THE TIMARU POISONING CASES.
ALLEGED MURDER. '■<■','„ A telegram from its Wellington co-res-pondent appears in the Lyttlelton Times of yesterday to the effect that the 'Hoda John Ballance had said antimony in largei quantities had been discovered in (the 1 remains of the late Captain Cain. There, can be no doubt now as to the correctness of this statement, and the object of treating it as a secret was that it might not' prejudice the minds of the jury wi,th' re-n gard to the cases now before the (Court. If this course had been adopted it would probably have been the wisest and most proper one, but" the cat has been let out of the bag," and now the fact is positively knowo. The next thing people will want to know in reference to the matter'is what will be done with regard to it. There can be very little doubt on ithis point. As soon as the present cases; are over Hall and Houston will be brought' up charged with having murdered j the late Captain Cain. The evidence with regard to Captain Cain will not be submitted to the Supreme Court at present, so far as we can ascertain, and unless we are misled by information to hand] the course suggested is the one that will be followed.
