Entwistle waa charged to-day with shoot ing with intent at hia wife and daughter and Morris. The latter, who was the first witness, admitted having seduced the girl, who is 18, and the girl herself said she did not yet know whether she was enciente or not, but afterwards refused to answer any questions reflecting on her chastity. Mr Jellicoe intimated that the line adopted for the defence would be that Entwistle's mind waa unhinged by Morris' behaviour. Accused, hia family, and Morris at the time of the occurrence were living in the aame houae, the rent of which they were eup posed to share equally.
