After Sub-Inspector Lano had and had been given evidence lengthily.cross-examined by Mr. Leask as to many of the details regarding the locality of the house and the marks on the body when exhumed, the defence was opened.

The Defence.

Mr. Leask suggested that the Crown had not proved a case against the defendant at all. He admitted that there was a number of points that went against the de- fendant, but he could not see any- thing which the Crown had brought out which would show that the defendant was the direct cause of his wife's death,

Mr. Lindsell pointed out that the meal in the stomach showed that death was sudden, to which Mr. Leask replied that he was pre- pared to admit that death sudden, but how could the defen- dant be said to have caused sud- den death to his wife? He sub- mitted that no jury would convict a man on the evidence which Mr. Whyte Smith had laid before his Worship, and he naked that the prisoner be discharged.
