THE OTAGO SHOOTING CASE.

Ex-Sergeant Eyan accused of Shooting Detective Parrell.

Extraordinary Revelations at the Trial.

The sensation novelist would find abundance of material from which to construct a highly spiced tale in a criminal trial which recently took place in the Supreme Court at Dunedin. Lawless love, conjugal infidelity, plots and counterplots, arising from a concealed liaison, and finally an attempted murder, have formed the chief features of this case, in which Thomas Eyan, an ex-sergeant of police, was charged with the attempt, to shoot James Farrell, a detective officer. The case appears to have excited the most intense interest, which was sustained throughout a three days' trial, resulting in the non-agree ment and discharge of the jury, the empanne'ling of a new jury, and the ■ acquittal and- discharge of the prisoner • Kyan. Its history may be very briefly told. On Saturday evening, . 4th of Januaryi shortly after eleven o'clock, Farrell was proceeding to his home, which is aituated in a right -of - way off Moray " Place,, Dunedin. Soon he became sus picious?- that he was dogged, and as he got info the quieter streets, the person following overtook him. Just as Farrell stepped from the kerbivg, and while in the act of turning to the left, this person fired a revolver at him. The very fact of his turn ing caused the shot to miss, though so close was the assailant that his hand touched, Farrell's face and the smoke of the pistol entered his mouth. It was a dark night, but either from the light shed by a lamp in the vicinity or from the flash of the pistol, Farrell1 swears positively that he recognised his assailant to be Ryan, and impulsively cried out " My G-od, Ryan, are you going to murder me ?" There is a certain incon f'dity about the evidence at this point, as arrell, instead of closing with the man when face to face, alleges that he allowed him to draw back' two or three paces and take aim again. . Farrell, however, as he states, then threw a loaded stick at his assailant and the second shot missed. Farrell then fled, got into a right-of-way, was fired at a third time without effect, ,but the fourtn shot struck him in the back, and he fell. On Farrell falling his assailant at once made off, and is assumed to have gone to the Water of Leith Hotel. At all events Hyan, the accused, turned up there later in the evening. Here again the evidence is con flicting as to time. The testimony of Far rell, backed by that of some persona who heard the shots fired, fixes the time of the deed at a quarter-past eleven, and evidence ■was given that Ryan had been seen in Princes street at five minutes past eleven. Yet against this is the testimony of two witnesses that Ryan was in the Water of Leith Hoteij—a considerable distance from Moray Place—at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock on the night in question —five minutes after the time at which it is alleged the shots were fired. All that can positively be said is that Farrel swears positively to Kyan as the man who assailed him, that the balance of testimony shows that he was near the place shortly before the time of the occurrence, and that by a rapid flight afterwards he might have had time to reach the hotel where he was seen later. Meantime Farrell, shot through the back; crawled to his house, but ultimatly recovered, from his wound to give testimony againtt'his assumed assailant. So far the case seems commonplace enough, but~when the motives which prompted the deed are sought for it becomes full of an interst almost dramatic. Farrell was married to a young and hands^be woman, much his junior. It was evidently an ill-assorted union, because the wife! viewed i the husband with an in difference almost amounting to dislike. Ryanj as a fellow-officer in the force, visited Farrell's house on terms of friendship, and an illicit attachment sprang up between him and the young wife. Evidently this was a woman of strong passions and deep affections, miser ably misdirected as both were, and from her numerous letters to Ryan, discovered in his box after his arrest, it is clear that she poured forth the whole wealth of her love upen this man—that she worshipped him with a kind of idolatry, and that she schemed and plotted with all the sharpness of a woman's wit to secure opportunities for their frequent meetings. That she schemed, sue-. cessfully is proved by the fact that the liaison was carried on undiscovered for several years. But at length the suspicions of the husband were excited, and he watched the guilty pair with all the cunning and pertinacity of his craft. ■ Nor had he long to wait before he discovered them together in a hotel under circumstances which, if not proving positive guilt, at least warranted the strongest suspicions. He then warned Ryan never to come near his wife again, but still watching caught him at his house once more, and threatened him with a revolver. Then Eyan removed from Dune din to the country, but correspondence with Mrs Farrell was still kept up by letter. The husband with his detective instinct suspected this, "sent a forged telegram in his wife's name to her lover, elicited a letter in reply, and intercepted it at the Post Office himself, thus adding another discovery to those already made., Ryan then once more comes back to Dunedin,. and the denouement .approaches. Watched by a suspicious husbandfthe guilty wtimah and her paramour are driven to their wit's'end to contrive a meeting. It is evident, indeed, from Mrs Farrell's letters that f '|ia prepared to dare anything if she ' .ibut possess,her lover, and it is equally ' ant that though the passion on the other side-may not have been so strong, yet it was strong Enough to make Kyan incur consider n able risk for its gratification. And with him there might have been even baser motives than love for the woman io prompt Farrell's removal. Farrell was possessed of consider able means, was entitled to £300 as a reward from the' Provincial Government, there was no family, and his widow would' have been well off. Thus, with Farrell sent out of the way, the path to guilty pleasure and the possession of money would have been open and unbarred. These supply the motives for the crime, and it must be admitted they are very powerful. But despite all this, and Farrell's positive identification of Ryan as his assailant, the jury discharged the prisoner. The case is a very strange one and discloses a dark phase of human nature if Ryan were guilty of the deed. It would show that law : less lust will lead a man to the length of murder itself, and transform a woman into a Melissa of wantonness and a Donna Julia in deceit. This woman's letters, vulgar and ill-, spelt though they may sometimes be, yet in the very intensity of their passion sometimes rise to real eloquence, and the assumed " Julia," as she signs herself, and her adored "Dudu," ring all the changes in the scale of passion, just as if they had been gentle lovers of » far higher and more refined type. And

