NAIROBI MURDER TRIÁL

THE CHINA MAIL, JUNE 25, 1941,

Army Ballistics Expert Argues Against Police

THE QUESTION WHETHER the bullets found by the police at the form where Sir Delves Broughton practised with a revolver, and the bullets fired at Lord Erroll were from the same or different weapons, was discussed at the resumption of the trial of Broughton in Nairobi on a charge of murdering Lord Erroll.

Captain Thomas William Overton, Army small arms expert, was called for the defence who previously expressed the conviction that the bullets were from different weapons, not, as Government witnesses had stated, from the same weapon.

Replying to the judge, Capt. Overton said he would not swear that there were no "true charac-

crime which were not on bullets found at the farm,

ters" on the bullets used in - Evenings: 30c., 40c., 60c., 70c. Matinees: 30c., 40c.

The Moscow paper recalls the the German attempt to seize Ukraine in 1918 and that they were defeated with enormous losses despite the fact that the Russians were then "exhausted by the Imperialist war, poorly armed and supplied."

"Since then, our forces have grown immeasurably. We possess a powerful, splendidly armed and supplied Red Army and Navy capable of dealing crushing blows to the enemy."Reuter.
