HBH 1890 May 21 MALONEY Murder New Plymouth, Tuesday At the inquest last night after the telegraph office closed, Drs O'CARROLL and LEATHAM were re-examined as to the blood on MAHI'S shirt, but nothing fresh was elicited. On the inquest being resumed this morning Marion COOPER, a pupil at the high school, deposed to seeing a young Maori in the recreation grounds about 9 o'clock on Friday morning, the 11th of April. She could not tell how he was dressed. (At this portion of the evidence Mahi KAI was brought in dressed as he was when arrested). She could not say for certain if it was the same man she saw and could not be certain what clothes he had on....more Florence CROZIER-a child nine years old, who was not sworn, said she saw a young Maori with a straw hat about 1 o'clock on the Friday, 11th of April. This afternoon Otto ARNOLD deposed that the accused had no money, and had slept at the gasworks several nights. Before the murder was committed the accused had on an old pair of slippers, and was not wearing either drawers or waistcoat. The day the murder was committed the prisoner had a new pair of boots on, and had a melon, showing that he had got money somewhere. Major BREWS stated that after an interview with the prisoner he had stated that he was given the waistcoat by his parents at Parihaka, and that he had purchased the drawers from a settler named TOOGOOD near Petama for 2s. The boots he purchased at Opunake for 15s 4d. Francis RICHARDS, a boy about 14 years old, stated that he knew the prisoner. He had seen a person crossing Avenue road by the racecourse gate; he crossed the road and jumped over a gate on either side, and disappeared from sight. Although he was some distance away he was confident that it was not the prisoner.