the craft whidh she displays to1 aVoid dis covery is something wdnderfili; Evidently she had studied Byron arid the French school of novelists to some purpose^ because the married woman who to blind suspicion could suggest to her lover the courting of a young girl, and even indicate the sort of letters he should write to the object of the assumed passion, must have had a profound genius sharpened by cultivation, for intrigue. The case is indeed a powerful illustration of the old, old story, that in ill-assorted unions in difference may became intensified into dis like, and that unchecked passions may lead to the gravest eriraes.— Po&t.

ALBURNIA GOLD MINING COMPANY (REGISTERED).-ANNUAL MEET ING.

t The fourth annual meeting of this Company ', was held this afternoon at the Insurance Buildings. C. J. Stone, Esq., in the chair; The Secretary read the following report :— THE REPORT. In submitting their fourth annual report the directors" have to congratulate the share holders on the improved prospects of the mine as compared with last year. .In August last work 'was suspended in No. 3 .level owing t6 the great cost of landing the quariz at the company's battery, and the mine manager confined his attention to pushing ahead the low or battery level up to the specimen leader and main lode. The former was reached at the latter end of October, and has been since continuously worked with good results ; the main lode has not yielded so well, but has latterly improved in quality. The mine manager's report will enter fully into details in all matters connected ;with the mine. / v •i. The balance-rheet will show that during the year 2,312 tons of quartz have been crushed, producing 2,64r,0z. 6dwts. 12grs. goftl, or an avera 3 e of 20 l-10th. to the ton —the yield for the last two mouths so far in creasing as to enable ,\ he directors to, declare dividends of five shillings per share each, on the'2sth March and. 18th April. The, mine is still looking well, and the directors see no reason to doubt that dividends will continue to accure to the shareholders. ' For the future working of the mine m depth it will be necssary during the en suinc year that some permanent works be commenced, the necessary funds for which, the directors are confident, they can obtain from the mine. _ .■,.,... i i. It will be borne in mind that not only .has the battery level prospected the Company s claim for upwards of 500 feet uncovering several, lodes, amongst others the Sons ot Freedom, reef, the value of which the direc tors have not had the means to test; but it will be in the futnre of the utmost import: ance'for the transit of the whole-of the quartz to the battery. .. -•_- —. The low level of the Sons of Freedom Com pany will, doubtless, .drain all: the'mines in its vicinity, thus doing away with the necessity of erecting pumping; tnacniriarj1 for along time t0.c0me.,,: '■..•' N; According to the Company's rules one' director retires anually.: On' this occasion Mr William Morrin vacates his .seat, and, being absent from' the gcolbny, it will be necessary to elect his successor. The directors having managed the afiairs of the company during .the last four .years without any remuneration recommend that the sum of two hundred pounds-be;appro priated as an honorarium for the ensuing year. ■ For the directors, \CktJl Stoke,. > Chairman.

The mine manager's report was also read. The Chairman moved the adoption of the reports and balance-sheet, and dilated upon the prosperity of the Company. Mr Joseph Howard seconded the motion. Mr T. Macfarlane asked whether the managers - ought, not to have .endeavoured to prevent delinquences, as he believed that pilfering was still going on in the mine. He had possession of the names of parties engaged in the mine who were suspected of stealing.

The manager explained that every pre cautions were taken, at the. same time he would be glad if Mr Macfarlane could give him any information. He believed that stealing from the mine was now impossible in consequence of the extra precautions he had taken. In answer to Mr T. L. White the manager stated that every man work ing in the mine changed his clothing in his presence on coming up. The Chairman said, that the directors would be glad to offer a liberal reward to any one giving information of any pilfering if such was going on. The report was then adopted unanimously. Mr T. Macfarlane was elected a director in place of Mr Morrin. This was all the business.
