New Kitchen Proposed. “Compared with the price of chimneys, I suppose an expenditure of £4OOO can be regarded lightly,” observed Mr A. Forsberg, in moving at today’s meeting of the Wairarapa Hospital Board that a new kitchen be built at Masterton hospital. The motion was carried. The Mareo Case. Arguments for the view that Eric Mareo was wrongly convicted at Auckland in 1936 of murdering his wife, Thelma Mareo, by administering veronal to her, are set out by Mr F. W. Doidge, M.P. for Tauranga, in a letter which he has addressed to the Minister of Justice, Mr Mason. Copies are being sent to all members of Parliament. Mr Doidge states he has read the whole of the notes of evidence at Mareo’s trials, together with the notes made by Mareo himself, and the subsequent reports of the late Sir William Wilcox, the eminent toxicologist, and of Mr E. G. Hemmerde, K.C., Recorder of Liverpool. After quoting Sir William’s considered opinion that Mrs Mareo’s death was due to .veronal selfadministered, Mr Doidge contends that there is not a scrap of positive evidence to show .that Mareo murdered his wife.
