COMMENCEMENT OF TRIAL. OVER SEVENTY WITNESSES. [Press Association.] HOKITIKA, Sept. 21. In the Supremo Court to-day, F. Connolly was charged with perjury arising out of the AVcstport murder case in Afay last. Tho case is likely to last a week, there being about 70 witnesses, only three of whom were disposed of to-day. Anderson and Hallinen, formerly sailors on the s.s. Canopus, who were convicted at Nelson of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment, wore tho principal witnesses. They positively denied Connolly s statements on which they were convicted and on which the present charge of perjury was founded, j nev gave similar versions as to their movements on the night of the murder and generally corroborated each other’s evidence.
