Explanation. Mr. Patmore aald. would be made to account for the bloodstains that bad been found on accused's clothing which were later covered with sand or mud. At the opening of yesterday afternoon session His Lordship stated that he would meet with defence counsels request that witness, John Sankey. be allowed to tell the court what be (witness) had said to accused on the morning of hi violent nose bleed. John Sankey. was then recalled to the stand and he stated that he told Joe that It was a very good thing his no was bleeding. (iOOD WITXK"! Margaret Sankey. on entering the witness box. was apparently struck dumb for the first tew seconds but. on getting Into her stride, proved to be an intelligent and clear witness. The evidence she gsv in her examination by the crown prosecutor, A. M. Johnson. K.C.. was unshaken by L. W. Patmore's cross-examination and she turned out to be one of the best It not the best of the crown witnesses. Witness came from Port Simpson In April with her father to live at Port Es- sington. Her evidence of the movements and dress on the day ot May 23 ot accused, who lived in the same house at Port Essington, was largely ccrrabora-tlve of that which had been given ear lier in the day by her father. John Sankey. She had been present at the dance the night previous which accused had also attended. When she got home about 1 o'clock. Joe waa in bed. About a week before May 24, witness said, she had pressed the trousers of accused' blue suit. After a bit ot clever questioning by Mr. Johnson, witness fi nally stated that she had not noticed anything out of the ordinary with the trousers at that time. She did not remember having mended accused's clothes at any time but had noticed, when she was pressing the pants, that there waa a little patch on one leg. ii)i:.Tiru:i the pants Under crces-txamlnatlon, witness Identified the trousers, an examination ot which dtsclosed that there was one tear below the knee which had been mended with thread and another place further up where a patch had been put tn. She did not remember whether or not accused had his vest at Port Essington. A vest had been found In the Port Simpson home to which they returned in October. A faded lavender shirt whlfh was produced lu court was ldsntlfled by wit-lima a accused's. It was hi only good shirt and the supposed It wa the one he had worn at the dance on May 23. On Sunday afternoon, ahe said, he had on a clean khaki ahlrt. Re-examined by Mr. Johnson witness stated that she thought h had washed the lavender ahlrt the Monday previous to May 23.
