One of the chief Prosecution witnesses in the mines conspiracy case, Mr C. N. S. Burns, was recalled this morning to answer an allegation by one of the accused, Keay, Superin- tendent of Mines, that he was with the missing witness, Mr E. T. Tsao, at the end of last month.
Evidence that he saw Mr Burns with Tsao in Chatham Road on the morning of August 30 was given by Keay last week, but at the request of Judge Charles, this was not published until it was put to Mr Burns.
