HENLEY MURDER
ACCUSED MAN COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, June 15.
The preliminary hearing of the charge of murder against Eric Sandagger Parks, aged 28, which was commenced on Monday, was concluded in the Magistrate’s Court today when the evidence of 10 further - witnesses was taken. The charge arose out of a tragedy which occurred at the farm of Alexander Smith, near Henley, on the night of April 14, when a married woman named Frances Amelia Lee, who was employed by Smith as a housekeeper, was found dead in bed with a wound on her head, inflicted apparently with a sledge-hammer which was found later.
Accused pleaded not guilty, and, reserving his defence was committed to the Supreme Court for trial, the magistrate (Mr J. R. Bartholomew) intima? ting that he would reserve his finding in the inquest until after the Supreme Court proceedings.
