Widow on Murder Charge Heard in Lismore Trial

In Lismore on Thursday a Maclean fisherman denied that a widow accused of killing her husband had a vision guiding her actions. Alfred Teney Cherie Smith died in October 1961 and was exhumed in March this year. Pateman, giving evidence, said Mrs. Smith had lived with the husband since his death and that he bore no affection for her while he was alive.

Jean Smith, sister of the dead man, testified that Smith looked unwell hours before his death and that a few days earlier his hair began to fall out.
