Hutchinson at Pipiroa on February 7.

At the inquest in connection with the death of the deceased woman, the verdict returned by Mr. J. H. Salmon, S.M., the coroner, was that Mrs. Hutchison met her death, in accordance with the medical evidence, as a result of gunshot wounds inflicted by Page earlier in the day.
